Top features of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4:
Adobe
Premiere Pro CS4 features enhancements, such as support for the
latest tapeless cameras, advanced metadata management, batch encoding,
and tighter-than-ever integration, that save you time. In addition,
industry-leading Blu-ray Disc authoring and the ability to output to any
screen help you reach the widest audience. Listed here are the most
significant new features found in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.
Next-generation tapeless camera support
Capturing
video directly to disk opens the door to exciting new workflows that
save time and maintain the highest quality throughout the entire
production process. Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 is designed to exploit the
full power inherent in tapeless workflows. Direct-to-disk recording
eliminates the time-consuming capture-from-tape, media-ingest phase of
post-production.
Adobe Premiere Pro offers comprehensive
video-format support, from DV to HD and beyond. Full support for a
variety of tapeless cameras and media lets you work with them natively
to achieve the fastest workflow from capture to edit, retaining the
pristine quality of your source material by eliminating time-consuming
transcoding or rewrapping.
You can import and natively edit
content from Panasonic P2 cameras in DVCPRO, DVCPROHD, and AVC-Intra
formats, and across multiple P2 cards. Similarly, you can import and
edit content from Sony XDCAM EX and XDCAM HD cameras directly, without
rewrapping or transcoding. Access the footage you want before you
import it by viewing camera metadata and organizing files in the Media
Browser. You can also edit directly from the P2 card via the camera
or a card reader, the SxS card by way of the camera or a card reader
(XDCAM EX only), or use the Media Browser to transfer content to hard
disk for better performance.
Batch encoding
With
the explosion of video on the Internet, there's been a massive shift
in how people consume video entertainment. Whether you post dailies on
a password-protected website for review and approval, produce
episodic shows for viewing online or on iPods, or distribute films by
way of an enterprise-level video-on-demand service, being able to
efficiently deliver your content in a variety of formats is crucial.
Adobe
Media Encoder, a separate software application included with Adobe
Premiere Pro CS4, saves you time by automating the process of creating
multiple encoded versions of your source files and Adobe Premiere Pro
sequences. Set up multiple items for encoding, manage priorities, and
control advanced settings for each item individually.
Adobe
Media Encoder also encodes compositions from Adobe After Effects
software when it's installed as a component of Adobe Creative Suite 4
Production Premium. Use any combination of sequences and clips as
sources, and encode to a wide variety of video formats, including FLV
and F4V, Windows Media, MPEG-2, H.264, QuickTime, and more.
Optimized encoding for mobile devices
Keeping
track of video-enabled cell phone and mobile device capabilities is
no small task. Device Central puts the latest mobile device profiles
at your fingertips through a dynamically updated online device
library.
Device Central lets you test and preview what your
work will look like on an extensive selection of devices under a
variety of simulated real-life conditions. This lets you can make
intelligent design decisions without having to go through a
time-consuming trial and error process, and deliver engaging
experiences to billions of mobile subscribers.
Improved Adobe integration
Sharing
media between pre- and post-production software tools used to require
you to render your work in one application before importing it into
another, which was an inefficient and time-consuming process. If you
needed to make changes, you had to make them in the original
application and re-render the asset. Innovative Adobe Dynamic Link,
previously available only in Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium,
streamlines this process.
Dynamic Link eliminates the need
for intermediate rendering by creating a direct link between new or
existing assets in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Encore CS4. Changes made
in Adobe Premiere Pro such as color corrections and so on are
immediately reflected in Encore.
With new Adobe Premiere Pro
integration in Adobe OnLocation, you can send entire shotlists
directly to Adobe Premiere Pro along with all the metadata-based
project intelligencethat was logged during the shoot.
Other integration enhancements in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 include:
- Flexible
Photoshop layer options. Control exactly how Photoshop files look
when imported into Adobe Premiere Pro. Preview all layers, choose
which layers to import, and then choose how to import them--as
individual layers, merged, or as a sequence.
- Support for
Photoshop files with video. Avoid the extra rendering step from Adobe
Photoshop when importing PSD files that contain video. Simply import
the files and use them just like any other video clip in the Timeline.
- Support for Photoshop blending modes. Match your favorite
looks from Photoshop by applying Photoshop blending modes to clips on
the Adobe Premiere Pro Timeline. Blending modes are available for all
clips, and are fully keyframeable. When importing Photoshop PSD files,
blending modes are automatically carried over into Adobe Premiere
Pro.
