This is not a replacement for our CS4 tutorial, so does not cover many of the topics already covered by the CS4 disc, however it does cover some topics which were not covered in the CS4 discs and talks about some specific topics, such as the Mercury Playback Engine, that are only applicable to Premiere Pro CS5. If you already have our CS4 disc then this will be a useful add-on for anyone moving to CS5. If you have CS5 and want complete training in the whole program you will need this disc and out Premiere pro CS4 tutorial. We will be merging the Cs4 and CS5 tutorial in to one set of discs in due course.

New settings in the Media Encoder, using Media Encoder as a standalone, how to load multiple Premiere Pro sequences into the Media Encoder, and new ways of exporting stills in CS5.
Importing and capture
Capturing DV and HDV with CS5, possible problems with capture, audio channel mapping to quickly make all clips mono or stereo, Interpret footage to fix aspect ratio problems, and fixing wobbling and shimmering footage (this section is not about image stabilisation, rather about fixing field and other problems with your footage).
AVCHD
A section devoted to AVCHD editing and Premiere - since computers have got a lot better since the CS4 tutorial we have revised this section entirely. It covers using and importing AVCHD, how to convert footage if your computer is not good enough to edit native footage and dealing with Surround Sound in CS5.
