<<Do u think Premier is more User friendly than Avid, I think Avid is used in the Market nowa days. Premier has no future. So What's the basic differences between them. Why people prefer Avid. Most of the Studios use FCP or Avid. So is it wise to say Premiere is more useful today.>>
--Neeraj, there is a huge difference between earlier versions of Premiere and Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro is a complete and total rewrite of the program and it is said to be remarkably similar to AVID. But more important we should two other things, and the first one is that, ALTHOUGH AVID enjoys a much larger market share among the broadcast TV and film industry, Premiere Pro is catching up, for two reasons. First, Premiere Pro is related and dovetailed with Adobe After Effects, and After Effects is arguably one of the TOP software programs of its kind anwwhere and is accepted and respected the world over by ALL facets of the film and television industry. Adobe After Effects works equally well with both Apple and PC platforms. Secondly, Premiere Pro and even a couple of earlier versions of Premiere ARE used in many local advertising applications for TV, so it is the national market share where it is currently much further behind. Also please consider that Premiere has had the edge in corporate communications and business video for years. AVID has better capabilities for working with "export to film" applications and that is where it enjoys a better reputation and one must not ignore the age-old adavantage that Apple products have historically had over PC platforms. That edge, however, is starting to disappear. Lastly, one must consider price. Price is where AVID is distinctly at a disadvantage. So...is it wise to say Premiere is more useful? I believe it depends on your target market, and it also depends on your budget. Keep an eye to the future, because I believe it can be safely said that Adobe has a desire to capture more of the AVID market in the near future and intends to take some more steps to make that possible Also, Adobe is probably keenly aware of the fact that Sony has made huge strides with their Vegas product.
