Question

How much of CC do videographers use? Favorite Apps? Workstation/Mobile App workflow?

I have a day job that pays for my video/graphics hobby, which has been mostly home movies of family vacations, that my family likes enough to watch again and show firends; I am not a pro. I've had this CC subsctription for 3 years, for the home movies and an occasional YouTube video. Im looking to expand my YouTube content - Got 3 or 4 topics to cover with nearly 5TB of video, stills and timelapse from the last 4 years. It all resides on a NAS within my home network, and Ive got a worthy Windows workstation, and a handful of Apple products. Im getting pretty good with Premiere Pro, and exercise some of those support apps for special effects, audio editing and such. 

Been looking at Premiere Rush, but am confused/daunted by managing the content storage, quality etc. I really dont use CC cloud, and wondering if I should. Have not found a workflow to tap my extensive iCloud content. My current life challenge is only having scattered 1/2hr oppoertunities almost daily to build and edit projects. I had this notion that I could use my iPhone and/or iPad to assemble and arrange a bunch of projects with Premiere Rush during those short sessions, for that rare day that I get to spend at my workstation and produce some nice content.

Anyone out there also a solo video artist doing this stuff? Looking for favorite apps and workflows, and perhaps cautionary tales.

    Hello, just saw this message about my question being moved from
    non-technical to Premier Rush.
    Thank you for aiming me towards a better resource, but my overall question
    is more about The complete app choice set that’s CC, not just Premiere
    Rush. Is there a better choice to put the post?

    Thank you for your time,
    Chris

    Each product has it's own support community where knowledgeable product users can better answer your questions about what each app does and how it works.

     

    In a nutshell:

    • Premier Pro is pro-level software geared to industry professionals and power users. The learning curve can be quite steep. 
    • After Effects is 2D motion graphics software, frequently used for post production animation, titles and special effects.
    • Premier Elements is aimed at consumer users.  
    • Rush / Creative Cloud Express are lighter tools for creating short clips and posting them on social media.
