If Premier doesn't improve, he's going to die!!!😒😢

Good morning,

In my opinion, it would be a good idea to add a blur and border smoothing to the panel where you can modify the position and scale.

It would also be good to add more effects and transitions like Seedles natively. This helps avoid issues with third-party plugins and helps improve today's demanding workflow in most cases...

What Black Magic is doing with Davinci Resolved is fantastic. I'm not talking about merging AF with Pr, but putting Premier on par with Davinci because many users are migrating.

Regarding performance, they've improved a lot, so I congratulate them...

Where I work, they've been using Premier for over 10 years, but they're already migrating to Davinci, and it's really a shame!

I thoroughly understand the sentiments. I've been going to NAB since 2014, and heavily involved with colorists, ergo, involved with Resolve. And Resolve users. I work in both Pr and Resolve daily, have for years. Teach using both. And I far prefer Premiere to Resolve, though many friends go the other way.

Because some people like the UI and general design of any piece of software. Some don't.

For specific example, a good friend (major colorist but does some editing and a ton of "finishing" work these days) LOVES Resolve, thinks it's the most intuitive UI ever possible. He loves the layout, loves the lock-down preventing pretty much any user change of the layout, and is simply in Heaven in Resolve.

I've worked in Resolve for a decade. I still struggle to remember where in the world they've hidden a ton of the menus found in different places on each Page. I hate the general layout, would never ever design that for myself to work in, and am always frustrated at the workarounds I have to do to make sense of the app.

And yes, I've been through much of the 4,000 page manual, and hours of their training materials. So we look at each other, smile, and shake our heads.

But then, there are people for whom Nuke is totally organically intuitive. Ever looked at Nuke?  😉

For me, Premiere is far easier to setup to get productive work out of it. I'll stay in it not just for editing, but because I can quickly push color to places most people don't realize you can go in Premiere.

So it's very much a different setup, where each one is more suited for specific users. Like ... Avid. Some love it, many don't.

Use what works for you, we are all different. And enjoy that we have these different options!
