Re: One year later...

[Dennis Radeke] "I think many people miss what I consider to be the main point - namely the workflow of Production Premium in its entirety. In this case, Premiere Pro is the 'hub' application - where things like After Effects, Photoshop and others feed into the main organizational, story-telling tool."

I get the argument for integrated tools, and I'm sure for some types of projects (VFX-heavy music videos or commercials that have the edit, composting, graphics, etc. all done under one roof, for instance) it's extremely useful. But my reaction is the same as it is to Smoke's integrated toolset. This sort of thing seems like it's hugely important to a couple of market segments, and not really all that useful to others. For instance the kind of integration you're describing wouldn't do us much good with our indie feature projects -- editors in our world choose software they enjoy using (because they're going to be cutting with it for months) with effectively no regard for workflow considerations, VFX and graphics are usually done by outside facilities, and everything is going to end up getting fed into some color grading system that isn't part of Adobe's ecosystem in the end anyway.
