Premiere was just updated to 5.1C. Given the slow pace of their upgrade cycle who knows when 6.0 will show up?

I can't wait for Ulead MediaStudio Pro 6!
I had a chance to beta test it, but decided
to wait until after it has been put through
the ropes and is good and stable before loading it on my computer.

I hope Ulead hasn't tried to clone the Premiere interface to please the odd crowd, which is so much in love with rotten fruits

It's more to show Adobe how to do it RIGHT than to copy them.
