Does PPro work with color at all? I have really worked hard to learn color and absolutley love working with it.

He wants to know about all kinds of things: ancient history, nineteenth-century mathematics, current manufacturing techniques, flower arranging, and hog futures. Because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six months, or six years down the road. But he has faith that it will happen.” — Carl Ally

To be honest I only threw premiere in for completeness but it’s my least favorite. Avid is on the top of my list but I need to make sure it works with my workflow.
Yep, avid isn’t going anywhere and now that apple seems to have dropped the ball and premiere was never a real competitor avid is probably going up again with it’s prices and start to slack again. 😀 -
Thanks. But what I meant is if MC 5.5 will work with cineform material?
-
Yeah, although I have never worked with avid I heard it has a really steep learning curve.

Premiere’s interoperability for me is one of it’s greatest strengths. But then I use Maxon’s c4d and Vue for 3d and After Effects for compositing. Maxon and Adobe have got it going on for together. C4d and After Effects work together magically. I grade with 3rd party plugin tools that work both in Premiere and AE.
Interoperability with Photoshop and Illustrator are also huge factors. Roundtrip!
I also do Flash work, so obviously it’s nice to have the full Adobe ecosystem. I have the complete CS5.5 Master Suite. Audio round trips via Soundbooth.
I recognize the OP has a different set of apps and specs to marry up with. Perhaps I should have withheld my thoughts.
Life is full of funny particles.

Try Premiere Pro CS5.5. We’ve dramatically improved the application since CS2. Most notably is 64bit architecture and the Mercury Playback Engine.

Yeah, I know of that. This is the thing about premiere and adobe. It seems to work very well with the mid-level stuff but not really with the higher-end stuff. Instead of After Effects (which isn’t really a compositing tool), Cinema 4D and plug-ins for color correction with AE I need Nuke/Fusion, Maya/3DS Max/Lightwave and Da Vinci.
I think this may be where premiere gets it’s prosumer rep.
Like I said I have no interest in After Effects or any of the adobe products so premiere’s integration with them is the least of my worries and very low on my list of priorities.
-
For me the most important is the integration with other professional tools. The integration with Adobe stuff doesn’t really matter to me. I wont use After Affects for example when there is Nuke and Fusion. I will not color grade using After Effects or Premiere but will use Da Vinci. So how does Premiere work with Da Vinci, Nuke, Fusion, Maya, 3DS Max, Lightwave, ProTools etc?
Premiere alone doesn’t matter. I need to know if it can do what i need and if i can use it with the other tools I need. -
Sohrab, I honestly dont know. But Im sure a little Googling the next few days might reveal an answer to your question.

I worked with MC for 6 years and Avid DS for 12 years. I swore after experiencing FCP that it would be a cold day in hell before I ever went back to Avid. Your experience may differ from mine.
