Adobe to bring back Mac Premiere edition

Software industry giants Adobe is likely to announce that they are going to revive a Mac version of Premiere. Adobe Premiere is a video program aimed at professional editors and the company stopped making a Mac version of it some years back. Adobe however did continue developing the motion-graphics application, After Effects for the Mac platform.

This release is expected to be exclusive for the Intel processor powered Mac owners and it should become a part of the company’s Production Studio suite which is also likely to include Adobe Encore DVD and Adobe Soundbooth.

Simon Hayhurst, director of product management for dynamic media at Adobe spoke about this decision: “If you look at the industry as a whole, Mac customers are very important to us. Pulling Premiere from the Mac was probably the hardest decision we ever made. It was always our intention to bring that back, and Apple’s move to Intel made it easier.”

Adobe further confirmed that the Mac version of Premiere would include all the functionalities offered by the PC version. Premiere and the Adobe Production Studio are likely to be released by the middle of the current year.
