Adobe Premiere Pro is a real-time, timeline based proprietary video editing software application. It is part of the Adobe Creative Suite, a suite of graphic design, video editing, and web development applications developed by Adobe Systems, though it can also be purchased separately. When purchased separately, it comes bundled with Adobe Media Encoder, Adobe Encore, and Adobe OnLocation. Premiere Pro supports many video editing cards and plug-ins for accelerated processing, additional file format support, and video/audio effects. Starting with the version in Creative Suite 5 (CS5), it is a native 64-bit application for Mac and Windows, making it one of the few cross-platform non-linear editing systems (NLEs) available. As a 64-bit application, it does not run on 32-bit computers. However, in the Master Collection and Production Premium Suites, a version of Premiere Pro CS4 is included for 32-bit computers.
Premiere Pro has been used by broadcasters such as the BBC[2] and The Tonight Show.[3] It has been used in feature films, such as Dust to Glory, Captain Abu Raed[4], and Superman Returns[5] (for the video capture process), and other venues such as Madonna's Confessions Tour.[6]
