Ok so i've stopped my subscription to premiere.

Its too expensive for software that's not doing wat it supposes to. i've tried to get answers (or even questions) from adobe but they didn't do anything. so i'm switching to davinci resolve. The latest version has improved a lot, editing wise. and it also syncs sound and video if you shot separate. A thing premiere (supposed to be PRO) doesn't do either...I'm glad i don't have to use it anymore. it was a obligance anyway since the dissapearal of fcp 7, which was way better > i think its crazy premiere pro still isn't able to support a codec that's already two years old, the XF-avc from canon c300 mk2. i've had major problems with premiere introducing severe banding on exports, to every codec possible. i was using davinci to export anyway, using an xml from premiere.

Any way, i'm using FREE davinci resolve 14 now to edit also, and i am much happier now.

good luck with premiere you guys!

    I am sorry to see you leave with such a underestimation and distorted understanding of PPro.

    anyway IMHO it will take Resolve many years to mature as PPro did.

    good luck

    Thanks for your opinion Pim, but switching to an early stage beta NLE is like asking for trouble. Syncing was the first thing I tried on Resolve and it was a disaster. I couldn't even import H264 files properly. Only time will tell if Blackmagic will ever master NLE in a PRO level like Avid, FCP and Premiere Pro.

    For me, the best choice is to stick with a stable version of your preferred NLE for production/broadcast.

    Sure, many features are missing from Premiere to be labeled "PRO", but since CS6, it's constantly improving and it is the best choice for a low budget studio.
