Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 
What’s New
If you’re working on a computer or laptop that is unable to play back challenging footage such as 
4K RED files or sequences with extensive effects, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 includes the ability to 
adjust the playback resolution of your video in the Source Monitor or Program Monitor. Separate 
Playback and Pause resolutions give you more control over monitoring—with higher resolution 
footage such as 4K, you can set playback resolution to a lower value for smooth performance (for 
example ½, 1/4, 1/8, or 1/16 resolution), and set Pause resolution to Full. This allows you to quickly check 
the quality of focus or edge details when playback is paused—useful for when you don’t have the 
luxury of an on-set HD monitor.
Expanded native tapeless workflows
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 builds upon the industry’s best native tapeless workflow by offering new 
native format support for Sony XDCAM HD 50, Panasonic AVCCAM, DPX, and AVC-Intra. Native 
support for RED R3D files has been enhanced, and native support for video shot with Canon, 
Nikon, and other DSLR cameras added. These newly supported formats expand existing support 
for variants of Panasonic P2; Sony XDCAM, XDCAM EX, and XDCAM HD; HDV; and AVCHD.
When you work with tapeless media in Adobe Premiere Pro, you gain two key advantages. First, 
you save time, because with native support you’re able to start working with footage 
immediately—sometimes directly from the camera—and thus eliminate the time-consuming 
transcoding and rewrapping process typically required when you use the same media in other 
NLEs. Second, you maintain the pristine image quality of your source footage throughout the 
production process. Native support also means that the metadata coming from the camera  
is retained.
Since its introduction in the second half of 2008, Sony XDCAM HD 50 has become the 
preferred format used to shoot many popular television shows. Also known as XDCAM HD422, 
XDCAM HD 50 delivers 1920x1080 or 1280x720p video at a variety of frame rates. The 
intra-frame format is a 4:2:2, 50Mbps variant of MPEG-2 long-GOP compression. You can use 
Adobe Premiere Pro to natively edit XDCAM HD 50 footage.
AVC-Intra provides production-quality, full-frame HD video at bit rates normally associated with 
ENG (Electronic News Gathering). Developed by Panasonic, AVC-Intra offers twice the compression 
efficiency of DVCPROHD. The intra-frame codec provides high-quality 10-bit encoding in two 
modes: AVC-Intra 100 for full 1920×1080 4:2:2 mastering and archiving, and AVC-Intra 50 for 
DVCPROHD-comparable quality at half the bit rate, doubling the record time on a P2 card and 
other storage devices. With Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, you can natively edit AVC-Intra footage and 
use Adobe Media Encoder to export AVC-Intra—available as a Panasonic P2 Movie output option.
The latest DSLR cameras from Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and others include the ability to shoot 
full-frame 1920x1080 or 1280x720 HD video. Thanks to their exceptional image quality, low-light 
capabilities, and the fact that you can shoot using standard 35mm DSLR lenses that give your 
footage the look of expensive film-based cameras, these DSLRs are finding their way into video 
productions at all levels. New in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 is the ability to import and natively edit 
video shot with the Canon 5D Mark II and 7D, as well as video shot with the Nikon D90, D300s, and 
D3000 DSLR cameras. Similarly, you can import and natively edit AVCHD video shot with 
Panasonic DMC-GH1 DSLR cameras, as well as AVCHD video from Sony, Panasonic, and Canon 
video cameras. Use the Media Browser panels in Adobe Premiere Pro and OnLocation to 
conveniently browse clips and view metadata, including metadata from Panasonic 
AVCCAM cameras.
RED Digital Cinema cameras capture extremely high-resolution raw files, enabling digital 
production workflows that allow you to make image-processing decisions throughout the 
post-production process. Adobe Premiere Pro provides full native support for RED R3D files, allowing 
you to import them directly without transcoding, rewrapping, or installing additional software. Because 
the files you import contain raw sensor data, you edit footage that is as close to what the camera 
captured as possible—enabling you to work nondestructively on the color and look of your projects. 
With CS5, you can work with content in all common RED R3D file permutations, including 2K, 3K, 4K,
