But then you know that already if you have $1,699 to spend on video editing software. On the other hand, if you want to integrate well with Photoshop CS3 and After Effects CS3, then Premiere is for you. Vegas is far easier to use than Premiere, and you will get excellent results a lot faster with a lot less headache. If you want to move into more high-end software I'd recommend Vegas Video Pro or Premiere CS3, definitely in that oder. I would stay away from Pinnacle, they are notorious for stability problems. Your friend needs to stop using hallucinogenic drugs, but Premiere is nice enough if you can handle the awkward work flow, frequent crashes and Adobe idiosyncrasies.įor home users I'd recommend Vegas Movie Studio, Ulead DVD Video Studio or Premiere Elements, possibly in that order. My Friend who is a professional video editor for documentaries says there is only one (PC) video editing program 'Adobe Premiere CS3', the rest are just toys.
