    Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Workow Guide or Final Cut Pro Editors

    Whether working solo or in a workgroup thats involved in a large multi-studio production, industry

    proessionals typically use a variety o production and post-production tools on virtually every project.

    Moving media and sequences between tools in complex production pipelines oten requires ormat

    conversion, specialized plug-ins, tedious workarounds, or a lot o manual work to recreate elements that

    dont transer. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 eliminates these hurdles by giving Final Cut Pro editors an openworklow, sharing sequences easily and preserving commonly used eects and transitions. Simply

    import an Apple Final Cut Pro XML sequence into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and youre on your way to

    tight integration with components o Production Premium.

    Why introduce another NLE into your worklow? With the new Mercury Playback Engine and industry-

    leading native tapeless support, editors are likely to ind that, or many projects, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5

    oers superior perormance and a more convenient worklow. Video proessionals who have purchased

    Production Premium as a cost-eective way to acquire Ater Eects, Photoshop, and Illustrator, already

    have access to Adobe Premiere Pro. For others, the prevalence o HD and higher-resolution projects and

    the desire or a more streamlined way o handling tapeless media is prompting a re-evaluation o

    toolsets. In this document, well introduce some o the reasons editors should consider Adobe Premiere

    Pro, as well as some o the project types that beneit rom the distinct power o Adobe Premiere Pro.

    Open workows and new eatures in CS5 deliver exibility and powerWhether youre interested in tapping into the high-octane perormance the new Mercury Playback

    Engine oers, using Adobe Encore CS5 or Blu-ray authoring, or looking or a better worklow on

    eects-heavy projects, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 enables easy project exchange with Final Cut Pro.

    Exchange projecs easilyAdobe Premiere Pro CS5 can import Final Cut Pro sequences that have been saved as XML iles, and you

    can also export Adobe Premiere Pro sequences as Final Cut XML sequences, or a round-trip worklow.

    his means you can share media iles and sequence inormation without conversion or rendering, while

    preserving commonly used eects and transitions. In most cases, there is no relinking o media and a

    translation report added to the projects main bin provides inormation about any approximations thathave been made during the conversion. Similarly, you can also import and export Avid Media Composer

    sequences using AAF.

    Edi aser wih he new Adobe Mercury Playback Engine

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 sets a new standard in high-perormance, responsive editing by allowing you to

    work dramatically aster thanks to the new, completely redesigned playback engine that is native 64-bit,

    multicore, and GPU-accelerated. he Mercury Playback Engine provides rock-solid perormance and

    stability so you can work smoothly at 4K and higher resolutions while experiencing dramatic

    improvements in perormance and stability. Open projects aster, scrub through HD and higher

    resolution projects luidly, and handle long-orm content and eects-heavy sequences reliably. Play

    through common transitions and eects without rendering and render or inal output much aster.

    he Mercury Playback Engine has two real-time modes: he sotware-only mode which utilizes all

    CPU cores in your computer and the hardware-assist mode which leverages the CPU in your

    computer and the GPU o your graphics card or even greater productivity. he sotware-only

    mode provides excellent playback on a MacBook Pro laptop while the hardware-assist mode gives

    Final Cut users equipped with a supported NVIDIA card an additional perormance boost. For an

    even more lexible editing environment, move projects back and orth rom a laptop to a desktop,

    as well as rom a Windows 7 64-bit system to a Mac OS.

    When editing on a workstation and leveraging the GPU on your graphics card, he Mercury

    Playback Engine works hand in hand with NVIDIA CUDA technology to solve many complex

    computational problems in a raction o the time a CPU would take to perorm the same task. In

    addition, utilizing the GPU to accelerate eects, rendering, and other processor-intensive tasks

    rees your systems CPUs to handle background tasks.

    he enhanced, native 64-bit system architecture in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 lets you use all

    available system RAM (up to 192GB in todays computers), so you can run multiple sotware

    applications at the same time. his opens the door to powerul timesaving, multitasking worklows.

    For example, you can simultaneously edit a very complex, eects-laden project in Adobe Premiere

    Pro while your systems CPUs render an elaborate Ater Eects composition in the background.

    I youre working on a laptop that is unable to play back challenging ootage such as 4K RED iles or

    sequences with extensive eects, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 includes the ability to adjust the

    playback resolution o your video in the Source Monitor or Program Monitor. Separate Playback

    and Pause resolutions give you more control over monitoring. With higher resolution ootage suchas 4K, you can set playback resolution to a lower value or smooth perormance (or example 1/2,

    1/4, 1/8, or 1/16 resolution), and set Pause resolution to Full. his allows you to quickly check the

    quality o ocus or edge details when playback is pauseduseul or when you dont have the

    luxury o an on-set HD monitor.

