Had a little testing with premiere cs4. It is terrible. What are Adobe thinking of? Photoshop seems good and After Effects seems good–works well enough.

I experimented with Premiere Cs4–I would never buy it. Adobe has messed up with Prem and no mistake. Many of us will become accustomed to using it and adapt to it. But is there any need for it?

Could Adobe not just have taken Cs3 or Cs2 and added some funcionality? Instead they have removed so much and offered a commodity in the way of the encoder. But could they not have kept the core of cs3 and added the encoder to that?
