Presets for other software
If you like the way that Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere Pro function, there are built in templates that change the program layout and functionality to match those pieces of software. Even better, you are prompted weather you want to use these on startup so there is no digging through menus to find this feature.

You need lots of plugins
For example tracking is something Final Cut can't do. Only with a plugin which costs (example) around 100$. As well as for advanced colour correction you have get a third-party plugin.

Surpisingly complete
Although this editor is not up with the top of the professional pack of editors, it certainly packs a powerful punch, and should provide enough features for amateur montages, ranging from alpha manipulation, to multiple audio and video live track editing.

Con
Licensing much more expensive than competition
The cost of the adobe system over a 3 year span is significantly higher than other comparable editors. Their licensing for schools is particularly problematic as updates aren't available for site licenses in a timely manner, leaving us with compatibility issues with students using their own licenses at home.

Con
Slow and choppy performance working with 4K or higher resolution
Working with REDcode 4K or higher brings the performance and stability of Premiere down.

Works well with other Adobe programs
This program is made to interact very well with the other Adobe production apps like After Effects, SpeedGrade, Soundbooth, Photoshop and others. Adobe programs can dynamically link with each other, so when an update occurs in Premiere it will update in other software accordingly.
