Look I don't want to sound like a Vegas plug here but it much eaiser then premire to use with Vegas's straight forward interface and not to mention that all the effects are tucked away out of site instead of on the time line. There for giving you more room on the timeline to work on your videos and not worry about all the effects taking up view space. Also vegas lets you see each video fram right on the time line in real time. And lots of other great quality things about it.
I use Vegas 4.0, Acid 4.0, Well I use all of Sonic Foundy's programs, (now Sony Pictures)
Anyway if you want to see what you can do in Vegas check out my video here it was completely done in Vegas, but keep in mind that this is not the finished product video just the demo stage.
