What do you like best about Adobe Premiere Pro?

Ive been using Premiere since 1999, a LOT has changed since then. The best pert of the newer software is the ability to accept just about any codec out there on the market. Year ago you could only import avi and a few other media types. Also, I love the ability to take up to four camera sources and sync them together. it creates one single video stream in which you can choose which camera to show with your keyboard or mouse click. It's great for events, weddings, taping shows and the like too. It can also render and do 4K video which is handy, I used the 4K feature some when doing productions and placing them on YouTube. (At the time YouTube would support 4K video). The transitions have greatly improved and they also allow you the ability to import your own transitions if you know how to do that. Also, I love the waveform and vector scope, for those of use that have worked in the broadcasting business, you understand the importance of having these tools and now they are built-in there is no need for hardware and having to connect it to a PC.

What do you dislike about Adobe Premiere Pro?

Its a memory hog, if you're going to do 4K video editing, you had better have 4 core or more with 16GB of RAM min. The software isn't easy to learn, often times people get hung up in trying to figure out everything as it's feature rich, almost as much as it's brother counterpart, Photoshop.

Recommendations to others considering Adobe Premiere Pro:

If you're new use the cheaper and easier to use Elements before you dive into Premiere Pro CC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Premiere Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Doing business videos on campus and being able to create content for students that might want to attend the college here. Premiere is also a great way to do post productions if you don't have a switcher of the ability to stream it live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe Creative Cloud?

Adobe CC is helpful for designers like me who have multiple niches in terms of media. It consists of tools I need for my everyday tasks for my different clients. You don't need to create an account for each tool, unlike other software limited to one function, because one account can be used across different platforms under Adobe CC, which is a time-saver for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Creative Cloud?

Generative AI is not yet polished, especially when I use Photoshop. Additionally, there are no proper prompt guidelines on how to use it, so generating images inside Photoshop is kind of hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Creative Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me (thanks to AI) when there's a specific ratio or size required for creating an asset and the provided image cannot fill the entire space, leaving blank areas. But generative AI fills in the blank spaces, saving me a lot of time by eliminating the need to edit those areas manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe Premiere Pro?

- Quality of the product delivery

- Being able to get transcript of a video and create the captions within your production period without having to go to another tool

- Large variety of exporting type of files and being able to play with the quality to adjust the size needed of the file without loosing quality

- How well it links the audio editions with Audition Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Premiere Pro?

- I feel like the integration with After Effects could be better

- I wish we could have a way to compress renders for social media size requirements wich usually goes from 10 MB to 50MB but when you create a video with lots of effects and in high quality and also it's long it's hard to get to the 50 MB for example that is a constant requirement for me and I get videos of 20 min ish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Premiere Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having a professional tool to deliver the end product for video editing where you have to mix sound effects, music, different clips, motion graphics all in one timeline! that's great and how well it all get's rendered so while you're working you can adjust every part as much as you need.

What do you like best about Adobe Premiere Pro?

There are so many features that I like about this particular video editing software. But one of the best thing is we can easily import and edit layers files from Photoshop and vectors from illustrator. Not only photoshop and illustrator but also with other Adobe tools. Currently, the AI has changed the game, it automatically reframes videos according to the platforms. And the speech to text feature also helpful in generating captions with high accuracy and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Premiere Pro?

One of the major downsides is its performance. It lags and crashes sometimes maybe because of compatibility issues making the editing process more stressful. Some of its subscription-based features are quite expensive which is the major downturn for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Premiere Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mostly for the long form of promotional videos and reels for social media and YouTube. It made the video production process easier whether it was importing or organizing and most importantly the color grading. Which was required most when you shoot for clothing brands. So when the video is out the color of the garment looks as it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe Premiere Pro?

Having used Premiere for 15 plus years I 'll admit there was a few times I thought I moving over to Davinci. But the last few years I feel like Adobe have really dialled in the product. I love some of the AI features they have implemented and use some of them on a daily basis (captioning, scene detect, vocal enhancer). I also feel like Adobe are actually taking user's feedback on board and implementing those changes into the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Premiere Pro?

That you can only use it on two computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Premiere Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

All my video editing needs. All the team use it for all our video editing projects and it implements with all the other apps like After Effects and Photoshop so well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe Creative Cloud?

Number one the amount of apps you get to use. Next is being able to save everything to the cloud. That saved so much space on my laptop allow everything to move as fast as the day I bought it. The versatility is why I will be keeping my subscription Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Creative Cloud?

The least I would say is being able to find customer support. If you have a problem, its tough finding support, but after you do get a hold of them. They do get your squared away. It's Easy to integrate into your current work load and easy to use though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Creative Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

They integrated A.I. allowing me to work more efficiently and effectively throughout the day. Without A.I. I was fast and had a good turn around time on certain projects, but now. I'm an all out beast when it comes to turn around time. Pushing some projects out in less than 24 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe Premiere Pro?

I learned video edition with Adobe Premiere Pro so of course I selected it as my main video editor, especially as I am using the whole Adobe Creative Suite. I use it every two weeks for content creation, especially for high-end quality for YouTube. I have requested not support with the tool but with payments, and the customer support was really good. Again, I was taught to use the tool so I was already familiar with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Premiere Pro?

If I am honest, as video channels are evoliving, and TikTok format is leading the competition and they also provide a video edition tool: Canva that has an amazing UX/UI, I think it'll be great to keep Adobe Premiere relevant by creating an option like CapCut. So I can say I "dislike" not being very mobile friendly as Adobe Rush is not enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Premiere Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

A quality video editor with professional fucntionalities that can help to work on whatever video from personal to professional, and the fact it can connect with Photoshop and Audition simplifies work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe Premiere Pro?

The ease of use, communication with the Adobe suite, and the sheer breadth of capability from simple cutting to motion graphics. From presets to animating key frames or adding effects and color grading - it has it all. I rarely need another program. I even do graphic design in it from time to time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Premiere Pro?

Not being able to purchase the program outright, individually is concerning. Subscriptions are expensive. There is a pretty big learning curve, and it's not always intuitive to learn something new. Luckily, there's lots of guides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Premiere Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

As someone who has worked in video production a number of years, I have used it for scaled narrative productions, documentaries, commercials, motion graphics, promotional corporate videos, all the way to YouTube video editing, creation of thumbnails and graphics, plus editing/compressing OTT level commercials from clients. Any video need I've ever had, I've been able to now solve with Premiere. Simply put, it's the most versatile Adobe program and I rarely need the others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe Premiere Pro?

I use Adobe Premiere Pro for approximately five years now, and I love how useful and straightforward it is. I also work with other programs, and Premiere Pro is my favorite because I can edit a lot in one day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Premiere Pro?

I don't like that sometimes it crashes and I can not find what I did. It can be very frustrating because all your work can be gone in seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adobe Premiere Pro:

If you want to find cheap and good editing program Adobe Premiere Pro is the one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adobe Premiere Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adobe Premiere Pro solves the problem of having a robust, all-in-one video editing tool that lets me easily organize, trim, and add effects to my projects, which means I can create high-quality videos efficiently and without the hassle of switching between different programs. It integrates well with other Adobe apps, making my workflow smoother and more connected, so I can work on my projects from start to finish in one place. While I really prefer it over any other software because of these benefits, I do get a bit frustrated when it crashes frequently lately, as that interrupts my editing process and can slow me down.

What do you like best about Adobe Premiere Pro?

Premiere is constantly updated with great new features, and they are starting to lean into some very exciting AI. I've always found the program to be very stable on my custom-built computer.
