Adobe CS5 Production Premium provides tight support for AVCHD footage acquired with
Panasonic AVCCAM cameras. Edit your AVCHD footage quickly and efficiently in its native
format, taking advantage of the fast editing performance with the native 64-bit, GPU-
accelerated Mercury Playback Engine, and the tight integration between applications.
More than just video editing, Adobe CS5 Production Premium is a tightly-integrated suite of applications
intended to cover every aspect of video and content creation, from acquisition in the eld, to editing and
eects, to audio, through to export and delivery.
ree applications in the Creative Suite are principally involved in the AVCHD workow – Adobe Premiere
Pro, Aer Eects, and Adobe Encore. Adobe Premiere Pro provides complete, native timeline support for
all AVCHD recording formats. Adobe Premiere Pro supports all frame sizes and frame rates of AVCHD.
Many of the techniques described in this paper are applicable to CS4 programs, but with CS5, the level
of performance in the AVCHD environment has been greatly enhanced. Most work with AVCHD content
will be done in Adobe Premiere Pro, and it will be through Adobe Premiere Pro that most of the other CS5
applications will usually be accessed in the AVCHD workow.
Working with tapeless media in Adobe Premiere Pro gives you several advantages. e ability to edit
HD and higher resolution footage in real time without having to rst render it or lower its resolution by
transcoding or rewrapping it with an intermediate codec is a post-production dream come true. Adobe
Premiere Pro CS5 brings that dream to the desktop with the revolutionary Mercury Playback Engine.
e native 64-bit, CPU- and GPU-accelerated Mercury Playback Engine provides rock-solid performance
and stability so you can edit complex, high resolution projects uidly. Open projects faster, scrub through
HD and higher-resolution footage more uidly, and play back complex long-format and eects-heavy
projects more reliably. With the Mercury Playback Engine, you can put 2-hour, multi-thousand clip projects
together as easily as a high-impact trailer:
• Work in real time on complex timelines and long-form projects with thousands of clips - whether
your project is SD, HD, 2K, 4K, or beyond
• Open projects faster
• Multi-thousand clip projects load and play uidly
• Mix and match formats such as XDCAM, RED, P2, AVCHD, AVC-Intra, and DSLR cameras freely in
the timeline without rendering
• Experiment uidly in real-time with multiple color corrections and eects and see results in real
time even on complex timelines
• Use real-time keying on multiple clips at all resolutions using the new Ultra keyer
Another signicant advantage of editing with Adobe Premiere Pro is that there is no transcoding or
rewrapping; all footage is natively supported as recorded by the AVCHD camera. You can begin editing
the exact les recorded by the cameras immediately aer shooting, straight from the SD card, or even
straight from the camera -- there is no waiting. You can share media between users and other NLE
systems in its native format. You also maintain the full quality of the footage throughout the entire
production process. In addition, Adobe Premiere Pro provides a full array of export options. Most
common formats can be accessed from the timeline and through Adobe Media Encoder.
