Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based and non-linear video editing software application (NLE) developed by Adobe Inc. and published as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud licensing program. First launched in 2003, Adobe Premiere Pro is a successor of Adobe Premiere (first launched in 1991). It is geared towards professional video editing, while its sibling, Adobe Premiere Elements, targets the consumer market. CNN was an early adopter of Adobe Premiere Pro. Also, in 2007, certain BBC departments adopted Premiere Pro. It has been used to edit feature films, such as Deadpool, Gone Girl, Captain Abu Raed, Terminator: Dark Fate and Monsters, and other venues such as Madonna's Confessions Tour. History Original Adobe Premiere The original version of Adobe Premiere was developed by Adobe Systems. It was first launched in 1991, and its final version was released in 2002. Premiere was one of the first computer non-linear editing systems. The first version for Mac released in 1991, and the first version for Microsoft Windows was released in September 1993. The project began at SuperMac Technology as ReelTime, a QuickTime-based video editor for its VideoSpigot video capture card.

As a result, its ability to import new video formats could also be upgraded by updating to a newer compatible version of Quicktime. However, it was limited to processing video and images that were 1024 pixels wide, or less. Premiere included 24 transition effects and a plug-in architecture that was compatible with some Photoshop filters. Release of Adobe Premiere Pro It was replaced by Adobe Premiere Pro (introduced in 2003), a rewritten version of Adobe Premiere. Premiere Pro is the successor to Adobe Premiere and was launched in 2003. Premiere Pro refers to versions released in 2003 and later, whereas Premiere refers to the earlier releases. Premiere was based on ReelTime, a product acquired from SuperMac Technologies Inc. and was one of the first computer-based NLEs (non-linear editing system), with its first release on Mac in 1991. Adobe briefly abandoned the Mac platform after version 6 of Premiere. Up until version Premiere Pro 2.0 (CS2), the software packaging featured
