[TImothy Auld] “Did you find out that Apple has no more than 8% penetration in the enterprise world? “

We are veering wildly OT here! 🙂

Here is another quote from you: ” And Apple does have a monumentally bad reputation in the business world. ”
You changed from reputation to marketshare. Which one is it? Marketshare and reputation are two different things. One is qualitative, the other quantitative. My sources are simply observation, I admit. But there are a few articles out there to support it.

Anyway, apologies in veering OT.

[Aindreas Gallagher] ” Premiere Pro broke off the chain quite a while ago.
That thing is currently loose and knocking over trees.”

Using both, I would say saplings or dead small ones….

[Steve Connor] “Solved it!”

Exactly what I do. Or an event just called “cuts”.

[Dennis Radeke] “media import – You definitely should use the Media Browser panel if you’re not already. Dock your favorite or current Media directories as favorites. If you’re still using cmd+I to import media into Premiere Pro, then I can completely understand your frustration (with any NLE that does that).”

Doing it this way, I still have to drill down through the folder structure to get to the media I want to use, correct?With this 4K job I am in right now (using X) I would have to do a lot of “drilling” to get to the files. With X, I can point to the folder and just tell it to not make collections from folders and it tosses all the XML files and just gets the media. MUCH faster and less chance for missing files. Am I missing an “ignore folders” command in Pr? I even went to Lynda.com to see of I can find that….

Will these start to eliminate the need to go to Resolve? At least reduce the need? Meaning, X, CF and Corel?

[Dennis Radeke] “help you loathe Premiere Pro less I would just point out a few things.”

Thanks Dennis –

Like I said before, I am going to give Premiere a fair shake. I think too many folks on these type forums trash another product without ever using it.

I appreciate your response. I posted on the Adobe forum and got no Adobe response. Post on an X forum, and I get an official employee to respond! Go figure! 😉

I do prefer X by a wide margin over Premiere (so far), but the realities of my region are that I need to know both (Avid is no longer in the picture). Hopefully by the middle of May when this next gig is done, I will have an even more rounded view of the two products. It will be fun because I am going to be cutting different projects at the same time using X for one and Premiere for the other.

regards –

Scott

[James Ewart] “It is so gratifying to still have Aindreas here on tippy toes peeking over the garden fence”

True. Unfortunately Aindreas (self admitted in this thread somewhere, I believe) has little to no experience on X, so it’s very difficult to take his criticism seriously. But his posts are certainly entertaining!

[Bill Davis] “And honestly, if you’re willing to trade the efficiency and extra productivity for some vague “appearance to others of professionalism” then I doubt X will ever be the tool for you.
“

So true. Who cares what it looks like? My clients hire me for the finished product, not how it gets there. They trust me for taking care of their project, workflow and budget, and when I said I was ditching Avid, they were cool. When I said I was ditching FCP7, they were cool. They just care about their product and the process and price getting there. For me, X is the best tool for the my clients based on my judgement, not theirs.

This “Fischer Price” argument is ridiculous. If you are worried about the look more than the process and final product, there is a problem. You should be editing on a Q-Box, Smoke or Flame (DS, if you can find one). They looks WAY more complicated, therefore better, right?

My question still stands. Where are you getting your information? Personal observation? If so, that’s cool, but needs to be taken in context. No biggie, just when broad statements like that are made, it’s interesting to find out the source.

Thanks Aindreas. The standard interface sucks, but it’s good to know it can get less sucky.

Seriously I have this gig and then another 11 days on Pr CC in May so I am hoping I will see the strengths and differences of each. I am putting together a list! Either way, as alot of us say, it’s good to know all three A’s.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “It’s a hotrod “

Hardly, when compared to X, but I will give it a fair shake!
