Hello,
I switched from Sony Vegas Pro 13 to Premiere CC due to the high chance of Sony Vegas being discontinued. I have worked with Premiere years ago and it was very buggy and cumbersome. These were enough reasons to use Sony Vegas which has served us quite well the latest years. It's a pity Sony has decided to no longer release new versions of it.
First try of Premiere and here are my thoughts:
Its interface has improved a lot.
Great deal of supported codecs.
Great import/export formats (OMF, AAF export from Vegas does not work at all, useless function)
But what annoys me the most is its timeline navigation slowness. Moving, trimming and playing clips on the timeline is slow, it has a delay compared to the movements I make with the mouse. Also the play/stop (or JKL) is not responsive like it is with Vegas (same system).
Also, when working with highly commpressed codecs like Sony FS700's AVCHD and gopro's H264 I do have to render to play them smoothly (yellow bar vs green bar). I renders quickly (thanks to CUDA) but in Vegas they play in a much more responsive way without any need to render anything.
Compared to Sony Vegas, Premiere is slow and sluggish. Maybe you are used to it but to me is a PITA. And it is not a problem of an underpowered computer or wrong configuration. It's a core problem that Premiere had 5-6 years ago and still has.
I'm not new to NLEs, I've worked with Avid, Premiere, FCP, FCPX and Vegas for years and every system has its pros and cons. I know that one of the greatest errors is trying to switch from one NLE to another NLE and try to emulate the functions or the workflow insted of adapting to the new one.
Well, I just needed to express my thoughtsa about this and I would be very interested in reading your thoughts as well.
Have a nice day.
