Adobe CS5 Production Premium provides tight support for AVCHD footage acquired with 
Panasonic AVCCAM cameras.  Edit your AVCHD footage quickly and efficiently in its native 
format, taking advantage of the fast editing performance with the native 64-bit, GPU-
accelerated Mercury Playback Engine, and the tight integration between applications.
More than just video editing, Adobe CS5 Production Premium is a tightly-integrated suite of applications 
intended to cover every aspect of video and content creation, from acquisition in the field, to editing and 
effects, to audio, through to export and delivery.
Three applications in the Creative Suite are principally involved in the AVCHD workflow – Adobe Premiere 
Pro, After Effects, and Adobe Encore.  Adobe Premiere Pro provides complete, native timeline support for 
all AVCHD recording formats.  Adobe Premiere Pro supports all frame sizes and frame rates of AVCHD.  
Many of the techniques described in this paper are applicable to CS4 programs, but with CS5, the level 
of performance in the AVCHD environment has been greatly enhanced.  Most work with AVCHD content 
will be done in Adobe Premiere Pro, and it will be through Adobe Premiere Pro that most of the other CS5 
applications will usually be accessed in the AVCHD workflow.  
Working with tapeless media in Adobe Premiere Pro gives you several advantages.  The ability to edit 
HD and higher resolution footage in real time without having to first render it or lower its resolution by 
transcoding or rewrapping it with an intermediate codec is a post-production dream come true. Adobe 
Premiere Pro CS5 brings that dream to the desktop with the revolutionary Mercury Playback Engine.
The native 64-bit, CPU- and GPU-accelerated Mercury Playback Engine provides rock-solid performance 
and stability so you can edit complex, high resolution projects fluidly.  Open projects faster, scrub through 
HD and higher-resolution footage more fluidly, and play back complex long-format and effects-heavy 
projects more reliably. With the Mercury Playback Engine, you can put 2-hour, multi-thousand clip projects 
together as easily as a high-impact trailer:
•   Work in real time on complex timelines and long-form projects with thousands of clips - whether 
your project is SD, HD, 2K, 4K, or beyond
•   Open projects faster
•   Multi-thousand clip projects load and play fluidly
•   Mix and match formats such as XDCAM, RED, P2, AVCHD, AVC-Intra, and DSLR cameras freely in 
the timeline without rendering
•   Experiment fluidly in real-time with multiple color corrections and effects and see results in real 
time even on complex timelines
•   Use real-time keying on multiple clips at all resolutions using the new Ultra keyer
Another significant advantage of editing with Adobe Premiere Pro is that there is no transcoding or 
rewrapping; all footage is natively supported as recorded by the AVCHD camera.  You can begin editing 
the exact files recorded by the cameras immediately after shooting, straight from the SD card, or even 
straight from the camera --  there is no waiting.  You can share media between users and other NLE 
systems in its native format.  You also maintain the full quality of the footage throughout the entire 
production process.  In addition, Adobe Premiere Pro provides a full array of export options.  Most 
common formats can be accessed from the timeline and through Adobe Media Encoder.
