    Where is the overlap between using Premier Pro, CS4 with Final effects , AE etc.
    Seems one does alot of the others.
    What benefits of Premiere Pro that others can’t Do.

    On the mac site with FCP; What is best for it to do where I’d shift back to Premiere pro ?

    At risk of engaging in theological discussion, I always found Premiere faster for editing than FCP. I have mastered the keyboard for both, but FCP always had me hunting around the UI to find something for cutting, while Premiere just has everything in front of me.

    What is it you are TRYING to do so that this question is easier to answer. As it is, they are all good editing tools, but what specific need do you have? That would make answering what system you need a little easier.

    Thanks for the reply . !

    If one were to do just audio/video editing; forgetting the music, midi etc. What is the pluses of one over the other. Making DVD’s animaition with PS, AE then to Pro. Perhaps FCP is not in this arena of being all music.

    That sounds like a work flow question… and, to answer that question you need to know what your will doing… and, by that I mean… are you going to do mostly compositing or editing… are you going to do develop a project for delivery in final form such as DVD or just prep it for others to finish in what ever format they need… those are just a couple of questions that need to be answered before anyone could say one application is best or better than another (or, how to use them in terms of preference).

    if all you are doing is editing – then there is no plus of one over the other – use the one you know and like. If you have to everything from editing to composting to mixing to encoding and making DVDs – I think CS4 is currently a better set of well integrated tools.
