This morning Adobe announced the availability of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 version 4.2, a free update for existing customers of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The new version provides compatibility for Panasonic’s AVC-Intra format. Support for AVC-Intra augments Adobe’s existing support for tapeless cameras such as RED, Sony XDCAM EX and HD, Panasonic P2, and AVCHD, providing users with the industry’s most efficient workflow without transcoding or rewrapping.
Other features include critical updates for leading post-production hardware, including third party IO support, Final Cut Pro import, and other bug fixes. Final Cut Pro 7 users can now transfer projects directly to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 version 4.2 without conversions or re-rendering, preserving commonly-used effects and transitions.
A data sheet and Adobe TV video are available with more information on this release.
The update itself can be downloaded from the Adobe Updater tool in the software, or at the updates page on adobe.com.
Future Releases of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, 64-bit Only
As you may have heard, last month Adobe announced that future releases of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects will only support 64-bit operating systems. 64-bit operating systems provide video professionals with significant performance enhancements and because of these benefits, the majority have already transitioned to 64-bit capable systems.
A white paper is available to explain more details.
