Premiere Pro trial versions

The trial version of Premiere Pro CS5 doesn't include some features that depend on third-party software components that are only included in the
full version of Premiere Pro. The import and export of some formats are not supported in the trial version, such as AVC-Intra, AVCHD, HDV,
MPEG-2, MPEG-2 DVD, MPEG-2 Blu-ray, and XDCAM. For a detailed list of limitations of the trial version of Premiere Pro software, see the

Adobe website

.

The trial version for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later does not have the limitations that Premiere Pro CS5 has. It includes all sequence
presets, editing modes, encoders, and decoders that are included in the full, activated version of Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later. However, after
downloading the trial version of Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, you do not receive the title templates or non-English speech-to-text dictionaries
(speech analysis models). These items are available for download after you have purchased the software.

Watch this lesson

by Video2Brain to learn about improvements in the free trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later-most notably, the

inclusion of all encoders and decoders. Now the trial version can import and export the same formats as the full version.
