New Features Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS4, in combination with Adobe® OnLocation™ CS4, and Adobe® Encore® CS4, makes every step of video production more efficient. They provide tools for every step, from on-location capture, through post-production, to final delivery. These products run either on Windows or Mac OS. Here's a quick look at some of the new features.
New tapeless camera support
Take advantage of the efficiency of tapeless cameras. Edit files from the latest tapeless formats natively, including AVCHD, P2, and XDCAM EX, without transcoding or rewrapping. With the integrated Media Browser, you can browse your hard disks from inside Adobe© Premiere© Pro, find footage, and then import the content directly into your Adobe® Premiere® Pro project.
Batch encoding
Save time by automating the process of creating multiple encoded versions of your content using the new batch encoder. 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. Maximize your productivity by continuing to work while files encode in the background.
Improved integration
Tighter-than-ever integration among Adobe ®Premiere® Pro, Adobe® OnLocation®, Encore®, and Soundbooth™ ensure end-to-end workflows that are smooth and efficient. The innovative Adobe© Dynamic Link allows you to move seamlessly among Adobe® Premiere® Pro and Encore® eliminating intermediate rendering so you can work quickly and stay focused. Save rendering time by natively importing Photoshop® PSD files with video and blend modes, sharing more effects with After Effects®, and importing video sequences in Encore without having to encode them. With new Adobe® Premiere® Pro integration in Adobe OnLocation, you can send entire shot lists directly to Adobe® Premiere® Pro, complete with all the metadata that was logged during the shoot. Export interactive DVD elements created with Encore as SWF files for online viewing.
Improved editing efficiency
Work faster with powerful and flexible editing enhancements. Adobe® Premiere® Pro includes over 50 of the most requested enhancements that make the editing workflow more efficient. Apply effects to multiple selections, get timecode information faster, speed up work in the timeline with new keyboard shortcuts, and much more.
Speech Search
Quickly find the specific area of a shot by searching for keywords within the content. Adobe® Premiere® Pro speech recognition technology converts your audio to a transcript and synchronizes it to the video. This allows you to go directly to the place of interest, and even cut video based on the script.5 USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS4 Resources
