      I have CS3.  Is it worth the uprgade to CS4 now or would it be better to wait for CS5?  Any suggestions.

          I find the improvements definitely worth the upgrade.  I work only with I-frame source.

            If you delve a little deeper into the opinions and problems posted about Premiere CS4 you may find many users totally unhappy with the performance and stability of this product. 4.1 is supposedly a future update with many fixes but it's a crapshoot at this point for me.

             

            My vote is that Premiere CS4 is extremely buggy and crashprone.

            Although I am editing avchd so your results may vary with a different format. I also have big problems with Quicktime formats and intermediate codecs when using CS4. I have found that a very powerful computer is needed to minimize the

            stability problems.
