| Professional Video Editors Will Benefit From Productivity Increases |
SAN
JOSE, CA (Mar. 19, 2001) -- Adobe Systems Incorporated today announced
that Adobe Premiere 6.0 will support real time digital video (DV) editing
on the Macintosh platform. Adobe Premiere customers have had access to
real time capabilities on the PC for several years, and due to recent
advances in Apple QuickTime 5, these capabilities are finally available
on the Macintosh. Real time hardware cards capable of supporting Adobe
Premiere are anticipated this spring from companies like Matrox Digital
Video Solutions and ProMax Systems Inc. Adobe has been working with these hardware manufacturers, among others, to ensure that Adobe Premiere 6.0 software will be compatible with the new real time boards being created for the Macintosh. This new capability will allow professionals to work more efficiently on a Mac, by eliminating the time spent rendering a video project created with Adobe Premiere. Users will be able to view effects and transitions instantly, without having to wait for rendering, which will significantly streamline the production workflow.
Real time cards for the Macintosh will offer a variety of different features intended for specific user needs. The features in these cards range from real time transitions, titles, and special effects including color correction, 2D and 3D motion and particle effects. Additionally, these real time cards will support a number of digital video formats including uncompressed, DV and HDTV.
The following four hardware manufacturers are providing support for Adobe Premiere 6.0: Aurora Video Systems, Digital Marketing International, Matrox Digital Video Solutions and ProMax Systems Inc.
