The biggest advantage: speed. Combining the native FILE support which allows for near instant file access with the speed and precision that Hover SCRUB can allow as well as the new trimming tools and you can work very fast the new VERSION of Premiere.

The biggest disadvantage: media management. Like FCP Premiere is just using a file path to get to the media on your hard drive. There is no “media management” above and beyond what you the editor are doing on your own. Reconnecting off-line media can be more difficult than FCP7 because Premiere doesn’t have any way to automatically search a drive for the clip is looking for. This can become even more tedious with file-based media as it OFTEN has CRYPTIC filenames.
