I like the interface and features way more than iMovie.
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
The Photos application that is built into Microsoft Windows has a rudimentary video editor in it. While this might be good for making slideshows to show at a class reunion or family get together, it is hugely lacking if you are trying to create professional projects that will …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro has all the tools you are looking for. It is easy to find things, you can save unfinished projects in a location. Other applications do not have all the available transitions, tools similar to Adobe Premiere Pro. Blender has for example a complex interface …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
iMovie is great for video editing unless you want to make money in video production. If you've got the income and a lot of reasons to learn editing techniques, I recommend learning Premiere Pro before touching iMovie.
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
DaVinci Resolve works nicely (though some things have a different flow compared to Adobe Premiere Pro). More importantly though, whenever I ran into a limitation with DaVinci Resolve, I can always find a solution with Adobe Premiere Pro.
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro works great on both Mac OS and Windows OS. Avid not so much.
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
We had looked at Camtasia due to an industry referral and although it offers a much more simplistic interface and took less time to learn, it wasn't able to compete with some of the upscale Adobe options. That being said, we do use it for small projects that focus more on …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro integrates relatively well with the rest of the Creative Cloud suite. The challenges come down to individual workflows. Each product has its own separate hotkeys and workflows that may make sense individually, but collectively they're a hassle to keep …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
We actually took time in 2020 to test out Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve to see if they would be better suited for our department but ended up sticking with Premiere. Each has [its] strong suits, but the non-linear editing style of Resolve was too complicated to grasp when …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
I have used APP for so long, it was hard to try other editing applications. Adobe stands on its own. FCPX normally has to try to live up to APP.
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Not even close. iMovie is a good starter set, Adobe Premiere Pro is the real deal. iMovie is a great entry point for you to learn the basics, but when you are ready to take your editing to the next level, Adobe Premiere Pro is the way to go.
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Compared to other editing software, it's a cleaner layout, faster render, and much more easy to learn some of the more complex features.
Similar platforms take too long to set up and give commands in one step as opposed to 3 or 4 steps in some software, which saves time.
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Camtasia is a lower end video editing software. There is limited features and not any integrations with other apps. I think Camtasia is good for super simple video edits. But Adobe Premiere Pro is going to give you all the latest video editing tricks and tools to produce …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
DaVinci Resolve is a powerful editing and color-grading application, and the base version is free. However, I've found that with the Lumetri Color panel in Premiere, I really have no need for Resolve as it meets all of my needs. Additionally, I've found Resolve to be lacking in …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro is so much better than iMovie, but iMove is great for people who are just starting out and want a slimmed-down version of Adobe Premiere Pro. Adobe Premiere Pro does have a learning curve and is not as easy to pick up and learn in comparison to iMovie.
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
I had no problems with Final Cut. It was also easy to use and very powerful. However, Adobe Premiere Pro is part of the Adobe ecosystem, so it just makes sense to use it instead of Final Cut Pro. Of course, some people may prefer to pay a one-time fee of $300 with Final Cut vs …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
We used Final Cut for a while before switching to Premiere. Overall we found Premiere to be a better and more professional video editor with a number of great and easy to use features. Couple that with the fact that it's a part of the Creative Suite and compatible with all the …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Each editor has its pros and cons. I tend to not like node-based editing, so the sliders, faders, and effects that I feel comfortable with in Photoshop and other similar programs are reflected in PPs UI. The more recently added hardware acceleration makes editing RAW 4K footage …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Final Cut Pro X was better at handling footage playback. Red footage playback was instantaneous. But I couldn't make heads or tails of the layout. It was so radically different and I didn't have time to relearn how to use editing software. Premiere provides fairly smooth …
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Spark is better for the average user who does not have video editing experience or even for student use. Premiere Pro is definitely more of a professional software.
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
We selected Adobe Premiere Pro not only because it was included with our Suite but because it covered all bases from beginners to advanced users. As times have gone on our users were looking for a feature rich software to be able to edit videos and Premiere fit the bill.
Chose Adobe Premiere Pro
Premiere has the capability to edit audio, video, and graphics. While we still use Adobe After Effects for more complicated motion graphics and animation, Premiere is where we do most of our work and final exports.

I have actually recommended Adobe Premiere Pro to many people looking to get into the editing field. It is perfect for any type of video creation. It would not be very useful for someone who isn't serious about video editing and wants to just use something to cut out the beginning or ends of clips. It's too advanced for that and [maybe] confusing for someone not educated in the field.

Pros
Adobe
  • Premiere is able to import video in almost any format and has a number of excellent export formats and styles.
  • Premiere has a great interface that once learned feels very intuitive.
  • Premiere aligns easily with the other suite of Adobe software allowing for easy integration of graphics and audio.

Cons
Adobe
  • Export times: I do a massive amount of exports with intensive graphics. They often need to be done quickly. If export times could be reduced by 90%, my life would improve drastically.
  • Importing errors: Certain video formats are not compatible, such as specific types of MP4s and MKV files. Greater flexibility would be wonderful.
  • End the subscription model. I'd gladly pay one flat fee once and be done with it.

Adobe Premiere Pro saves time and cost and it does a great job. When you see the output you know that you have made the right investment in the right application. Adobe does not require a lot of support to work good. There are thousands of videos in case you are looking for a particular thing to do during your work on your videos therefore it is well supported.

Adobe Premiere Pro can be VERY overwhelming at first (especially if you are new to video editing).

It is a professional team that provides customer service at any time. I think that the team does not rest until they find a solution to your problem. I think this makes this company great because when a company offers a good service, and they treat you well, the customer always returns satisfied.

DaVinci Resolve is a powerful editing and color-grading application, and the base version is free. However, I've found that with the Lumetri Color panel in Premiere, I really have no need for Resolve as it meets all of my needs. Additionally, I've found Resolve to be lacking in support for the broad range of file types that Premiere handles gracefully.

Return on Investment
Adobe
  • Speed of workflow has increased- specially when coupled with keyboard shortcuts
  • Jobs have had a faster turnover rate which makes clients happy.
  • I have two Adobe accounts, one for work and one for personal use. Both of these accounts are paying for themselves through the work I can provide with the use of Premiere.
