[Bill Davis] “Rather than a design where you are EXPECTED to leave the NLE in order to do anything beyond the basics. The “many co-equal” programs with no hub seems to fit the ADOBE model with a wide array of Standalone programs that exist to run separately, AE, Prelude, Audition, etc, etc, – separate and distinct from the NLE. Each with their own look, feel, and learning curve. “
Not true at all, Adobe are building powerful tools INTO PPro itself, Lumetri Colour is fantastic, a lot of the AE filters are in PPro and the keyframe editing in PPro when you are compositing is excellent. Plus the audio tools, including two mixers, mean there is also less reason to leave PPro. But of course if you you DO need to these there is proper roundtrip between the Adobe Apps.