- Dynamic Link to Encore. Save time by sending sequences
directly from Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to Adobe Encore CS4, where they
open immediately without rendering. From within Encore, open Adobe
Premiere Pro sequences, and then use the Edit Original command to make
a quick change to the sequence. Any changes you make in Adobe
Premiere Pro are automatically reflected in Encore. Encore also reads
chapter markers from the sequence, making it easy to set DVD chapter
markers in the Adobe Premiere Pro Timeline.
- Copy and paste
text between Adobe applications. Achieve the same look for text in
multiple deliverable formats. Exchange text by copying and pasting it
between other Adobe Creative Suite 4 software and the Adobe Premiere
Pro titler. The text retains all supported formatting, including font,
spacing, and styles.
For the utmost Adobe Creative Suite
integration - including expanded Dynamic Link functionality - turn to
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, which combines After
Effects CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, Adobe Illustrator CS4, and
Adobe Flash CS4 Professional software.
Enhanced editing efficiency
Work
faster with powerful and flexible editing enhancements. Adobe
Premiere Pro CS4 includes over 50 of the most requested editing
enhancements that streamline your workflow. Display search results
quickly. Apply effects to multiple selections, get timecode
information faster, speed up work in the Timeline with new keyboard
shortcuts, and much more.
Powerful management of projects, sequences, and clips
Find
content quickly and efficiently by typing what you're looking for
into the Search box in the Effects, Project, or Metadata panel, and
see results update instantly as you type. Manage projects more
efficiently by saving file-location preferences on a per-project
basis, making it easier to set up partitions for particular projects.
Update assets in your project quickly as newer versions become
available by replacing files in the Project panel; when replacing
assets, all clip instances of that media update automatically. Combine
content from multiple projects easily with the ability to import
sequences from other projects. Choose any combination of sequences to
import; Adobe Premiere Pro includes all nested sequences, helping to
ensure that all content is imported successfully.
Pick up
projects where you left them, without having to adjust the user
interface--the workspace configuration is saved with each project,
making it easy to work efficiently. You can now select any combination
of sequences for trimming, to avoid trimming redundant content in the
Project Manager.
Only the portions of the offline clips used
in a sequence are included in the trimmed project, so when you
subsequently recapture the offline clips, only the portions used are
recaptured. Mix content even more freely in your project with
different editing and rendering settings for each sequence in your
project; manage your assets easily by collecting all sequences into a
single project; and output multiple versions from HD masters quickly
using nested sequences with different settings.
Create workspace
configurations using Project-panel column configurations optimized
for the task at hand. For example, set up different columns for
logging and for editing.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 lets you delete
individual preview files, making it easy to reclaim disk space. Keep
the preview files you need, and discard the ones you don't.
Superior editing control
Use
Track Sync Lock controls to select which tracks remain in sync after
ripple and insert edits. Display source content of clips, route
channels to specific destination tracks in the Timeline, and toggle
video or audio channels on or off as needed with source-content
controls. Place clips exactly where you want them when dragging to the
Timeline.
Innovative ways to target audio and video tracks
provide multiple methods to control clip placement, saving you time
and preserving the placement of other clips in the Timeline. Drag and
drop video- or audio-only portions of clips onto any combination of
compatible destination tracks.
Timesaving editing enhancements
When
you paste multiple clips into the Timeline, the playhead jumps to the
end of the pasted clip so that subsequent clips are placed directly
after, saving you time. Create new subclips quickly and easily by
simply dragging content directly from the Timeline to the Project
panel. Place keyframes precisely within the Effect Controls panel.
As
you move them, keyframes snap to sequence markers, the playhead, clip
edges, or other video or audio keyframes. This makes it simple to
align new keyframes with existing ones. Use vertical snapping to keep
clips in sync when moving them between tracks. Easily apply the same
transition to multiple items in your project by copying and pasting
the transition. Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 applies all transition
information, while maintaining destination attributes such as
transition duration.
Use smart zoom features in the Timeline to
switch quickly between detailed and global views of your content.
Simply press a key to zoom the Timeline to show the entire contents of
your sequence, and then press another to return to the previous zoom
level.
Quickly clear all effects from one or multiple selected clips using a single command.
More options with multiple selections
Create
commonly used combinations of effects and save them in a single
preset for easy reuse. The ability to apply effects to multiple clips
in a single action helps you work more efficiently.
