Overview of Adobe Premiere Pro
Premiere Pro is a powerful, feature-rich, cross-platform, non-linear editing application built for
modern file-based video editing production (
Figure 1
). Every day, hundreds of thousands of
filmmakers, broadcast editors, videographers, and journalists around the world rely on Premiere Pro
to create a wide array of compelling content.
Premiere Pro is resolution independent, allowing editors to work at HD, 4K, 8K, and beyond, freely
mixing frame rates and video formats on the same timeline without the need for time-consuming
transcoding. Extensive native media support allows creatives to get to work right away, no matter
which device their footage is coming from, whether it’s a broadcast camera, high-end digital device,
mobile device, action camera, DSLR, or almost any other source. You can use Premiere Pro to easily
assemble clips and sequences, edit, add audio and video effects, create titles, manipulate colors and
light for the perfect aesthetic, and export your finished project to any screen and any format.

About workspaces
All user interfaces across Adobe’s video and audio applications provide options for consistent, customizable
workspaces. Although each application has its own set of panels (such as Project, Metadata, and Timeline), you move
and group panels in the same way across products.
The main window of a program is the
application window
. Panels are organized in this window in an arrangement
called a
workspace
. The application window contains both grouped panels, and individual panels (
Figure 2
).
