Adobe Premiere Pro
The industry-standard NLE with Lumetri color grading and Creative Cloud integration
About Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro is the most widely used professional non-linear editor in broadcast, film, and online video. Its Lumetri Color panel offers a full grading workflow — basic correction, creative LUTs, curves, color wheels, HSL secondaries, and vignettes — plus support for ACES and tight integration with After Effects, Photoshop, and Frame.io for review. Premiere's strength is breadth: it handles almost any codec, plays well with team workflows via Productions, and ties into the broader Creative Cloud for graphics and motion design.
