[Walter Soyka] “Or not 🙂 I don’t see any posts from you in the Premiere forum.”

Like I said, I have found this forum more responsive. Both the Premiere forum and the AE forums are quite slow. Look how fast I got suggestions (and opinions) here. 😉

[Walter Soyka] “But I really don’t mean to be the forum police, so I’ll bow out of that part of the conversation”

I think thats a conversation of one! I just want Premiere to work. Got any ideas?

[Oliver Peters] “As a test, move or remove all the third-party plug-ins from Premiere and AE.”

Now if I did not add any third party plugins, are they still part of the CC package?

[Walter Soyka] “the best place on the COW to discuss your issue would be the Premiere Pro forum [link]”

Actually Walter, I have found this “X” forum more responsive.

I would prefer to edit the pieces in FCPX, so….

Perfect. Dennis, send this up to marketing! “The NLE with the left blinker always on…”

[David Powell] ” I can move half of my FCPX work over to Premiere.”

But why? Only half?

[Richard Herd] “I love the AE interface.”

Really? Wow. Crazy small icons, timeline view feels ancient, please give me a keyboard short cut for in and out points when adding video…the list goes on. Great results, painful way to get there. C’mon Adobe, there has got to be a better way. Who cares what Avid does, make it better! 😉 IMHO, only.

[Oliver Peters] “It might not be an issue with Epic.”

Lets hope so. Not sure there are enough frozen peas in central Louisiana in July….

[Herb Sevush] “From a user’s standpoint I long for the software that has all the doors I need and not a single one more. In that sense Adobe is closest – it let’s you add complexity by linking to other programs at your discretion.”

I agree. That’s what I like about X as well. Add all the doors you need through the plug-in world, nothing more. What I would like to see in X is a “door”/plugin manager, so you can turn on and off the “doors” you need based on the project. Like the old Event Manager plugin.

Adobe is close, but it’s interfaces are so horrid (doing some basic AE work now and the software is really great, but the interface is just awful…worse than Premiere.) I choose to stay away from that “hallway” no matter how many doors I might like to use
