Adobe will announce on today (Thursday) that it will revive a Mac version of Premiere, the software maker’s video program aimed at professional editors. The new Mac version will only run on Intel-based Macs and will be part of a larger Adobe Production Studio suite that will include Adobe Encore DVD and Adobe Soundbooth.
Adobe dropped Mac support for Premiere in July 2003. At the time, the company cited Apple’s increased efforts in the digital-video market, particularly with its Final Cut editing application. While Premiere disappeared from the Mac platform, Adobe continued to develop its motion-graphics application, After Effects, for Mac video pros.
