Why is PPro not suited for feature films?

[Steve Brame] “Such as during the move from film to digital, or linear to non-linear, or 8-track to cassettes.”
Yeah, but I don’t know that I’d put it in such sweeping terms. There’s clearly a niche that will need to be filled in FCP’s absence, and Adobe (and others like Grass Valley and Lightworks) seem to be glad to finally be getting a second glance.
But Avid wants a piece of that pie just as much as anyone else. Seems like they were just as quick as Adobe to jump on the “company that cares” bandwagon. And really, I don’t see a lot of incentive at the moment for a seasoned Avid editor to make a permanent switch to something like Premiere for long-form projects.
Adobe does seem like they’re netting a lot of FCP converts, though, present company included. So we’ll see what comes of that.
I think there’s a long way to go before Premiere becomes viable enough in the market to make knowing it a skill that’s high in demand. It’s an uphill battle, and I think Adobe is doing really great things, but widespread adoption is certainly not a given like the eventual turnover to digital. Looking forward to seeing what they do with CS6.

Thatt prelude thing sound like a multi user interface.
Did anyone here do the adobeish survey? if reading between the lines is acceptable it kinda gave some insights on what adobe is thinking of.

The people from automatic duck closed shop and became adobe. Why would adobe hire the industry experts on making disparing apps work together?
Could it be that they want avid to dynamically sync into any adobe product? or maybe edius,vegas and even fcpx? I realy think adobe is slowly closing in for a kill.RC
p.s. Not to mention the new lightroom 4 with its video capabilities including trimming and some color correction.

“Not to mention the new lightroom 4 with its video capabilities including trimming and some color correction.”
Unless it’s completely non-destructive, I don’t think I’d want to do color correction on individual clips before bringing them into PPro and seeing how they flow together in a sequence. What if the clip you tweaked in lightroom doesn’t match up to another one that you really wanted to use right after it? Or what if you spend a somewhat significant amount of time tweaking a group of clips and when you get them into to the edit you change your mind and decide not to use them?
All that aside- after reading about Prelude, watching a demo of Speedgrade, and remembering that Wes Plate is now at Adobe, I’m starting to think CS6 will cause quite a stir…

This is an awesome feature. But from what I’ve heard you have to create presets for each individual clip you want to have color corrected in lightroom. If only adobe could include some of the Photoshop/Lightroom corrections in Premiere Pro. That would be great!

Gareth Edwards edited Monsters in Premiere Pro. See this for details.
Premiere Pro was also used in various capacities on The Social Network, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Hugo, Act of Valor, and Avatar.

Wow I have never seen that video, great! Finally a big movie on Premiere. I have to say, adobe are good when it comes to promoting themselves.
When I saw a video on adobes webpage about when “the social network” used After Effects I just thought to myself, ‘the whole thing would be a lot easier for you if you would just cut the movie on Premiere instead. I wonder if Angus Wall will change software soon or stay with fcp 7.

It going to take sometime because editors allways feel more comfortable cutting in their day to day tools. FCP has some tools that are not similar in PPro that FCP users adore. Not that it can not be done in PPro but they don’t whant or can’t take the time to relearn. (relaerning can be a pain)
Having tried FCp and knowing it had great capabilities but it drived me nuts. things like transcoding always,renedering everthing always even for a small change, the timeline does not scroll so everything is zin and z out. also the menu was mess no logic you would find commands all over so you really needed to use it a lot to make it work for you.
Its a great program and to its user base these issues and others did not matter. Guess its the same with us in PPrp and avid. To each its own.
Imagine FCP as an offline tool and PPro as a finnishing tool, who would have said?
Hopefully it will change soon and we will see many features not only edited but conformed in PPro.