Make
speed/duration adjustments to multiple clips simultaneously, saving
significant time when working with large numbers of clips. You can
work more productively when using transitions by applying the default
transition to multiple selected clips with a single command. Apply
audio-gain settings to multiple selected clips in a single action,
without having to repeat for each item.
Precise audio control
Finding
specific sonic events in your audio tracks--for example, the start of
a sentence, a car door slamming, or the downbeat in your
soundtrack--is often a simple matter of looking for peaks and valleys
in their waveforms. New features in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 let you
view audio waveforms in more detail in the Source Monitor. Zoom both
channels independently or together. Navigate with precision within the
Source Monitor when working with audio-only clips.
Use the
playhead to scrub the waveform directly. Change batch capture behavior
easily by setting and adjusting audio-channel mapping for offline
clips at any time, when or after they are created. You can also
recapture offline clips as audio-only or video-only by changing
recapture settings for offline clips, without having to recapture them
first.
Robust timecode display
Precise
editing and communication with clients are facilitated by timecode.
Whether you're working with news footage gathered in the field,
telecined film footage, or clips shot on a camcorder that supports
timecode only by way of an accessory pack, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
offers you a variety of ways to display timecode.
The
source-media timecode display format acts as the default in both the
Project panel and Source Monitor. If there is no timecode or frame
rate associated with the media--say if it's a still graphic or was
shot on a camera that doesn't record timecode--Adobe Premiere Pro will
use the format specified in the Project Settings dialog box. You can
display SMPTE-style timecode or frame-count timecode that you can set
to start at frame 0 or 1.
Place items in the Timeline with
timecode accuracy by dragging and dropping them. See up-to-date
timecode information in the Info panel as you drag clips. Choose the
appropriate timecode display mode separately for each sequence in your
project. Use any supported timecode format as the timecode display
mode in the Timeline, Info panel, and Timecode controls. View
source-media information for clips in the Timeline using the Info
panel.
Enhanced keyboard-driven workflow
Point-and-click,
mouse-based operation is a simple and easy way to learn new software.
But experienced users want to navigate and control their tools as
quickly and efficiently as possible. Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 offers
complete, mouseless operation via customizable keyboard shortcuts, to
help you focus on being creative.
Use keyboard shortcuts to
browse through clips loaded in the Source Monitor tab and to save time
when moving to the start and end of clips in the Effect Controls
panel. Jump to the start and end of clips in the Timeline using
dedicated shortcuts that make clip navigation easy. You can assign
shortcuts to mark clips more quickly and to cycle forward and backward
through all the panels in the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 user interface.
Direct-to-disk recording with cross-platform, redesigned Adobe OnLocation CS4
Adobe
OnLocation CS4 gives you an impressive array of production tools to
help you shoot better and faster while saving time and money. You can
produce superior-quality results from your video camera. Quickly
calibrate the camera, monitor your footage, and check video levels by
using your workstation or laptop as a virtual (and lightweight) video
reference monitor.
See what you can't see on a camera's small
LCD viewfinder or flip-out screen, and use the comprehensive software
waveform monitor and vectorscope as well as the audio spectrum
analyzer to identify and correct image and audio problems before
committing to videotape and hard disk.
Shooting and capturing
video directly to disk lets you record a two-hour event as a single
clip, or shoot as many takes of a scene as your actors need to get it
right--no changing tapes, no solid-state memory time limits, no missed
action. It's a director's dream come true, but in the edit suite,
finding that one perfect take among dozens can be problematic.
Metadatabased project intelligence and the new Shot List panel let you
take control of this situation.
Each time you re-record a scene
to disk, a new take is automatically created that inherits the
project intelligence from the master shot. You can search by keywords
in the intelligence, or create a metadata-based text transcription of
dialogue and use the text display in the Metadata panel to click on
words and jump to the spot in the clip you're interested in.
Additionally, you can flag your selects as you capture them, making it
a snap to find them in post-production.
Adobe OnLocation CS4 is
available on Windows and Intel-based Mac systems. (Previously, Adobe
OnLocation was only for Windows, and thus required Boot Camp to run on
a Mac.) Cross-platform operation allows both Mac and Windows users to
take full advantage of the power of Adobe OnLocation on laptops or
workstations.
