Revision history without Creative Suite

Premiere 1.0

Premiere 1.0 began in the early 1990s as a niche product, since normal home computer with playing videos were even in low resolution, overwhelmed. Only in 1995 with distribution of the Intel Pentium, RAM from 16MB and hard drives with multi-gigabyte capacity and sufficient data transfer rate video editing was made possible with VHS and later S- VHS quality with a PC.

Premiere was sold in this period both the full version and in a very limited light version ( Premiere LE) bundled with video capture cards. Here's an inexpensive upgrade was possible to the full version. This led to the situation that the LE version with the add-in card was cheaper along with the upgrade than individually buying full version without map.

Premiere 4.0

From 1994, the V4 ( later 4.2) was sold, which was distributed almost a monopoly in amateur or multimedia. This version was characterized by exceptionally high stability. It remained unchanged until 1998. At this time she was completely outdated and not adapted to new developments such as DV cameras, CD burners and the Internet. A more recent competitor of the Taiwanese company Ulead Media Studio Pro 5.0, with easier operation and better effects, but also with more modern surface design took significant market share from Premiere.

Premiere 5.0

Adobe was forced to program in a hurry, a new version, to make it even to present at CeBIT 1998. Therefore Premiere 5.0 was so extremely unstable that continuous work with the program was impossible. In the space of a few weeks three updates were brought out, first through the third one at least adequate fall protection was achieved. The reputation Adobe as a software producer, however, was severely damaged at this time. Although in the aftermath of the source code has been programmed in other versions according to Adobe completely new, Premiere still remained comparatively unstable. These problems difficult for a long time also the introduction to the newly launched Premiere Pro.

Premiere 6.5

Since the video editing was uncomplicated with better home computers and the proliferation of DV cameras to the computer, Premiere had to deal in the late 1990s, with increasing competition, especially since the then available premiere 6.5 no opportunity arose, DV movies in RAW format directly from to import a camcorder without detours via the lossy AVI codec in Premiere to edit it and then convert them to common DVDs for MPEG- 2 format. For the latter were necessary plugins from third-party manufacturers. Furthermore lacked the version 6.5 is the possibility to edit the films in the YCbCr color model. Adobe addressed the program away from the low-price segment to the use in multimedia applications and for smaller video producers.

Version History with Creative Suite

The modifier " CS " stands for Creative Suite and describes a compiled package from Adobe different, separate programs. Since Premiere Pro has never been part of such a package to Creative Suite 3, the labels are only CS1 and CS2 in brackets around a chronology produce to other Adobe programs.

( Premiere 7.0 ) / Premiere Pro 1.0 / (CS1 )

To underline this claim in marketing, Premiere from version 7.0 in Premiere Pro 1.0 has been renamed, Premiere Pro CS3 corresponds to version 9.0, but is internally managed as per 3.0 ( 1.0 to 6.5 Premiere / Premiere Pro 1.0/1.5/2.0/3.0 ).

( Premiere 7.5) / Premiere Pro 1.5 / (CS1 )

Some updates, such as HDV editing, have been introduced.

( Premiere 8.0 ) / Premiere Pro 2.0 / (CS2 )

In the professional film and television production, the ubiquity of Adobe Premiere Pro takes since version 1.5, and especially since the version of Premiere Pro 2.0.

( Premiere 9.0 ) / Premiere Pro 3.0 / CS3

For sufficient working speed with the version CS3, a dual -core processor and at least 1GB of RAM for smaller DV editing projects is recommended, when HDV editing there should be two to four GB of RAM, so that a smooth working is possible and not to much data must be stored on the hard drives. A quad-core processor with four cores increases especially the rendering speed.

Depending on the output codec you use more than four processor cores are used, which further reduces the rendering time. (eg eight-core workstation systems based on 2 x Quad Core Xeon (Mac Pro, Dell Precision, etc.) )

According to Apple's release of its own film editing software Final Cut Pro, Adobe had discontinued the development of Premiere for Mac OS for four years, but since version CS3 also a Mac version is available.

With the update to version 3.1.0 CS it is then also possible to edit in Premiere Pro DVCPRO HD and DVCPRO50 projects. DVCPRO50 offers as presets: 480 ( standard 24p, 24p Widescreen, NTSC standard, NTSC widescreen), 576 ( PAL standard, PAL Widescreen ) PVCPROHD offers as presets: 1080 ( 24p, 50i, 60i ), 720 ( 24p, 50p, 60p )

By CS Version Update 3.1.1 Fixed specifically for Apple users problems with Mac OS X 10.5 ( Leopard).

The latest update CS 3.2 improves the handling of MPEG streams ( eg HDV, dropouts are now detected directly from Premiere for import and highlighted projects created before the update must be re- indexed). The XDCAM camera series from Sony is now supported.

( Premiere 10.0) / Premiere CS4

As in the previous version are Premiere CS4 software Encore and OnLocation, respectively, in the version CS4, at. The changes were however small. The remarkable thing is the support of tapeless AVCHD format. Furthermore, falls next to the slightly modified surface, the media browser on. This allows the drives, similar to an Explorer search directly, and import files into the project or timeline.

Other new features include automatic speech recognition. With this it is possible to analyze audio material, Premiere text metadata created, which can be searched. So advertises premiere with consistently metadata -based workflow. Thus it was possible already after recording with OnLocation, to provide the clips with metadata. These can be well when cut according to specific criteria search and you can send them along to the recipient during the export. Furthermore, the workflow under the Adobe programs such as Photoshop, After Effects or Encore, has been improved by Dynamic Link. Has also been improved export media with the Adobe Media Encoder. This can now render in the background.

The output can be or are output as Flash and implemented in web pages by Device Central to many portable devices, such as mobile phone, PDA or iPod. Similarly, an export to Encore and burn a DVD is possible. By released on November 20, 2008 Update 4.0.1, it is possible to import project files from Final Cut Pro, Digidesign Pro Tools and Avid. This is also the import and export of OMF and AAF files allows. After updating to 4.2.1 also an import VOB files is possible directly from DVDs.

The version is CS4 from the Microsoft operating systems Windows XP ( 32- bit version) and Vista ( 32 -bit and 64- bit versions), as well as supported by Mac OS X version 10.4.11 to 10.5.4. It is recommended that a dual- core processor, 2GB of RAM and at least 10 gigabytes of free hard disk space.

( Premiere 11.0) / Premiere Pro CS5

For version CS5, Adobe has built the neuprogrammierte Mercury engine for rendering. This creates particularly in conjunction with multi-core processors and a CUDA-enabled NVIDIA graphics card tremendous speed benefits. Since version CS5 Premiere Pro only runs with a 64- bit operating system.

( Premiere 12.0 ) / Premiere Pro CS6

In version CS6, the user interface has been improved by the buttons can be a fade in and out, for example, in the monitor windows individually. The Warp Stabilizer to stabilize shaky shots and the principle of adjustment layers were taken from After Effects and extends the multi-camera function on an unlimited number of cameras. The Mercury Engine support for GPU acceleration now AMD graphics cards from the AMD Radeon HD 6000 series and newer.
