I have and use both Director & Premier.  The packages are meant
to do entirely diferent things.  Premier is just for editing
Quicktime movies.  Director is designed to develop
2D animations/presentations and output them in several file
formats, one of which is Quicktime.  Director also has its own
versatile scripting language, Lingo.  It is possible to edit a
Quicktime movie in Premier and then integrate it into a much
larger, interactive program developed in Director.

Hope this helps.
