Beowolf,
I owned Premiere since its' inception, and have lived with many versions of
it on the Mac and then the PC. I had tons of problems with it, pretty crappy
support from Adobe, and generally lackluster performance as well.
I have found several vastly better ways to handle HDV, and have never looked
back to Adobe or Premiere. Even though they now are re-entering the Mac
market once again with a Premiere designed to run on Intel Macs, all I can
say is....."who cares".....
