Applying the power of Adobe creative tools to projects from other NLEs

Bring the creative benefits of Adobe tools to your entire production project, exploring new possibilities with Adobe® After Effects® and other Adobe software. As you work in Adobe Premiere® Pro software, you can collaborate more efficiently with colleagues by importing and exporting Apple Final Cut Pro and Avid projects. Consider switching from Final Cut Pro or Avid to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.

 

For Final Cut Pro users

  1. Why Final Cut Pro editors should use Adobe Premiere Pro
  2. How to use Adobe Premiere Pro if you’re a Final Cut Pro user
  3. Adobe Premiere Pro Quick Start Guide for Final Cut Pro and Avid users

Final Cut Pro project import and export

Roundtrip projects between Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Final Cut Pro 7 (and earlier) without conversion or re-rendering, preserving commonly used effects and transitions. Bring the creative benefits of Adobe tools to any post-production workflow.

 

Avid Media Composer project import and export

Use AAF project interchange to roundtrip projects between Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Avid Media Composer without conversion or re-rendering, preserving commonly used effects and transitions. AAF import and export is available on both Mac OS and Windows®. You can also import and export CMX3600 format Edit Decision Lists (EDLs).

 

OMF export

Export your audio in Open Media Framework (OMF) format for interchange with audio workstations. Then import the final audio back into Adobe Premiere Pro and use direct audio channel routing to preserve the final mix.

 

Robust Adobe metadata workflow

Use Speech Search and other metadata features to add intelligence to your assets from Final Cut Pro 7 (and earlier) and Avid software. Metadata can be used downstream to engage viewers in new ways, from web DVDs to rich Internet experiences.

Timeline markers for embedded cue points

Bring your Final Cut Pro or Avid projects into Adobe Premiere Pro, and then add timeline markers that can be embedded as cue points when you export FLV files for Adobe Flash® Professional projects.

For Avid users

  1. Why Avid editors should use Adobe Premiere Pro
  2. How to use Adobe Premiere Pro if you’re an Avid Media Composer user

Native editing of QuickTime formats

Import and edit all the popular QuickTime formats natively (including Apple ProRes and MOV files captured by Canon 5D and 7D cameras), with full access to clip metadata — no transcoding, rewrapping, or logging and transferring required.

 

Faster workflow with Photoshop files

Maximize the efficiency with which still images can be incorporated into video production. Import and animate Adobe Photoshop® layers in Adobe Premiere Pro. Instantly edit Adobe Premiere Pro stills in Photoshop, and then automatically match the frame size and aspect ratio of an Adobe Premiere Pro project — even in HD — when creating new files.

 

Smooth Blu-ray Disc authoring workflow

Bring Final Cut Pro or Avid projects into Adobe Premiere Pro and use Adobe Dynamic Link to send the sequence directly to Adobe Encore® software, where you can author a Blu-ray Disc, DVD, or web DVD. Timeline markers in the sequence act as chapter markers in Encore. Encore CS6 is a fully native 64-bit application, enabling you to deliver projects faster.

Better, faster workflow with After Effects

Import Final Cut Pro 7 (and earlier) or Avid projects into Adobe Premiere Pro and send the sequence through to After Effects, where you can create opening titles, animated graphics, and world-class special effects. Use Dynamic Link to see your After Effects compositions directly in the Adobe Premiere Pro timeline — in context with the rest of your edits — without rendering.

RED support

Native support for RED R3D files

Take advantage of a truly native, color-rich, 5K tapeless workflow to Adobe Creative Suite® software, enabling filmmakers to harness the full potential of high-resolution raw digital cinematography on the desktop. Adobe and RED Digital Cinema have collaborated with the goal of developing a native raw workflow that keeps you close to the lens, so you're always working with the sensor data that the camera captured. By always working close to the lens, without proxies or other restrictions, you can adjust the look and feel of your work all the way through the production process, knowing that your changes are completely accurate.

 

Adobe Premiere Pro supports R3D files ranging from 2K to 5K resolutions, 16:9 and 2:1 aspect ratios, and RED HDRx footage. Best of all, the Mercury Playback Engine enables real-time scrubbing and playback of RED R3D® files up to 5K in resolution. The RED R3D Source Settings dialog box in Adobe Premiere Pro offers extensive control over the look of RED raw footage. In conjunction with the ability to change color settings per clip, you can save combinations of adjustments as custom presets, which can be applied to individual or multiple clips. The controls in the Source Settings dialog box include:

  1. HDRx control — Work with expanded dynamic range by taking advantage of new RED HDRx workflows.
  2. Debayer detail — Vary the level of detail extracted from the image sensor.
  3. White balance — Manipulate Kelvin, tint, and saturation levels.
  4. Sharpness and denoise — Control sharpness and remove noise from noisy footage.
  5. Color settings — Adjust the ISO setting, exposure, red, green, blue, brightness, contrast, and highlight levels.
  6. Color space — Select the desired color space from among Camera RGB for RAW; Rec 709, the standard color space for HD; and REDspace, a more saturated variation of Camera RGB.
  7. Gamma curve — Override the gamma curve selection using preset gamma curves.
  8. Luma curve — Control lift, gamma, and gain as well as red, green, and blue color channels.
  9. Timecode — Select the timecode track to use from the R3D file.

What you get with Production Premium

More affordable Hollywood-caliber digital cinematography

Enjoy a truly native, nondestructive workflow when working with RED footage using Adobe Premiere Pro. RED cameras have taken the digital filmmaking world by storm, making high-resolution digital cinematography accessible to many more productions. RED cameras capture extremely high-resolution raw files, opening up the possibility of a digital production workflow that allows you to make image-processing decisions throughout the post-production process because raw files keep the image sensor data directly.

A more powerful, streamlined workflow tomorrow

Work with footage that's as close as possible to what the lens saw because Adobe Premiere Pro works directly with the sensor data, opening up much richer, more powerful ways of working nondestructively on the color and look of your work.

 

Native RED EPIC and RED Scarlet-X camera support

Edit up to 5K footage shot from RED EPIC® and RED Scarlet-X cameras without transcoding or rewrapping, and access RED parameters directly from the enhanced Source Settings dialog box. Work natively with RED footage, with support for RED Rocket, Mysterium X®, and the latest Color Science camera advances.

Ongoing support for RED cameras

Note that Adobe is committed to working with RED to support the latest features through Adobe Labs.

A native, raw workflow today

Import R3D files directly into Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Encore without conversion for a faster, color-rich workflow that gives you control of the look when you edit. You can dynamically change the resolution, applying color correction to the footage in full resolution, for example, and then lowering the resolution on the fly to gain better performance from your hardware as you scrub through edits. Support for the latest firmware including FLUT Color Science, and HDRx helps ensure the highest quality imagery as you edit and finish content.
