Question

Thinking of purchasing Premiere Pro but I am uncertain what the difference is between Premiere Pro and Premiere Pro CC.  I was going to download a trial but had questions.....

Are the trial version of Premiere Pro and the Premiere Pro CC the same?   How do they differ? 

Are they 100% functioning trials?

Most important question for me is...

Can you export videos without any trial banners/watermarks?   If not, then after I purchase will I be able to remove the trial banner/watermarks?

    what the difference is between Premiere Pro and Premiere Pro CC.

    Premiere Pro is the name of the program, CC is the current version of that program.  The previous version was called CS6, and before that, CS5.5, etc.

    The trials are fully functional, there are no watermarks.  However, disk authoring (DVD and Blu-ray) do require additional software not include with the trial.  You can use other software if you have it, or once you purchase Premiere Pro, you will gain access to the disk authoring program called Encore.  Web and computer playback of exports will not be an issue, even with the trial.

    Thank you for your response.

    I now understand the versioning naming convention.  It was unclear to me and thought they were indeed the same product.  The Encore information is also appreciated.

    Thank you for the trial information that I was seeking.  (I wanted to be sure that any work I try/perform will not go to waste during evaluation before purchase.)

    CC has been introduced in June last year, CS6 is still available.

    There are two major differences, CS6 is a perpetual license, CC is only rental. CS6 is frozen, no new features, no new bugs, CC is updated on a regular basis, giving you new features and new bugs.

    People updating from a previous version of Master Collection can do so for the sum of $ 525, disregarding rebates. That is the end of the story for them. They can use that version perpetually, even in 5 years time.

    People going for the rental model pay far more, even in the 9 months since introduction, they would have paid $ 85 per month (at least over here) for a sum total of $ 765, only to have the benefit of all the new features AND bugs. In five years time they have paid $ 5.100 if Adobe does not increase prices in the meantime, which is highely unlikely. And after having paid that astronomical amount they are left with zilch when they end their subscription. CS6 users can continue using their license indefinitely. See the difference?

      Do you mean Premiere Pro CS6 -vs- Premiere Pro CC?

      PPro CC is available ONLY via Cloud supscription... it is receiving updates, but if you stop paying your monthly subscription it stops working

      PPro CS6 is available EITHER via Cloud or as a one time purchase... which is standalone and doesn't need a Cloud subscription

      I don't do trials, but as far as I know there are no export limitations

      Also, if you want to create a DVD or BluRay, PPro CC no longer includes Encore... you must make an additional download (again, stops working if you stop paying) or buy the standalone PPro CS6

      Your reply was quite helpful. 

      Yes, I did mean Premiere Pro CS6 VS Premiere Pro CC.  (Sorry for not being clearer.)  But they are both the same product though, correct? Or do these differ?

      The difference seems to be whether you pay for it up front or as you go.  Also, the additional pain of installing Encore CS6 workaround.

      Questions.....

      Are they 100% functioning trials?

      Can you export videos without any trial banners/watermarks?

                If not, then after I purchase will I be able to remove the trial banner/watermarks?

      My understanding is that there would NOT be any watermarks on export. However, from what I've seen from other posters, some codecs may not be available in the trial version due to licensing issues (Adobe can't include support for certain things unless collecting the appropriate royalties).

      You can download the CS6 trial versions here -
