Premiere included 24 transition effects and a plug-in architecture that was compatible with some Photoshop filters. However, it was limited to processing video and images that were 1024 pixels wide, or less. As a result, its ability to import new video formats could also be upgraded by updating to a newer compatible version of Quicktime. Premiere was one of the first QuickTime-based video editors on the market.

Ubillos also left SuperMac to join Adobe. The software project was acquired by Adobe Systems in August 1991 and was renamed Adobe Premiere. SuperMac engineer Randy Ubillos created a working demo of ReelTime in about 10 weeks while QuickTime was still in beta. The project began at SuperMac Technology as ReelTime, a QuickTime-based video editor for its VideoSpigot video capture card. The first version for Mac released in 1991, and the first version for Microsoft Windows was released in September 1993. Introduced in December 1991, Premiere was one of the first computer non-linear editing systems.
