MainConcept MPEG Pro HD Plug-In for Adobe Premiere Pro

DISCONTINUED
MainConcept MPEG Pro HD Plug-In for Adobe Premiere Pro
MainConcept MPEG Pro HD is a full-featured MPEG editing solution for Adobe Premiere Pro.

Although Premiere Pro will import MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 material, it does not offer native MPEG editing or smart MPEG rendering. This means that MPEG data needs to be converted to another format (such as DV) for editing, and each frame must be re-rendered even if no changes have been made. And if your target format is MPEG, you\'ll need to convert your finished project back to MPEG.

The MainConcept MPEG Pro plug-in eliminates these limitations and turns MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 editing into a productive, high-quality workflow.

Features

Realtime capture to MPEG from various analog and digital sources. Eliminate rendering time by capturing directly to the format you\'ll be editing.

Support for Sony MICROMV camcorders. Capture directly from MICROMV devices, edit with ease and export back to the camcorder or to other formats.

MPEG import. Import and edit existing MPEG files.

Native MPEG editing with smart rendering. Edit MPEG material without unnecessary rendering - only changed frames are rendered.

IEEE 1394 output during editing and scrubbing.

DV support. Edit MPEG and DV material with equal ease.

Ultra-fast performance. Edit with up to realtime performance at DVD resolution.

Smart requantizing. Convert material from one MPEG format to another (for example from MICROMV to DVD-compliant MPEG-2) without re-encoding - save time and prevent quality loss.

Premiere Pro includes MainConcept\'s MPEG encoding technology for exporting MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. But the new MPEG Pro plug-in is much more than just an encoder. It gives Premiere a full-featured MPEG editing mode, the ability to capture directly to MPEG, and many more features as described on the left side of this page.

HD Version

Although this version does not offer HD acceleration, it allows editing of HD video. The high-definition performance depends on system capabilities and the free demo version makes it possible for users to evaluate the performance on their own systems. With the HD version you can capture directly into Premiere Pro from JVC's JY-HD10U camcorder, and export back to the camcorder or to a D-VHS deck. Now it fully supports Sony HDV range.

System requirements: Any PC which meets Adobe\'s System Requirements for Premiere Pro (Windows XP required); requires Adobe Premiere Pro (not included). For HD video editing we highly recommend an Intel Pentium 4 processor with Hyper Threading technology at 3 GHz or faster and at least 1 GB of RAM.
