Is this a professional software?

[Alex Udell] “Hey Walter…

thanks for the chime in. Agree whole heartedly with your philosophy on this.

I was merely pointing out that many ppl conflate Dynamic Link as somehow performance enhancing realtime playback for AE or tying it into the Mercury playback engine. That’s all.”

Actually my apologies, I misread your original statement. I thought you said it was THE only method of communication, but your post was spot on. Sorry about the confusion and good info.

I agree with just about everyone else. I switched to Premiere last December and after a few projects to get used to the interface changes have come to really like it. We then switched our entire facility to Premiere from Final Cut Pro 7 (12 editors and graphic artists) about 30 days ago and although there was initial hesitation, you wouldn’t find a single person today who would switch back.

Myself and 8 of our editors are using the newer 27″ iMacs, souped up with 32Gb of RAM and the best graphics card you can put into them. We have a mixture of AJA IO XT’s, T-TAPs and Black Magic UltraStudios. These systems have all been really solid for us. We do everything from commercials and trade show videos to multiple half-hour and hour long broadcast shows.

Our four power editors are still on Mac Pros, and I must admit, those aren’t as solid for us nor are they as smooth and fast as the iMacs. We are planning to switch them all over to the new Mac Pro early next year.

So from my experience, if you have a Premiere married up with a system it likes then you’ll be very happy with the results.

Before putting cash out on a new video board, Premiere CC comes out very soon and will offer similar acceleration with ATI video boards. It’s not going to make a low end board sing like a high end Quadro, but if you have a nicer ATI board and plan on upgrading to CC, OpenCL will speed things up very soon.
