Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 What’s New
Streamlined encoding with revamped Adobe Media Encoder
With the explosive growth of video on the Internet, there’s been a massive shift in how people
consume video entertainment. Whether you produce instructional videos, trailers for your
independently produced films, or music videos for viewing online or on iPods, distribute your work
on YouTube, Vimeo, or Hulu, or output it to broadcast playout servers, being able to efficiently
deliver your content in a variety of formats is crucial. Adobe Media Encoder, a separate, 64-bit
software application included with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, saves you time by streamlining the
process of creating multiple encoded versions of your source files and Adobe Premiere Pro
sequences. Adobe Media Encoder features a more intuitive user interface, providing more visual
feedback to help you work faster. Save time with the new ability to start the encoding process
directly from Adobe Premiere Pro without going to the batch list. Set up multiple items for batch
encoding, manage priorities, and control advanced settings for each item individually. Batch
encoding lets you use any combination of sequences and clips as sources and encode to a wide
variety of video formats, including FLV, F4V, Windows Media, QuickTime, and other popular codecs
such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, andnew in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5AVC-Intra and DPX.
Adobe Media Encoder features
enhancements that streamline the
encoding process, including the
ability to:
• Get more visual feedback. e
Seings Summary dialog box
displays information about both
output and source footage, and
new tooltips summarize the
output seings for the selected
encoding preset or source assets.
• Automatically match TV Stan-
dard, Frame Rate, Field Order,
and Pixel Aspect Ratio properties
of source footage using a new
seing called Automatic. For
example, if the source is 1080p
footage at 24fps, Field order will
automatically be set to Progres-
sive. e Automatic seing
aects video output in H.264 Blu-ray Disc, MPEG-2–Blu-ray Disc, and MPEG-2–DVD formats.
• Set bit rate based on frame dimensions when outpuing footage to FLV, F4V, H.264 Blu-ray Disc,
and MPEG-2 Blu-ray Disc formats. Choosing Video > Bit Rate Level lets you set the output bit rate
to any value or to a value automatically determined by the frame dimensions of source footage.
• Change the frame rate, pixel aspect ratio, eld order, or alpha channel seings when importing
clips into Adobe Media Encoder using the Interpret Footage command.
• Add XMP cue points to the output le from metadata in FLV or F4V source les. A new preference
seing controls whether source cue points are used when invoking the Seings dialog box or
while encoding.
• Help ensure that content is output with the right metadata. Use templates in the Export Seings
dialog box to add essential details to media assets in a consistent manner, and to make certain
that only cleared-for-distribution metadata is included in your nal output.
• Save time by exporting media directly from Adobe Premiere Pro without rst adding it to the
Adobe Media Encoder queue. You can still add clips to the Adobe Media Encoder queue by
clicking Queue in the Export Seings dialog box in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Adobe Media Encoder now displays the video asset being transcoded. Notice
that in this encoding batch, a single source le is being output in a variety of
formats and resolutions for archival, web, broadcast, and mobile delivery.
