In 1991, the first version of '''Adobe Premiere''' was developed by [[Adobe Inc.|Adobe Inc''.'']] Premiere was one of the first computer-based non-linear [[video editing software|editing systems]], with the first version being released on [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] [[Macintosh|Mac]] in 1991 and for [[Microsoft Windows]] in September 1993.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-05-05|title=An Oral History of Adobe Premiere Software Evolution: The First 25 Years|url=https://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/news/oral-history-adobe-premiere-software-evolution-first-25-years-618356|access-date=2020-12-29|website=Creative Planet Network|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201022175126/https://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/news/oral-history-adobe-premiere-software-evolution-first-25-years-618356|archive-date=2020-10-22|language=en-US}}</ref> The final version, version 6.5, was released in August 2002 for both Windows and Mac.

The software originated at [[UMAX SuperMac|SuperMac Technology]] under the name Reel Time, a [[QuickTime]]-based video editor developed for the company’s Video Spigot capture card. In August 1991, [[Adobe Systems]] acquired the project and rebranded it as Adobe Premiere.<ref name="steveblank-supermacwar10-videospigot">"[https://steveblank.com/2009/05/11/supermac-war-story-x-the-video-spigot/ SuperMac War Story 10: The Video Spigot]" by Steve Blank. May 11, 2009.</ref>

Premiere was the second [[QuickTime]]-based video editor on the market.<ref name="tidbits-videospigot-review">"[https://tidbits.com/1992/04/20/videospigot-review/ VideoSpigot Review]" by Jon Pugh, TidBITS. April 20, 1992.</ref> Its ability to import new [[video formats]] could be enhanced by updating to a newer, compatible version of QuickTime. However, it could only process videos and images at a maximum width of 1,024 [[Pixel|pixels]].<ref name="youtube-computerclan-adobepremiere1.0">{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eubyadfqkUA |title=Video Editing on Adobe Premiere 1.0 (from 1991) – Krazy Ken's Tech Misadventures |date=2018-11-15 |last=Computer Clan |access-date=2025-04-14 |via=YouTube}}</ref>

== Features ==
Premiere Pro supports [[Image resolution|high-resolution]] video editing up to 10,240 × 8,192 pixels<ref>{{Cite web |last=HelpX |first=Adobe |date=August 24, 2024 |title=Learn about the latest video, audio, and still-image formats that are supported by Adobe Premiere Pro. |url=https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/supported-file-formats.html |url-status=live |access-date=May 2, 2025 |website=helpx.adobe.com}}</ref> and 32-bit color depth in both [[RGB color model|RGB]] and [[Y′UV|YUV]] color spaces. Key audio features include sample-level editing, support for [[Virtual Studio Technology|VST plugins]], and 5.1 [[surround sound]] mixing. The software is compatible with a wide range of video and audio formats and [[Codec|codecs]] on both macOS and Windows. Using the [[CineForm|Cineform Neo]] codec, it supports 3D editing.

=== Workflow integration ===
Premiere Pro supports program files from [[Adobe Photoshop]], [[Adobe Illustrator]], and [[Adobe After Effects]]. Premiere Pro projects can also be imported into [[Adobe After Effects|After Effects]], and clips copied between the two applications retain most of their attributes. 

Projects from Premiere Rush are compatible with Premiere Pro,<ref>{{cite web |date=Oct 15, 2018 |title=Edit Rush video in Premiere Pro |url=https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-rush/how-to/edit-rush-videos-in-premiere-pro.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230623143615/https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-rush/how-to/edit-rush-videos-in-premiere-pro.html |archive-date=Jun 23, 2023 |via=Adobe Help Center}}</ref> allowing for advanced editing features and use of professional-grade tools.

==== Adobe Story, On Location and Prelude ====

The Premiere Pro workflow integrates [[metadata]] across all stages of video production. Adobe Story provides [[Script (Unicode)|script]] integration functionality within the Premiere Pro workflow, and [[Adobe OnLocation]] embeds metadata directly into the [[footage]]. Within Premiere Pro, [[speech recognition]] technology analyzes audio and aligns it with the corresponding script [[dialogue]] using embedded metadata.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Aldred |first=John |date=2021-07-20 |title=Adobe Premiere Pro now has AI speech recognition for automatic subtitle creation |url=https://www.diyphotography.net/adobe-premiere-pro-now-has-ai-speech-recognition-for-automatic-subtitle-creation/ |access-date=2025-04-03 |website=DIY Photography |language=en-US}}</ref>
