Not all applications in the Creative Suite are designed to share work dynamically. This lesson introduces some other options, such as one-way trips and the Edit Original command.

Premiere Pro can analyze the audio of your clips to produce text that can be used to speed up your editing process. Story can help improve the accuracy of the analysis, and in some situations make it word-perfect, as you'll see in this lesson.

There are several ways to send compositions from After Effects to Premiere Pro, and in this lesson we'll explore each of them.

One option for preparing your video files is to apply an initial pre-grade, perhaps to deal with any obvious issues or match up shots from different cameras, angles, or lighting setups. This lesson will show you how to take your graded media files and output them to name-matched, time-code matched copies ready for editing.

The most common use of SpeedGrade is in the final stages of finishing an edit. This lesson will show you two ways to send your work from Premiere Pro to SpeedGrade for fine finishing.

In a few short steps, you can share a sequence between Premiere Pro and Encore, allowing for easy changes at any stage in post-production. This lesson will show you how.

Premiere Pro can send work to the Adobe Media Encoder directly or queue the work so you can get on with editing while transcoding takes place in the background. This lesson will show you how.

In the past, you'd have to use the Render Queue in After Effects to output your finished work. Not so now! This lesson shows you how to open an After Effects project in the Media Encoder to render your compositions in the background.
