Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based and non-linear video editing software application (NLE) developed by Adobe Inc. and published as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud licensing program. First launched in 2003, Adobe Premiere Pro is a successor of Adobe Premiere (first launched in 1991). It is geared towards professional video editing, while its sibling, Adobe Premiere Elements, targets the consumer market.
CNN was an early adopter of Adobe Premiere Pro.[4] Also, in 2007, certain BBC departments adopted Premiere Pro.[5] It has been used to edit feature films, such as Deadpool, Gone Girl,[6] Captain Abu Raed, Terminator: Dark Fate[7] and Monsters,[8] and other venues such as Madonna's Confessions Tour.[9]
History[edit]
Original Adobe Premiere[edit]
The original version of Adobe Premiere was developed by Adobe Systems. It was first launched in 1991, and its final version was released in 2002.
Premiere was one of the first computer non-linear editing systems.[10] The first version for Mac released in 1991, and the first version for Microsoft Windows was released in September 1993.[11] The project began at SuperMac Technology as ReelTime, a QuickTime-based video editor for its VideoSpigot video capture card.[12] SuperMac engineer Randy Ubillos created a working demo of ReelTime in about 10 weeks while QuickTime was still in beta.[13] The software project was acquired by Adobe Systems in August 1991 and was renamed Adobe Premiere.[12] Ubillos also left SuperMac to join Adobe.[13]
Premiere was one of the first QuickTime-based video editors on the market.[14] As a result, its ability to import new video formats could also be upgraded by updating to a newer compatible version of Quicktime. However, it was limited to processing video and images that were 1024 pixels wide, or less.[15]
Premiere included 24 transition effects and a plug-in architecture that was compatible with some Photoshop filters.[14]
Release of Adobe Premiere Pro[edit]
It was replaced by Adobe Premiere Pro (introduced in 2003), a rewritten version of Adobe Premiere. Premiere Pro is the successor to Adobe Premiere and was launched in 2003. Premiere Pro refers to versions released in 2003 and later, whereas Premiere refers to the earlier releases. Premiere was based on ReelTime, a product acquired from SuperMac Technologies Inc. and was one of the first computer-based NLEs (non-linear editing system), with its first release on Mac in 1991. Adobe briefly abandoned the Mac platform after version 6 of Premiere. Up until version Premiere Pro 2.0 (CS2), the software packaging featured a galloping horse, in a nod to Eadweard Muybridge's work, "Sallie Gardner at a Gallop".
Features[edit]
Premiere Pro supports high resolution video editing at up to 10,240 × 8,192[16] resolution, at up to 32 bits per channel color, in both RGB and YUV. Audio sample-level editing, VST audio plug-in support, and 5.1 surround sound mixing are available. Premiere Pro's plug-in architecture enables it to import and export formats beyond those supported by QuickTime or DirectShow, supporting a wide variety of video and audio file formats and codecs on both MacOS and Windows. When used with CineForm's Neo line of plug-ins, it supports 3D editing with the ability to view 3D material using 2D monitors, while making individual left and right eye adjustments.
Premiere Pro can be used for all common video editing tasks necessary for producing broadcast-quality, high-definition video. It can be used to import video, audio and graphics, and is used to create new, edited versions of video which can be exported to the medium and format necessary for the distribution. When creating videos using Premiere Pro, various videos, still images and audio files can be edited together. Titles and motion graphics can be added to videos and filters can be applied along with other effects.
Premiere Pro was very well received at launch in the film and video industry,[citation needed] seeing use in films such as Superman Returns, Dust to Glory[17] (for video capture processing), and also in places such as Madonna's Confessions Tour.[9]
Workflow integration[edit]
Through Adobe Dynamic Link, compositions from Adobe After Effects may be imported and played back directly on the Premiere Pro timeline. The After Effects composition can be modified, and after switching back to Premiere Pro, the clip will update with the changes. Likewise, Premiere Pro projects can be imported into After Effects. Clips can be copied between the two applications while preserving most clip attributes. Premiere Pro also supports many After Effects plug-ins.Video projects in Premiere Rush can be opened in Premiere Pro to add more complex edits[18] and views.Adobe Photoshop files can be opened directly from Premiere Pro to be edited in Photoshop. Any changes will immediately be updated when the Photoshop file is saved and focus returns to Premiere Pro.Adobe Illustrator files can also be opened directly in Premiere Pro. These files are generally vector files, which means that they are mathematical paths that can expand or decrease with any zoom level.- Adobe Story, OnLocation and Prelude
