 Every year, Adobe holds MAX, a worldwide conference that allows attendees to learn new skills, explore up-and-coming technologies, as well as network with their fellow Adobe users. I attended one popular session, “Editing Video with HDSLR cameras in CS5 Production Premium,” which was led by Adobe’s Sr. Worldwide Evangelist (yes, that’s his title) Jason Levine, who gave an informative introduction to Adobe Premiere Pro and the HD-DSLR workflow.

 For all the scientific discoveries we’ve made in the past few decades, it’s surprising how many mysteries there are still left to solve. What’s the smallest sub-atomic particle? What are the limits of the human brain? Are there parallel universes similar to ours and if so, how do we prove it? That’s why it’s no surprise that for video editors there is still so much debate over the seemingly age-old question of which editing software is best.

 Short and sweet: Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 has proved itself to be the PPro we’ve been waiting for. It is stable, fast, and capable. If I seem biased, well, yes I am because I’m finding it a joy to edit on PPro as well as the whole suite of tightly integrated CS5 applications.
My, how time flies! Can it really be six months since CS5 was released? Shortly prior to the official release, I was offered the opportunity to briefly test-drive a beta version of the Master Collection CS5 suite

 Patrick Hall from Fstoppers contacted me and asked if I would create a step-by-step green screen tutorial for Premiere CS5, and I told him I would be honored.
Just a quick disclaimer for those not familiar with me and my site, I’m an amateur and I show all the mistakes I make as I learn how to shoot DSLR video. That being said, I have been doing green screen work for about 4 years now, but I am totally self taught – so I am not a pro at this.

 Without a doubt, the greatest challenge for HDSLR shooters has been editorial. I recently read of another new software that’s supposed to magically make your HDSLR footage palatable for the finicky Final Cut Pro. Why you would ever want to put yourself through the misery and expense of purchasing an additional piece of software that takes hours to work and may crash your computer just so you can cut with FCP is beyond me. The good news is, now you don’t have to…

 I can clearly remember my first experience with Adobe Premiere. It was in the early 1990’s, and I was working full-time in the News Department at Wisconsin Public Television. I had managed to talk the news director into buying me a really new-fangled device – a desktop computer. I believe it was a first-generation Pentium, maybe 90Mhz. I had been into computers since about 1984, and had composed music and scored a lot of TV programs using Atari computers. Geekery was in my blood. So once I

 This probably isn’t the usual article on a piece of non-linear editing software. There will be no discussion of professional workflows and how it’s used to create broadcast television or feature films. But rather it’s a discussion of how a modest beginning, dabbling with a new piece of software and one of its signature features has grown into more than just a passing curiosity. It’s also about how that single feature drew me in to Premiere Pro CS5 and how that feature is helping keep the peace a

 When Matrox first brought us the MXO2, I was so impressed I ended up with one in my edit suite.
The MXO2 was a great addition to my Final Cut Suite, giving me features of more larger, and expensive breakout boxes.

 Our original question was how best to accelerate Adobe’s Creative Suite. In After Effects, the move from CS4 to CS5 was a clear win, while scaling from four cores to six offered surprisingly little benefit. Photoshop CS5 is likewise mushy on its core scaling benefits, but if you can land a plug-in that supports CUDA, baby, hold on—the improvement is massive. Most of all, Premiere Pro performs exactly as we’d expect. The video editor scales well as threads increase, improves with Hyper-Threading,
