MillimeterAdobe CS4: The Next Tier, Part 1
Oct 10, 2008 12:00 PM, By Jan Ozer
You’ve undoubtedly heard about Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4), and you probably are already familiar with many of the top new features. In this month’s Affordable HD, I wanted to introduce you to the next tier of features, or those that didn’t get top billing, but should be considered in the upgrade decision and/or used as soon as you install CS4.
Since I use these applications the most and know them best, I’ll focus on Premiere Pro, Soundbooth, Encore, and the new Adobe Media Encoder. In the great tradition of radio programming, I’ll talk about the juiciest application last (that would be Premiere Pro), just to make sure you return for the next segment.
Note that I’m still working from the press beta that I received back in August, so there may be some small interface tweaks going forward. Also, I’ll withhold any judgment on actual performance until I get the final code.
As a final caveat, I recognize that there are many different editing styles and project types; the next tier features that I’ve selected will generally save me time or make me more creative, but they certainly won’t float everyone’s boat. Conversely, there are new features that I haven’t mentioned that some users will go absolutely nuts over. I apologize in advance if I omitted the features that you feel are most critical.
