Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium 
What’s New
Every day, media and entertainment companies such as BBC, Hearst Television, and Turner 
Broadcasting depend on the Production Premium toolset to create a cross-location editing 
environment that is faster, more efficient, and compatible with more formats than legacy broadcast-
industry workflows. Production Premium software offers exceptional support for tapeless workflows 
and provides the foundation for next-generation broadcasting, helping media and entertainment 
companies and other video professionals make the content they produce more valuable.
Top new features of Production Premium
Breakthrough performance
Work fluidly on HD and higher-resolution projects, and check edits without rendering delays. 
Dramatic performance gains in CS5 Production Premium are made possible by native 64-bit 
support and the new Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere Pro.
With expanded native 64-bit support, After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Photoshop Extended 
make the best use of all available RAM on your system, making it easier to edit complex sequences 
at HD or higher resolutions. In Photoshop Extended, access to all RAM makes it much easier to edit 
and apply filters to large images, which is common when creating digital matte paintings and other 
video-related projects. For After Effects CS5, native 64-bit support has a dramatic, positive effect 
on the experience of working on deeply-layered high-resolution projects in 32 bit per color (bpc) 
mode. With After Effects CS5 running on a 64-bit operating system with 32GB of RAM, you can 
preview a 30-second HD comp at full resolution and at 32 bpc, so that you can evaluate your entire 
composition at maximum fidelity without interruption.* Beyond being able to preview longer 
continuous stretches of your project, rendered image frames are more likely to be kept in memory, 
allowing you to move around a project’s timeline or between compositions without losing 
already-rendered frames. Additionally, memory buffer errors due to RAM constraints are virtually 
eliminated. These improvements increase productivity, which in turn facilitates creativity.
64-bit operating system required
Both Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and
After Effects CS5 run only on 64-bit
operating systems, such as Mac OS X
10.5 or later, Microsoft® Windows®
Vista 64-bit Edition, or Windows 7
64-bit Edition. For more information
about optimizing performance, see
the complete system requirements on
the last page of this document.
CUDA Accelerated
The Mercury Playback Engine works
hand in hand with NVIDIA® CUDA™
technology that leverages the
parallel compute engine in NVIDIA
graphics processing units (GPUs) to
solve many complex computational
problems in a fraction of the time a
CPU would take to perform the same
task. For a current list of supported
video cards, visit

Without GPU acceleration
The Mercury Playback Engine is used on a multicore 
system with nine layers of DVCPROHD footage being 
played back in real time, with color correction and other 
effects applied. All CPU cores are used equally, and the 
timeline plays back smoothly.
With GPU acceleration
When you add GPU acceleration, performance gets even 
better. The same nine-layer timeline drops the CPU usage 
down to 5–10%. Even with this complicated timeline, 
more layers and effects could be stacked without affecting 
real-time playback
.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 sets a new 
standard in high-performance 
 editing thanks to the revolutionary 
Mercury Playback Engine, with or 
without GPU acceleration.
