If you're exploring the exciting new visual possibilities of DSLR video, Adobe® Creative Suite® 5 Production Premium software, available for Mac OS and Windows®, is there with you step for step. Native support for DSLR cameras in Adobe Premiere® Pro CS5 lets you begin editing HD video immediately, with no need for file format conversions or long render times. You can drop clips from your memory card directly into the Adobe Premiere Pro timeline — there's no waiting to import — and the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine lets you mix footage, file formats, and frame rates on multiple tracks with real-time playback performance.

Native support for DSLR cameras

Native support for DSLR cameras

Do in seconds what can take hours in other software when you're editing video from the latest DSLR cameras. Adobe Premiere Pro directly reads and edits the original camera files, meaning no transcoding, no rewrapping, no proxy files to track, and less disk space used.

On-scene footage checks

Get better footage more efficiently by dropping clips straight from your camera's memory card onto the Adobe Premiere Pro timeline. While you're at the shoot, see how clips will cut together and check video quality using the waveform monitor and vectorscope built into Adobe Premiere Pro.

Mix DSLR footage with other formats in an open timeline

Support for mixing a variety of formats

Freely mix clips in multiple formats and with different frame rates, aspect ratios, and frame sizes, all in the same sequence, with real-time preview quality on most systems. Adobe Premiere Pro supports the latest tapeless formats.

Industry-leading, cross-platform performance

Accelerate post-production with native 64-bit performance in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects® CS5, and Photoshop® CS5 Extended. The native 64-bit, multicore, GPU-accelerated Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere Pro provides unprecedented performance, letting you open projects quickly and create multilayer, effects-rich sequences without rendering.

Create high-quality visual and editing effects directly within the timeline using the extensive effects in Adobe Premiere Pro. Color correct, apply audio filters, and use advanced options like real-time blending modes, advanced keyframes, and Bezier curves.

Efficient editing with metadata

Speech Search and Face Detection technology offer two ways to automatically jump to or edit footage based on dialog or dialog-derived keywords.
