Solutions for Adobe CS4, Premiere 4.1

With the release of Premiere 4.1 Adobe is bringing back the 3rd party plugin functionality which users know from earlier Premiere versions. Also proDAD plugins for Premiere can be used comfortable and various again. Very important:
it´s reuired to always use Premiere 4.1 in combination with the latest Servicepacks of each installed proDAD product.

Adorage 3.0.58 (video effect and transition plugin)
Status: Use possible without problems in Premiere 4.1 and the latest servicepack

Heroglyph 2.6.29 (video effect plugin)
Status: Use possible without problems in Premiere 4.1 and the latest servicepack

VitaScene 1.0.43 (video effect and transition plugin)

Mercalli 1.0.16 (video effect plugin)

Additional recommendations:
In Premiere make sure that the settings of the used videoclip are EXACTLY according to the settings of the used sequence. This is the only guarantee for the best quality in stabilization. In this context please check the videoclip’s format (height x width in pixel), the aspect ratio, as well as the field order setting. In addition please note that for a best possible stabilization the videoclip’s field order setting needs to be also defined manually in Mercalli.
