Benchmark description

Adobe Premier Pro* CS3 software allows you to produce videos. The project workload contains two 30-second segments HDV 1080p25 footage with a cross-dissolve transition applied across the entire 60s. The performance test measures the time to render a non-realtime preview of the first 7s (210 frames). This involves reading the two HDV source streams, applying the cross-dissolve, the Three-Way Color Corrector, and then encoding the result to a HDV. This chart displays a normalized result to the Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor QX9650.
