More about
Adobe Creative Suite - Video Production
Adobe CS3 - Master Collection
The Adobe
Creative Suite 3 Production Premium
suite includes upgraded versions of
Adobe After Effects® CS3 Professional,
Adobe Premiere® Pro CS3, Adobe Encore®
CS3, Adobe Photoshop® CS3 Extended (see
separate release), Adobe Illustrator®
CS3, Adobe Flash® CS3 Professional, and
Adobe® Soundbooth™ CS3.
Now
post-production and rich media
professionals have a complete,
cross-platform, integrated workflow that
enables them to create and deliver
visually innovative projects for film,
broadcast, web, DVD, and mobile devices.
Adobe
Creative Suite Production Premium will
support Intel-based Macintosh systems,
Microsoft® Windows® XP, and Windows
Vista™, with the software optimized to
deliver outstanding performance on the
latest hardware. Adobe After Effects is
also available for Macintosh as a
Universal Binary application.
“With
Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production
Premium the video editing market just
got a whole lot more interesting,” said
John Loiacono, senior vice president of
Creative Solutions at Adobe. “We’re back
on the Mac with a great cross-platform
suite that will enable new levels of
expressiveness and productivity over
multiple mediums. With Flash technology
emerging as the standard for mass
distribution of video across the
Internet—bringing TV shows online, and
powering the video capabilities of
YouTube and MySpace—our Production suite
is at the cutting edge of video and rich
media workflows.”
Professional Results with Unmatched
Integration
Adobe
Creative Suite 3 Production Premium
covers the full capture-to-delivery
workflow with its integrated
applications and time-saving utilities.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 offers enhanced
features such as new format support and
a unique Time Remapping tool that
improves slow motion and variable speed
effects. The industry standard for
visual effects and motion graphics—After
Effects CS3—now offers: Shape Layers for
drawing and animating vector shapes; the
Puppet tool for stretching and
manipulating 2D images as lifelike
animations; and the Brainstorm tool for
interactively generating and previewing
animation variations. For audio,
Soundbooth CS3 enables users to create
professional-quality soundtracks for
their productions.
“Having
worked with Academy Award winning
filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese,
James Cameron, and Robert De Niro, we
are always in search of the most
efficient ways to produce our most
demanding work,” said Rob Legato,
director and supervisor for The
Basement. “Adobe Creative Suite 3
Production Premium makes our workflow
easier than ever with its new
integration among our favorite Adobe
applications like Adobe After Effects
and Adobe Premiere Pro. Going after that
ever-elusive perfect shot has never been
more creatively stimulating or seamless
as it is now.”
With the
new video layer support in Photoshop CS3
Extended, professionals can easily edit,
paint, and clone between frames, and
then export standard video formats. New
Document Profiles for video in
Illustrator CS3 ensure that graphics are
cropped to video-safe sizes and ratios.
Production Premium includes Flash CS3
Professional, enabling a seamless
workflow with After Effects and Encore,
so projects can now be published to the
web through streamlined workflows. Adobe
Dynamic Link eliminates rendering as
users interchange media between Adobe
Premiere Pro CS3, After Effects CS3, and
Encore DVD CS3, and Clip Notes enables
producers and other reviewers to embed
time-code specific comments in Adobe PDF
format directly into clips for faster
review.
Special
additions to Adobe Creative Suite 3
Production Premium include Adobe
OnLocation™ CS3 for direct-to-disk
recording and monitoring, and Adobe
Ultra® CS3 software for chroma keying.
The new Adobe OnLocation CS3 saves time
in the field with its direct-to-disk
recording and monitoring, offering the
ability to shoot with higher quality on
site. Both Adobe OnLocation CS3 and
Adobe Ultra CS3 support only
Windows-based systems.
Multi-format delivery, anywhere
Adobe
Creative Suite 3 Production Premium lets
creatives capture and deliver across a
broad range of formats. OnLocation CS3
records DV and HDV directly to disk,
which is easily accessible through Adobe
Premiere Pro CS3 for a streamlined
editorial workflow, including support
for HD, SD and HDV formats. Adobe Encore
DVD CS3 now supports the ability to
author and deliver professional titles
on standard-definition DVD and
high-definition Blu-ray Disc. Flash CS3
Professional lets users export video
projects to the web in the .flv format
and includes the Adobe Media Encoder to
export video for mobile phones, iPods,
and other devices.
