Adobe Premiere 6.5 Upgrade Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've just started using 6.5 after upgrading from 6.0. The new title designer and the feature to create MPEG2/DVDs work very well. I'm quite pleased with them. The real problem is that Adobe has dropped support for TitleDeko, which I've used quite a bit, and for Real Player and QuickTime. The TitleDeko lack of support means that projects created with 6.0 using TitleDeko won't work with 6.5 unless you re-create the titles...a major hassle for no apparent reason. It would have been nice if the new version supported using title created with the old version. Also, it is no longer possible to create video for the Web using RealPlayer and QuickTime...funny how this didn't make the sales brochure. You're on your own to buy products that support RealPlayer and QuickTime with 6.5, a significant unplanned expense.
I'm just not that impressed with Adobe's lack of communicating that features have been dropped and incompatibilities created.
The software they've included to make DVDs seems to work well, although I found the interface a bit confusing initially.
I had a problem with one video being converted to MPEG2/DVD with a couple of seconds at the end being deleted. I don't know which software caused it, I suspect Premiere, and it doesn't happen all the time.
