DSLR Workflow in Premiere Pro CS5 - Keying, Time Remapping & Stills
In this short video, Jason Levine will show you how to use the new Ultra Keyer in Premiere Pro CS5 to pull quick keys from your footage, even with unevenly lit green screen. Once again, the 'key' here (ha ha) is the fact that Jason is running this process without rendering, leveraging the Mercury Playback Engine solely in software mode.
In this multi-part series, Jason Levine will cover the step-by-step process of working with DSLR video in Premiere Pro CS5, from the Camera to the Timeline to the Web and beyond. If you're a photographer looking to get into DSLR video, or maybe you're already shooting video but just don't know how to get started, Jason will cover all the basics, including tips for adding images, music, text, PSD files and more, all the way through exporting to popular sites like YouTube and Vimeo.
In Part 2 of this multi-part series, Jason Levine will cover the most common editing functions of Premiere Pro CS5, including the ability to set defaults for image and transition durations, adding transitions between clips & images (like cross-dissolves, dip-to-black and more), basic scaling/resizing, rippling, and cutting.
In Part 3 of this multi-part training series, Jason Levine will showcase some common methods for 'telling your story' with motion and sound. Drop music into your timeline, add markers and time images to specific audio events, as well as animation of position, scale, rotation, opacity and more. Here's how you can begin to (easily) bring your stills to life, alongside your DSLR video.
In Part 4 of this multi-part training series, Adobe Worldwide Evangelist Jason Levine discusses working with layered Photoshop (PSD) files for lower thirds, stylized text and simple animations, as well as using Premiere Pro's own Titler from within the application.

GPU acceleration dramatically increases rendering speeds, whether you’re keying DV or HD.
Accelerated Editing with Enhanced Speech Analysis in Premiere Pro CS5
See how to turn spoken dialogue into searchable text either by synchronizing content with your Adobe Story script, or by using reference scripts that are optimized for your content. Accelerate editing by marking in and out points in the speech analysis text to speed production time.
Get the most out of your hardware investment: native 64 bit support means After Effects can use all available RAM, so it’s easier to work efficiently on complex HD, 2k, and 4k projects.
How to Upgrade Your System for CS5 Production Premium
Today's video production workflows benefit tremendously from applications that are designed to run natively on 64-bit operating systems. Learn what you can do to optimize your hardware for optimum performance.
Use Adobe Story, a collaborative scriptwriting tool, to speed production and post-production. Plan your shoot more efficiently by leveraging your script in Adobe OnLocation to create shot lists and import your clips into Adobe Premiere Pro to create a preliminary rough cut.

Staying Native or Going Intermediate? Transcoding and Premiere Pro CS5
In this brief video, Worldwide Product Evangelist Jason Levine will explain the basis of transcoding, showcasing the workflow outside of CS5; he''ll then show you what a native workflow is all about in Premiere Pro CS5, and explain some scenarios for staying native or moving to an intermediate codec. This video also points out some of the misconceptions about transcoding, but also highlights some of the round-tripping capabilities of CS5 with FCP and AMC.
