Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro is used by my organization as part of video production. We utilize the entire Adobe suite, and Premiere Pro gets the most used due to its intrinsic nature as the most important part of post-production on video projects. From feature-length films to 6-minute web videos, Premiere Pro is our go-to software.
Compatibility is always crucial, and the way Adobe has all its software integrated makes transitioning between editing programs seamless. Additionally, with the rented access, editors separated geographically can work on the same project while not both having to purchase the entire program, saving tons of money.

- Seamless integration between Premiere Pro and the other Adobe programs. You can swoop in with Adobe Photoshop to fiddle with some stills or backgrounds or Adobe After Effects can add special effects, and everything communicates flawlessly.
- It's stable, more so than many video editing software I've used in the past. Many times I would edit for hours, only for the system to crash and lose the last hour of work. But with Adobe Premiere Pro, between the auto-save feature and general stability, losing work is no longer an issue.
- Cross-system compatibility. I can edit in Premiere Pro on a Mac, email the edit file to my friend who has a PC, and he can open it up and continue the work. You can't do that with Apple's Final Cut Pro, so Adobe Premiere Pro is the far superior option for a workplace with multiple types of computers.
- I'd like to see it have better YouTube integration. Currently, it can export a video that's optimized for YouTube, but perhaps a further integration would be nice. Like being able to export from Premiere Pro and upload to YouTube in one action, removing a step.
- Being able to rearrange the windows more easily would be nice. Currently, they can move around, but after a certain degree, you start fighting against the pre-existing templates. It eats up time trying to get it to look the way you want it to. With the reality of many workplaces having multiple monitors, being able to grab a portion of the interface and throw it onto another screen without it fighting you would be nice.
- Video editing software used to cost hundreds of dollars, and then each new version was another expense. Adobe allows you to rent the software by the month, making it extremely economically sound and ensures you always have the most recent version.
- Continuing on the above point, sometimes video production is a gig "feast or famine" economy. Being able to rent the software when you need it and then discontinue when you don't is really helpful. It saves money and allows you to only have the software you need - when you need it.
- Adobe Premiere Pro has very powerful editing capabilities but is user-friendly and makes videos look great. I feel my products put out there look better thanks to the options at my disposal with Premiere Pro.
I like Adobe Premiere Pro better because of the option to use a Mac or a PC. I grew up using a PC, so even when I have a Mac at my disposal I like the option to swap whenever I feel like it. Plus, to my knowledge, you cannot rent Final Cut Pro, making it the more expensive option.
