Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium 
What’s New
To make it easier to output your work to virtually any video and device format, the new Adobe Media Encoder user interface 
includes three sections—the Queue pane, the Current Encode pane, and the Watch Folders pane. The batch queue at the top 
shows you the status of multiple renders, while the Current Encode pane displays details of the job that’s currently processing. 
This updated design makes it easy to monitor multiple background renders at a glance while you continue working in Adobe 
Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Encore.
Adobe Media Encoder supports a wide range of output formats, including FLV, F4V, Windows 
Media, QuickTime, and other popular codecs such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, and—new for 
Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5—AVC-Intra and DPX.
Automate your workflow further using watch folders, new in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5. You can 
configure watch folders with different encoding settings, so that encoding a clip to multiple 
destinations is as easy as dropping it in a preconfigured watch folder.
Expanded native support for RAW digital cinema and file-based workflows
Building on its industry-leading native support of file-based media, CS5.5 Production Premium 
expands the flexibility of your workflow when working with RAW digital cinema files and other 
file-based footage in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and After Effects CS5.5.
Now you have new options for adjusting RED source settings right in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 
and After Effects CS5.5.
§
 These settings help make CS5.5 Production Premium an even better 
choice for on-site workflows and dailies when working with RED content, because they offer deep 
control over crucial color settings. In addition to the ability to save and load the latest versions of 
RMD—as well as the ability to create custom presets—you can now pick a white point and use 
either a histogram or a five-point curves interface to adjust red, green, blue, RGB, or Luma values 
for a clip. You can choose which Color Science version is used, and FLUTs, Lift, Gamma, and Gain 
settings are all now supported. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and After Effects CS5.5 offer additional 
enhancements to improve your overall RED workflow, including the timesaving ability to apply 
source settings to multiple clips. Additionally, when you open the redesigned RED Source Settings 
dialog box, it remembers which options you displayed in the previous session.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 also offers enhanced native support for Canon XF footage. Now you can 
view Canon XF files—including spanned clips—in the Adobe Premiere Pro Media Browser, preview 
XF footage in the Project panel, view and edit camera metadata in the Metadata panel, and take 
advantage of metadata throughout your pre- and post-production workflows. In After Effects, you 
can now import CinemaDNG files and export XDCAM-EX footage.
Edit file-based media right away 
thanks to native support
With native support for file-based
media, you can begin editing virtually
any video format—no transcoding
or rewrapping—including DV, HDV,
RED, DPX, Sony XDCAM, XDCAM
50, XDCAM EX and XDCAM HD,
Panasonic P2, DVCPRO HD, AVCHD,
and AVC-Intra. Edit video from DSLR
cameras, including the Canon 5D
Mark II and 7D, Nikon D90, D300s,
D3000, and others.
