Pros

“Premiere Pro has played an important role in creating videos for social media, while the cloud storage has helped us to easily and quickly share files within the team.”
ET

Edward T.

Founder and Marketing Strategist

“Video editing in Premiere Pro is robust, handling heavy timelines and color grading beautifully. Once you get past the initial learning curve, the ease of use and interoperability between the apps is a huge time-saver.”

Sourav M.

Research Associate

“In my creation and design work, I can switch from Illustrator to Photoshop or other Adobe applications depending on the needs of the project.”

Jordan Q.

Pros

“It's great tool for quick skechers and full illustrations with an extension brush library, built-in time lapse feature and file management system.”
YM

Yogesh M.

Game Artist

“The different brushes allow you to create alot of textures as well as the ability to create your own brushes.”

“Many of its tools (such as selection, color fill, and brush smoothing) work much better than expensive PC programs.”
VD

Void D.

Cons

“Subscription cost is pretty high, maybe a little too high. And be careful when you subscribe, read the fine prints because if you go for the yearly subscription and cancel before the year is up, they will charge you a massive cancellation fee ($100+).”
VT

Victoria T.

Self-Employed

“To begin with, the program operates using high lifetime costs and the rent-forever style, making it unaffordable to some people.”

Bruno M.

Marketing Executive Intern

“i dont like having access to my media assets dependent on a cloud provider that makes it impossible for me to login if my internet isnt working. that nots a tool, thats a leash”

John C.

Software developer

Cons

“My least favorite thing about the program is the way pixels are obliterated by rotating and moving.”
JG

Jakkie G.

Freelancer

“I find the learning curve sometimes a little steep, especially with layers and masks. If I don't use the programme again in a while sometimes I will forget how to do some things. ”

Amber L.

People Reporting and Communications Officer

“This can be hard when moving onto industry standard software and having no clue because procreate never had them.”
