PPro offers what BIG advantages over X?

[Herb Sevush]

[tony west] “For me Herb, I want the power of audition but I want to use X so RX gives me what I’m looking for.”

I totally get it. Before switching to Adobe I used Soundforge to clean up my audio and they have many of the Izotope filters bundled in and the quality is great. I’m still tempted to buy RX4 Advanced to use ambience match, the room tone filter, de-reverb and the leveler within Audition – tempting despite the price.

[Herb Sevush] ” tempting despite the price”

I hear you. It is not a cheap program : )

I started with lite RX2 and lite RX3 and when 4 Advance came up they offered a discount to if you had 3 to upgrade. It still was more jack than I wanted to pay but I figured for what I was getting I couldn’t justify not having it. I will be doing my taxes next month and will be bringing in that reciept : )

Well, several things but X has this one advantage: No track Tetris

Charlie, thought you might enjoy this one. 😉

[Shane Ross] “Premiere does require more in order to edit native formats…it does require GOBS of RAM, fast processors, and a good GPU for smooth performance. “

I think that’s overstated? – an i7 processor, 16gb of ram and any gpu over a gig will do pretty much anything – in terms of card media and janky mp4s without a hitch.
that’s for 1080p – not speaking to heavy 4K or that, but for 1080p card native mixed with grab bags of codecs for broadcast/corporate reels, premiere will generally eat it like breakfast on anything half well specced inside the last three years.

[Bob Woodhead] “multiple workspaces”

This is a big one for me.

*Audio. — the in-app mixer and effects are excellent.
*Audio. — sending to Audition to “fix it in post” is pure magic.
*Audio. — OMF and AAF.

*After Effects Dynamic Link is sweet!
*Integration with Photoshop and Illustrator.

(Please note the XML from 7 into PP has some issues you cannot foresee. It gets the cuts pretty well, but that’s a simple EDL. The troublesome part has been translating workflow styles, for example, an editor used tiff mattes to make an editing effect (blinking falling thing transition), and when the XML came over the entire effect had to be rebuilt, and that meant dynamic link into After Effects, where I think the effect looked better, but, for the purposes here, the XML couldn’t do what it couldn’t do, and although deadline was made, there was some extra time involved.)

it’s not bad though charlie – I’ve found in context freeform bezier masking with tracking – such as it is – for CC a bit of a revelation? Nevermind you can plop the entire edit into speedgrade with a full roundtrip in seconds basically. that nearly feels ludicrous.

i’m one of the idiots that held to the old style of shifting the edit to AE for dupe layered screen/multiply masking dodge and burn with adjustment layers on top for final grade.

that ppro is currently doing that entire task in realtime, on native media, is still somewhat blowing my mind? X is grand-ish for CC – but ppro is outright crazy.

[Andy Field] “”Working with mono stereo tracks is no fun In Pr Pro”

Easily solved…in audio preferences you can chose to import mono stereo clips as split track mono….done”

Nope. Unless there’s another setting, it has no effect on files imported via XML. Everything comes in split, and can’t be combined in the timeline. You can link L/R, but they still act as independent mono files. Going from 7 to X used to result in the same thing, but IA fixed it. I’m sure it’s because the sequence calls for discrete L/R tracks, but it’s a huge PITA…

SETTINGS:

File Via XML:

File Imported on it’s own:
