Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 
What’s New
Ultra keyer
Chroma keying has typically been a tedious, time-consuming process—one that Ultra, the 
powerful high-performance keyer now included in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 makes fast and 
painless. Normally, when shooting footage to be keyed, you must evenly light the background 
screen so it is a single, uniform shade of whatever color you are keying out of the scene. You must 
also take care to eliminate color spill—reflections of the background screen that “spill” back onto 
actors and other objects. When manually adjusting your keys, fine detail around the edges of 
objects—for example, hair—need to be carefully identified so they can be separated from the 
background in a believable manner. Using Ultra, you can achieve fast, accurate keying on even the 
most challenging DV and HD footage. The GPU-accelerated Mercury Playback Engine dramatically 
increases performance, usually resulting in real-time HD keying. 
Designed to handle footage shot under real-world conditions that result in uneven lighting, 
wrinkled backgrounds, and frizzy hair—Ultra preserves shadows and can achieve complex keys on 
smoke, liquids, and transparent objects. Intuitive, easy-to-use controls make pulling accurate keys  
a breeze.  
About chroma keying
Chroma keying is the process of
selectively removing (“keying out”)
all of the pixels in an image that are a
particular color (“chroma”) and
replacing them with another image.
Television weather reports use
keying to make meteorologists
appear as if they are standing in front
of a weather map, when they are
actually standing in front of a blue-
or greenscreen.
Ultra, the new keyer in Adobe Premiere Pro, is 
optimized to handle real-world greenscreen 
conditions. Using simple, intuitive controls, 
you can pull a high-quality key quickly. 
Parameters can be animated to accommodate 
changing conditions.