    Ge a beer apeless and DSLR worklow

    Save precious editing time by eliminating the time-consuming transcode and rewrap process when

    you work natively with tapeless media and ootage shot on DSLR cameras. Adobe Premiere Pro

    CS5 leads the industry by supporting the latest tapeless ormats natively including RED, P2, AVCHD,

    AVC-Intra and XDCAM. Native editing support or DSLR cameras is also available and includes

    Canon 5D Mark II and 7D cameras, Nikon D90, D300s and D3000 cameras, and others.

    When you work with tapeless media in Adobe Premiere Pro, you gain three key advantages. First,

    you save time because youre able to start working with ootage immediatelysometimes directly

    rom the camerathus eliminating the time-consuming transcoding and rewrapping process

    required when you use the same media in Final Cut Pro. Second, you maintain the pristine image

    quality o your source ootage throughout the production process. Finally, because Adobe

    Premiere Pro does not convert the ile to a proprietary ormat, metadata acquired rom the camera

    is retained throughout the production process.

    Adobe Premiere Pro provides an easy way to ind and import tapeless content through the Media

    Browser, which gives quick access to your hard drives, cards, camera, and other storage media.

    Each camera ormat packages its video and audio in dierent ile wrappers and older structures,

    with metadata and media

    stored across several iles,but the Media Browser

    wades through these older

    hierarchies and provides

    immediate access to just the

    needed video and audio iles.

    Additionally, the Media

    Browser presents spanned

    clips (single shots split

    between cards) as single

    iles. You can double-click on

    Te Media Browser in Adobe Premiere Pro

    displays the complex older structures o

    le-based media (such as P2) to give you

    access to the actual clips within.

    a clip in the Media Browser to preview it in the Source Monitor beore importingwhich saves

    additional time because you dont need to import iles just to preview them.

    he powerul Mercury Playback Engine makes playing ull-resolution content luid, so lower-res

    proxies become unnecessary. Additionally, the Final Cut Pro approach discards metadata acquired

    rom the cameraeliminating useul inormation that makes it harder to locate and manage and

    locate relevant assets. In addition to preserving the iles pristine quality, Adobe Premiere Pro

    preserves camera metadata as well as any metadata added during production in OnLocation

    enabling you to track crucial details o each clip, such as camera settings, where a clip was shot,

    whos in it, and whether you have the rights to use it in your project.

    Projec ypes ha bene rom an Adobe Premiere Pro workfowhere are many types o projects that beneit rom the capabilities o Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 such

    as same-day edits, e ects-heavy projects, scripted projects and interviews. Each presents particular

    challenges which Adobe Premiere Pro is uniquely able to address.

    Same-day edis

    he ability to edit ootage the same day you shoot is critical in todays competitive event video

    market or ast-paced newsroom. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 helps you deliver same-day edits with

    ease thanks to the new Mercury Playback Engine and the worlds best tapeless camera support.

    Eecs-heavy projecs

    When higher production values are a requirement, industry-standard Ater E ects gives you the

    power to deliver attention-getting show openers, lower thirds, and other types o motion graphics

    and visual eects while solving a broad range o post-production challenges. And, Adobe Premiere

    Pro and Ater E ects are ideal partners in a post-production worklow. No nonlinear editor, without

    a third-party plug-in, integrates as smoothly with Ater Eects as Adobe Premiere Pro, and Dynamic

    Link is at the center o this integration.

    With Dynamic Link (available only as part o Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium), a single

    shot or an entire sequence (including eects, transitions, and multiple tracks) in your Adobe

    Premiere Pro project can be dynamically linked to Ater Eects without rendering. Ater reining the

    shot in Ater Eects, the ootage is automatically updated in Adobe Premiere Pro without

    rendering, replacing, or relinkingsaving you valuable production time. With Dynamic Link, youonly need to render at inal output . Plus, Dynamic Link in Creative Suite 5 is now even aster thanks

    to native 64-bit perormance.

