Re: Premiere Pro CS 6.0: First Impressions

Thank you David, enjoyed your article.

In fact it inspired me to export my current FCP edit as an XML and fire up PP5.5 to see if I was missing something.

All great until I tried to play the sequence - PP crashes whilst 'rendering required files', doesn't even say goodbye, just gone - and interestingly 'can't submit report to Apple at this time, please try later'

Have used PP5 and 5.5 intermittently over the past year on client's insistence and on various systems (top spec systems running Lion to 2 and 3 year old set-ups) and have always had issues.
These are mainly crashing, but also slow/laggy playhead - I want to see a clip instantly when I park the playhead - any lag becomes very tedious when working at speed.

Re: Export times
I have ported complex edits back to FCP for export due to horrendous export times.

Really want PP to work, would settle for less bells and whistles and a rock solid program.

Maybe PP6 is more solid - I will find out very soon, but until then it's still FCP7 for me.
