Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro, produced by
Adobe, is real-time, timeline based
video editing software targeted at
prosumer and professional video editors. It is part of the
Adobe Production Studio, a suite of digital video and audio applications. Premiere Pro has many hardware and software partners, and is often included as an
OEM package with
video editing cards like the Matrox RT.X2.
Premiere Pro is a rewritten version of Adobe Premiere, and was launched in
2003. Though it's predecessor, Premiere, was available for the
Macintosh, Premiere Pro does not support
Mac OS due to the engineering costs of
cross-platform development, and multiple competing products on Mac OS. [
1]. Since its rewrite, Premiere Pro is growing in acceptance by the film and video industry, and has been used in such movies as
Dust To Glory by
Dana Brown, and
Superman Returns[
2], and other venues such as
Madonna's Confessions Tour[
3].
Version 1.5, released in
2004, improved support for
High-definition video content, and added new project management tools and new filters. It also included support for
24p footage (most commonly, footage from
Panasonic's DVX-100). Version 1.5.1 added support for
HDV. Version 2.0 further refines 24p and HDV editing, and it is the first major NLE to natively support the Canon 24F[
4] format on cameras such as the
Canon XL H1, with an additional update[
5][
6]. This latest edition of Premiere Pro, version 2.0, requires the processor to support
SSE2, which is unavailable in older processors, including some
AMD model
CPUs such as the Athlon. [

An entry-level version,
Adobe Premiere Elements, is available for the consumer market.
