Version 7.0 can import AVCHD files from camcorder, and edit directly on the timeline. Takes a fast computer of course, but it works. One of the most powerful features of Premiere, keyframing (animated effects), is somewhat hidden but fully functional. Inline rendering takes forever for some effects, but most are reasonable. Export options now include varieties of HD mpeg4 (H.263), HD mpeg2, and HD WMV (those are the ones I tried) -- the HD encodings all looked good to my eyes.
I never used the disc creation features in this version, usually just play H.263 output files from PE7 through a PS3 onto projector. When I want to make a disc (DVD or BR), I use TMPG authoring works 4.
Basically has all the features of the pro version that any consumer could possibly use, at a small fraction of the pro price. Excellent value. |
