Know any Premiere Pro alternatives? I know nothing about videos except we pay $70 a month and Premiere Pro still can't edit our older iPhone videos because they were filmed without a certain compatibility setting turned on for the phone.
We have to run an older (years older) Premiere Pro on our Macbook that somehow can edit them without any issues at all, with a newer up-to-date version on our much faster PC for recent videos. We've tried transcoding and various things like using an older version on Windows, but nothing else seems to work.
Then the other day I had to stay up until 3am because a video being edited just stopped saving with an uncaught exception and no useful information on both versions. I finally figured out that some effects like loudness and reverb control applied to the sound channel had become corrupted (after noticing it would save with sound off, then fiddling with the clips for another 2 hours having no idea what I'm doing).
Ever since the Flash days I've been wary of their software quality. Paying over $800 per year is fair if you're earning money and the stuff just works, but they don't seem to be holding up their end of the bargain.
However, if you don't need the absolutely full array of switches available in FFmpeg, Ive used the fork FFmbc to get into standard broadcast formats with easy presets:
Thanks, I've heard of DaVinci Resolve and found out shortly after commenting that there is a free version. We should give it a try.
I've got ffmpeg and Handbrake for transcoding but for some reason they both caused issues in Premiere Pro still (audio sync, choppy/repeating footage, etc) on those files. I'm not very experienced, so that might be on me, but it didn't seem to happen outside of Premiere Pro.
