Getting Started
Prerequisites
Before beginning to use 
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Classroom in a Book
, make sure 
your system is set up correctly and that you’ve installed the required software and 
hardware. You should have a working knowledge of your computer and operat-
ing system. You should know how to use the mouse and standard menus and 
commands and also how to open, save, and close files. If you need to review these 
techniques, see the printed or online documentation included with your Windows 
or Mac OS system.
Installing Adobe Premiere Pro CS5
You must purchase the Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 software separately from this 
book. For system requirements and complete instructions on installing the soft-
ware, see the document Adobe Premiere Pro ReadMe.html on the software DVD.
Install Adobe Premiere Pro from the Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 software DVD onto 
your hard disk; you cannot run the program from the DVD. If you purchased the 
download version of Adobe Premiere Pro, follow the instructions included with the 
download for launching the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions. 
The installation process also installs Adobe® Encore® CS5, Adobe® OnLocation™ 
CS5, Adobe® Bridge CS5, and some shared components.
Make sure your serial number is accessible before installing the application; you 
can find the serial number on the registration card, on the back of the DVD case, 
or in your user account online if you purchased the download version.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 trial
Adobe offers a 30-day trial of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. You can download this trial 
from the Adobe product website. After 30 days, the software will stop functioning. 
If you decide to purchase Adobe Premiere Pro, you can enter your purchased serial 
number into the trial version you have installed to convert it to a full version of 
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
#
 Note:
The Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 trial is fully functioning and is a great way for you to try the 
features. However, a few features are disabled in the trial version.
Specifically, the trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 does not include some features that 
depend on software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, some codecs for 
encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of Adobe Premiere Pro.
