Best analysis about Premiere Pro from a new user
To everybody who uses PP and thinking about using it:
(this is an objective analysis not with a bias, a clear view on what to expect) I never write comments about any product but now I wanted to do my best and spend time and think hard about what and how to write
I use PP since 2 months on a 24/7 basis. Long days.
But you would expect that working with a professional product would be good and easy.
So editing (I mostly do cut and paste and a bit of colour correction and a bit of green key, but no difficult stuff) is ok.
BUT THEN.
Ok, It looks like rendering big pieces (I have an rtx 3070 card) is impossible. (I render h,264 and just hd.
So I try to find the sweet spot (that I don't have to try 10 times for rendering before it works AMAZING YOU DO THESAME THING, EVEN RESTARTING PC AND ANYTHING ELSE, AND SOMETIMES IT DOOESN'T WORK, THE NEXT TIME IT WORKS) and I render pieces and then again drop them into the timeline after eachother and render a bigger longer piece...... but it gets harder and exporting is a lucky shot...... restarting pc and thesame settings and it rendering fails and 5 times later it MAGICALLY WORKS.
A real professional product. Enough ssd free space, anything, anything is done to make it possible and the right hardware..... but the software is like...... bad, really bad.
And the bigger, longer it gets, the more difficult. You read forum with advice and you try and try but it all comes down to 1 point: the "professional product" is unprofessional. A pure pure pure joke.
I have no idea how you, professional people can keep working with this.
Sometimes I get an error, sometimes not. And when not an error and when PP says it is all ok..... still have to play the file as there is still a 50/50 chance it is not ok. Amazing. I have no words for this.
And trust me, I tried it all. You can change settings and maybe it will work. The next time maybe not, for 5 times in a row. And then the other setting could work. Don't try 10 different settings. It's all a perfect crazy vicious circle.
I have no words for it how this is possible.
Don't think that I am asking to much of this product, rendering normal hd. And once the file gets bigger, let's say above 25/30 gigs...... you can try and try and try and try to render and hope AND PRAY the thing works once in a while.
And the best part is: you have to wait and retry and wait and retry...... I am trying to render for 4 days now and I do exactly thesame routine and it worked ONCE!!!!!! Each render is about 2 hours.....
Do you at Adobe really know yourself how your product works??????????
