Description from the Publisher:

Adobe Premiere Pro software is a revolutionary nonlinear video editing application. Powerful real-time video and audio editing tools give you precise control over virtually every aspect of your production. Built for the exceptional performance of Microsoft Windows XP systems, Adobe Premiere Pro takes video production to an entirely new level.

As part of Adobe's award-winning Digital Video product family, Adobe Premiere Pro provides unmatched integration with the products featured in the Adobe Video Collection, including Adobe Audition™, Adobe Encore™ DVD, Adobe Photoshop® and After Effects® software. Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects 6.0 work together to share data, making it easier than ever to work between the two applications.

Users can export Adobe Premiere Pro projects as MPEG2 or AVI files with chapter markers, which will be converted into chapter points by Adobe Encore DVD. Photoshop users can also benefit by importing layered PSD files into Adobe Premiere Pro as flattened clips, or as timelines with each layer on a separate track. These integrated features help to create a flexible workflow, saving production time and increasing efficiency.

Take advantage of multiple, nestable timelines to experiment more freely and manage complex projects more efficiently into Premiere Pro. Use color correction tools to adjust hue, saturation, and lightness for highlights, midtones, and shadows; replace a color throughout a clip with a single selection; and more.

Produce richer, more vibrant audio using sample-level editing, VST filters, track-based effects, and 5.1 surround sound with Adobe Premiere Pro.