    Time-saving advances in Aer Eecs CS5

    Ater Eects CS5 oers timesaving presets and templates, as well as the ability to re ine virtually

    every aspect o every design element. Ater Eects handles complex, post-production tasks, such

    as color correction, motion tracking and stabilization, keying, and rotoscoping, and now, thanks to

    native 64-bit OS support, includes the ability to ully use your computers memory or dramatic

    perormance gains when working on high-resolution projects. Additionally, when installed as part

    o Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium, you can coordinate RAM allocation between Ater

    Eects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Encore, and Adobe Media Encoder thanks to cross-component

    memory management.

    Now available in Ater Eects CS5 is the revolutionary new Roto Brush, which provides a ast,

    eicient solution or isolating oreground elements in complex scenes. In the past, this work was

    time-consuming and expensive, and as a result, o ten reserved or big-budget projects. he new

    Roto Brush is so ast that editors can now perorm rotoscoping on virtually any projectrom

    o streamline production, import an Adobe Story script into Adobe OnLocation. Metadata created

    in Adobe Story helps you manage your shoot with automatically generated shot lists and eicient

    logging capabilities. Additionally, dialogue rom the script and other metadata is embedded into

    the shots you log in OnLocation. When you later import your ootage into Adobe Premiere Pro, you

    can synchronize your Adobe Story script to that ootage, making it possible to quickly produce

    preliminary rough cuts based on the dialogue transcript. Further, the metadata in the assets are

    retained throughout the production worklow and can be passed through to Encore, where it can

    be used as the basis or DVD and Blu-ray Disc chapter titles. When you deliver your Encore projects

    as web DVDs, the script metadata makes the web DVD content searchable.

    Key ooage quickly wih he Ulra keyer

    Due to complexity, costs and typically poor results, using a green screen or interviews is usually

    reserved or proessional studios or big-budget projects. With the new Ultra keyer in Adobe

    Premiere Pro, you can now add greenscreen to your set o daily production tools. Designed to work

    with portable setups such as client locations, shots that used to be impossible to keyunevenlighting or wrinkled backdropscan now be inished in minutes. Plus, Ultra preserves the shadows

    o your talent and even achieves complex keys such as smoke, liquids and transparent objects with

    minimal eort .

    Turn video asses ino engaging online experiences

    Use Adobe Premiere Pro integration with Adobe Story* to turn previously completed or unscripted

    video assets into engaging online experiences. o do this, create a transcription o your interview

    ootage, which unctions much like a script. Next, create a new Adobe Story project, and then copy

    and paste that transcription into it, producing a new Adobe Story script. Using the text rom the

    transcription, you can then break the text into scenes that serve as major points in the video, such

    as key themes in an interview. You then add additional metadata or each section, or example, a

    short description o that scenes key points (e.g., his section o the interview covers how the ilmwas made.).

    When youre satisied with your segmented video, or better online navigation, you can create

    subclips rom the inished video to match the scenes youve outlined. hen import your Adobe

    Story script and the subclips into OnLocation. he script data automatically creates placeholder

    clips that you can then attach to the clips rom the inished asset. In OnLocation, you can also add

    additional metadata to your clips, such as shot-speciic metadata and shot locations to your clips.

    Next, you can import the OnLocation project into Adobe Premiere Pro, and run an analysis to

    synchronize the script to ootage to enable ull, time-accurate searchability. You can edit the clips

    as you normally would, and Adobe Premiere Pro keeps everything lined up correctly, so that when

    you render the video using Adobe Media Encoder, or example into F4V or FLV, the metadata-rich

    assets are ready to be searched using Encores searchable web DVD eatures. For a more richerexperience, create a custom player in Flash Proessional or Flash Builder and not only search

    dialogue but speakers, shot locations, and more.

    Unparalleled inegraion wihin Adobe CS5 Producion PremiumMoving beyond the distinct beneits o using Adobe Premiere Pro or editing, there are additional

    reasons to add it to your Final Cut worklow. Adobe Premiere Pro oers tight integration with other

    CS5 Extended, Illustrator CS5, Flash Catalyst, Flash Proessional CS5, Soundbooth CS5, Adobe

    Bridge CS5, and Adobe Device Central CS5 sotware. Most o these applications easily share media

    with each other and are designed to work together to retain ile ormat quality and metadata. And,

    using Dynamic Link, Adobe Premiere Pro easily hands o projects to Ater Eects and Adobe

    Encore without intermediate rendering which is a real asset in the critical inal stages o production.

    Eliminae inermediae rendering wih Adobe Dynamic Link

    As mentioned earlier, Dynamic Link gives you tighter-than-ever integration when moving assets

    between Adobe Ater Eects CS5, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, and Encore CS5. An integral part o
