usually not...I have been using premier for about 3 years and the only tip i have for you is to pan your audio...Premier is not the best option for editing news...its great for general production work...even advanced production because it gives you great control over all aspects...except your audio...avid is better at that...but overall, the only thing I can tell you is to check your local VO-Tech school and see if they have a solution that is geared towards students doing this type of thing...also check with local colleges...because of premiers low price point, its easier for colleges to use.
