HDV, and DV-every major standard and high-definition video format
(including DV, Digital Betacam, HDV, HDCAM, and D5) is within your
reach, with no compromise on quality, features, or performance.
That means you’re free to work with whatever media best meets your
requirements in terms of budget, creative expectations, and intended
delivery medium.

Native HD and SD support
Using the AJA Xena HS real-time encoding card, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0
captures from and lays off to any HD-SDI VTR or device. With six
channels of AES and embedded audio I/O, plus full-resolution
SD and HD playback, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and AJA Xena HS combine to
provide a complete, full-featured capture and delivery solution for all
HD and SD formats. Whether capturing from or laying
back to Digi-Beta or D5, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and the AJA Xena HS are
the perfect combination to
accommodate diverse post-production workflows.

Native HDV editing
Putting HD resolution within reach of even the most modest budget, HDV has rapidly become a popular
acquisition format. With Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 you now have a full-featured editing environment
for HDV with support for logging, batch capture, trimming, and editing in native HDV format so there
is no conversion or quality loss. Plus, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 supports the most popular HDV-format
cameras and VTRs, including the most popular Sony and JVC models.

HD Proxy editing
Save disk space and boost rendering speed with full-featured editing of low-bandwidth fi les. With proxy
editing, progress on your high-resolution projects can continue even when you are working away from
high-end, video-optimized machines. Low-bandwidth proxy files allow HD and SD projects to be edited
on laptops and other general-purpose machines, giving full real-time features and performance without
overwhelming the hard drive or the CPU. A proxy file may be used whether the master clip is online or
offl ine, allowing for a choice in scaling the workfl ow and system performance while you edit. When the
master clip is offl ine, you can later re-link the master to the proxy or recaptured at full resolution.

Feet + Frames timecode
Film and video may be different formats, but they needn’t exist in
different dimensions. Built-in conversion
capabilities help bridge the two worlds by providing optional Feet +
Frames timecode display (in addition to video SMPTE) for captured
footage. If you originate on or deliver to 16mm or 35mm film,
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 lets you choose whichever time reference system
makes editing and conforming
easiest.

Support for 4096 x 4096 frames
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 handles images with dimensions up to 4096 x 4096
pixels. That means you can import, edit, and output image sequences at
the 2K and 4K resolutions often used for online feature-film work.

16×9 preview to 4×3
Need to confirm that your widescreen footage still looks right when played back on a standard 4×3
monitor? With new real-time letterboxing in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, you can see immediately how
16×9 material will play back on a 4×3 monitor, or you can layoff to a 4×3 tape or DVD for viewing in a
variety of situations.

Exceptional digital intermediate workflow
Digital editing of film-originated material shouldn’t require making do
with awkward compromises.
That’s why Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 is fully film-aware in both its
interface and features, offering the
ability to edit 4K scanned files, effortlessly work between Adobe After
Effects and Adobe Photoshop, efficiently consolidate and manage
projects, save disk space with HD proxy editing, maintain high-quality
throughout the process with 32-bit internal color processing, and
finish by delivering an HD master for
film out.

Professional VTR Device Control Support
Accurately control professional analog and digital video devices with Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. Device
control support has been expanded to include native control of video decks and other hardware using
industry-standard RS-422 and RS-232 serial protocols. Using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 you can now
batch capture, recapture, and insert edit by simply connecting these professional VTRs to a computer’s
COM port with a standard 9-pin serial cable.

Professional video hardware support
With an open architecture, Adobe Premiere Pro is able to easily provide support for new formats and
hardware as they become available. Choose from a wide range of capture cards and other hardware
today to build the HD, SD, and DV editing system that meets your needs and budget. And work with
confidence knowing that broad support for external hardware vendors means your choices when confi guring
an editing system based on Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 will continue to expand.

Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 delivers a comprehensive and powerful set of
professional editing tools to help ensure you have what you need to
tell your story effectively and creatively. Unparalleled integration
with
applications like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects enables you
to work effortlessly in a consistent, unified environment that delivers
superior post-production efficiencies. With new support for
multi-cam editing, enhanced color support, and GPU-accelerated
rendering, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 makes it easy to bring your ideas to
the screen quickly and then refine your work with state-of-the-art
editing and effects tools.

Adobe Photoshop integration
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 offers the tightest possible workflow integration with Adobe Photoshop, maximizing
the effi ciency with which still images can be incorporated into video production. Now you can
instantly edit Adobe Premiere Pro stills in Photoshop, and automatically match the frame size and aspect
ratio of an Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 project – even in HD – when creating new files.

Adobe Dynamic Link with Adobe After Effects (Adobe Production Studio only)
In the past, when incorporating visual effects into a video edit, updating content to address client feedback
and other changes was tedious. Changes made in After Effects would have to be carefully managed
in your editing timeline and then re-rendered and re-imported, resulting in an ineffi cient and timeconsuming
workfl ow. Adobe Production Studio offers a compelling alternative: the ability to create live
links between projects in After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. Dynamic Link eliminates the need to
render an After Effects composition before importing it into your Adobe Premiere Pro timeline. All of
the After Effects layers remain accessible, and changes made in After Effects can be previewed instantly,
without the need to render a movie first. This allows you to make changes quickly and to render only
when you finalize your results.

Adobe After Effects Integration
After Effects projects can now be exported as Adobe Premiere Pro projects, maintaining folders as bins,
individual edits, markers, keyframed effects, nested sequences, transitions, and more. Effects can be
applied in one application and rendered in another; for example, you can make adjustments in Adobe
Premiere Pro using the 3-Way Color Corrector and render that effect at higher color depth in After Effects.
You can also initiate the process of capturing footage in Adobe Premiere Pro within After Effects
(Production Studio only).

Tighter Integration with Adobe Audition
For more fl exibility when editing audio in your production, you can now select any audio clip-regardless
of its source -and send it to Adobe Audition 2.0 for editing using the Edit in Adobe Audition command.

Adobe Bridge
Adobe Bridge brings the files in your project into one central command center, making it faster and
easier to access and manage video and audio files, native Photoshop and Illustrator files, and Adobe
After Effects projects. Efficiently organize, browse, preview, and locate your content fi les. Drag-and-drop
the fi les you want directly from Adobe Bridge into your current project. Within Adobe Bridge, you can
also run batch processes and handle a wide range of common tasks such as creating new folders, renaming,
moving, or deleting files.

Adobe Bridge minimizes disruption to your creative flow because it
makes it easy to find exactly what
you want. Using industry-standard XMP metadata, you can make complex
searches based on very specific criteria. You can add metadata to your
files and view that information in Adobe Bridge without
having to open the file, and metadata can include everything from
digital image capture information
to copyright status and keywords. Easily edit metadata for any content
file, or multiple files at once. For
sets of metadata values you use often, you can create and save metadata
templates for fast application to
content files.

To make more on-screen space available, you can toggle Adobe Bridge to a compact mode, reducing
it to a floating palette for easy access at any time. Numerous views of assets-including Thumbnails,
Filmstrip, and Details-are also included, and you can resize previews with a simple slider control. With
Adobe Bridge, the files you need are always at your fingertips.

Redesigned user interface with panels that dock and group
Work with a redesigned user interface that’s fully customizable. Tools, palettes, and menus are familiar
and consistent with those in other Adobe video tools, and keyboard shortcuts remain fully customizable.
Plus, you can now confi gure your workspace with tabbed panels that automatically resize and reconfigure
themselves, saving valuable screen space and minimizing wasted time. Grouping allows you to collect
panels together and manage them as a single, tabbed set; docking lets you lock such sets together in
any order you like, leaving no wasted screen real estate. You can also create fl oating windows – containing
multiple grouped or docked panels – that hover over your main window. This can be particularly
useful when working with multiple monitors.

