Rerecord sections of your edit, make fine adjustments using standard timeline editing tools, and easily adjust color correction across multiple shots, even after editing.

Advanced color-correction tools
Use primary and secondary color-correction tools to match shots; change colors; correct exposure errors; and modify highlights, midtones, and shadows across clips, sequences, or entire projects.

Time remapping
Use slow motion to create dramatic effects that focus on the action. With a streamlined, on-clip interface, the time remapping feature makes it easy to speed up, slow down, reverse, and hold frames with precision.

Professional on-set monitoring with Adobe OnLocation CS3
Maximize camera image quality during shoots by using Adobe OnLocation CS3 to quickly calibrate your camera, check levels, and monitor your signal. Use simple tools that function like their hardware equivalents to get results quickly and easily. The virtual reference monitor, waveform monitor, vectorscope, and audio spectrum analyzer help you avoid problems and improve quality when shooting.

Surround sound editing
Create and manipulate 5.1 multichannel audio to produce true surround sound and other richly layered audio experiences.

Clip replacing
Easily swap out clips in the timeline without having to re-create settings. Replace any clip in the timeline with a new clip that preserves the original clip’s attributes. All effects and keyframes are retained, and, if necessary, the new clip is trimmed to fit the duration of the original one.

Ripple, rolling, slip-and-slide edits
Make complex edits in one step using the advanced editing tools professionals depend on. Trim and adjust footage with single actions that would otherwise require multiple steps.

Auto-color adjustment

Audio keyframing
Create smooth audio crossfades and other audio changes with a minimal number of keyframes. Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 creates fewer audio keyframes over a given time interval, simplifying editing and preserving system resources.

Animated track-matte workflow
Easily create traveling mattes by applying effects and animation to individual track-matte clips.

Precise keyframe controls with Bezier handles
