The cross-platform program runs on macOS 10.10 through 10.12 and on Windows 7 through, with the 64-bit versions required. It also requires a minimum of 8GB of RAM (16GB recommended), and a 1,280-by-800 display. The program by itself costs $19.99 per month with an annual commitment or $29.99 month-to-month. You can also get it as part of the complete suite of Adobe professional applications for $49.99 per month ($74.99 month-to-month). There is a free 30-day trial option. Because Premiere is sold as a subscription, not only is the immediate dent on your pocketbook lessened (prior to the new pricing plan, it cost a cool $799.99), but the application is constantly updated with improvements and new capabilities.

When you install Premiere, you also get Adobe Media Encoder, which converts output to a wide variety of formats for online and broadcast. Interface Premiere Pro has a good-looking, flexible interface. The startup view helps you quickly get to projects you've been working on, begin new projects, or search Adobe Stock. The dark program window makes your clips the center of attention, and you can switch among functions like Assembly, Editing, Color, Effects, Audio, and Titles. You can edit these or create your own custom workspaces, and even pull off any of its panels and float them wherever you want on your display(s).

You can now create content bins based on search terms. By default, the editor uses a four-panel layout, with the source preview at top left, a project preview at top right, your project assets at lower-left, and the timeline tracks along the lower right. You can add and remove control buttons to taste; Adobe has removed a bunch by default for a cleaner interface. Since many editors rely on keyboard shortcuts like J, K, and L for navigating through a project, fewer buttons and a cleaner screen make a lot of sense. Fx 5500 Drivers Win7 more. It's a very flexible interface, and you can undock and drag around windows to your heart's content.

When you hover the mouse over a clip in the source panel, it scrubs through the video. Premiere is now touch-friendly, letting you move clips and timeline elements around with a finger or tap buttons. You can also pinch-zoom the timeline or video preview window. You can even set in and out points with a tap on thumbnails in the source bin. Final Cut supports the new Touch Bar, but I prefer the on-screen touch capability, since, unlike the Touch Bar, the touch screen doesn't require you to take your eyes off the screen and therefore your video project. When you click on a media thumbnail, you get a scrubber bar and can mark in and out points right there, before you insert the clip into your project.

Premiere offers several ways to insert a clip into your sequence. You can click the Insert or Overwrite buttons in the source preview monitor, or you can just drag the clip's thumbnail from the media browser onto the timeline or onto the preview monitor. Holding Command (or Ctrl on Windows) makes your clip overwrite the timeline contents.

You can even drag files directly from the OS's file system into the project. The media browser also has tabs for Effects, Markers, and History, the last of which can be help you back to a good spot if you mess up. Markers, too, have been improved, with the ability to attach notes and place multiple markers at the same time point. Markers can have durations in frame time codes, and the Markers tab shows you entries with all this for every marker in a clip or sequence.
