    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.

    It's excellent at taking a script and turning it into a video, which is huge for me. The output looks professional - maybe not as polished as you'd get from a human expert but much quicker and cheaper. Supposedly it does really well at avatars/talking heads too, but I don't really need it for that. The branching and interactive videos sound really exciting, but unfortunately without making them wcag accessible, I wouldn't really be able to implement them

    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.

    • lack of realistic AI (vs what Synthesia offers). NEO 2 is the answer BUT limited
    • lack of mods (like animations for the texts / images)
    • Better voice mods too, too many robotic voices especially in different language than English. Need more adjustment we can do.

    There is not better program for your needs than Adobe Premiere Pro. It doesn't matter if it can be hard to learn because this product is the top of the line and you will not find a better video editing program. This is what the professionals use. It is worth the learning curve.

    Usability
    Adobe
    Premiere Pro is a very powerful tool, but it's not intuitive - it's virtually impossible to use without some kind of training or instruction. That being said, once you've learned how to use the product so that you can take advantage of its various video editing and creation options, it's an incredible program in terms of features and tools.

    Compared to Synthesia, things don't "just work" the way you expect them to. Don't get me wrong, it feels like a good v1 product. But there are a lot of tiny performance and usability niggles that waste my time to find workarounds for

    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.

    The biggest help Colossyan has had is being able to import PowerPoint presentations that can quickly be converted into videos. That has been a huge time saver for when there are quick deadlines for videos that need to be sent out to employees. It has saved us hours of work every day, which has allowed us to focus on other projects.

    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.
