Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 

What’s New

In addition, the ability to drag and drop sequences directly from Adobe Premiere Pro into the 
Adode Media Encoder queue gives your encoding workflow added flexibility. And because Adobe 
Media Encoder is optimized to take full advantage of modern multicore CPUs, it efficiently encodes 
your content in the background, enabling you to continue creative work in the foreground, further 
boosting your productivity. To help you keep track of your encoding jobs, Adobe Media Encoder 
now lets you specify audible alerts to signal when items in the queue are successfully completed or 
completed with errors.
Another new feature in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 supplies a number of options for importing 
still image sequences as a single video file. This makes it easier to work with popular production 
formats such as DPX.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 offers tight integration with Adobe Audition CS5.5 (now on Mac OS and 
Windows), the audio editing and sweetening solution designed for video professionals, available 
separately or as part of Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (see sidebar on page 6). 
Using the new Edit In Adobe Audition command, you can send individual clips, entire sequences, or 
just the selected work area—complete with a reference video—directly to Audition for audio 
editing and sweetening.

When you send a sequence to Audition, it opens as a multitrack audio project. When you’ve 
finished editing your audio tracks, the Export To Adobe Premiere Pro command in Audition lets 
you quickly send the multitrack file back to Adobe Premiere Pro.

Open Media Framework (OMF) support in Adobe Premiere Pro and Audition makes it possible to 
export high-quality audio projects to Avid ProTools, making collaboration with audio editors, 
remixers, and sound designers more efficient.

In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, you can speed your editing workflow by importing your Adobe Story 
scripts, complete with metadata, directly into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 without having to first go 
through Adobe OnLocation. The Speech Analysis area of the Metadata panel in Adobe Premiere 
Pro CS5.5 contains a new pane called Embedded Adobe Story Script. Being able to see the 
embedded script in this manner makes it easier to compare the speech analysis results with the 
actual written script, and align them automatically.

Adobe Story, a CS Live online service*

that’s available both separately 
and as a desktop application, is a 
collaborative scriptwriting tool that 
can help accelerate the process of 
turning screenplays and other types of  
narratives into finished media by 
making vital information embedded 
in the script available as metadata. If 
your production started with a writ-
ten script that matches the spoken 
dialogue in your clips, the speech 
analysis process in Adobe Premiere 
Pro can use your written script as a 
reference, aligning the written script 
and spoken dialogue so they  
match exactly.
