Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro is one of the best video editing software for professionals and amateurs. It is a great choice for people who have basic knowledge of film creation and want to make video content at a professional level. The reasons for its popularity are quite clear due to the Adobe eco-system and locked down into the creative and graphic design workflow, and supported format dependency.

The program has a non-linear video editing interface, an unrivalled system of working tools and a powerful feature set. Adobe Premiere Pro works well with other Adobe Products. This lets users move data and assets between software to use and edit as they need. This way, they can work seamlessly without interrupting their workflow and come up with a product that is creative and well done.

First release version on Windows and macOS platform in 2003. Latest version is (14.0) for OS X El Capitan platform, released in November 2019.

Feature Overview

Premiere Pro supports high resolution video editing at up to 10,240 × 8,192 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 distribution. When creating videos using Premiere Pro, various video and still images can be edited together. Titles can be added to videos, and filters can be applied along with other effects.

Latest Feature summary | Premiere Pro (November 2019 release)

New features and enhancements in the November 2019 release of Premiere Pro (version 14.0)

Auto Reframe

The content for different social media and mobile viewing platforms. Instead of manually cropping and keyframing footage, Auto Reframe automates the process using Adobe Sensei AI technology. Use Auto Reframe to reframe sequences for square, vertical, and cinematic 16:9, or for cropping high-resolution footage. Auto Reframe can be applied as an effect to individual clips or to entire sequences. Graphics and other edits are maintained within the new aspect ratio.

Graphics and text enhancements

This release of Premiere Pro has many graphics and text enhancements.

Ability to rename shape and clip layers

You can now rename shape and clip layers inside the Essential Graphics panel by clicking the name and editing the resulting text field. You can then commit your new name by pressing Enter or clicking away from the text field.

Text underlining

You can now underline text with the new Underline style button.

Multi-line text fields in Motion Graphics templates

Motion Graphics templates created in After Effects now include the option for multi-line text fields. Instead of requiring a separate text field for each line, you can now add and edit multiple lines of text in Premiere Pro when using templates.

New drop-down menu option in Motion Graphics templates

Motion Graphics templates created in After Effects can now include drop-down menus, simplifying the workflow in Premiere Pro. Use the controls in the drop-down list to choose different styles or graphic elements when customizing your motion graphics.

New keyboard shortcuts for working with the Essential Graphics panel

Premiere Pro now includes additional keyboard shortcuts for working with layers, including reordering layers, adding text, and selecting layers. For example, you can now use familiar Ctrl + Shift or Cmd + Shift with square brackets to send layers to the back or bring them to the front.

Audio enhancements

This release of Premiere Pro has multiple audio enhancements.

Mix multi-channel audio more efficiently in Premiere Pro

Better performance: Reengineered audio effects routing streamlines audio workflows for multi-channel projects.

Audio effects: Add audio effects with their native channelization options for adaptive tracks. And set up routing to the output configurations you require.

Loudness Radar effect: Use this effect with better accuracy to measure the proper channel configurations required to ensure your content meets broadcast standards.

Increased range for audio gain

You can now add up to 15 decibels of gain to audio clips. This provides more headroom for your audio, without requiring additional amplification effects and matches the gain feature in Adobe Audition.

Previously, the limit for adding audio gain was 6 decibels.

Time remapping to 20,000 percent

The maximum speed for time remapping has been increased to 20,000 percent, allowing users to create time-lapse footage from very long source clips.

New and improved format support includes:

• Improved Apple ProRes HDR support
• Import of QuickTime Animation files with Delta Frames
• Import of AVI Motion JPEG files (macOS)
• Import of Canon XF-HEVC footage
• Import of Canon EOS C500 Mark II footage

Benefits

1. Responsive Design

Users need an interface that they can work comfortably with for maximum productivity and efficiency. That is why Adobe Premiere Pro is constantly updated to make its interface more responsive. For example is the improved integrity of key frames in motion graphics.

2. Integrated Workflow

Adobe Premiere Pro integrates with other Adobe products for a smoother workflow. This allows team members to handle each other’s projects in other applications without disrupting their work processes. On top of that, colleagues can also communicate easily without having to get out of the application. That is made possible with the integration with Microsoft Teams where workers can exchange notes on projects and where superiors can check on each member’s progress.

3. Immersive VR Support

With the rise in the use of VR, video editors increasingly need tools that let them create videos that are immersive in all aspects. That is why Adobe Premiere Pro has new and enhanced features to support complex VR editing functions.

4. Simultaneous Editing

Adobe Premiere Pro now enables users to open multiple projects at once, allowing them to switch between scenes and lift clips from one project to another. This lets them save more time in adding needed scenes into the video they are working on each time.

5. Multiple Formats

Converting videos from one format to another can cause losses in frames or subtle corruptions. To avoid that, Adobe Premiere Pro is enhanced to support more native video file formats. This lets users add videos from their cameras directly without going through the process of conversion.
