Adobe CS4 Design Premium preview

Central to Design Premium, InDesign CS4 has received a wedge of productivity enhancements, possibly to combat the threat of a revitalised QuarkXPress 8. The first is live Preflighting, using a new dockable Preflight panel that tracks your work and alerts you to any errors in the layout while you’re in the middle of the design process, rather than at the end.

Adobe CS4 Production Premium preview

The main tools in Adobe’s dedicated post-production suite show even greater integration than the rest of the Creative Suite. You can now use Dynamic Link when exporting After Effects compositions to Premiere Pro and Soundbooth, so any edits in After Effects are always reflected immediately in your Premiere Pro timeline. Dynamic Link between Adobe Premiere Pro and Encore also saves you time by eliminating the need to render clips before authoring. As well as being able to author standard DVDs and high-definition Blu-Ray Discs, Encore CS4 lets you render the same projects for the web as interactive SWF files.

Adobe CS4 Web Premium preview

Dreamweaver CS4 remains the dominant web design tool in the Creative Suite, after Adobe ended development of GoLive earlier this year. Like Photoshop and Illustrator, the interface has been revamped, with a tool to switch between workspaces. Preset workspaces include options for coders, application developers, dual-screen users, and designers, and you can switch back to pre-CS4 legacy mode. Spring-loaded panels are also a common feature of CS4. In Dreamweaver, these expand with a single click for quick access, and then collapse when no longer needed.

Adobe Creative Suite 4 Preview

Design Premium CS4 is the suite most Macworld readers will be waiting for, comprising new versions of InDesign, Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, Flash Professional, Dreamweaver, and Acrobat 9 Pro. Also included for the first time is Fireworks, perhaps a curious choice given its legacy as a web prototyping tool. Web Premium CS4 additionally offers Contribute and Soundbooth for audio. Production Premium CS4 also has Soundbooth but enables video, motion graphics and DVD/Blu-Ray authoring through Premiere Pro, OnLocation, After Effects and Encore. All the suites ship with updated versions of Bridge and Device Central as well as collaboration utilities.

After Effects 7 Professional Edition

For those who work in feature-film production, industrial video, or web animation, Adobe After Effects has long been the 300-pound gorilla of compositing and motion-graphics applications. While programs such as Apple Shake, Apple Motion, and Autodesk Combustion have presented excellent alternatives, no one has managed to unseat the program.

After Effects CS3 Professional Review  Editors Choice 

After Effects (AE) is the Simpsons of motion graphics software. There are plenty of South Park, Family Guy and even American Dad style contenders, but just like Matt Groening’s yellow family, AE keeps on going. The secret to both is simple: keep doing what you’re doing, and keep doing it very well.
