but i mean to edit the final movie, superman was used just to capture, and in avatar it was used as pre edits... they used avid..
 
Well, they didn't have CS5 then, and CS4 was very unreliable…
 
Adobe put Premiere Pro in the right track with version 1, after they realized that the old "Premiere" was reaching a dead end. So they programmed every thing from scratch. From that time Premiere kept becoming better and better, but still could not compete in the well-established pro market, where Avid and Final Cut ruled. That's why it was not used in movies, especially if we bear in mind that Premiere had real issues with long projects, but was fine in shorter ones. With CS5 things may dramatically change, if Adobe continues to play it right.

so not even 1 movie has been edited in premiere?
 
PPro CS5 will change a lot of perceptions on its abilities to edit. first a number of indie films, music, videos and commercials will be cut with PPro. It will take a little while for hollywood feature films to catch up. Its not that the software is not capable, the Hollywood industry is a different beast. Producers trust certain editors and those editors usually edit in Proxy with two or three assistants queuing, previz, syncing sound etc for them. They have learnt to work with the various Avid products mainly for realtime offline with DNXHD. The edls are sent for Online to other facilities. So all the new capabilities of CS5 don't really matter to a working offline editor. All they are curious to know is if Avid can work with the new file based workflows, well clearly it can, so why will they bother to switch. Finalcut got into the market for independent filmmakers, but with the Nitris DX hardware its hard to leave realtime HD for anything else.

So to answer your question Avid is still king in Hollywood, Finalcut in the Indie world. and Adobe CS5 will definitely be the go to NLE for new cross/multi platform media. If you pay attention there is more work in New Media, with web advertising, web episodics, google tv, hulu, youtube tv, boxee, and a plethora of prosumer recording devices it does not matter if Adobe is not used in film editing (which it will be used for). What matters is YOU bongo bongo. What are your needs? do you want to buy an expensive NLE because Iron man was Edited on it? or do you want to buy an affordable piece of software that can handle in realtime any kind of footage you feed it? research what you need, you might be better of getting Autodesk Smoke or a Quantel for your needs, or if you want to work in one of the hollywood cutting rooms then get Avid and learn the shit out of it. Remember those big Hollywood producers will not be giving you their footage on a firewire hard drive to edit at home, its not going to happen.

Click to expand...

Edited in CS3: "Dust to Glory" "El Evangelista"
In post production editing in CS5: "Act of Valor" "Recycled Christmas"

I do find it both impressive and sad that Adobe created a bogus series, "Paladin," to show off CS5 at NAB. It would have been nice to see footage from a real series being manipulated.
