[Oliver Peters] “Is so, Premiere?”

Hell, 46 cuts in a 65 second cuts-only spot. iMovie? 😉

[Robin S. Kurz] “Say what you will about FCP’s supposed “lacking” feature-set (whatever someone thinks that could be), but what it does it does well and at least in my case very solidly. Can’t personally think of any bug worth mentioning that has survived more than maybe two updates.
“

Exactly, Robin.

Here’s a question to debate: If Premiere was a standalone product in the market (not attached to Adobe and the other products at all), where do you feel it would rank in the NLE world? I ask that because I hear so many people saying they use Premiere because of the (kinda good) links with AE and PS. What if it wasn’t?

Have at it, folks! 😉

[Andrew Kimery] “So… don’t use it? “

I don’t. Not saying having presets for social sites is a bad thing (at least that’s what I thought I said). If that is your workflow, you can set that up in X as well. However, for Premiere users (albeit it very infrequently in my case) having a new social panel with two-way data flow show up while old bugs still exist and new bugs show up is very frustrating, to the point of the OP leaving the software to move to another platform.

[Andrew Kimery] “While the Social Media Publishing feature isn’t anything I would use, for people that publish a lot to social media this could be a boon for them.”

So make it an option. Or a plug in. And it’s not just a set of presets on the export panel, but also starts sending back data about your posts to your Premiere system. https://www.provideocoalition.com/new-social-publishing-panel-beta-premiere-pro/

No thank you. Focus on a new title tool please. Or the tilde bug.

[Guille Ibanez] “Adobe is that they seem to focus on very silly flashy features like that new ‘Social media publishing panel’ “

Oh god yes. The last thing I need is this bolted on to my export panel. I thought this when I saw this panel previewed at Adobe Max. The CC has gotten so huge (https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/desktop.html) and diverse yet most of us here really need 3 or 4 of the softwares. If I were a die-hard CC fan, I would be concerned that Adobe is losing it’s focus.

[Oliver Peters] “Funny that FCPX 10.3 looks a whole lot more like Premiere Pro that it used to ☺”

I had a series of short videos for web delivery to edit last week. For fun, I did some on Premiere and some on FCPX. INMHO, FCPX is a way way more elegant interface and does not distract from the creative process. Plus Premiere (CC2017)is buggy as shit. My favorite new bug is when I use the tilde key to make the source side monitor full screen, it will not go back to it’s normal spot. Rather the video stays centered behind the record monitor. Loads of time wasting fun that was not there in earlier versions.

Thanks for sharing. I did get a chuckle at the line that said the Premiere interface “It looked clean, elegant and it seemed to work really well”….that’s one of my biggest complaints even today with the interface: cluttered jumble of edit-hieroglyphics.

My opinion only of course! 😉

[Oliver Peters] “Your contention was that it took Premiere a long time to be ready for long-form, yet in the examples cited, “Gone Girl” and “Focus”, it was the film that was using Premiere that was in post ahead of the one using FCPX.”

I think my point was more that Premiere was around a lot longer before anyone trusted it for feature work, correct?
