Deciding whether to swith to PremierePro CS6

[Gary Huff] “To be fair, I hear this far more from the Apple fanboys than the Windows fanboys.”
Funny I hear this far more with everyone that hates Apple period.
No worries I dont take sides on these subjects just from my own experience.
Sadly its not like that with everyone.
I have friends and colleagues that dont share the same views as me and have witnessed both platforms frailties.
I dont take sides when trying to help other fix their issues.
Doesnt do me any good since I too use both platforms day to day.

Just tools folks just tools 🙂

Download the trial, give it a whirl. If you switch you may as well run windoze 7 and get an HP workstation because yes, that’ll give you the most bang for the buck. I still think it’s easier for a one person show to run a mac, Windows 7 just takes more work to setup (my mac mini vs my two windows 7 laptos with Windows Enterprise), drivers etc but you may be lucking and if you have an IT dept then go for it.

I have both PP5.5 and FCPx and for what I do FCPx is a lot easier to use – interface is way cleanser and the organization of footage is years ahead of Adobe but sure there is a lot missing for pros. If I were a major edit house I would be still using what I had FPC 7 or PP5.5 – no big company jumps on the latest of greatest. Use what works best for you.

I love it when folks get into a pissing match about the whole Premiere Pro vs FCPx thing, makes for a great read. Apple is about making money and the pro market is insignificant compared to iPhones and iPads, just remember that. Apple is not your friend, neither is Adobe remember that – what ever they say and how much candy they offer you, they are out to make $$$ – pick what works best for you.

Curious, because Adobe makes their money by catering to professionals, unlike Apple.
