Description
People wanna know what I think about Adobe Premiere and FCP. Well, this video is NOT meant to upset anyone who uses Adobe products. They make very, very good products. And Im not saying Premiere is NOT a good product either. It is a very good product just as capable as FCP. But I do have a preference and in this video I'll tell you that preference and give you some reasons why.

Lastly Premiere has an advantage on metadata and web authoring - Adobe Story and Adobe Onlocation workflows for Premiere are also amazing
However, Premiere has zero subcaption integration and the new fix timeline gaps and clip markers are better tools than Premiere has (for one you have to click on a marker to read it and they remain in the same place after an edit)
AJA beats Matrox, too - BTW
BTW: The biggest advantages for FCP (to me) are J-K-L trimming (dynamic trimming), mouse ball timeline controls, numberpad data entry behavior, ability to save created effects to a bin and lastly better keyboard customization
+ Euphonix control surfaces (especially useful for audio and color correction)
+ On a laptop you also get pinching and swipe controls
I use FCP, AP and AMC weekly (3 different producers) - All are useful depending on your needs - All three can exist on the same Mac (yep, Mac) - I prefer to edit on AMC for features and long format shows (script sync helps too), AP for documentaries and reality shows (media clip and auto transcribing help), FCP for commercial and shorter "pre-formatted" programs (Color and LiveType rule)
Lastly. I take exception to your comment about people who use Adobe products not being professional. I have been operating a video production/motion graphics company for over 10 years now and the Adobe package has always been our software of choice. I like to think I am very much a professional.
Plus...you cannot honestly compare Motion to After Effects???
Actually...if you havent noticed. You also get Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash...which are all essential tools for any good video editor or motion graphics artist. Plus you also get OnLocation which used to be a $700-800 program on its own and is amazing. Plus you also get Blu-Ray authoring with Encore, which from what I can tell, you do not get with FCP Studio. Just a thought...
The new Final Cut Studio has only one thing that Adobe Premiere doesn't have, and that is Color which is fantastic. However, the rest of the 'new features' appeared in Adobe Premiere CS4 months ago. For the first time Apple is playing catch-up to Adobe.
It seems to me that you are simply another Mac addict that doesn't like anything that isn't created by Apple.
