The upcoming new version of Adobe Premiere PRO.

Since Adobe announced the new version of it’s products, here in Krama post production studio we’re kinda anxious of laying our hands on these sweets! Pretty obvious you say! Well yeah cause Adobe implements several new features along with some major bug (?) fixes. Lets talk about the new Premiere Pro CS4.

The major advantage in my opinion is the batch export or batch encoding as Adobe states (hope that we can batch export several timelines to avi not only mpg,wmv,etc). Although Premiere versions prior PRO had this feature, for a mysterious reason (only Adobe knows why) Premiere PRO versions didn’t allow to export several timelines in batch. At last we can.

Another advantage is the full support of x64 WinXP & Vista 64. At last the barrier of 3Gb RAM is surpassed since Microsoft launched the x64 WinXp & Vista, but Premiere CS3 sometimes work sometimes don’t. Patience all you x64 enthusiasts…October 2008 is your lucky month!

Now let’s go deeper.

Adobe Premiere PRO CS4 implements some great new features such as:

Speech Search, where you can turn spoken dialogue into text-based, timecode-accurate, searchable metadata. The User can search for keywords within the dialogue, and then use keywords to quickly locate and display what he’s looking for ? or even cut video based on the script.

Tapeless camera support, where you can edit video natively in the latest tapeless formats, including AVCHD, P2, XDCAM EX, and XDCAM HD, without transcoding or rewrapping. The user can browse the drives and removable media from inside Adobe Premiere Pro to find, log, and import footage.

BluRay authoring support with the new version of Encore, redesigned Adobe OnLocation CS4, and more.
