Why version 1.5 and not version 8 or 9 for Adobe Premiere Pro?

Is there a good reason why the latest version of
Premiere Pro changed to a low version number?
Someone could mistake it for an old version of Premiere Pro.

"Premiere Pro" did not exist before. It was just "Premiere"
Besides, there is nobody left alive who remembers the
original 1.x It is just marketing, you can safely
ignore it. I believe the internal version number of
Premire Pro 1.0 is "7.0" and 1.5 is "7.5" internally.

 

Thanks Richard.
I had a feeling that there was a Adobe Premiere Pro 7.0, I must hve
been thinking of something else.

Some people called it that (maybe even Adobe themselves
for a brief period?) until the marketing people decided
to go for a new number series. It doesn't matter to me
which number they use.

 

True, the bottom line is marketing hype.

 

Hey! I remember it!

 

I remember, and still have an original copy of Adobe Premiere 1. That's
where I started.

 

Grandpa, I told you to stay away from my computer!

 

Mostly 'cause I got it for free with an intel video card.. I think the
upgrade was $10 to a functional 4.0 version.. I always remember a good deal.
