Fully searchable metadata Thumbnail hover-scrubbing Rough cut export Find the clip you need quickly ? even among terabytes of footage ? with searchable metadata. Add metadata in real time with keyboard entry, during ingest using custom templates, or directly from a script created or edited in Adobe® Story Plus (also in Creative Cloud). Hover-scrub thumbnails in the Project panel. Just move your cursor over the clip to preview it. Share rough cuts faster by exporting directly to Adobe Media Encoder from Prelude. You can also choose to send to Adobe Premiere® Pro for final editing. File renaming on ingest Custom metadata on ingest Script scenes as metadata Set up your own filename presets to automatically rename files upon ingest so you can search and find files more easily. When you create the rules, you get exactly the metadata you need. Prelude lets you create custom metadata templates, so collecting key information becomes an easy and consistent part of the ingest workflow. Working with scripts created in Adobe Story (also in Creative Cloud), you can drag and drop scenes to link them with footage as searchable metadata. Search with word-specific accuracy thanks to speech transcription markers that stay with your footage throughout the production workflow. Full or partial clip ingest Transcoding to multiple formats Heads-up logging Start working faster by ingesting clips in full, or just the portions you want, to save time and reduce storage needs. Set the in and out points right on the clip thumbnails ? Adobe Media Encoder will create a new clip from the marked range. Transcode files to your preferred formats as you ingest clips. Simply set up a primary destination folder and format, add more destinations and their corresponding formats, and then click Ingest. Speed up your logging workflow with a streamlined interface and intelligent keyboard control. Preview clips and log temporal markers and other searchable metadata while keeping your eyes on the footage itself.
