(More customer reviews)Adobe Premiere Pro is as sophisticated and advanced software package as any other Adobe project, designed for professional and "prosumer"-level users. You have to go through a certain learning curve, invest hours in learning, but once you are through, you will be fully rewarded by the flexibility of the program and its nearly endless possibilities. A good way to learn is to buy Adobe's book "Premiere Pro classroom in a book", which is essentially a sequence of hands-on lessons which walk you through different features of the program using an extensive set of tutorial movies which come on a disk enclosed with the book.
I've been using this program for a couple of months, and had very positive experience. The program is very stable, has a logical and convenient interface, can render edits in real time, and allows to make as sophisticated edits as one can imagine. In fact, I cannot think about a single feature which is not included in Premiere. One can capture videos from a DV camcorder from Premiere, edit them in any way, add transitions, analyze the color balance of the movie, correct contrast, brightness, color balance, mix or record sound (5.1 surround can be edited, but a plugin to encode it in dolby digital format is included as a demo version only, one has to buy a full version for extra money; with regular stereo sound there are no problems), and export the edited footage in a variety of formats for DVD or internet. There is an extensive selection of audio and video filters and plugins, a title generator, and a means to generate effects such as split screen, moving logos, etc.
Adobe has a 30-day trial version of Premiere on its web site. The difference between the full and the trial version is that the trial version does not include Media Encoder (i.e., the edited file can be saved only as AVI or exported back to a DV tape) and, I think, has some limitations in audio editing. I highly recommend everyone shopping for a video editor to download the trial version, get a good book on Premiere, and make an educated decision on how good this program is.
I also tried several other products, such as Sony Vegas and Ulead Video Studio. Vegas, in my opinion, has less capabilities (e.g., does not support multiple/embedded timelines (sequences)), has somewhat counterintuitive interface (which for instance applies to what happens when you left-click or right-click somewhere in the timeline - although at first glance its user interface appears to be more friendly), and is much slower on the rendering/encoding stage. Ulead is infamous for its instability (see Amazon reviews); in my case, it crashed 15 seconds after I started the program, after which I decided that I better try something else. In contrast, Premiere has been very stable and did not crash a single time on me.
In my opinion, it is the best product on the consumer market in the price range under a thousand dollars, and I can highly recommend it to those who look for a high-end video editor with a wide range of capabilities. (Of course, a very basic editing can be done even with Windows Movie Maker, which comes free with Windows XP).
Note that Adobe Video Collection, which includes Premiere, Encore, Audition, and After Effects, is a full video editing suite which offers much more for almost the same money than the Premiere alone.
Premiere Pro is available only for Windows, Mac is no longer supported.
