Software rambling

Of all the softwares I've put my hands on, Adobe Premiere is the one that ... I must say ... really sucks. Grrr!!!

1. Firstly, it's the only good video editor out there which is capable of performing all kinds of effects we need, hence I can't find any good replacement for it. Windows Movie Maker can also do some jobs, but I hate it also when I cant figure out how to speed up the clip as how we want, it can only doubles the speed, hmmph!

2. Adobe Premiere cannot import .avi files. WTH!!! Hence I had to convert each and every file to .mpeg, which inarguably reduces the quality quite a lot T_T

3. Exporting files is another factor that contributes to making the final product look like it has been captured with the first camera ever invented in the history. And too bad, after all the efforts, I still cannot improve it >_<

4. Last but not least, on the contrary, the worst: it takes thousands of years to run, and it occupies half of In's lappy's RAM space, even my desky cant run normally while it's doing its favorite routine which is some heck I dont even know. And if you happen to want to build 1 min of video after editing, *hah* all u can do is leave it there for like ... 1 hour, go eating, sleeping, reading mangas, anything you can think of, then come back, AND to find this "NOT RESPONDING" dialog pop up on your dear screen. What worse could it be !?!?!?

Lessons learnt: when you need to build a video with Adobe Premiere, build for each 4s, then combine them together, dont try your head off to build 2 mins of it at one time. But this is also too time-consuming and effort-wasting, hence never use Adobe Premiere to edit video. But ... nothing can replace it with so many effects it can provide ... hence final lesson: never do video editing. Hehe!!!
