Is there a difference between the two programs?

I am debating if to buy the Premiere CS6 or to subscribe to the Premiere CC in the Adobe Creative Cloud.

I've worked with CS6 and CS5 for 2 years. Once I switched over to CC I noticed a HUGE difference in performance when it came to 4K video. With CS6 I would have to re-render every time I made a change to a clip to see the change, but with CC I can view the change without the need to render it every time, which is a HUGE time saver.

I also like the mask option without needing After Effects, Audio sync is a feature in CC, and also my fav is optical flow. Optical flow allows me to slow down footage even if my frame rate was too low, lets say 24 fps. Optical flow predicts and create the missing frames when you try to slow it down. GoPro studio has this feature. Its amazing since there are often times I wish I shot a scene in slower motiong (60 fps) but shot it in 24 fps.

There are constant new plugins, like presets to fix gopro distortion of wide angle shots etc. If you have the money CC is the way to go. If those features aren't part or your regular work flow CS6 is still amazing.

You may want to look at Adobe Community: 7/11, not 9/11

Also... you buy CS6 once (for more upfront money) or you buy the Cloud every month (for less per month)

If you decide to stop paying the monthly Cloud fee, your Adobe software stops working

CS6 is at a dead end (there have been recent bug fixes, but no new major features) so you have to decide if CS6 does what you want, or if you need the Cloud version

Don't you pay for the could forever? How is that less money?

Well, if you had to buy an upgrade in 2 years that cost you $500, then, well that's less than the $478 for two years of subscription. They kind of have you either way!

CS6 is at a dead end. It will never get any new features. Premiere Pro CC is a definite improvement and will continue to improve. Go with CC.
