Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 
What’s New
Faster editing with metadata 
Metadata plays an essential role in helping efficiently manage and locate media assets throughout 
the production process. It lets you automatically track crucial details such as where a clip was shot, 
who’s in it, and whether you have the rights to use it in your project. Innovative new metadata 
features enable the new script-to-screen workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro, bringing new 
efficiencies to the editing and production process. 
Metadata can be created automatically and supplemented manually at any stage of production. For 
example, at the start of your project, a script written with Adobe Story, a new CS Live online 
service*, captures vital information and stores it as metadata that can be imported into OnLocation. 
While you’re recording footage directly to disk, OnLocation automatically captures all of the 
important metadata coming from the camera. Comments you make in the OnLocation Shot List 
are also stored with each clip as metadata. When clips are imported into Adobe Premiere Pro and 
other components of CS5 Production Premium, metadata is retained in each application.
During post-production, metadata streamlines searching for clips while you edit. With metadata, 
you can quickly locate media assets and clips by filename, date, time, camera setting (such as 
resolution or frame rate), shot location, or any information you’ve added to your asset or clip. And 
when you run Speech Search in Adobe Premiere Pro, you can transcribe spoken dialogue that is 
converted into metadata, making locating particular footage simple.
Speech Search metadata. Speech Search is now more accurate, because you can now import 
reference scripts to assist the speech-to-text analysis process. If your production started with a 
written script that matches the spoken dialogue in your clips, you can use Speech Search to 
timecode-align the written script and spoken dialogue so they match exactly. Documentary 
filmmakers and others whose productions don’t start with a written script can use reference 
scripts, manuals, text books, notes, or other written materials containing words and dialogue 
similar to the project’s recorded content or manually created transcriptions of interview sound 
bites. In addition, multiple processor cores in your CPU accelerate the speech-to-text process, 
making it faster than before.
Best of all, by marking In and Out points in the speech analysis text and then using the Insert 
or Overlay button to cut the clip into the timeline, you can quickly create preliminary rough 
cuts—even without paying close attention to the content’s details. Post-production 
professionals and anyone working in quick-turnaround operations, such as television news-
gathering or same-day event video edits, can benefit from this time-saver.
Face Detection metadata. Save even more time with Face Detection—another content-analysis 
process you can run on clips in your project to quickly locate those with human faces in them. 
Because these clips are more likely to contain spoken dialogue, Face Detection eliminates the 
painstaking process of having to play through each clip in a project to find interview sound 
bites. (Face Detection should not be confused with facial recognition—that is, the ability to 
recognize a specific person’s face within footage.)
New metadata templates in Adobe Media Encoder help ensure that only metadata that has been 
cleared for distribution gets included with your projects at final output. Finally, when your project is 
delivered online, the same metadata you used to edit the project more quickly makes it easier for 
your audience to find your content. And when you deliver your DVD and Blu-ray Disc projects as 
web DVDs, metadata makes the web DVD content automatically searchable.

About metadata
Metadata describes the content or
characteristics of a file, and is stored
using the Extensible Metadata
Platform (XMP) standard. With XMP
metadata-enabled Adobe Creative
Suite 5 Production Premium compo-
nents, meaningful descriptions and
titles, searchable keywords, and
copyright information can be auto-
matically captured and embedded in
the file using a format that is easily
understood by you as well as by
software applications and hardware
devices. And as an open-source and
extensible technology, XMP is freely
available to developers and provides
industry partners with standards-
based building blocks to develop
optimized workflow solutions.
