We installed Premiere 6.5 on a number of computers and found that hardware was critical to the performance of the application. With version 6.5, Premiere joins the software-only real-time preview club. These applications show previews of transitions and effects without the time-consuming step of rendering and they don’t need support from costly capture cards to do so. During the intermission, competitors have released editions of their products with software-only real-time previews. The 6.5 release is the first major upgrade to this tool since the version 6.0 release almost two years ago.


Adobe Premiere is a very popular software video editor.