Multicam editing
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 opens access to a whole new level of professional production by supporting the
editing of multiple-camera shoots. The new quad-view monitor provides simultaneous display of up
to four synced source tracks plus a real-time preview of the switched output. Drop into Record mode
and you’ll be able to switch between source tracks in real time to create a sequence containing the edited
footage from each of the cameras. Making adjustments is easy, simply record the desired changes and
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 updates your edited sequence automatically. The clips can then be edited as
usual with any effects, titles, and other tools available in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0.

Enhanced color support
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 introduces numerous enhancements that ensure the color in your video productions
is as true to life as possible.

Primary and secondary color correction
Use primary and secondary color correction tools to match shots, change colors, correct exposure errors,
and modify highlights, midtones, and shadows across clips, sequences, or entire projects. Whether
working with 8-bit, 10-bit or 16-bit source material, the powerful new color correction tools process
your changes at 32-bit resolution for maximum color fi delity.

10-bit video and 16-bit PSD fi le support
With native support for 10-bit video fi les and 16-bit PSD files, you can maintain the integrity of your
source material throughout your project.

32-bit internal color processing
With 32-bit internal color processing, maximum image quality is maintained throughout your project.
Changes to color, contrast, and exposure-from subtle to dramatic-are precise and smooth, without
the visible banding and histogram spikes introduced by lower bit-depth processing.

Professional internal scopes
With both a Waveform monitor and a Vectorscope built in, Adobe Premiere
Pro 2.0 has the technical
tools you need for critical luma and color-level management. Luma and
chroma levels can now be monitore
on every line with 32-bit resolution, and Vectorscope magnifi cation
may be toggled between 75% and 100%. You can also display Waveform IRE
information in standard, YCbCr Parade, RGB Parade, or
combined modes. At any time during previewing your video in Adobe
Premiere Pro 2.0, the viewing
mode can easily be toggled between different scope views.

GPU-accelerated rendering
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 lets you tap into the power of the Graphics Processing Unit in today’s powerful
graphics cards. GPU-enabled systems will also be able to take advantage of accelerated previewing and
rendering of motion, opacity, color, and image-distortion effects. If your system supports GPU, you’ll
have access to five additional transitions that use GPU’s 3D processing capabilities: Center-Peel, Page
Curl, Page Roll, Sphere, and Card Flip.

Advanced subclip creation and editing
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 allows video clips to be split into smaller individual subclips that reference only
the designated portion of a master clip. Subclips help keep your project size manageable and your system
performance responsive, and they make editing more fl exible because you can work with them just
as you would any master clip, including trimming, applying effects, and renaming.

Superior audio editing in an NLE
The audio capabilities in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 – unequaled by any
other video editor – now allowthe application of multiple effects to
audio clips or tracks. Adobe Premiere Pro even includes a set of
VST-format plug-ins that will get you started on audio enhancement
right out of the box.

Enhanced video and audio filters and
effects
The Adobe Premiere Pro environment offers a rich array of tools that
can restore, and improve video, graphics, and audio. Hundreds of
high-quality production and design filters and effects are included,
many of which are either new or enhanced for Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0.

Lighting effects filter
The new Lighting Effects fi lter in Adobe Premiere Pro applies spot,
directional, or omni lights right
where they’re needed, creating special lighting effects or correcting
and enhancing footage with less than-perfect lighting. Multiple layers
of lighting effects may be used to vary lighting within a scene,
introducing different looks in different locations.

Advanced keyframe controls
The addition of editable keyframe graphs in the Effects Control panel gives Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 users
the ability to fine-tune effects with precision. The graphs display value and velocity information and
allow fi ne adjustments to effects parameters by simply dragging handles placed at keyframes.

