Adobe Premier..do I need anything else?

Hi..

I have got Adobe Premier but wondered if I need any other software to run alongside it for video editing, or will this do what I want ?
I hear lots of talk of Pinnacle, is this just another alternative ?

Cheers
Steve

If you are talking about Pinnacle Studio then Premiere is more powerful

If you have Premiere 6 or later then this is all you will need for editing. I believe that versions before 6 were only compatable with analogue capture.
Premiere is a very powerful editing solution and as said above is far more powerful with loads more features than Pinnacle Studio and in fact most other editors. If you need further features (unlikely if you are just starting out!) then there are loads of plug-ins that can add numerous features to Premiere. Some are free and available from the Adobe web site and many more such as title generators, organic wipes etc can all be added into Premiere for aditional cost without buying complete new programmes.

I've got version 5.1c and it supports digital - it came with my NLE card with 1394 ports on it.

Must be version 5 or later then

I know that the older versions did not support DV editing.
