In 2012, we launched Prelude as a dedicated video pre-production tool to prepare media for editorial in Premiere Pro. However, due to the changing needs of video professionals and content creators, we have discontinued Prelude. We have taken learnings from Prelude and shifted our development focus towards streamlining pre-production workflows in Premiere Pro.

Prelude was designed as a pre-production tool for organizing camera media before editing in Premiere Pro. Many users will be able to consolidate their pre-production workflow in Premiere Pro which supports camera media ingest and marker workflows for basic logging.
