Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the availability of a free HDVâ„¢ plug-in for Adobe® Premiere® Pro 1.5, its award-winning professional video editing software. The HDV plug-in expands IEEE-1394 support in Adobe Premiere Pro, enabling the software to work directly with the HDV format through a new generation of high-definition cameras such as Sony’s HDR-Z1 and HDR-FX1. Using Adobe Premiere Pro, in conjunction with new HDV cameras, video professionals can now quickly and easily capture, edit, and output broadcast-quality high-definition video.

“The rapid adoption of HD is transforming film, video and broadcasting– and the introduction of the new HDV cameras is moving HD further towards the mainstream,” said Steve Saylor, vice president of Digital Video and Audio for Adobe. “Adobe Premiere Pro now has the best HDV support of any desktop editing tool, ensuring that stunning HD projects can now be produced at a fraction of the cost of expensive proprietary systems.”

Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5, the industry leading video editing software, is available as an individual product or as part of the Adobe Video Collection 2.5, which includes the latest versions of Adobe After Effects®, Adobe Audition™, and Adobe Encore™ DVD software. The professional version of the Adobe Video Collection 2.5 also includes Adobe Photoshop® CS software.
