Awesome new Adobe Editing Programs

Recommended Posts

Just as I was finishing off the year end DVD, Adobe came out with their completly new versions of their software. I wish I had them 6 months earlier because it would have made my work much, much easier. Click and watch a short FLASH presentation of the highlights:

Encore v2.0
5min 06sec

Premiere Pro v2.0
5min 45sec

After Effects v7.0
8min 53sec

Yes I know all you APPLE people "fighting the evil communist establishment" are not interested in this. I am also aware that my car randomly and without reason crashes into the curb. I would still choose this type of car mainly because it has 48,000 gas stations to fill up at other than the mighty APPLE's 3 gas stations.

I installed the Adobe Production Suite last weekend and have only done a few tasks so far. Here's what I know so far.

1. Matrox RTX 100 users will have to wait till later this month for the upgrade of Matrox tools befor the card will function, but the fire wire interface on the card still works OK.

Device control in the capture utility works much better than previous versions for DV Decks - the Sony camera interface worked fine in 1.5, but the 2.0 interface is glitch free so far on all of my cameras plus the oft times troubling JVC BU3000 deck.

The Multi display feature for the time lines in Premiere is sweet. Speeds up cuts and sync fades etc. That alone was worth the upgrade in my book.

I run a The monitor set-up, 2 X 21" flat panels side by side and a 16X9 TV/PC display as an output monitor. The frame sizing and positioning functions make it much more user friendly to set-up my workspace for the two main tasks (capturing and scene binning, and project editing).

The encore upgrade looks and feels like all of the other apps and works more smoothly than before. I haven't tried the timeline editing features but I'm really happy to have them available now. When importing assets you can import VOB files from an existing DVD (Hint copy it to your hard drive first), BUT ** don't expect the files to show up in the import browse window. Type *.* in the file line and they will show up, just selecting "all files" doesn't work.

More to follow as I get into the After Effects and Audition apps.

This weekend I hope to try out the export to DVD with menu direct from Premiere. It worked OK in 1.5 without the menu but this is a nice adder.

Last word - just make sure you have lots of HD space. All the extra goodies (content) that comes with this release take up about 25 gig. You don't have to load them, but the can add to your projects if your do.
