Although Mac users won't benefit from this upgrade, PC-based video editors will be thrilled with Adobe's latest release, Premiere Pro 1.5. Premiere Pro's many new features include support for all standard HD resolutions (480p, 720p, and 1080i), Panasonic 24p Advanced, Bezier keyframes, and AAF and EDL import and export. These traits, as well as tighter integration with other Adobe programs and its continued ease of use, make Version 1.5 worthy of a closer look.

Taking a hint from Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro 1.5 includes four filters--Auto Levels, Auto Color, Auto Contrast, and Shadows and Highlights--to help speed work flow. Auto Levels, Auto Color, and Auto Contrast enable editors to make color and contrast adjustments with the click of a button, whereas the Shadows and Highlights filter intelligently corrects overexposed or underexposed video to maintain a proper exposure. Yet, as with any such correction, you won't be able to restore detail that isn't in the original file.

In Version 1.5, you can make custom presets and recall them in future projects. Once you have set the parameters for your effect, you can save them as presets under the Effect Controls menu and organize them in new Favorites folders or bins.

Adobe also has expanded the audio capabilities of Premiere Pro. With a new Snap on Sample feature, you can much more precisely edit audio in Premiere Pro 1.5. Using Snap on Sample, you can edit audio at the sample level within a frame of video, and then automatically snap audio edits to the same level. Also included in the upgrade are two new audio filters, DeHummer and DeEsser. These new plug-ins remove unwanted hum and hiss, such as that introduced by low-quality cables, to deliver truly professional results.

Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 boasts tighter integration with other Adobe products than ever before. You can launch Photoshop CS (available separately or included in the Professional Version of the Adobe Video Collection) from within Premiere Pro 1.5 by simply selecting File, New, Photoshop File. After Photoshop automatically launches, your image will open in the correct resolution and aspect ratio. When you're finished editing in Photoshop CS, simply close the program and the edited version of your ...
