Is it really worth upgrading to CS6?

PP6 is excellent software. I’m doing an offline edit of RED EPIC 5K footage on a 2009 17″ MacBook Pro. I have to use 1/16 resolution, but coming from the earliest days of lo-rez AVID editing, that’s nothing. And it’s not just cuts-only, I can use simple transitions, effects and motion parameters. All with software-only Mercury Engine. Pretty amazing.

Truth… once you use a good robust dynamic system of trimming you will not be able to edit without it… it is just so much faster, smoother, and more efficient than using trim tools.

Absolutely worth the price of admission. Much improved interface alone is worth it. Performance is faster across the board and it’s definitely more stable than 5.5 was.
Audio controls are improved over 5.5 though not perfect yet. Should be improved as the product moves forward. Media management is still sketchy, but if you follow the advice in “An Editor’s Guide to Adobe Premiere Pro” from Richard, Robbie and Jeff you’ll be able to manually manage it well.
Upgrades are not just about the whiz bang new features, they’re also about the underpinnings of the application. Adobe has done a great job “under the hood” with this new version and it points to a good future. I would absolutely upgrade to CS6 for the improved performance.
