Adobe Premiere Pro 11 or 12?
As a college graduate I have experience using Final Cut 7 & X. However, I do not own a Mac. I have an HP. Before I go into specifications, I do have a LaCie hard drive that is formatted for both! I do not have the money to get a mac (I have to admit that I havent looked for refurbished ones though). When I was in high school and I first became interested in video production I learned how to edit on Adobe Premiere (not sure which version). In looking online at what I would like to get there were bad reviews for 12, and people said to stick with Adobe Premiere 11. What are thoughts on this? I haven’t used the program in a while so I’d need a brush up on it anyway, but I really would like a program for this fall that I can do a few projects with.

The current version of the software is called the Adobe Creative Cloud 2014…and the specific version of Premiere Pro is 8.1. It’s pretty dang good…

I agree with Shane. Go with the Creative Cloud version of Premiere. If you’re used to FCP7, it shouldn’t take long to get the hang of Premiere. Adobe has some great learning resources online through Adobe TV too.

I am looking at Amazon for the software and the reviews for the adobe creative cloud are not too great. However, I will say that the reviews are from 2013 and they may be people who are even more of a rookie than me at the software. Also, there is a fee of about $50 a month. I’m not sure if I’m up to paying that per month just yet. Were there major improvements done to the cloud program? I trust your judgement way more than the reviews, but I just want to make sure I do everything I can to make sure I have a valuable program before purchasing. thanks for your help!

The Adobe CC suite is great, professional software. It’s not without it’s bugs, but the new features really improve it over the CS6 version.
You can pay $20/month for just Premiere or $50/month for basically the newest version of all of Adobe’s creative software. On the flip side, you can pay around $1000 for for the CS6 Suite, which is definitely still great software. But why pay more for older software when you can have the better, most up-to-date version for cheaper?
If the cost is too steep, which is understandable, look into Final Cut X ($300 I believe?). I’m personally not a big fan as it is a very different way of editing, but it is definitely becoming more accepted professionally. Although the basics of editing will always be knowing when, or maybe more accurately, when not to cut, it is still not a bad idea to keep up with the latest software and technology in order to make yourself more marketable.
