Premiere

Adobe Premiere was video editing software written by Randy Ubillos, software was replaced with Premiere Pro. Originally written for MacOS, Windows versions were also made.

File Format Information

 * Adobe Premiere Version 1 through Version 4 used a project format with extension PPJ with the first 4 bytes  or "Rand" in ascii on a Mac and   or "dnaR" in ascii on Windows. Presumably named after "Randy" the creator". The next 4 bytes are for version.


 * Adobe Premiere Versions 5-6.5 used a project format with extension PPJ with the 32 bytes  or in ascii "[HEAD]signature=Rand version=". Version 6 and 6.5 often have version=7 in header.

Although there was a Windows version 1.1, version 4.0 was the first version on par with MacOS.

Additional format associated with Adobe Premiere are: batch capture lists (Windows filename extension: .PBL), batch processing lists (.HBP), edit decision lists (.EDL), exported file lists (.TXT), filmstrip files (.FLM), motion settings (.PMT), project files (.PPJ), project settings (.PRS), storyboards (.PSQ), and titles (.PTL).

Adobe Premiere Pro up to CS6 could open PPJ files, but later versions dropped support.
