I say minor as it didn’t look that different but to be honest I don’t use Bridge very often. But in 2020 Adobe did target video in a minor update. Bridge has been around a lot longer than Prelude and it doesn’t seem like it’s gotten a lot of video-oriented love over the years either. While Bridge can work with video files I think it’s most associated with still images. What is Bridge you ask? It’s an asset manager from Adobe that’s been around for ages. I’d love to see Prelude’s subclip markers in Premiere Pro.Īdobe does still offer Bridge. As of now there really aren’t any unless you count the Media Browser and tossing files into Media Encoder. The emphasis there is mine as I’m intrigued as to what pre-production workflows might be coming to Premiere. In that time, we have taken learnings from Prelude and shifted our development focus towards streamlining pre-production workflows in Premiere Pro.
In 2012, we launched Prelude as a dedicated video pre-production tool to prepare media for editorial in Premiere Pro. Curiously, in the Prelude End of life webpage, Adobe says this under Why is Adobe discontinuing Prelude: If you do use it you can keep on using it and Adobe will support it for another three years. We may never know why Prelude seemed to wither on the vine but it did and in just under a month it will be gone. But it didn’t get a lot of development over the years and frankly, I could do most of what I wanted to do with it in Premiere and often do it faster. The little app looked like it had promise when it was teased back in 2012 and I actually used it a bit here and there over the years when ingesting on set. If you didn’t even know Prelude existed then that is okay too. From Adobe: “ Effective September 8, 2021, Prelude will no longer be available on .” If you are not shocked by this then that’s okay. You may not have heard that Adobe is putting their metadata ingest, logging and rough cuts app Adobe Prelude out to pasture.
