Final Cut Studio Vs Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.

CS5 is smoking fast compared to FCP.

there is too much time sitting around watching the progress bars on FCP.

I submit that you have a weak working methodology. I don't spend time watching render bars progress.

Organize your material, edit it in a native format *

Good luck.

This is the standard line that the pros use to say that their their dedicated carefully planned workflow shows superior intelligence to the unwashed masses.

Just found this thread, it looks like it got a little off topic, but i was wandering the same question in terms of APP vs Final cut. A few months ago i would of gone with final cut every time, but now that you can only get the rediculous new version that is final cut X, i feel that apple may have done Adobe a massive favour... am i right in thinking this? Obviously i need try both out, and thankfully adobe have a trial on their website, so i will. But does anyone have any opinions now that we know exactly what final cut x has to offer.

A little side note, a lot of people are saying about the price, Personally, i get student rates at Adobe, so their production suite is £339ish, whereas the 3 software options from apple add up to about £280. So not much difference in price, but there are programs, most notable a dvd authoring program, missing from the current final cut set up. And as far as i'm aware, despite a bit effort from apple to close the gap, after effects still outstrips motion with ease.... so i guess it all comes down to the meat of the suites, the actual editing software. Thoughts?

Hi friends i'ven reading your coments and my conclusions are CS5 is faster and has the same features and quality than FCP, i like to ask to Studio X if you know more FCP and you are a pro why? with facts because if i have to buy or say to a friend or client go and use one or another with real facts.

Example FCP has better color calibration, better final quality, more features or so.

Another curious thing is that jhon 1 in 2 said is better AVCHD compatibility or handle these are to consistent points that i can undertand as a normal person.

I can understand a point if you can say me why FCP is better with examples because i know much of hardware but a little of this software, i can give a big point to a software tha can use mi machine at full capacity because if i spend 10K$ in a computer i'd like a blazing fast one, if not is better to spend only 2.5K$ and wait the same amount of time for the same results.

Sorry for my english i'm not from USA so my vocabulary is short.

Well friend reading what you post it's interesting what you said, so i can conclude that FCP is loosing against Premiere in new features, like Authoring nad maybe more is good to know that too, so we can do the job with both programs but Final Cut needs to close a gap with adobe that is a big point.

I'm asking to you because if i have to say to a person, "hey use that program is better than the one that you have now" is better to know pros and cons, i like PC mora than Mac, both can do almost all the same things in a different ways so if you like one or another is up to you how make the job done.

But for me in this forun Adobe is the clear winner in performance and compatibility, and no one say nothing about quality, features and reliability and in these programs are solid points to make a final decision.
