Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro is an industry benchmark in the field of video editing software. This piece of software stands beside Apple's Final Cut Pro as the leading video editing software available anywhere.

Professional video producers and creators will find all their most commonly used tools in Adobe Premiere. The most recent iteration uses an interface that is strikingly similar to those from older versions, but this is good because it prevents a steep learning curve. The software features improved media management tools, a reworked timeline, efficient color-grading, various search options, and workflows across multiple projects.

Perhaps the biggest change to come to Adobe Premiere is the addition of Creative Cloud. This service requires a monthly subscription, but it offers instant updates via the Cloud, and you'll get access to a library of stock digital media that can be used free of royalties.

With the Sync Settings feature of the software, you can easily transform any project into a collaborative effort. This feature syncs your customized workspaces, settings, and keyboard shortcuts through several systems at once. If you're the type to seek feedback from third parties, you can use Creative Cloud and its built-in compatibility with Behance to share your work with editors and creative professionals from across the globe.

The possibilities with Creative Cloud don't end there. Using the Premiere Clip mobile application, you can take advantage of recording hardware on your smart device to instantly add new content to your Adobe Premiere timeline.

You might be surprised to learn that Adobe Premiere is compatible with files created in Final Cut Pro. The software uses the Mercury Playback Engine from Adobe, which gives you the ability to work with a range of video file formats that other similar pieces of software simply can't use. With this software, you can export files in the same format as Blu-Ray.

If you have any experience with the Adobe family of digital software, Premiere Pro should be familiar. Of course, beginners who have never used video editing software of any sort might find the complexity of the app to be overwhelming. There are a number of tutorials that can be used to learn the basics of the app.

Premiere Pro has received a number of improvements since it was initially launched. One such improvement is the addition of a Morph Cut feature. This feature takes advantage of facial recognition tools to isolate and then blend together several different 'talking heads' that morph seamlessly from one to the next.

The new subscription model centered around Creative Cloud will probably cause some users to abandon the app in favor of a one-time license app like Final Cut Pro. Professionals who require constant collaboration and cutting-edge software would certainly benefit from Creative Cloud and all it has to offer.
