Adobe Premiere Pro vs. Pinnacle Studio

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 is easy to use with very little explanation. It seems well suited for a creative individual looking to make a professional video.

• 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.

• Allows for quick and easy "commercials" for our announcements..
• Used to create pre and post worship service videos to help people begin and end worship.
• Used to create special videos for special music.

• 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.

• Importing files is easy but sometimes difficult to locate.
• This might be user error but making folders within the imported files would be nice to have.
• I don't use special effects that often but sometimes they are difficult to find again.

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 could use slight improvements. But overall a wonderful product.

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.

I've only had to call one time in several years and they were supportive and helpful.

Utilizing one of the many books available on Adobe Premiere Pro, each video editor can learn at their own pace.

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.

I have not used other products like Pinnacle Studio.

• 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.

• I believe using Pinnacle Studio and what I produced from it aided in doubling our worship attendance.
• No negative impacts.
