6th April 2012 - Premiere Pro VS Mac

As I do not have a MAC computor to work on at home, I have checked out the time-tables at Uni to use the MAC's in the computor pool and come in on my own time on a couple of occassions to try and work out how to use Premier Pro and iMovie. I have not used either of these applications before and am finding the entire thing very overwhelming and frustrating. I am a perfectionist and a little OCD and used to doing things well, this is a struggle for me.

"Computors and I speak a different language and I am clearly in dire need of a translator."

I am seriously wondering if this was the best course choice for someone like myself who is technically challenged. Well always one for a challenge, I will endevour to do my best to overcome and hopefully learn some technical skills along the way.

Apparently, it seems to be the opinion of a few in class that Premier Pro is the better option for manipulting footage, especially if wanting to insert dialouge or music.  I am told that iMovie can be quite limiting and thus making Premier Pro the better option by default. However, I have had far more trouble working out how to get it to work for me and am questioning whether iMove is possibly the better choice for me at this stage. I think I may need to further research both and look at some turorials before I am in the best position to make a decision. However, I am even more than determined to work it out than when we began. I wont be beaten....arghaaa.
