Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium

Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium

Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 Production Premium software is a must-have solution for creative professionals who need to craft world-class video, audio, and interactive media — on air, online, on device, and invariably on deadline.

Features

    * Powerful integration, including expanded Adobe Dynamic Link, for exceptional productivity
    * Work with unparalleled efficiency, so you have more time to craft your vision. For example, expanded Adobe Dynamic Link lets you link content between Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 Production Premium components, so you can see updates immediately without rendering.
    * Project intelligence with XMP metadata
    * Capture valuable XMP metadata from your camera, and accumulate key information throughout the production process for intelligent media management. Use new Speech Search technology in Adobe Premiere® Pro and Soundbooth® to turn spoken dialog into metadata, making it easy to find particular clips and make video assets searchable.
    * Direct-to-disk recording and tapeless workflows
    * Shoot footage directly to disk from non-file-based cameras with redesigned Adobe OnLocation™ CS4, which now runs natively on Windows® and Intel® based Mac OS systems. Import and natively edit a wide variety of tapeless formats — including RED, P2, XDCAM EX and HD, and AVCHD — without transcoding or rewrapping in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.
    * Wide variety of output options
    * Deliver on film, on video, on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, online, and on mobile devices with smooth efficiency to reach more audiences.
    * Collaboration with clients and colleagues
    * Use the Adobe ConnectNow service to share project storyboards online before you shoot, and access Resource Central to find new assets.
    * Editing efficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
    * Utilize scalable, efficient, and flexible nonlinear video-editing capabilities and superior integration with other Creative Suite 4 components to tell your most compelling stories. New native support for tapeless workflows and more than 50 enhancements make the editing process more efficient.
    * Motion graphics and visual effects with Adobe After Effects CS4
    * Be more productive with Adobe After Effects® CS4: Searchable timelines and projects, easier navigation of nested compositions, expanded 3D compositing options including the ability to import 3D layers from Adobe Photoshop® CS4 Extended, and the new Cartoon effect help you work more efficiently and open up new creative possibilities.
    * Industry-standard design with Adobe Illustrator CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended
