Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based video editing software application. It is part of the Adobe Creative Suite and the Adobe Creative Cloud, which includes video editing, graphic design, and web development programs.
Premiere Pro is used by professional broadcasters, film producers, and live music venues. It 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 is not part of the CS6 Design and Web Premium package but is included in the university’s Creative Cloud package.
