PPRO
The Premiere Pro (or PPRO) initial release was officially called Premiere Pro with no numbers. However, some help documents refer to it as PPro 7. Many people refer to it as PPRO 1. PPRO, PPRO7, PPRO1 are all the same thing that Adobe officially named simply PPRO.
This release was a significant re-write of Premiere. Rumored to be "written from the ground up" adobe marketed this release as a Professional version of premiere which was often considered a "hobbyist tool". Indeed this release saw some similarities with After Effects, in fact many AE plugins work in this release of PPRO. Real nested sequences is a highlighted new addition to PRO. With any "point zero" release PPRO had its share of bugs or left out features.
PPRO 1.5
Some features added: Bezier keyframes, Auto Filters such as Auto Levels, Auto Contrast, Auto Color (although they are buggy) , and project manager.
Not as much in this release as many hoped for.. Project Manager is a nice addition, but it was in Premiere 6.5 and removed in the release of PPRO. Glad to see it back. Various bug fixes and a few new features. Many consider this release a patch rather than a release. More stable; nice to have.
PPRO 2.0
Main Features added: MultiCam Editing was added, Clip Notes reviews, Basic DVD authoring from the timeline, Better color orrection tools, Adobe Bridge, GPU Accelerated Processing. New Panel UI, Scrolling Timeline, 32 bit internal color processing, 10 bit and 16 bit color resolution support, RS422 and RS-232 support, native HD support, integration via Dynamic Links with other Adobe apps such as AE.
MultiCam is a real time saver if you do multi cam shoots. PPRO 2 no longer conforms audio files that match the project settings. This is a huge space saver and time saver.
Track Mattes were fixed (IMHO). Much easier to use now
I haven't heard of many people who like the native HD support. Most buy 3rd party plugins for HD support.
GPU Acceleration sounds good, but in reality does very little. Just a few cheesy transitions use it, it seems.
I find this release to be very stable. Rock solid in my experience. I pound on it, abuse it, run Dynamic Link. I've burned DVDs with Encore while rushing an edit with PPRO* and it keeps right on going. A workhorse release. Dynamic Link is very nice.
