Using Premiere pro as a science tool

What sort of things would you hope to do, with PPro?

Not to discount the brilliance of PP, but it is simply a tool, like a hammer.  Do you use hammers in science?  Yes., so yes you can use PP as a scientific tool. 

PP is a nondestructive video image processor, so you can manipulate the raw space images, provided they're in standard video or still image formats.  If the images or footage is not in a "standard" format that Premier can read, however, Premier might not be a good tool. Check the specs to be sure it can accommodate your source material.

Of course, the whole Adobe Creative Cloud suite provides a lot of other tools.  If they meet your needs for scientific study, go for it!
