But Premiere has Waveform displays, so it must be on par with "the other guys" ;)

 

DISCLAIMER: Waveform support only available through Boot Camp.

 

So, as far as Windows video editing packages go, you have Avid, Avid (Pinnacle) and Adobe.

 

I still use liquid.blue for my editing, and I refuse to accept that it is now an Avid app, just as I refused to accept it as a Pinnacle app... I will always think of it as FAST/multimedia liquid.blue because despite all the changes since being sold, twice, it still is the best suite on the market.

 

Hard to compete with systems that use Trimedia's InTime Video Processing Boards. HD Video Conversion, Rendering & Compositing up to 16 layers in real time on a Dual 1GHz system.

 

Sadly, Windows only, but it runs FLAWLESSLY under 2000, meaning no bloat-ware (well, by today's standards) and actual stability.

or, you could suck it up and just get used to avid's. You'll notice us avid users stand out above the crowd, we're the ones here in hollywood making great money editing creations for the largest of audiences. ;) But on a nicer note, I've been there and know that pain, sadly, but out here they're all anyone uses on any sitcom, movie, animation, etc, after you've been thrown in front of a few $40,000 avid systems a few times, ya come around. :)

Just watched the video clip at the adobe site. WOW. I also noticed the nice Macs that they were all running as well. I have read that CS3 is supported for Intel Macs, unlike CS2 where it had to run in Rosetta. If I can get this for my Hackintosh, and run at a good speed, unlike CS2, I think I can seriously consider reformatting my existing Window drives and say goodbye to Bill Gates.

som3on3, Yes, I have the PS CS3 beta on my hackintosh and it flies on my machine. I really liked the rest of the suite that they showed. Except for a few games, have no need of Redmond. I wanted to switch over sooner to OSX86 full time but CS2 was holding me back

I agree...I definetly found using CS3 in OS X far better than my normal experience in XP. That, coupled with the fact my tablet works far smoother in OS X (and handwriting support), makes it an obvious choice for most of the work I end up doing.

 

Speaking from personal experience, I do prefer using Premiere over FinalCut, and it's nice to see it's finally getting a Mac counterpart (universally speaking). Waiting for it to be put up on Adobe Labs as we speak...

 

EDIT: Interesting...apparently Adobe's commited to Blu-Ray support with the new version of premiere. No sign of HD-DVD
