Move to 1.5 worth it (I already have it)
Well we bouht the video pro suite last year and it was with in weeks of the pro 1.5 release so we had an automatic upgrade. I moved to AE 6.5 but I left premiere pro at version 7 and also kept version 6 as I have a ton of old projects and found it more relaible at times. My question is I have read lots of pain with 1.5 but I have pains with 7 so should I move to 1.5 will there be some things that are worth it? One big pain I had with 7 over the old 6.5 was how fussy the render was when dealing with various footage sources. I had a project assembled from various sources that had minor FPS mismatch. The movie was 20 mins long maybe had lots of chops and changes and it took 2 hours to render. The final movie flashed and flickered (I had to use it I was late for a meeting) Once I had time I took each clip indiviudal and rendered so each clip had the same properties. Then re-rendered the final clip this time less than 10 mins to render and output was great, this is good NOW I know but for this proce it should get the job done. It also hates DivX and I had issue with some screen capture video that I discovered had dropped frames, as soon as I went to render premiere crashed. I opened in virtualdub and rendered without issue. So free one worked the PRO one did not. I don’t want to bash this product I love Adobe stuff, I have used PS and illustrator for years, I adore After Effects but wish that premiere would match. Is there ways to get this thing working better taht I have missed maybe? I admit I have a lot to learn on the video side I tend to dabble when a project needs it. I know 2 is out now but to have to upgrade AGAIN in the hope it will work, I don’t know. I used to advice this suite but wonder if maybe Vegas would be a better bet for video.

I’m a long time Premiere user. Version 1.5 is great, but after playing with ver. 2.0, I would say move to 2. It’s so worth it.

Thanks for the reply, I will blow the dust of the 1.5 disks and then I will see what I can do about getting 2.0. Budget used to be great a few years ago, these days it gets very tight.
