File formats supported for import
Adobe Premiere Pro can import a number of video and audio formats. It also supports 10-bit color depth,
sometimes useful for editing standard and high-definition footage.
File format support is provided by plug-in software modules. Most of these software modules are installed automat-
ically with Adobe Premiere Pro.
Adobe Premiere Pro supports four-channel assets. Every processed pixel in its render pipeline uses four channels.
When it processes a three-channel asset, such as DV, HDV, or MPEG footage, as when it has to add an effect or
transition, Adobe Premiere Pro automatically converts it to a four-channel asset.
