User Guide
More audio filters
Enhance sound clips using any of Premiere’s 11 new filters, including
Reverb, Bass and Treble, Flanger, Multitap delay, and Chorus filters.
Panning and fading
Specify panning and fading using new controls added to Audio tracks
in the Timeline. The improved Timeline interface lets you show or hide the waveform
associated with audio clips.
New palettes and palette enhancements
Premiere now presents the Transitions and Info windows as floating interactive palettes and
adds the Navigator palette to the product. Palettes quickly display information and options
on-screen without interrupting the creative process and allow for easy opening, closing, and
resizing. You can even group and dock palettes for more efficient handling.
The Navigator palette, modeled on the Adobe Photoshop feature, lets you see at a glance
where you are within a project by showing a miniature of the entire length of the project,
and a small display window highlighting the area currently visible in the Timeline. Simply
drag the highlighted area in the palette to move to a different portion of the Timeline.
The Windows version of Premiere now includes the Commands palette (introduced in the
Macintosh version of Premiere 4.2), which lets you turn the menu commands you use most
often into buttons you can click quickly in a floating palette; you can even load and save
custom sets of command buttons.
Better hardware and system software compatibility
As improvements in hardware and software throughout the industry make video-editing
ever more powerful and efficient, Premiere’s capabilities lead the way. Capture card profiles
are now included with Premiere project presets, so you can load them as needed for video
or audio capturing. Support for the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) standard enables
developers to create or modify hardware drivers to accelerate features in Premiere, including
support for real-time effects (before rendering). Support for the latest versions of
QuickTime and DirectShow ensures that your work relies on the most prevalent
industry standards.
