Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 

What’s New

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. The 

Settings Summary dialog box 
displays information about both 
output and source footage, and 
new tooltips summarize the 
output settings 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 
setting called Automatic. For 
example, if the source is 1080p 
footage at 24fps, Field order will 
automatically be set to Progres-
sive. The Automatic setting 
affects 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 outputting 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, field order, or alpha channel settings when importing 

clips into Adobe Media Encoder using the Interpret Footage command.

•  Add XMP cue points to the output file from metadata in FLV or F4V source files. A new preference 

setting controls whether source cue points are used when invoking the Settings dialog box or 
while encoding.

•  Help ensure that content is output with the right metadata. Use templates in the Export Settings 

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 final output.

•  Save time by exporting media directly from Adobe Premiere Pro without first 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 Settings 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 file is being output in a variety of 
formats and resolutions for archival, web, broadcast, and mobile delivery.
