For many video creators, the ultimate video-editing suite is Adobe Premiere Pro CS.
At $799, the program isn’t cheap; for the price, however, you get a variety of differ-
ent software programs that help you create truly professional videos. (More infor-
mation is available at www.adobe.com/products/premiere/; the program is available
in both Windows and Mac versions.)

Figure 11.5 gives you a flavor of what Adobe Premiere Pro CS offers. The interface
changes a bit depending on what type of editing you’re doing at the time, but you
have the expected timeline editor, video window, and a bevy of available editing,
audio, and video effects.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS works seamlessly with professional video equipment from
Panasonic and Sony, with native editing for both companies’ proprietary media for-
mats. You can generate a variety of high quality video effects, including slow motion
and other time-remapping effects. Also available are professional-caliber color cor-
rection, lighting effects, audio filters, and more. The program also makes it easy to
edit footage from multicamera shoots.

Naturally, Premiere Pro works with both standard and high definition video. It inte-
grates seamlessly with other Adobe applications, including Photoshop and After Effects.
