DMN Interview Part 1: Talking About Premiere Pro
Page 3 of 3
DMN: Is there anything in Premiere Pro for a film shop that does 24p, maybe using Avid? Is there interoperability between the two?
Townhill: We have interoperability, yes, because in Premiere we now export AAF [Advanced Authoring Format] files. Our tests have been done specifically with Avid systems. So for example, you can edit a project entirely in Premiere, and you can export that as an AAF file, and that AAF file will be read by the Avid system. So, for example, you could use Premiere and you could go to a Symphony, or you could go to Xpress DV, or basically, the choice is yours. So now, Premiere forms part of the overall professional workflow, which is something that was not done before. You can put it in a professional studio knowing full well that you can interchange data between Premiere sessions and the Avid sessions. You asked about 24p. We support frame rates, which basically covers almost everything. We're basically resolution- and frame-rate independent. So by default, Premiere is a DV application, but at this show [DV Expo], you will see that we have a number of partners that are coming out with analog capture devices, HD capture devices, and a whole bunch of different resolutions and formats -- input and output into Premiere. A specific answer to your question: Yes, we support 24p.
Next: Part two where Townhill talks about the development effort behind Premiere Pro, and the reasons for the lack of Mac support for the application. Click on these words for the second part of this exclusive DMN interview.
