Preview files Preview files made on one platform are not available on the other. When a project is opened on a
different platform, Adobe Premiere Pro re-renders the preview files. When that project is then opened on its
original platform, Adobe Premiere Pro must render the preview files yet again.
High bit-depth files Windows AVI files containing either 10-bit 4:2:2 uncompressed video (v210), or 8bit 4:2:2
uncompressed video (UYVU) are not supported on the Mac.
Preview rendering Playback quality of unrendered non-native files (for example, AVI on Mac OS and MOV on
Windows) will not be as high as playback quality of these files on their native platforms. Preview files must be
rendered for them on the current platform. Preview files always are rendered in a native format. A red bar in the
timeline indicates which sections contain files needing rendering.

Cross-application workflows
You can make use of various other Adobe applications to enhance or modify the assets used in an Adobe Premiere
Pro project.
• Launch Adobe Bridge from within Adobe Premiere Pro, use Adobe Bridge to organize, tag and find assets, and
then use it to place them in various applications, including Adobe Premiere Pro, for modification. (See Adobe
Bridge Help.)
• Import layered Photoshop files, Illustrator files, After Effects projects, files made with the previous version of the
Adobe Title Designer, and various files made with Adobe Premiere 6.0, all into Adobe Premiere Pro. (See “ Import
files ” on page 74.)
• Use the Edit Original command in Adobe Premiere Pro to edit an asset in the application in which it was
generated. (See “
Edit a clip in its original application ” on page 162.)
• Use the Edit In Adobe Soundbooth command in Adobe Premiere Pro to edit an audio file or soundtrack in
Soundbooth. (See “
About editing audio in Adobe Soundbooth ” on page 214.)
• Use Adobe Dynamic Link to create a new After Effects composition from within an Adobe Premiere Pro project.
Any changes made to that composition in After Effects will immediately appear in Adobe Premiere Pro without
a need for rendering. (See “
About Dynamic Link (Production Premium only) ” on page 167)
• Export any sequence from Adobe Premiere Pro into Adobe Encore for authoring, mastering, and burning to
DVDs or Blu-ray Discs. (See “

• Export any sequence to Adobe Flash Video for web delivery, or further authoring in Adobe Flash or Adobe
Dreamweaver. (See “
About exporting for the web ” on page 407.)
About Adobe Bridge
Adobe® Bridge CS3 is a cross-platform tool included with Adobe® Creative Suite® 3. It helps you locate, organize,
and browse both Adobe and non-Adobe assets that you need to create print, web, video, and audio content. You can
start Adobe Bridge from any Adobe Creative Suite application except Acrobat 8.
From Adobe Bridge, you can do the following:
• Manage image, footage, and audio files: you can view, search, sort, and process files. You can also edit metadata
for files in Adobe Bridge, and place files into documents, projects, or compositions.
• Work with Adobe Version Cue-managed assets.
