Premiere Back on Mac

woof69 writes "After dropping OS X support for Premiere some time in 2003, Adobe is bringing it back in the new Adobe Production Studio. The new software includes After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Encore DVD, and Soundbooth, and will be available for Apple's Intel-based computers in mid-2007; an updated version of the Windows suite will ship at the same time. Does Final Cut have a fight on its hands?"

Re:Cinelerra

Easy. Cinelerra sucks. Now I know lots of people are probably jumping to dispute this, but it is nonetheless a fact that Cinelerra is non-intuitive, unstable, and, from my experience, unsuitable for anything. Adobe Premiere, on the other hand, is exactly what Cinelerra isn't. It's stable, full-featured and gets the job done. I remember when I tried to switch to a completely Linux-based video production solution using Cinelerra and I was sorely disappointed. I kept going back to Cinelerra each time thinking, "Okay, this time I'm gonna figure out this stupid UI and make it work some magic!" And I never did. Until Cinelerra is usable and can do what Premiere does as well as it does it (or better) I'll be using Premiere, thanks very much.
