Native tapeless editing workflow for Sony XDCAM and Panasonic P2 formats
Import and edit content from Sony XDCAM and Panasonic P2 equipment natively, without transcoding or rewrapping. Deliver content quickly and efficiently with true native editing directly from XDCAM, XDCAM EX, XDCAM HD and P2 media. Or copy files to the hard drive to take full advantage of your system’s speed. Adobe Premiere Pro retains key metadata from the XDCAM and P2 media, making it available within the project window. Editors can mix other file formats freely within the Adobe Premiere Pro timeline, combining content from multiple sources. Finally, export your work to P2 to allow playback on P2 equipment.
Efficient tools for creative editing
Create high-quality visual and editorial effects directly within the editing timeline. Generate slow motion and other time-remapping effects with precise keyframe control and real-time feedback. Add color correction, lighting and other effects, audio filters, and more with fast, flexible, built-in tools. Edit footage from multicam shoots with ease and precision.
Comprehensive video-format compatibility
Work with the formats you want. Edit all standard- or high-definition formats, from DV and HDV to HD and beyond (some formats may require additional hardware).
Broad range of supporting hardware and software for Mac and Windows
Choose from a wide range of Mac and Windows® workstations and capture cards to build the editing system that meets your needs and budget. Enhance your system with additional plug-ins, including many from Adobe® After Effects® software.

Make your video viewable on the delivery platforms of today and tomorrow. Export as SWF FLV files. Easily convert DVD projects complete with menus to SWF for web playback. Encode for delivery to cell phones and other mobile devices, and emulate playback on those devices to check playback quality.
Improved editing efficiency
Work faster with powerful and flexible editing tools. Play video with nested audio sequences in real time without rendering. Replace any clip in the timeline with a new clip while preserving the replaced clip’s editing attributes and settings. Use shortcuts to switch between workspace panels and save time.
