Studio Monthly Charlie White Mac users, Premiere is back. But this isn’t that old crash-prone and worn-out Mac Premiere from days gone by. This is now
Premiere Pro CS3, a completely re-written and supercharged video editing software app that might surprise you.
What’s New The Mac and PC versions are remarkably similar, identical in appearance and usability. There’s a new recording-to-output workflow included in the box, starting with the excellent OnLocation (which doesn’t work on the Mac unless you’re using Boot Camp and a copy of Windows XP) direct-to-hard disk digital recording and quality assurance software, new output options to Blu-ray disc using H.264 or MPEG-2 compression in Adobe Encore and an effortless way to create Flash output for Web sites or cell phones without knowing anything about Flash at all. Adobe’s interoperability with most of its other content creation applications is not new to Windows Premiere Pro users but certainly a concept with no equal on the Mac platform. Adobe’s unique Dynamic Link technology lets you make changes in other Adobe applications using the same project, and then those changes show up immediately in other applications with no rendering required. The concept extends beyond the applications included with Premiere Pro, such as the ability to easily edit audio files in the new and user-friendly audio editor Soundbooth with a single click on the Premiere Pro timeline. Or you can create graphics in Photoshop, place them in Premiere Pro, and then go back and make changes to those graphics in Photoshop with the changes immediately showing up in the Premiere Pro timeline. That’s bound to be useful for content creators on the Mac, given that Adobe says video editors’ most-commonly used program is, ironically, Photoshop.
