| Major Upgrade Embraced by Professional Video Editors |
SAN
JOSE, CA (Jan. 8, 2001) -- Adobe announced that it is shipping Premiere
6.0, the newest version of the company's digital video editing software.
Adobe Premiere 6.0 allows video and business professionals to quickly
and easily edit digital video on a desktop and publish it to the Web in
multiple formats including RealNetworks RealMedia, Microsoft Windows Media
and Apple QuickTime. Video professionals are endorsing Adobe Premiere 6.0 as their tool of choice for DV (digital video) editing because of its built-in support for a large selection of DV devices on Macintosh or Windows platforms, enhanced editing tools and Web output features that allow them to save production time and work more efficiently to produce professional-quality video.
"The excellent DV integration in Adobe Premiere 6.0 allows editing at online digital quality -- even using entry-level computers -- and output to the Web is a snap," said David Kuspa, Crescendo Productions.
"The most important new feature in Adobe Premiere 6.0 is, bar none, the ability to take a finished product and re-purpose it for the Web quickly and easily," said Patrick Brennan, an independent video producer. "It supports delivery of content in QuickTime, RealMedia or virtually any other Web format, simplifying the creation and delivery of streaming video on the Web."
Adobe Premiere 6.0 software also offers an enhanced user interface, new professional editing tools and seamless integration with other award-winning Adobe applications including Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe GoLive. In addition, Adobe Premiere 6.0 offers several new audio features including a sophisticated audio mixer and a SmartSound(R) QuickTracks(TM) CD for creating custom length soundtracks inside Adobe Premiere.
