Adobe Prelude CS6 / FAQ

Overview Features Tech specs Reviews FAQ
Buying guide
What is Adobe® Prelude™ CS6?

Adobe Prelude CS6 software is a video ingest and logging tool that can help you tag and transcode footage rapidly. Searchable markers and other temporal metadata entered in Prelude can help you find the footage you want, when you want it, at any point in production. Easy ingestion of nearly any file-based footage, along with keyboard-driven creation of searchable metadata, lets you keep your eye on the video and work faster, stay organized, and streamline production. Create rough cuts and associated metadata that will flow through the entire production process in Adobe Premiere® Pro software and other NLEs. Leverage the XMP-based open platform capabilities of Prelude to integrate with third-party technologies and asset management systems.

Why should I use Prelude if I already use Adobe Premiere Pro?

Prelude CS6 makes ingest and logging of footage more efficient, with a simple user interface designed solely for this purpose. Prelude allows you to add direction and organizational comments to specific footage by tagging media and creating rough cuts that flow into Adobe Premiere Pro. In one intuitive environment, Prelude provides tools that make it simple and fast to ingest file-based footage, as well as help ensure the entry and flow of metadata throughout production, making it easier for you to efficiently work on projects, manage your digital footage, and complete productions. Metadata entered in Prelude is carried into Adobe Premiere Pro, allowing time-accurate communication throughout the workflow. Prelude is an open platform that supports customized integration with third-party technologies and management systems.

Is Prelude included in any Adobe Creative Suite® editions?

Yes. Prelude is included as part of Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium and Master Collection software.
