Pro has several colour effects, including the powerful Lumetri Color, which includes RGB curves, separate wheels for shadows, mid-tones, and highlights. Let’s take colour grading features as an example. All clips and effects in Premiere Pro can be keyframed – for example, you can adjust the opacity or positioning of a clip over time with minute precision, while this is not possible in Premiere Rush. Premiere Pro has much more flexibility than Rush. The major differences reveal themselves when you want to go in-depth with manipulating parts of your edit.

Despite being part of a significantly scaled-down program, the main editing functions feel similar and are easy to learn. Though the basic layout is the same, with the media browser on the left, preview monitor and timeline in the middle, and effects controls on the right, all the functionality is contained within one simple interface.

Premiere Rush (opens in new tab)’s workspace is much simpler. When you’ve finished your basic edit, you can use a tabs bar at the top to go into different workspaces designed for different jobs, such as Colour, Effects, and Audio. Its main editing layout, despite looking complicated at first, is quite intuitive, with media browser and clip controls on the left, preview monitor at the top centre, multitrack timeline on the bottom, and effect controls on the right.

Premiere Pro (opens in new tab) is a comprehensive editing program packed with all the features that you need to edit video to a standard suitable for broadcast TV or cinema.
