Adobe Premiere Pro

Original Adobe Premiere

In 1991, the original version of Adobe Premiere was developed by Adobe Systems. Premiere was one of the first computer non-linear editing systems. The first version was released on Apple Mac in 1991, and for Microsoft Windows in September 1993.^[8] Its final version was released in 2002.

The project's conception began at SuperMac Technology, originally named Reel Time, a QuickTime-based video editor for the company's Video Spigot video capture card.^[9] SuperMac engineer Randy Ubillos created a working demo of Reel Time in about 10 weeks while QuickTime was still in beta.^[10] The software project was acquired by Adobe Systems in August 1991 and was renamed Adobe Premiere.^[9]

Premiere was the second of many QuickTime-based video editors on the market.^[11] As a result, its ability to import new video formats could also be upgraded by updating to a newer compatible version of QuickTime. However, it was limited to only processing video and images that were up to 1024 pixels wide.^[12]

Premiere was based on Reel Time, a product acquired from SuperMac Technologies Inc. and was one of the first computer-based NLEs, first released for Mac in 1991. Up until version Premiere Pro 2.0, the software packaging featured a galloping horse, in a nod to Eadweard Muybridge's work, "Sallie Gardner at a Gallop".^{[citation needed]}

Release of Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro, a rewritten version of Premiere, was launched in 2003. Adobe Premiere Pro refers to versions released in 2003 and later, whereas Adobe Premiere refers to the earlier releases.^[6]

Workflow integration

Premiere Pro supports program files from Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe After Effects. Premiere Pro projects can also be imported into After Effects, and clips copied between the two applications preserve most of their attributes.

Video projects in Premiere Rush can be opened in Premiere Pro to make more advanced edits^[14] and access complex windows.

Current applications

It is available for Windows and macOS.
