Product Description
Adobe Premiere 6.0 is a powerful and surprisingly easy-to-use professional video editing tool. This latest version comfortably closes the DV-to-Web gap, with new support for DV on the Windows platform and cross-platform support for all of the leading Web-video formats.
Premiere 6.0 provides direct support for IEEE 1394 (FireWire/I-Link) on both Windows and Mac OS. Using only the DV port on your hard drive, an IEEE 1394 connection, and your DV camcorder, you get perfect digital video in
Premiere every time.
Adobe Premiere offers built-in support for all types of DV devices, ranging from consumer to professional. By simply connecting a DV device to the IEEE 1394 port on a Windows or Macintosh computer, you can capture DV clips and begin editing right away. On a computer with an IEEE 1394 port, there's no need to install additional hardware such as a video capture card. Just select the appropriate DV device manufacturer and model in the Device Control dialog box, and Adobe
Premiere assigns the video input settings appropriate to that device, making the video capture process more precise.
Premiere's Movie Capture window now includes a Settings tab and a Logging tab. Using the Settings tab, you can view and edit video capture settings, change the capture location, and set device control preferences. Using the Logging tab, you can quickly log video clips, set In and Out points, name clips and reels, effortlessly batch-capture multiple logged video clips, and add comments about each clip.
Premiere 6.0 includes three plug-ins (automatically installed) for exporting an individual clip, a segment of the Timeline or the entire program to a Web-optimised file format. When you have finished editing your video program, select one of the following Web export options: Save for Web, Advanced RealMedia Export, or Windows Media Export (Windows only). Choosing one of these options opens the respective plug-in dialog box, in which you can specify your exported file format information. The Save for Web menu command exports the Timeline directly into a special version of Terran Interactive's Media Cleaner software, customised especially for Premiere. With Advanced Windows Media Export, you can take advantage of a wide range of formatting options for the most precise output control in the Windows Media format. Advanced RealMedia Export provides precise output control, thereby offering greater flexibility. RealMedia files (containing both RealVideo and RealAudio) can be streamed from the Web or downloaded to a hard disk and played using the RealPlayer application. Also included in this release is the ability to embed Web markers in your video files; these markers could include links to HTML pages or to chapters in a QuickTime movie or DVD. Using these markers, you can develop streaming videos that automatically launch Web pages at precise points during playback. You can specify a frame target to designate where the Web content will appear.
Other new features in 6.0 include a professional audio mixing tool, a new Storyboard window with an Automate to Timeline command, enhanced Monitor and Timeline windows, and improved project management. For added power and functionality, Premiere 6.0 offers better effect support, the ability to create customizable workspaces, and complete integration with other Adobe applications like Photoshop, After Effects, and Go Live.
