“As for capturing and editing at 24 from DVCAM, Premiere Pro
doesn’t have a utility or ability to remove 3:2 pulldown on capture
or afterwards.”Just curious, what is happening if you work on a project(shot 24P Advanced on a DVX100B) in a 24P time line in Premiere Pro 2 if this is the case? Is it not true 24 fps?

If you’ve burned the DVD in Encore, chances are you should be able to copy the VOB file and rename it for import into PPro. Sometimes, I have to rename it using through the Command Prompt feature in windows – that allows you to change the file extension from VOB to MPG.

Not sure how often anyone from Adobe goes over the posts on this site. I would make a phone call to Adobe, and I think there is a place on their website where you can report bugs…not sure about that though.

In PPro 1.5, I’ve mixed 24P footage with 60i footage, and the results are mixed. It seems that 1.5 doesn’t like to mix the two on the same time line. If you set up your timeline for 29.97, then add 24P footage, it will want to render the 24P footage as soon as drop it on the timeline, resulting in jerky playback for that footage. If I recall correctly, the reverse holds true as well – 24P timeline with 29.97 footage results in 29.97 footage not playing correctly.
The funny thing is, if you burn a DVD right from the timeline, it will all play just fine on the resulting DVD. But if you need to roll it off to tape, the 24P footage will be jerky.
I haven’t used 30P footage, so I can’t comment on how PPro would respond. PPro 2.0 is supposed to be able to handle both formats on the same timeline with no problems.

They are very close in feature set…each one has its own quirks and way of working. Having spent a lot of time editing with both, I think Adobe has really nailed it with the current release.
I could list a side-by-side comparison (or you could find one on-line somewhere), but you know something, in this case it really all comes down to what you, as an editor, feel most comfortable with. I love the way PPro, and the other Adobe apps, work. For me, everything just sort of flows together…I don’t find things to be that easy or smooth with FCP and the Apple apps. They are good, but not great. But I have plenty of editor friends who think the opposite.
Download the trial version of PPro 2 and play with it…see what you think. Honestly, that’s the best way for you to figure it out.

Definitly key in AE…Keylight in AE is far and away better then anything PPro can do…
Not sure if Keylight in AE 7 is a newer version then in 6.5…

I’m a long time Premiere user. Version 1.5 is great, but after playing with ver. 2.0, I would say move to 2. It’s so worth it.

I edit with both and I have to say that I prefer PPro to FCP. They are very similar in many ways, but there are a few things that really bug me about FCP. First is having to remember to change the project save settings every time you open a different project. I’ve forgotten and found render files and autosave files in different project folder many times. Also, the constant need to relink media everytime I make a change in an AE or LiveType file is a bother.
I could nitpick both, but the bottom line is they are both very powerful tools. My advice is to spend sometime on both and see what you think. If you have the whole Adobe suite, in my opinion, you have something that currently Apple’s suite can’t match.
