<p>Check the supported video formats of Adobe Premiere <a href="http://www.adobe.com/hk_en/products/premiere/extend.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. And i don't think it would loss some video quality because it's very powerful and professional, that's one of the reasons why people like to spend such much money for it.</p>
