"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…"

"... 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."

"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."

"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?"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"[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."

"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."

"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."
