I am always amazed when I hear people say that Premiere is hard to learn. I find Premiere Pro so easy and obvious. I remember checking out Vegas way back in ver. 3.0 and I thought that it was a mess of an interface, especially back then. After all it was originally developed from an audio editing program and it sure looked like it back then! In any case all the editing apps are so similar nowadays, anyone who edits routinely should be able to pick up the basics for one or the other one in minutes and be competent in days if you spend time with it. Only thing I would really have to re-learn which would slow me down a bit if I ever switched apps (fat chance) is all the keystroke commands for Premiere Pro. I use custom keyboard shortcuts all the time so my fingers can work without looking down and I save a lot of time jumping around the timeline and workspace with a minimum of fatigueing wasted mouse movements.
