Is your copy Mac or PC?

Mine is for PC.

Can it:
* Do color exclusion?  that is, can it do blue/green screen stuff?

Yes. It can do blue/green screen key, or chroma key, or color removal. It
does not offer as muc control as say, After Affects, but you can use
multiple keys and some adjusting to get the desired quality effect.

* Does it have the OPTION to do captures via USB?

No.

* How are the special effects?  Can you add lighting, and thing like that?

Although Premiere is primarily an editing program and not special effects
software, version 6.0 does have quite a few special effects plug-ins. Color
key, color control, lighting control, distortions, stylizations. You can do
alot with it.

* Can you draw right on the frames?

Not with Premiere. This requiers a program with more special effects
controls.

* How nice and easy is it to use?

Um... depends on the user's level  of experience. I think it's fairly simple
considering how powerful it is. The manual is good too.

* Can you add multiple sound tracks?

You can have up to 99 video tracks and 99 audio tracks.

* Does it compress the final video well?  Without loss of quality?

Well, since I'm editing on DV, I haven't done any compressing, so I'm not
sure. It comes with a software called Cleaner, that will export for web and
will automatically create staggered quality files in Quicktime or Windows
Media, (i.e. 28.8k, 56k, ISDN, LAN) and offers lots of options. The quality
is low, but he, it's for the Web.

Hey Payton, I am EXTREMELY interested in getting a copy of Premiere, but am loathe to shell out the $600 for it. Before I buy it, I was wondering if you could shed some light on its features. Is your copy Mac or PC? Can it: * Do color exclusion? (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.animation)
