Work with enhanced audio capabilities
Take advantage of powerful new audio controls and built-in ASIO and VST support to
make your audio punch like never before.
Powerful new audio controls Import and export the highest quality 24-bit, 96 KHz
audio files. Edit audio clips at the subframe, audio-sample level with precision up to 1/
96,000 of a second with 32-bit floating-point mathematical precision—for example, to
remove small pops and crackles. Create and work with multichannel audio to produce
surround-sound and other multichannel audio effects. Record professional voiceovers
directly to a timeline as it plays back. See “Applying effects to audio tracks” on page 184.
VST (Virtual Studio Technology) compatibility Sweeten audio with 17 powerful
industry-standard VST plug-ins that come with Adobe Premiere Pro, including Reverb, EQ,
Pitch Shift, Dynamics, DeNoiser, and MultibandCompressor. New VST plug-in support
enables you to expand your audio toolkit and use your favorite VST plug-ins with Adobe
Premiere Pro. Improve effects and mixing workflow and processing efficiency using sends
and submixes. For information on audio controls in Adobe Premiere Pro, see “Planning
your audio workflow” on page 171.
ASIO (Audio Stream Input/Output) compatibility Access the multichannel capabilities
in a new generation of high-quality sound cards through built-in ASIO support in
Adobe Premiere Pro. For information on ASIO, see “Setting a track’s input source” on
page 182.
Adjust color values with ease
Use native YUV processing and three-point color correction to adjust your colors to the
needs of your project.
Native YUV processing Preserve the color values of original DV and other source
footage—and improve application performance by avoiding color conversions—with
native support for YUV processing. For information on YUV processing in Adobe Premiere
Pro, see “Correcting color in a clip” on page 254.
Three-point color correction Make sure shots match, and correct exposure,
colorbalance,
and other jarring errors caused by lighting, cameras, and environment with the
new color correction filters in Adobe Premiere Pro. Adjust the hue, saturation, and
lightness for highlights, midtones, and shadows; replace a color throughout a clip with a
single selection; and more. Use built-in waveforms and vectorscopes to make sure that
clips share the same color spectrum and that your color adjustments fall within legal
broadcast limits. The Color Corrector uses 32-bit floating-point mathematical precision.
For information on color correction, see “Understanding the waveform monitor and
vectorscope” on page 111, “About Fixed effects” on page 235, and “About Standard
effects” on page 235.

Edit with precision
Take advantage of Adobe Premiere Pro’s ability to apply transitions to multiple clips. Move
clips around easily and work with multiple edit points at once. Then preview how your
rendered footage will look before actually rendering it.
Take advantage of editing improvements Apply transitions on any video track, and
automatically apply default transitions to overlapping clips. Overwrite, as well as insert,
clips in a single move by dragging and dropping them on a timeline. Remove a group of
clips from one area—closing the open gap with a ripple delete—and insert them in
