Getting Started with Adobe Premiere 5.0
A related improvement is project archiving: You can specify how often project files are saved
and whether to create separate files. Creating separate files lets you go back to different stages
of a project for reference, for back-up purposes, or to “undo” a stage of work in the project.
Improved titling
Premiere now supports two popular title effects: rolls (which move on-screen vertically) and
crawls (which move on-screen horizontally). You can set ease-in and ease-out points for both
effects, control their duration in seconds and frames, and use masking to make the type appear
or disappear at a specified location. For any title, you now can apply font, size, color, and other
type attributes to any range of characters within a text block.
Multiple keyframes for filters
Previously you had to split clips to apply a filter to a portion of a clip. But now you can easily
create multiple keyframes in a clip and apply different filter settings to each one. The filter effect
can change over time within a single clip or be limited to a specific portion of the clip.
Long-format support
Premiere supports long-format editing capabilities with true 29.97 timebase support, the
ability to hold up to three hours of footage, new Slip and Slide editing tools, and a Navigator
palette (for quickly moving around in the Timeline without losing sight of the bigger picture).
New audio features
Improved sound editing and mixing provide the kinds of audio control available in an audio
studio. New and enhanced audio capabilities include:
Better audio processing
Convert from one audio sample rate to another without a loss in audio
quality, thanks to the new Enhanced rate conversion settings. When you output audio, an
improved downsampling method delivers high-quality, low-data-rate playback. For Web
distribution, you can downsample certain sound files to 2 or 3 kHz.
