P Pro lack of good third party support (transitions)
As a long time editor on Avid DS and a recent user of FCP, I am very impressed with a lot of what I saw today after installing CS5 upgrade on my Mac Pro. Lots of speed…good dynamic linking to AE (BIG SELLER).
But I am underwhelmed with the third party support, specifically in the area of transitions. Granted FCP has lots of tacky choicss, but FX Factory has lots of things that are quite cool(film flare transitions,etc) There is nothing out there to supplement the very vanilla wipes and dissolves in Premiere Pro from the extensive searching I have done. Its a shame that such a powerful NLE is so limited in this respect…otherwise its a real winner from my first exploration.Avid DS/FCP Editor

Maybe its the platform you’re to running it on. -
Yes.from what Ive heard at other forums the MAC seems to be missing quite a few transitions. But the third party offerings for both platforms are insufficient for my purposes. I spoke to Noise Industries (FX Factory) who has created a bunch of innovative transitions for FCP and AE about this and I get the feeling the may spotlight PP MAC for their next platform for development since CS5 has really accelerated its popularity.

On the windows side I use effects and stuffs from Prodad and Newbluefx which usually takes care of what I need.

Brian, yes I did check those out. They didnt have what I was looking for unfortunately.

Did you look at Adobe’s list of third party venders?

Yes Brain, I checked out each one of the third party vendors. What I found didnt have the kind of sophisticated transitions I was looking for.
If you check out the Noise Factory site and then look only at the FX Factory transitions (and not the prebuilt efx) you will get an idea of what I wanted.Avid DS/FCP Editor

One thing you might do is take a third party AFX transition you want to use try it in Ppro, some AFX stuff will work in Ppro