The completely redesigned interface puts
control of all functions on a single screen and features the familiar
look and feel of other Adobe creative applications. Shot lists and
metadata-based project intelligence save time and take the tedium out
of logging on-set and in post-production.
Project intelligence with new XMP metadata support
Metadata
is the unsung hero of an efficient workflow, and the key to the
perennial challenge of making video searchable. You have great footage,
but do you know where it was shot, who the talent is, and if you have
the rights to use it? And more important, can you--and your
viewers--find the video content that's most relevant? Adobe Premiere Pro
CS4, Adobe OnLocation CS4, and Encore CS4 deliver innovative,
industry-leading solutions that solve both problems.
Careful
planning keeps your productions on schedule and on budget. During
preproduction, block your scenes, plan camera moves, and create a shot
list to plot your shooting sequence and fill in metadata associated
with each shot. Bring your careful planning on-set by creating a shot
list in Adobe OnLocation. While you're recording footage directly to
disk, Adobe OnLocation automatically captures important metadata-based
project intelligence associated with each shot coming from the
camera. Create new takes each time you re-record, with each take
inheriting metadata from the master shot. You can even edit or add to
the metadata while you're at the shoot.
During post-production,
you can use metadata to streamline project tracking, asset auditing,
and many other formerly tedious manual tasks in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
and Encore CS4, as well as in Adobe Soundbooth CS4, After Effects
CS4, and Adobe Flash CS4 Professional software. Best of all, as other
workgroup members modify files and assets, metadata-based project
intelligence associated with each media asset can be edited and
updated in real time during the normal course of production.
Save
even more time by eliminating the need to hunt from folder to folder
to track down assets. Metadata makes your assets searchable within the
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Timeline, so you can locate assets and clips
by filename, date, time, camera setting such as resolution or frame
rate, shot location, or any other search term you've added to your
asset or clip.
Speech Search makes dialogue in your video assets searchable
Whether
you start your production with a script or assemble your narrative in
the editing suite, you can use powerful new Speech Search technology
in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to turn spoken dialogue into text-based
metadata that makes your video searchable. This new capability solves
one of the biggest challenges in taking video online by automatically
turning any spoken word into a keyword that points precisely to the
places in a clip where the word is spoken.
This unleashes
considerable power, for both post-production professionals and all of
us who watch video online. During the editing process, creative
professionals can use Speech Search to quickly find the relevant
points in a particular clip, or easily locate the right clip based on
what gets said in it. Equally important, the time-accurate text that
corresponds to spoken words is embedded in the output you render from
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, so your video is searchable by other tools
that can read XMP metadata, such as search and indexing engines.
In
Adobe Premiere Pro, Speech Search can significantly speed the
time-consuming process of wading through large quantities of footage to
find the relevant clips. For example, you can quickly find all of the
clips in a project that contain a particular word, or the opening
lines of a scene from the script you're shooting, by searching from
the Project panel.
Once you've narrowed your search, you can
search within a particular clip for a word or phrase by using the
Source Monitor, or you can skim the preliminary transcript that
appears in the Metadata panel. Both approaches are significantly faster
than manually scrubbing through a clip to find, for example, the spot
in a long interview where the subject talks about a transformative
trip to Zambia. Additionally, you can tab from word to word in the
Metadata panel to make edits while ensuring that text remains
synchronized to the spoken word.
Industry-leading Blu-ray Disc output
Adobe
Encore CS4 software is a versatile, interactive authoring tool for
video distribution that allows you to deliver your high-definition work
complete with advanced functions such as pop-up menus, subtitles, and
more to clients or consumers on standard-definition DVDs and
high-definition Blu-ray Discs. Save time during the authoring workflow
by sending sequences directly from Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to Adobe
Encore CS4, where they open immediately without intermediate rendering,
using Adobe Dynamic Link.
From within Encore, open Adobe
Premiere Pro sequences and then use the Edit Original command to make a
change to the sequence. Any changes you make in Adobe Premiere Pro
are automatically reflected in Encore. Plus, Encore reads chapter
markers in the sequence.
Further streamline your authoring
workflow by using the enhanced flowchart to define and view your
project's points and links. New independent variable-zoom
functionality and the ability to see the asset's name help streamline
your disc- and SWF-file authoring workflow. See exactly what your
project is going to look like with the new FireWire Video-out feature,
and have ultimate control over your motion menu loop points.
Web versions of your DVD and Blu-ray Disc projects made easy with Adobe Encore CS4
