Re: So who is the best candidate?

[Adam Claude Jones] "I'm sure if I start using premiere and start cutting weddings in lower formats or corporate interviews from AVCD, XDCAM and DSLRs and I get a workflow question I will have a million help replies. I' sure if I come with a question of how to do a title sequence in AE and import into premiere I will be a quick reply.
But will I be able to get help when I come with higher end questions? +

How many premiere users here use it for long form work?

How many premiere users here cut DPX sequences? What are the premiere needs for a DPX post workflow? Any caveats?"

Hi Adam,

You're really operating from old information. With the 64 bit CS5+, the Mercury Playback Engine, and RT CUDA effects Premiere began have sheer playback power and long form capability. I use it for cutting complex hour documentaries 500+ events on 10 tracks of video and 10 tracks of audio with no slowdown.

The only reasons it's failed to move into a lot of high end post facilities are inertia, ignorance of it's new capabilities, and a shortage of a complete third party ecosystem, that have had the time to develop around Avid and the 'late' FCP, that make it unsuitable for some uses. The last has been slow to change, however, but will probably accelerate greatly as people start moving from kicking its tires to taking it out for a test drive.
