Recently I somehow decided to try out Creative Cloud, so I installed Premiere Pro (and Encode (took ~1 hour)) and made an incomplete, experimental video (shown below) with the new version to get a feel of it.
I've been using Premiere CS5 and CS6 for 2 years as a non-professional, mainly for occasional school projects; before that I was a Final Cut user. A usual editing to me involves doing basic video transitions, adding effects such as color correction or adjusting position, audio transitions and control, making titles and exporting. I don't quite know how to use After Effect and seldom make musical video (I've only edited one music video), so I'm not familiar with fancy after-effects (like explosion or whatever) and audio controlling beyond adjusting volume, which means that there tons of features I haven't used or noticed in Premiere, thus most of the things Adobe says about CS6 vs. Pro CC don't matter to me nor do they make sense (:/).
Here are the only few main things I noticed about Premiere Pro CC:
1. CC is a subscription model where as all the other versions are purchase model. To people who already bought the CS series and use Premiere frequently (at least once a month), the monthly subscription is much more costly than one-time purchase. But for people who haven't bought any CS version, CC seems a good deal: the market price for CS6 is ~$1000, the monthly subscription to CC is $19.99 (rounds up to 20), this means the price of one CS6 = 50 months (4.16 years) of CC (assuming prices are constant over the next 4 years).
I personally prefer subscription because I only use Premiere, like, once every 3 months. Moreover, $19.99 gives you access to all Creative Cloud softwares.
2. The booth time is longer than CS5 and CS6 by 5~10 minutes.
3. CC is undoubtedly more stable than other versions, though it still crashes sometimes.
4. Effect copying and pasting is faster.
5. More keyboard shortcuts!
(6. Export time seems shorter (needs more testing).)

I didn't have any raw footage at that time so I wandered around Youtube and eventually found some cool music videos of Show Lo. The opening scenes looked dramatic enough that I thought it would be nice to mix all of the them in one video.
