Premiere Pro Back to Mac
Thursday, January 4, 2007 at 11:48AM Adobe Production Studio To Be Available for Both Mac and Windows
Yay!
I've been a Final Cut user since its first release, and it's great. But when I got my MacBook Pro I decided to quit cold turkey and learn Premiere Pro, for the simple reason that its integration with After Effects stands to create some kind of Voltron-like super robot of editing and effects capability. I haven't been sorry—and now I'll be able to enjoy the Production Studio goodness Macside.
I'm filing this under The Guide because a seamless path between NLE and AE is a big part of the workflow. FCP users will either require Automatic Duck or some serious time on their hands (I've done both myself).
Way to go Adobe. Welcome back where you belong Premiere!

First off, high five on the Voltron ref.
I started on, Premier (when it was decidedly less than pro) but for the money, it was the only game in town.
I switched to final cut for my side projects, but had to work in premier at the local company I did commercials for. and hated it...but Premiere upgraded to Pro and, despite some 1.0 warts, I liked it. It was a lot closer to final cut.
I don't know if I could switch back. I guess we'll have to see what the new version brings. I also work in a final cut office as "the guy who uses final cut mostly, but is the AE guy."
It's odd that adobe purchased macromedia recently...and apple purchased final cut from them. interesting how history could have been a bit different there.
Hey Stu,
New reader of the blog. Great site - you are doing an amazing job. Wanted to know why you prefer Mac to Windows machines - I hear mentions of Fusion, which I thought was Windows only and also was under the impression that PPro and AE didn't run natively in Macs. I'm in the process of upgrading my system to HD (Old DPS Quattras user here, so I 1)already have v4 of Fusion Full and 2)am spoiled with real-realtime) and wanted to see why you prefer Mac. I agree completely that Adobe is becoming more focused and "suite". I'd love to hear your take on W vs M. Thanks - and again, great site.
