Appletell
"For those starting out as pro-level video editors, or those who are working with digital formats, Premiere Pro CS5's 64-bit capabilities and Mercury rendering (if you use a compatible NVIDIA card) make this software a serious contender for the high-end user, but even for the indie filmmaker, its ability to work natively with digital HD and DSLR formats make it extremely attractive."

"This is what Professional video editors have been waiting for…"
"Adobe's latest CS5 release is putting itself ahead of the game and we recommend this product wholeheartedly as it deserves it's 5* star status."
Chris Watts, Software Latest, September 2010

BlogCritics
"... Premiere Pro CS5 has taken video editing and production to another level. In fact, it's a whole new game. With just the 64-bit, the availability of more RAM, and the new Mercury Playback Engine, this is a worthy upgrade. With all of the other enhancements like metadata, tapeless workflows, Ultra, searchable webDVDs, and all the little fixes, this upgrade is really a must have..."

"While all of the Adobe applications have been updated in CS5, clearly Premiere Pro is the centerpiece of this release."

"Premiere is clearly geared toward high-end prosumers and stacks up nicely against Final Cut Pro in that setting."

POST Magazine
"Rendering my timeline for final output was much faster than before. The Mercury playback engine works hand-in-hand with Nvidia CUDA technology in a few choice Nvidia cards (*GPUs) to solve many complex computational problems in a fraction of the time a CPU would take to perform the same task."
Tor Rolf Johansen, POST Magazine, 04/12/2010

Studio Daily
"Premiere Pro's been drastically improved, to such a profound extent that it could save you dozens of hours on every project you produce."
"Jaw agape, I'm positively astonished with this technology, remarking multiple times, “Mercury, where you been all my life?"
Charlie White, Studio Daily, 04/12/2010

"I just spent three months closely evaluating Premiere Pro CS5, and I can tell you first hand, its blistering speed is downright astonishing. I've tested it, and it works."

Digital Content Producer
"Overall, I think the major new features in CS4, particularly Dynamic Link from Premiere Pro to Encore, the greatly enhanced Adobe Media Encoder, and AVCHD support make the upgrade decision a slam dunk. Not to mix metaphors, but all the features discussed this month are just icing on the cake."
Jan Ozer, Digital Content Producer, 10/27/2008

Digital Content Producer
"With Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe nailed the big workflow issues, making the editing program much more efficient for almost all users. The company also sprinkled in enough goodies — metadata, audio to text, and pop-up Blu-ray menus — that help users further monetize their content and distinguish their productions from projects produced with other tools. Overall, it's hard to imagine any CS3 user who shouldn't consider this a must-have upgrade."
Jan Ozer, Digital Content Producer, 12/01/2008

"Premiere Pro CS4 further strengthens Premiere's reputation on the Mac as a capable video-editing program…. And the inclusion of OnLocation, AME, and new features make an upgrade from CS3 well worth the price."

MicroFilmmaker Magazine
"If you're serious about making films, then it is essential that you invest in good, professional-grade software. Adobe's Premiere Pro CS4 package is one of the two best on the market for the microfilmmaker and is well worth the money. You'll be glad that you invested!"
Eric Henninger, MicroFilmmaker Magazine, 02/01/2009

Renderosity
"With Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe has gone the 'wow' factor route for an upgrade. The single element to the program that makes it worth the US$299 upgrade…is the Adobe Media Encoder, [which] allows you to create multiple encoding jobs, initiate them, and then go back to working on something else in Premiere Pro."
Ricky Grove, Renderosity, 01/26/2009

Studio/monthly
"Just when we thought Premiere Pro for Mac or Windows was about as packed with features as it could get, Adobe has put even more actually useful niceties into the CS4 version of the venerable editing application. Building on its strengths of smooth interaction with other members of the Adobe club of apps, Premiere Pro included functionality and feature sets that were sorely needed in previous versions."
Charlie White, Studio/monthly, 10/2008

"The most promising new feature in Premiere Pro CS4 is Speech Search. This could be the best enhancement of metadata yet, transcribing words spoken in a video clip into easily searched text files attached to that clip.... It's remarkable."
Charlie White, Studio/monthly, 10/2008

"We here at TheStreet.com are very pleased with what it can do and does for us. We plan to continue using it for our 'on location' editing jobs. Very highly recommended."

"Premiere works with the suite's other working parts to make one heck of an editing solution."

