Adobe brings Premiere back to the Mac

Next question down says this:

When you upgrade your hardware to an Intel-based Mac, you will be able to run Adobe Premiere Pro, Encore and Soundbooth natively.

I think the Bootcamp thing is just referencing people who want to run Premiere Pro on a PowerPC platform. It would be stupid of Adobe to do a press release about how you can run Premiere on Boot Camp, everyone already knows that.

I'm looking forward to picking up the Production Suite, it'll save me money on all the new apps plus the Premiere/After Effects integration is worth it.

The thing is Bootcamp doens't run on PPC Mac's so its again a mystery. I think its just a bad typo thats all lol.

As I read Adobe's website, they are touting the fact that Mac users can now buy the production suite with Mac versions of the products already available on the Mac and PC versions of the other apps, including Premiere. Before you could only buy the video production suite with all PC apps. Hardly an earth-shattering development, and unlikely to be of much interest to Mac video editors.
 
I'd give it a try, trust me...

Hey all, I have been using Premiere since the horrible 6.5 version. The first pro version was better. I am now using Pro 2.0 and let me tell you, it is awesome. Granted they have bit off of final cut a bit, but it is very intuitive and the integration is amazing. If you are a FCP user who has only tried Premiere 6.5 back in the day before you switched to FCP, do yourself a favor and give the new Premiere on the Mac when it comes out a shot. A friend of mine was using Pro 2.0 for a while and got a mac 6 months ago....he has used FCP for that time and says he sees no advantage of it over Premiere and some things are not nearly as good. I am glad its coming to Mac...that was the only reason I wasn't getting a Mac, because I loved my PP2.0 and tried FCP and didnt dig it. Well this has gotten me to get a mac now. Props to Adobe and Apple!
 
I disagree with the cost of Apple hardware. I moved to FCP at first because I couldn't afford to buy a system that AVID Xpress HD would consider a "approved" PC system. Avid would not give me support unless I bought a particular system they recommended, minimum $4500 for a dual processor. I had been with Avid since 1994 before that. And Avid Xpress "HD" at the time did not run on Apple. So, I sprung $1000 for FCP studio and $1500 for a G5 dual 2.5 used, and I was editing withing 24 hours, no headaches, for $5000 less than Avid suite on their approved system. I have several of those G5 systems now, and all of them cost less than one "approved" Avid PC. :thumbup: I can't wait to get the quad Xeon soon, so I can stuff 4 HDD's in there. :) btw this isn't Apple vs. PC, since I have 4 PC's that run other software like Photoshop, mail, office, servers, etc. I just use whatever works best, and Apple+FCP work well. Looking at the new features of Adobe Premiere 2, it looks like they really have been working hard to win back some of their customers. Making it available on the Mac is a big plus.
