Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 
What’s New
included with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5), transcoding takes places in the background so you 
can continue editing without delay.
You can also encode just the Adobe Premiere Pro sequence work area, which can be easily 
defined using new Set In Point and Set Out Point buttons. High, medium, and low bitrate 
settings provide control over encoding quality, while the estimated size of the output file is 
displayed, allowing you to tailor your output so it matches the available bandwidth and type of 
network connection that your teammates or clients are using.
When CS Review*
 is combined with roundtrip workflows to bring in Apple Final Cut Pro and 
Avid NLE sequences the process of gathering client and team feedback on works in progress is 
further simplified.
Enhanced roundtrip editing with Apple Final Cut Pro
Improved roundtrip editing capabilities with Apple Final Cut Pro make it easier to collaborate on 
projects in which teammates, clients, or other production facilities utilize a variety of editing and 
post-production software tools. For example, when you import and export project files between 
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and Final Cut Pro, you can adjust the volume on Stereo As Mono clips, 
and adjust the scaling of a clip when its pixel aspect ratio (PAR) is different from that of the 
sequence. Additionally, you can export clips that have been modified by the 3-Way Color-
Corrector, retaining approximate settings, which helps to eliminate guesswork associated with 
manually re-creating color-correction results that previously did not transfer with the media asset.
