Something that's huge is the fact that all Adobe programs are compatible with each other. You can make an image in Photoshop, animate it in After Effects and then add that clip to a Premier file... All while still being able to make changes to any of those files that automatically update to all the projects that it's being used in.

[@deepaparakkal4241]

That's something which I love about Adobe apps

[@ignajara]

You can add photoshop files directly into DaVinci Resolve as well. It has integrated compositing and motion graphics software and a very powerful DAW, all for free.

[@mopolo]

It's also a limitation, they limit what their software can do in order to force you to use other software. For example the way masking works in Premiere should be illegal

It’s actually triggering to watch this as an Adobe Premiere Pro editor, because you say things like “in final cut you can to this…” when you can do the exact same things in premiere, but it’s just different way to do it hahah

[@branpod]

Unfortunately all videos like this have that issue z I have 4 years of experience in each app and honestly I haven’t found a function that I can’t do in either one. Right now I’m using final cut just because it’s faster, but you can easily switch to premiere and do the same thing. It’s up to preference for 99% of cases

Just jumped ship from Premiere Pro to Final Cut Pro and that was the best decision I've made! Premiere has a lot of unresolved issues, mostly with performance and stability. Paying monthly for constant fear of loosing hours of work, not being able to edit or render the video because of stupid errors is just unacceptable for me.

this was simulataneously painful and eye opening for me. I use premiere on a very basic level for a lot of my vids, and for some reason I never realized i for in and o for out, that will save me a ton of time.

I love the keyframing capabilities of premiere and also the marketplace for plugins for it. While finalcut does have a good marketplace for plugins as well, sometimes it can feel like having a glass ceiling. But that magnetic timeline really does make you focus more on the “flow” of the ideas.

[@FunFuerFelix]

It was very interesting as a long time Premiere user to get an insight into Final Cut Pro. And I have to admit, I think there are some aspects of Final Cut Pro that are better than Premiere Pro. I don't think Premiere on its own is necessarily better. But what makes Premiere so unique is how it interoperates with all the other programs of the Adobe Creative Cloud.

[@sorfrz7681]

its 30$ a month

[@ignajara]

You should try DaVinci resolve, youll never go back. I was an adobe user, mainly AE, Audition, Premiere and photoshop. I now only use Davinci (free version, its pretty much very complete) and photoshop, and my workflow is just so much faster.

[@weeklyfascination]

Glad to see that Hillier is a FCP user. So many famous editors talk about Adobe and FCP and they're not very kind to FCP users. Finally, I'm a BIG fan of the pricing model of FCP and how intuitive it is. I'm sticking with FCP for now.

[@itsgemxy]

In my experience, FCPX is leagues faster than Premiere. However, recently, I've switched over to using Davinci Resolve for most of our editing projects. There's a couple reasons we've done this, primarily because most of our projects can get very large, and FCPX starts to die on extremely large projects. Would love to see you do this same thing in Davinci Resolve. A word of warning: it's a complicated beast lol. Great video!

[@dapz]

Idk if anyone else said this, but Taran Van Hemert, the editor for linus tech tips, made a very interesting video about his workflow in premiere. It's a 4 hour long video but it shows the full process of him editing a video and how he made premiere work far more efficiently using third party programs (mainly AHK).

[@VinceVintage]

Would you say that if Adobe premiere needs all these plugins to be efficient…it isn’t really efficient?

[@marlonb1852]

@@VinceVintage I would say that Premiere Pro isn't as efficient as it could be, however Tarans Mods to Premiere are mainly for productivity Freaks. For instance, one of his ahk scripts automatically mouses over to the scale Text and holds the left Mousebutton until he releases the key and put the Cusor where it originally was. Or tasks which are always the same for the LTT editing Process. I recall that he has a script which automatically applies Gain, sets both the left and the Right Channels to mono and applies a basic Color Correction all within 2 Seconds. And that is all that he needs before doing the rough Cut of the A-Roll Theese are all mainly small automations of repeating tasks, which you would find in any other Program.

Most of the problems you had would be easily solved by personalizing your editing tools. Even the scale issue you had, there’s a way of changing that automatically on settings so it fits by itself (fit to scale). And that’s the beauty of Premiere. It’s really interchangeable and customizable

[@zackattack3569]

I think this statement is true, its not about the editor you use, or the equipment. its about what you find best to use, getting a new Camera will make it harder to film even if its better because you don't know how to work it as well as your old Camera. well same with video editors. if you like PPr don't switch just because final cut may be better, switch because you want to

[@devin_leary]

Adobe has the same business strategy as apple did in the 80s. Where they get college students hooked on their products so employers have to use them. They give colleges great discounts and it affects employment. In my opinion and personal experience, being different and not cookie-cutter helps tremendously. A branding expert went to my college professor asking if anyone knew final cut. I was the only one and worked on it. That project ended up in Forbes and Inc. so I strongly believe in using what you want but understand why you are using it. Do you like it and enjoy it or were you forced to learn it? Because if you enjoy the software more, you'll edit much better. Period.

[@gernil6216]

Helpful tip: About the 1080p video that doesn't fit to a 4k project, you can right-click the clip and click "set to frame size", not the "scale to frame size". So when you "set to frame size" the video size matches the 4k video size and the scale property (in effect controls) will remain at 100%. The "scale to frame size" however does the same time except it uses the scale property and doesn't maintain the original resolution.

But when editing something huge like a feature where you want all that instant manual control, I love Premiere. I’m going to probably do the reverse video of this someday.

[@lukaswinterr]

Premiere is more manual, which is better for some editoris because of the fine-tuning aspect of it. The automatic resolution fill and the magnetic timeline could be something that would slow down a different editor that would like it a certain way. For example, if you'd like to replace a clip that is in sync with the sound without having to adjust it a few times to be the exact length of the video that was there before, Premiere keeps the space of the previous video, which you can just fill up with the replacement video.

[@ZachWeiss]

The timing of this video was perfect. I am a final cut user, who was forced to learn premiere to complete a client project.

[@sgnoogle]

As an ex-Premiere and ex-FinalCut editor, I totally understand how you're feeling like. I'm now working with DaVinci, loving its structure and the Fusion Node system, but as a MacOS user I miss some FinalCut features: the magnetic timeline and the Trackpad integration are definitely 2 of the most important ones.

[@antking7619]

In DaVinci Resolve I believe there is a way to have a similar thing to the magnetic timeline.

[@taqiiskandar5083]

Yes, fusion node system is incredible! Usually people who are switched to resolve ignore the fusion page and focusing on the color page. While Fusion is pretty capable on creating motion graphic and vfx, and it is used in some of the hollywood film production. Although it is quite understandable that people ignore fusion because the fusion inside resolve (or fusion page), beside it is pretty intimidating for beginner, it is laggy. I usually use the standalone version for serious composition.

[@SuperOrangeMan23]

To slow a clip down, right click on it and choose "Speed and duration". A small window will pop up, where you can fine tune the speed % to what you want, and also choose things like if you want the audio pitch to go down with the speed, or if you want to use frame blend or optical flow (Cor clips you slow down beyond the amount of frames per second, so you don't have repeating frames)

[@drewmilwahkee1747]
