Premiere Pro is cool so far.

Re: Premiere Pro is cool so far.

Hey flintstone, it might be the card. I had bought the RT2500(think thats the number) and it was a nightmare. I emailed back and forth with no real solutions. Then I did searches all over the place for forums and found that everyone was having problems with matroxs stuff and that I basically bought a POS. So now it sits in its box waiting for the great ebay in the sky.
 
Re: Premiere Pro is cool so far.

It's too bad though, there are no perfect solutions out there. I've tried Vegas, but just can't get used to the UI and it's workflow (I must be too Premiere minded). I got the Blade demo key code yesterday, so I hope I'll be able to tackle this new beast.

I don't know if it me growing old too fast, but I find myself a little change adverse these days. I like Premiere (or rather I am used to Premiere), I've also tried Premiere Pro, which is not too different from 6.5, when compared to Blade and Vegas that is. Anyway, I find myself wishing that Premiere Pro could support 24p, but the reality of the situation is they don't. So I have to take a deep long breath, and calmly approach my next NLE with a fresh new perspective, all the while trying to break old habits.

But one thing is for sure... NO MORE MATROX CARDS, or any other "hardware accelerators" for me! I've had it, they caused me too much grief... and the worst part is, I put up with it for so long.
 
Re: Premiere Pro is cool so far.

I too have tried Vegas and Blade, and just found myself getting slowed down by the UI. I have been working with premiere 6x and now Premiere Pro for a while now, and have come to rely on dvfilm maker to convert my footage to true 24p for edit in Premiere pro. It works great, and I get to use the UI that I have grown to depend upon. I guess it would be nice to have native DVX24pA support, but it really isn't a big priority. Besides, after I convert my files to true 24P, the file size is smaller :) Thats me, always looking on the bright side.

Re: Premiere Pro is cool so far.

I know what you mean about the new interfaces thing. When Softimage went to XSI i totally bailed and went back to Lightwave. I hated the thought that I just learned that dang program in depth and then they go and change it on me. Same thing with Alias, they went and changed it to Power animator and then Maya which screwed me up too. Im glad Lightwave has been sticking to thier interface since the release of the first stand-alone version which was 4.0 Now you can change the interface if you want and add or delete tabs and sub-tabs. The software company I work for is revamping thier interface (a good thing in this case) and I get to be part of the interface design. We had our first meeting about it on monday and they already added some of the ideas I mocked up in photoshop.

I had no end of problems with adobe, i mean i cant even intstall their APPro although AE works okish, loading time is way too slow even with amd xp 2000+
524ddr ram, so i wonder if FCP is a solid stable program?

Re: Premiere Pro is cool so far.

You are doing something wrong. Adobe Premiere Pro is extremely stable on both of my P4 1.7GHz 256RAM machines.
