Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium What’s New
Still using Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium or earlier?
If you’re considering upgrading to CS5.5 Production Premium, remember that you’ll benefit from
all of the new features described in this paper, as well as all of the features introduced in CS5
Production Premium. They include:
• Breakthrough performance. Work uidly on HD and higher resolution projects with native 64-bit
support in Adobe Aer Eects, Photoshop CS5 Extended, and Adobe Premiere Pro. e Adobe
Mercury Playback Engine speeds up eects processing and rendering in Adobe Premiere Pro.
• e industry’s best le-based workow. Expanded native support for le-based media formats
from AVCHD, XDCAM, AVC-Intra, and RED to the latest DSLR video formats makes the industry’s
best le-based workow even beer. Edit native le-based footage immediately aer transfer-
ring it from the camera, avoiding transcoding or rewrapping of footage. You save valuable time
and preserve the pristine quality of the original capture along with camera metadata.
• Eye-popping 3D and natural painting. In Photoshop Extended, easily extrude 3D assets from 2D
layers, create expressive digital paintings, and quickly remove unwanted objects from complex
backgrounds, thanks to 3D and enhanced painting capabilities and Content Aware Fill.
• Roto Brush for fast isolation of moving foreground elements. Quickly and automatically
separate a foreground object, such as an actor, from its current background so that it can be
placed in a completely dierent environment. Simply brush paint strokes inside the foreground
object and let Aer Eects determine where the subject starts and ends in each frame.
• Cuing-edge storytelling with Adobe Story.*
†
Adobe Story, a CS Live online service, is a
collaborative scriptwriting and outline tool that helps accelerate the process of turning your
video projects into nished media. Cra your narratives from virtually anywhere in a safe oine
or online writing environment. Collaboratively co-write and edit with your colleagues.
• CS Live online services.*
†
In addition to Adobe Story, take advantage of integration with more
services that support creative and production tasks among workgroups, whether colleagues are
near or far. CS Live online services are designed to support production and post-production
workows; for example, you can gather feedback with CS Review and share project information
with Acrobat.com.
• Easy online portfolios with Flash Catalyst. Create online video portfolios and other types of
expressive interactive content without writing code. ere’s no need to learn scripting—simply
design your vision using Illustrator or Photoshop Extended, and then bring layered media from
those components into Flash Catalyst to add interactions using its approachable user interface.
It’s easy to add video, sound eects, and dynamic media too.
• Richer, more compatible interactive content in Flash Professional. An advanced text engine
added in CS5 Production Premium provides much richer typography, including threaded text
blocks, columns, precise creative control, and compatibility with text from other components
such as Adobe Illustrator. Using the Spring option for the Bones tool in Flash Professional, you
can design more realistic-looking inverse kinematics (IK) motion for jointed, exible objects.
• Perspective drawing in Adobe Illustrator. Draw shapes and scenes in accurate 1, 2, or 3-point
linear perspective with perspective grids in Adobe Illustrator CS5. e Perspective Selection tool
lets you move, scale, duplicate, and transform objects and live text dynamically in perspective.
• Countless small improvements that make a big dierence. Experience a smoother day-to-day
workow, thanks to user requests that sparked dozens of enhancements made throughout
Production Premium.