Videomaker
"This latest upgrade adds to Premiere's support of AVCHD, P2, XDCAM EX, all natively making it the current king of compatibility among all the editing programs out there. If your camcorder can shoot it, it looks like Premiere can edit it."
John Burkhart, Videomaker, 11/20/2008

Digital Content Producer
"[Encore CS4's] trophy new features include the simple ability to make changes in the video project via the Edit Original command and Dynamic Link support from Premiere Pro to Encore, which means no rendering before authoring. Encore CS4 is also the only prosumer authoring program to support pop-up menus for Blu-ray Discs, a killer feature."
Jan Ozer, Digital Content Producer, 10/10/2008

Digital Content Producer
"The workflow enhancements alone make Encore CS4 a total no-brainer upgrade. Pop-up menu creation, a unique feature in this class of product, makes Encore even more alluring for Blu-ray producers."
Jan Ozer, Digital Content Producer, 01/01/2009

Macworld
"With the substantial changes from the last Mac version, Premiere Pro CS3 is no mere sequel — it's a complete remake, and one that should generate some good buzz."

Customer testimonials
"Native 64-bit processing in Adobe After Effects CS5 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 can dramatically enhance a video production class. Specifically, 64-bit enables faster editing workflows, better special effects, and easier HD filmmaking — this means students can increase their productivity, creativity, and overall quality of their work."—Kevin McMahon, graphic design and video production teacher, Bellarmine College Preparatory
"I have used everything from Avid and Final Cut Pro to LightWorks and Edit and Fast—and my tool of choice by far is Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium including Adobe Premiere Pro. The integration among Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Encore is a huge time saver — and Adobe solutions are a joy to work with."—Jarle Leirpoll, independent filmmaker & videographerl
"I was among the first Final Cut Pro users ever, but my Final Cut Pro days are over. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 is stellar because it offers the 64-bit Mercury Playback Engine, giving me the ability to work in real time with 4K RED files — I literally couldn’t pay enough money for that. I’ve used a dozen different nonlinear editors and know of none that compare to the capabilities and streamlined workflow Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 offers today."—Tim Walton, documentary filmmaker and editor, KVIE, Sacramento, California PBS affiliate
"Now that Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 is hardware-accelerated using the Mercury Playback Engine, our testing shows that the speed of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 is impressive when compared to Final Cut Pro. Because time is money in wedding videography, we are looking at switching to an all Adobe workflow full time once Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium ships."—Alex Tomek, owner, Lumitone
"In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, dragging footage to the Timeline panel to create a New Sequence will help students avoid making sequences with incorrect settings. This will be a big time saver for when teachers are reviewing student projects."—Debbie Keller, business education teacher, Northside Independent School District — Earl Warren High School
"The unique ability to import and export Final Cut Pro projects into and out of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 has made the transition to Adobe even easier."—Evan Butson, managing director, TDE Post
"This is something we would never have been able to accomplish had it not been for the native DSLR support in both Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5,” says Butson. “It is just one more example of the breakthroughs we can achieve by working with Adobe’s video tools."—Evan Butson, managing director, TDE Post
"The expanded support for tapeless workflows in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 lets us import nearly any kind of footage immediately so we can get right to work creating cutting-edge digital video content."—Mike Kureth, flash developer, The Visionaire Group
"I was among the first Final Cut Pro users in Northern California, but my Final Cut Pro days are over. Because it is inherently a QuickTime editor, Final Cut doesn’t support a full-fledged RED 4K workflow. On the other hand, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and the other components of Creative Suite 5 preserve all of the glorious 4K quality and metadata the RED ONE camera delivers—all in a workflow that blows me away with its integration."—Tim Walton, filmmaker, White Rabbit Productions
"The image quality with the RED ONE camera is stunning, and I didn’t want to lose that. I had the opportunity to test Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, and I took it. Working with Creative Suite 5, including Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, I can preserve all the 4K quality and work with all the metadata from RED so I have a lot more control. Then for further finessing, I can take the files into Adobe After Effects CS5 and work on them natively from there with full 64-bit speed."—Tim Walton, filmmaker, White Rabbit Productions
"It’s almost magical to be able to tweak something in After Effects CS5 and tab back to the timeline in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 to see how it looks. Other software packages don’t come close to measuring up in the area of integration. Adobe software gives you the ability to seamlessly go back and forth among the applications without intermediate rendering—the workflow is genuinely unique in the industry and it lets me work faster and with fewer creative interruptions."—Tim Walton, filmmaker, White Rabbit Productions
"The Mercury Playback Engine is stellar because it gives me the ability to work real time with the 4K RED files — I literally couldn’t pay enough money for that. I’ve used a dozen different nonlinear editors and know of none that compare to the capabilities and streamlined workflow Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 offers today."—Tim Walton, filmmaker, White Rabbit Productions
"The ability to apply filters and adjustment layers to video in Photoshop CS5 Extended saves a lot of steps and is a great way to add subtle effects quickly. For the splash page of the website, I was able to take a shot of a skier hiking up a mountain at Squaw Valley with the sun behind him and add a lens flare effect in Photoshop CS5. The process is very fast — and, the minute I’m done I can easily incorporate the files into my Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 projects."—Tim Walton, filmmaker, White Rabbit Productions
