Premiere CS6 versus FCP7 when speed is of the essence
I’m about to start editing a 4 day seminar which includes one camera and Keynote / Powerpoint movie files.
Speed is of the essence since I’m approaching my deadline rapidly.
So my question is: Should I use Premiere Pro CS6 or FCP7.
The footage was shot at 720p on a Panasonic GH-2. With FCP I’ll have to log and transfer before I can start editing while Premiere can deal with the files natively. BUT, it seems that exporting from Premiere is excruciatingly slow – so I’m wondering which program can get the job done fastest? In the end it is all going on DVD.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

PPro/AME will kick out mpeg2 files pretty quickly. Plus the ability to throw ANY file you’re gonna run across with those PPT presentations will save you time.

I say edit in the program you are more experienced in. That said, depending the speed of your system premiere does a pretty good job of exporting gh2 footage relatively quickly.

If you’re up to speed on Premiere, it will run rings around FCP 7. If you’re still fumbling through Premiere, the speed of the application will do you no good.
