Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, Mac

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, Mac, DVD Native tapeless editing workflow for Sony XDCAM and Panasonic P2 formats

Import and edit content from Sony XDCAM and Panasonic P2 equipment natively, without transcoding or rewrapping. Deliver content quickly and efficiently with true native editing directly from XDCAM EX and P2 media. Or copy files to the hard drive to take full advantage of your system’s speed. Adobe Premiere Pro retains key metadata from the XDCAM and P2 media, making it available within the project window. Editors can mix other file formats freely within the Adobe Premiere Pro timeline, combining content from multiple sources. Finally, export your work to P2 to allow playback on P2 equipment.

Create high-quality visual and editorial effects directly within the editing timeline. Generate slow motion and other time-remapping effects with precise keyframe control and real-time feedback. Add color correction, lighting and other effects, audio filters, and more with fast, flexible, built-in tools. Edit footage from multicam shoots with ease and precision.

Work faster with powerful and flexible editing tools. Play video with nested audio sequences in real time without rendering. Replace any clip in the timeline with a new clip while preserving the replaced clip’s editing attributes and settings. Use shortcuts to switch between workspace panels and save time.
