Adobe integration for improved workflows
Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS3 software offers unparalleled integration with Adobe's world-class video and graphics software, enabling you to work effortlessly in a consistent, unified environment that delivers superior post-production efficiencies.
Adobe After Effects integration
Adobe After Effects® projects can be exported as Adobe Premiere Pro projects, maintaining folders as bins, individual edits, markers, keyframed effects, nested sequences, transitions, and more. Drag and drop or copy and paste clips and timelines between Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Effects can be applied in one application and rendered in another. For example, you can make adjustments in Adobe Premiere Pro using the Three-Way Color Corrector and then render that effect at higher color depth in After Effects. You can also initiate the process of capturing footage in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 within After Effects CS3 Professional (in Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium only).
Adobe Photoshop integration
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 offers the tightest possible workflow integration with Adobe Photoshop® software, maximizing the efficiency with which still images can be incorporated into video production. Import and animate 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.
Adobe Encore integration
Reach the widest possible audience with Adobe Encore CS3® software, now included with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. In Adobe Premiere Pro, send media and timeline markers directly to Encore CS3 for authoring to Blu-ray Disc, DVD, and interactive SWF for the web. In Encore, use Edit Original to modify your original project in Adobe Premiere Pro, and then import the changes back into your DVD project.
Adobe Soundbooth integration
Send audio files directly to Adobe Soundbooth™ CS3 software for editing, and hear changes immediately in the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 timeline.
Adobe Dynamic Link with Adobe After Effects (Creative Suite 3 Production Premium only)
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 is the video editing component of Adobe Creative Suite® 3 Production Premium, which offers deep integration between Adobe's world-class video and graphics software and provides you with a powerful, unified design environment. Combined with the groundbreaking efficiency of Adobe Dynamic Link and Adobe Bridge CS3, this highly efficient workflow will allow you to deliver your best work.
In the past, it was tedious to update content to address client feedback, and then make other changes when incorporating visual effects into a video edit. Changes made in After Effects would have to be carefully managed in your editing timeline, and then re-rendered and re-imported. The result was an inefficient and time-consuming workflow. Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium offers a compelling alternative: the ability to create live links between projects in After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. Dynamic Link eliminates the need to render an After Effects composition before importing it into your Adobe Premiere Pro timeline. All After Effects layers remain accessible. Changes made in After Effects can be previewed instantly, without the need to render a movie first. This allows you to make changes quickly and render only when you finalize your results.
Adobe Bridge CS3
Adobe Bridge CS3 brings the files in your project into one central command center, making it faster and easier to access and manage video and audio files, native Photoshop and Illustrator files, and After Effects projects. Efficiently organize, browse, preview, and locate your content files. Drag the files you want directly from Adobe Bridge CS3 into your current project. Within Adobe Bridge CS3, you can also run batch processes and handle a wide range of common tasks, such as creating new folders, renaming, moving, or deleting files.
Adobe Bridge CS3 minimizes disruption to your creative flow because it makes it easy to find exactly what you want. Using industry-standard Adobe XMP metadata, you can make complex searches based on very specific criteria. You can add metadata to your files and view that information in Adobe Bridge CS3 without opening the file. Metadata can include everything from digital image capture information to copyright status and keywords. Easily edit metadata for any content file, or multiple files at once. For sets of metadata values you use often, you can create and save metadata templates and then quickly apply them to content files.
To make more on-screen space available, you can toggle Adobe Bridge to compact mode, reducing it to a floating palette for easy access at any time. Adobe Bridge CS3 gives you numerous options for viewing your assets — including Thumbnails, Filmstrip, and Details. You can also resize previews with a simple slider control. With Adobe Bridge CS3, the files you need are always at your fingertips.
