This was probably because of superior marketing and a lack of competition rather than the software being anything astounding to write home about!ĭon’t get me wrong here, it was always a quite serviceable product and got the job done but over time it began to suffer from two main problems.įirst of these was that it was quite obvious Adobe were focusing on the pro end of the market with Premiere Pro and that’s where the development energy was being invested.
