Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)With this application and a suitably powerful computer you can create sophisticated videos that not too long ago would have taken about thirty thousand dollars to produce with tape machines, a vision mixer, and sundry peripherals.
Premiere 6.0 can handle all the cut or transition edits, apply rolling titles / credits, and add soundtracks. The resulting production can then be exported to tape or a variety of computer files such as AVI, MPEG, QuickTime, and RealMedia. Premiere 6.0 can also work directly over fireWire with a DV machine for importing and exporting video. Very handy.
The RealMedia export option is worth pursuing, since it's the fastest to render out. On my Celeron 500 with 128 MB of RAM, a six minute clip takes about forty minutes to render an RM file, all the others taking about two hours and forty minutes. The RealMedia option does require a little bit of setting up to avoid disappointing video quality if you stick to it's default selections.

My only real gripe is the sketchy help guide, with many pages too large for the viewing window. Why can't the purveyors of PDF do a decent Acrobat manual like they do with that application, instead? Go figure.

Adobe Premiere 6.0 is a powerful and surprisingly easy-to-use professional video-editing tool. This latest version comfortably closes the gap between DV and Web, and has new support for DV on the Windows platform and cross-platform support for all of the leading Web video formats. Premiere 6.0 provides direct support for IEEE 1394 (FireWire/i.Link) on both Windows and Mac OS. By using only the DV port on your hard drive, an IEEE 1394 connection, and your DV camcorder, you get perfect digital video in Premiere 6.0 every time. Premiere 6.0 offers built-in support for all types of DV devices, ranging from consumer to professional. By simply connecting a DV device to the IEEE 1394 port on a Windows or Macintosh computer, you can capture DV clips and begin editing right away. On a computer with an IEEE 1394 port, there's no need to install additional hardware, such as a video-capture card. Just select the appropriate DV-device manufacturer and model in the Device Control dialog box, and Premiere 6.0 assigns the video-input settings that are appropriate to that device--making the video-capture process more precise. Premiere 6.0's Movie Capture window now includes a Settings tab and a Logging tab. By using the Settings tab, you can view and edit video-capture settings, change the capture location, and set device-control preferences. By using the Logging tab, you can log video clips quickly, set In and Out points, name clips and reels, batch-capture multiple logged video clips effortlessly, and add comments about each clip.
Adobe Premiere 6.0 includes three (automatically installed) plug-ins for exporting an individual clip, a segment of the Timeline, or the entire program to a Web-optimized file format. When you have finished editing your video program, select one of the following Web-export options: Save for Web, Advanced RealMedia Export, or Windows Media Export (Windows only). By choosing one of these options, you will open the respective plug-in dialog box, in which you can specify format information for your exported file. The Save for Web menu command exports the Timeline directly into a special version of Terran Interactive's Media Cleaner software, which is customized especially for Premiere 6.0. With Advanced Windows Media Export, you can take advantage of a wide range of formatting options for the most precise output control in the Windows Media format. Advanced RealMedia Export provides precise output control, and thereby offers greater flexibility. RealMedia files (containing both RealVideo and RealAudio) can be streamed from the Web or downloaded to a hard disk, and played by using the RealPlayer application. Also included in this release is the ability to embed Web markers in your video files, which markers could include links to HTML pages, or to chapters in a QuickTime movie or DVD. By using these markers, you can develop streaming videos that automatically launch Web pages at precise points during playback. You can specify a frame target, to designate where the Web content will appear.
Other new features in Adobe Premiere 6.0 include a professional audio-mixing tool; a new Storyboard window, with an Automate to Timeline command; enhanced Monitor and Timeline windows; and improved project management. For added power and functionality, Premiere 6.0 offers better effect support, the ability to create customizable workspaces, and complete integration with other Adobe applications like Photoshop, After Effects, and GoLive.
