It is still fairly easy to use (especially for those of you with experience with adobe products such as Photoshop), but it has much more manual control for advanced editing techniques. You have full control of color manipulation, it's HDV compatible, you have full manual control over video speed (in percentages), and you can alter the fade in / out points at exactly the point you want. It's worth the price and your films which look much more professional being edited with Adobe Premier. Just one word of caution... Make sure your system is compatible with running this software. Adobe premier requires more system resources so older computers may not be compatible with it.
