Bruce A. Johnson

A 1981 graduate of the Boston University College of Communication, Bruce A. Johnson got his first job in broadcast television at WFTV, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, FL. While there, he rose through the ranks from teleprompter operator to videographer, editor, producer and director of many different types of programming. It was in the early 1980's that he bought his first computer - a Timex/Sinclair 1000 - a device he hated so much, he promptly exchanged it for an Atari 400. But the bug had bitten hard.

In 1987, Johnson joined Wisconsin Public Television in Madison as a videographer/editor, and still works there to the present day. His responsibilities have grown, however, and now include research and presentations on the issues surrounding the digital television transition, new consumer technology and the use of public television spectrum in homeland security. He freelances through his company Painted Post MultiMedia, and has written extensively for magazines including DV and Studio Monthly.

My Adobe (Non-)Switch Story

Premiere Pro Works For Me

I can clearly remember my first experience with Adobe Premiere.  It was in the early 1990’s, and I was working full-time in the News Department at Wisconsin Public Television.  I had managed to talk the news director into buying me a really new-fangled device – a desktop computer.  I believe it was a first-generation Pentium, maybe 90Mhz.  I had been into computers since about 1984, and had composed music and scored a lot of TV programs using Atari computers. Geekery was in my blood.  So once I got the Pentium, I was poised on the launching pad for what was to come.

And then I got a copy of Adobe Premiere, version 3 I think it was.  And I couldn’t make heads nor tails of it.  Strange, buggy, crash-prone, you name it, it was just not good.
