Simple cuts and dissolves are more subtle editing methods which push
Premiere to to the limits? Is this a put-on?
It's strange to hear someone struggling to use Premiere to edit feature
films, when there are so many more reliable nle solutions out there,
including some very inexpensive ones.
I hope other aspects of your feature film project are planned,
researched, and budgeted better than this.
OTOH, Premiere may be ideal for editng certain feature films. An obvious
one that comes to mind would be "phantom menace." You don't need an
actor. You don't even need to shoot scenes for him. Premiere will insert
his "phantom frames" automatically at appropriate places in the feature
film, saving time, energy, and budget.
