If you originate on or deliver to 16mm or 35mm film, Premiere Pro 2.0 lets you choose whichever time reference system makes editing and conforming easiest for you. Built-in conversion capabilities help bridge the two worlds by providing optional Feet + Frames timecode display (in addition to video SMPTE) for captured footage. Film and video may be in different formats, but they needn’t exist in different dimensions.
but apparently, that’s easier said then done, at least on the PC side of things.Ĭlearly, this upgrade addresses a whole new market and brings several film friendly features into the mix. Selfishly, as I just purchased a Panasonic HVX200 HD camcorder, I really wish there was support for DVCPRO 50 and 100 (DVCPROHD). Especially, as more and more people take a serious look at using Premiere Pro 2 for high end post production and film-out. It’s good to see Adobe flirting with top-level hardware companies. Photoshop and After Effects users can also get WYSIWYG output from the AJA card. The Xena HS card provides Premiere Pro 2.0 users with native full-resolution capture, editing and playback in HD and SD. AJA Video is in development with Adobe to deliver HD-certified, turnkey solutions as part of the Adobe OpenHD alliance. With native hardware support from industry leader AJA in its new Xena HS I/O card (available for $990), Premiere 2.0 is taking no prisoners. The customized commenting interface provides an easy way to add precise, timecode-accurate comments to content, directly in Reader or Acrobat. Then, when the file containing these remarks is sent back and imported into the sequence, the comments appear as clip markers at the appropriate timecode locations in the timeline.Ĭool, eh? Straightforward and efficient, Clip Notes facilitates collaboration, expedites the review and approval process, and takes the pain out of keeping everyone on the same page. Remarks can be entered at the exact point at which the video is paused. Whenever the reviewer pauses the video, the current timecode is automatically entered into the comment box.
The file is then sent to the reviewer, who plays it back with Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader software - no matter if they’re on a Mac or PC.
A sequence can be exported as a PDF file with embedded or streamed video in either Windows Media or QuickTime. Flexible menu-design tools help ensure that your DVD output looks its best.Īnd here’s a bonus feature that might just change your entire workflow: The Client-Approval process can be a time-consuming pain in the aspersorium, right? Well, Adobe Clip Notes streamlines this process with an elegant solution based on two easy, accessible technologies: email and the Adobe PDF file format. I found the video encoding to be super-clean, and with just enough options for me to get the quality and file sizes I needed. Without leaving the application, you can burn menu-based or auto play full-resolution DVDs directly from a sequence in the timeline, with markers recognized as chapter points. New built-in DVD output capabilities make it easy and efficient to take advantage of DVD quality and convenience - not only for final delivery, but also for quick client reviews, test discs and even digital dailies.
did I mention the Premiere horse is gone? Yeah, sad but true.the Black beauty has galloped off into the sunset of drop frame timecode. Now we can all leverage layered files between these widely used applications.
yes, I said Acrobat, but I’ll get to that later. With the Studio package, you take advantage of the unparalleled integration with Adobe’s After Effects, Photoshop and even Acrobat. which in my opinion, is really the only way to go. Premiere Pro 2.0 software is available as a stand-alone product or as a component in Adobe Production Studio, what they are calling “a complete post production environment”. With significant enhancements in productivity and film support, it delivers deeper creative control and grants access to the latest digital formats, including HDV, HD and Flash Video. The latest release of Adobe Premiere Pro is knocking on studio doors. Native hardware support for Xena HS I/O Production Suite Premium is $1,699 and Production Suite Standard is $1,199. Existing Premiere users can upgrade for $199.
