Adobe Premiere Pro is a real-time, timeline based video editing software application. It is part of the Adobe Production Studio, a suite of digital video and audio applications. Premiere Pro has many hardware and software partners, and is often included as an OEM package with video editing cards, such as the Matrox RT.X2.

Premiere Pro is a rewritten version of Adobe Premiere, and was launched in 2003. Although Premiere was available for the Macintosh, Premiere Pro 1.x and 2.0 do not support Mac OS due to the engineering costs of cross-platform development, and multiple competing products on Mac OS. ^[1]. On January 4th, 2007, Adobe announced intentions to release Premiere Pro for Mac OS. ^[2]

Since its rewrite, Premiere Pro is growing in acceptance by the film and video industry, and has been used in such movies as Dust to Glory by Dana Brown, and Superman Returns^[3] (for the video capture process), and other venues such as Madonna's Confessions Tour^[4].

Version 1.5, released in 2004, improved support for High-definition video content, and added new project management tools and new filters. It also included support for 24p footage (such as footage from Panasonic's DVX-100). Version 1.5.1 added support for HDV. Version 2.0 further refines 24p and HDV editing, and it is the first major NLE to natively support the Canon 24F^[5] format on cameras such as the Canon XL H1, with an additional update^[6]^[7]. This latest edition of Premiere Pro, version 2.0, requires the processor to support SSE2, which is unavailable in some older processors. ^[8]

An entry-level version, Adobe Premiere Elements, is available for the consumer market.
