The most-requested enhancement was the addition of batch rendering, lining up projects, clips and versions to be encoded into whatever format you desire.
That’s some fancy footwork, but the most useful addition to Premiere Pro is its new Adobe Media Encoder, now functioning as a separate application.
And there’s more innovation on the way, with ambitious Adobe telling me it’s working on utility apps using this technology that facilitate subtitles, too. The transcribed speech metadata stays with the file in the video when you distribute it – so if you place it into a Flash video or a Web page, that data is there and searchable, too. Speech Search still needs a lot of polishing, but Adobe assures us that the shipping version and its descendents will be more accurate and quicker to render.Įven the way it is now, this powerful routine bodes well for the future. It became apparent that accuracy of these transcriptions depended a lot on how distinctly someone spoke. However, a 30-second DV video/audio file shot in the field with an untrained speaker took even longer to transcribe on a fast dual quad-core machine, with transcription accuracy that was barely 10 percent. In a QuickTime file I tested, it took around 1 minute, 54 seconds to transcribe a 30-second studio-recorded audio clip into text with around 75-percent accuracy. In theory, the approach is enormously powerful, but so far, in the beta implementation of the routine we tested, it’s still shaky. It’s simple to use and streamlines a tedious yet crucial task that is so important to today’s digital workflows. Making matters even easier, you can now also select a huge group of clips and add an important piece of metadata to them (such as your copyright info), all in one stroke. In old versions of Premiere you could enter metadata attached to clips, but this enhancement lets you enter info into fields like a spreadsheet, tabbing from one to the next, lickety-split. Tipping its hat to the tapeless workflow that’s largely taken over video production, Adobe makes it easier than ever to log clips, add production notes and keep track of your projects with its new metalogging feature.
There are also some unexpected surprises within the mix. Building on its strengths of smooth interaction with other members of the Adobe club of apps, Premiere Pro included functionality and feature sets that were sorely needed in previous versions.

Just when we thought Premiere Pro for Mac or Windows was about as packed with features as it could get, Adobe has put even more actually useful niceties into the CS4 version of the venerable editing application.
