Adobe Premiere® Pro CS3 is now available for both Windows and Mac OS X. Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, in combination with Adobe® OnLocation™ and Adobe® Encore® CS3, makes every step of video production more efficient; from on-location capture, through post-production, to final delivery: on-disk, on-line and on mobile devices. Here's a quick look at some of the new features that help make Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 an integral part of Adobe's comprehensive solution for even the most demanding productions.

Adobe® OnLocation now included

Eliminate the capture process by recording SD and HD video directly from your camera to a laptop or workstation. Instantly review any shot. Log clips during your shoot. Maximize camera image quality during shoots by calibrating your camera, checking levels, and monitoring your signal. Avoid problems and improve quality on location with the virtual reference monitor, comprehensive waveform monitor, vectorscope, and audio spectrum analyzer. Save tape and save time with Adobe OnLocation. (Requires Bootcamp for Mac OS.)

Adobe® Encore® CS3 now included

Create DVDs and take advantage of Blu- ray Disc technology using Adobe Encore CS3, now included with Adobe Premiere Pro. Work with the same Encore authoring interface and features used to create standard-definition DVDs. Author once, deliver twice: Automatically convert HD Blu-ray Disc projects into standard-definition DVDs.

High quality slow motion with time remapping

Create dramatic slow and fast motion effects without exporting clips to another application. The Time Remapping effect gives precise keyframe control, real-time feedback, and advanced frame-blending quality. You can change speed slowly or quickly, and even make a clip run backwards before resuming normal forward motion. With the Time Warp effect borrowed from After Effects, you can generate even better in-between frames through pixel-motion analysis. The Clip Speed effect has also been improved, with high-quality de-interlacing borrowed from After Effects.

Other new effects

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 includes the Color Key effect borrowed from After Effects. This is now the preferred effect for chromakey. Also, in the effects folders, you will find a Difference Matte effect, a Dip To White transition, and six new audio filters: Chorus, DeClicker, DeCrackler, Flanger, Phaser, and SpectralDeNoiser. For more information on using Dip To White, watch the online training video on the Total Training website.

Publish DVD projects to the web

With one click, easily create Adobe Flash® versions of DVD and Blu-ray Disc projects for publishing to the web. Use Encore, included with Adobe Premiere Pro, to create Flash content, complete with DVD interactivity and menus, without learning Flash programming.

Smart File Search

Find files faster with search tools that instantly update their results lists as you type. Sort and organize assets into multiple project panels, each with its own graphical or text view setting. Manage your project and its assets with greater ease and efficiency.

Improved editing efficiency

Work faster with powerful and flexible editing tools. No more waiting for audio to render when working with nested sequences. Replace any clip in the timeline with a new clip while preserving the replaced clip's attributes, filters, and settings.

Output for mobile devices

Make your video viewable on the latest delivery platforms. Encode video for delivery to cell phones, portable media players, and other mobile devices. Check playback through emulations of the interface, screen size, and data rate of specific popular devices. Download profile updates to simulate the latest devices as they are released.

Flash Video export with markers converted to cue points

Encode video and audio for Flash projects and web playback with direct Flash Video (FLV) export. Adobe Premiere Pro timeline markers become Flash cue points that trigger interactivity and navigation. Create Flash Video with ease.

Broader format editing support

Edit the progressive HDV formats and frame rates found in new cameras from Canon, Sony, and JVC. Saving time, Adobe Premiere Pro indexes HDV files during capture, rather than after.

Edit MXF files imported from P2 media.

Work with emerging camera formats through the wide range of third-party products, both software and hardware, optimized to work with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.

Broader support of keyboard shortcuts

You can map keyboard shortcuts to bring focus to any panel, and use a keyboard shortcut to load a clip from the Project panel into the Source Monitor. You can select clips, load them into the Source monitor, mark their In and Out points, and drop them into any spot in the timeline, all without touching the mouse.