Scrolling timeline
Adobe Premiere Pro now offers a choice of how the timeline is displayed relative to your clips during
previews. Set the timeline to Smooth Scroll mode to see it move past a stationary indicator refl ecting the
current playback location. Or choose Page Scroll mode to see the timeline advance by one screen each
time the playback indicator reaches the edge of the window. Either way, no matter how detailed a timeline
view you choose, the timeline window always indicates the current location in the sequence.

Animated track-matte workflow
Track-matte clips in Adobe Premiere Pro now support the use of effects and animation, allowing easy
creation of traveling mattes. Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 automatically disables only the portion of a track
that is used in a track-matte, allowing the track’s other clips to be processed normally.

Integrated titling tool
The Titler in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 is more tightly integrated than ever before delivering fl exible text,
drawing, and editing tools that allow design of sophisticated text and graphical titles either from scratch
or from professional templates. Titles can now be saved directly into your project file, and as always, can
be saved as user-defi nable styles for reuse in the same or other projects. You’ll save time by being able to
see your designs in context and refine your ideas without ever leaving Adobe Premiere Pro.

Now that it’s done, where can you play it? With Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, the answer is “everywhere.”
Whether your delivery target is the Web, DVD, tape, fi lm, or digital cinema, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0
helps you leverage your editing investment across more playback platforms, giving you precise, fl exible,
and complete control of your fi nal output options. Plus, workfl ow innovations like automated review
and approval facilitate and streamline everyday tasks, keeping your projects on the fast track without
keeping you from your core mission. Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 also makes it easy to send both media and
metadata to other video, fi lm, and audio applications, making it more effi cient to take a single project in
multiple directions.

Adobe Clip Notes
Getting fast, to-the-point feedback from clients is a crucial part of successful production, but it can also
be a time-consuming chore. Adobe Clip Notes streamlines the process with an elegant solution based
on two easy, accessible technologies: email and the Adobe PDF fi le format. A sequence can be exported
as a PDF file with embedded or streamed video in either Windows Media or QuickTime. The file is
then sent to the client, who plays it back with Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader software. Whenever
they pause the video, the current timecode is automatically entered into the comment box, enabling the
reviewer to enter remarks at the exact time in which the video is paused. 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. Straightforward and efficient, Adobe Clip Notes facilitates
collaboration, expedites the review and approval process, and takes the pain out of keeping everyone in
the loop.

DVD output from the Timeline
New built-in DVD output capabilities make it easy and efficient to take advantage of DVD’s quality
and convenience not only for fi nal delivery, but also for quick client reviews, test discs, and even digital
dailies. Without leaving the application, you can burn menu-based or autoplay full-resolution DVDs
directly from a sequence in the timeline, with markers recognized as chapter points. Adobe Premiere Pro
2.0 includes top-quality video encoding and flexible menu-design tools to help ensure that your DVDdelivered
material looks its best.

Export image sequence files
The ability to create numbered image sequences with any frame size up to 4096 x 4096 pixels makes
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 the ideal tool for editing and preparing sequences for output to 35mm and
other fi lm formats. Output for film recording or file sharing is supported in all major image and sequence
fi le formats, including AI, BMP, PSD, TGA, and TIFF.

Output uncompressed HD
Lay off full-resolution uncompressed HD to HD-SDI VTRs and other devices using the Xena HS realtime
encoding card from AJA Video. Native support allows you to capture and playback uncompressed
8-bit and 10-bit 4:2:2 SD (720×486) and HD (1920×1080) video at the frame rates 23.98, 50i, 60i.

Standard video format export
Output to major tape formats including standard and high defi nition, NTSC and PAL, interlaced and
progressive, DV, Digital Betacam, HDV, HDCAM, DVCPRO HD, and D5HD.

AAF and EDL import/export
Exchange project metadata with major video, film, and audio applications via industry-standard Advanced
Authoring Format (AAF), AAF with Edit Protocol, and Edit Decision List (EDL) files.
