Meet today’s deadlines and tomorrow’s challenges with breakthrough performance:

Adobe CS5 Production Premium software accelerates workflows from scriptwriting

through post-production, delivers the best tapeless workflows available, and integrates

with new CS Live online services.

Stay in the creative flow with Adobe CS5 Production Premium as breakthrough performance, integration,

and collaborative flexibility sweep aside obstacles in your workflow. Finish your HD projects as quickly as

SD thanks to native 64-bit support in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop Extended and

the new Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere Pro. The industry’s best tapeless workflow is now

even better, with expanded support for new tapeless media including DSLR video formats, giving you

access to pristine-quality footage without transcoding or rewrapping. With innovative time-saving

features throughout components of Production Premium—from the revolutionary new Roto Brush in

After Effects to GPU acceleration in Photoshop Extended and Adobe Premiere Pro—you have the tools

you need to speed the entire post-production process.

Turn your project plans into efficient productions using an integrated script-to-screen workflow. Start by

developing your script in Adobe Story, a new Adobe CS Live online service* that lets you write scripts by

collaborating and creating metadata-rich, production-ready assets with new efficiency. Then in Adobe

OnLocation CS5, import your Adobe Story script and automatically transform it into shot lists and

relevant metadata. While you’re on set, use OnLocation to log, calibrate, monitor, and capture footage

directly to disk—you can now log from tapeless cameras. As you log, add metadata that increases

productivity at every stage in the production process.

New features in CS5 Production Premium let you express your creativity like never before. In Photoshop

Extended, create eye-popping assets using new 2D natural painting and 3D extrusion options. Compose

shapes, scenes, and text in accurate linear perspective with Adobe Illustrator CS5. In Adobe Encore,

author your DVD interface and then publish to traditional DVD, Blu-ray Disc, or interactive online web

DVD. For sharing videos online, take advantage of new Flash Catalyst for easily designing online video

portfolios without writing code, or use the industry-standard Flash Professional to add video content to

sophisticated interactive experiences.

With powerful enhancements to industry-leading tools for every stage of your workflow, Adobe CS5

Production Premium packs unbeatable speed and unprecedented creative freedom—everything you

need to craft great stories.

Every day, media and entertainment companies such as BBC, Hearst Television, and Turner Broadcasting depend on the Production Premium toolset to create a cross-location editing environment that is faster, more efficient, and compatible with more formats than legacy broadcastindustry workflows.

In Adobe Premiere Pro, the Mercury Playback Engine takes advantage of every part of a modern system. Whether you use a Mac or Windows, the Mercury Playback Engine brings native 64-bit, GPU-accelerated support and optimization for multiple-core CPUs. You’ll experience smooth responsiveness and instant feedback when in the past you might have expected to wait.

What is metadata? Video and audio assets are data— information about those assets is metadata. You can use metadata to manage assets, make production more efficient, streamline archiving and retrieval, and ultimately help make your content more engaging and discoverable. For example, video metadata can include technical settings such as frame rate and aperture, as well as when the footage was shot. Cameras with GPS support may record metadata about where footage was shot.

Roundtrip editing with Apple Final Cut Pro and Avid editing software Bring the powerful capabilities of Production Premium to workflows that involve other nonlinear editors (NLEs). Exchange project files among NLEs, creating an open workflow that preserves commonly used effects and transitions without intermediate rendering.

like shape, length, and stiffness. Experiment with a broader range of looks by adding Bristle Tips to a variety of Photoshop brush tools. With the Mixer Brush, a photo (left) is easily transformed into a stylized painting (right). Spend less time laboriously sampling specific areas when removing unwanted objects in an image. When you remove an element from an image, new Content Aware Fill can intelligently replace the removed area with textures or colors sampled from neighboring regions.

or costly in the past. For example, you can use the Roto Brush to color correct just one moving subject in your footage. To use the new Roto Brush, just draw simple paint strokes inside the foreground object (left and inset), and let After Effects find the rest of the foreground object. In the final result (right), After Effects continues to isolate the foreground subject accurately even as he moves in subsequent frames.

DVD and Blu-ray Disc chapter titles. When you deliver your Encore projects as web DVDs, the script metadata makes the web DVD content searchable. The Formatting toolbar provides familiar wordprocessor-like controls. In addition, Story supports keyboard commands for fast, efficient navigation. Color coded character dots help you quickly identify characters appearing in each scene. View the name of the character by placing the cursor over a character dot. Adobe Story automatically numbers each scene.

Countless small improvements that make a big difference Experience a smoother day-to-day workflow, thanks to user requests that sparked dozens of enhancements made throughout Production Premium. Here are just a few examples: • In After Effects, align layers to comps and start animating more quickly with the new autokeyframe mode.

Using the new Spring option for the Bones tool in Flash Professional, you can design more realisticlooking motion for jointed, flexible objects. The Spring option is an intuitive way to add personality and realism to inverse kinematics (IK). The Spring option for the Bones tool (left) adds realistic motion to inverse kinematics for jointed objects (above). The Code Snippets panel eases the Flash learning curve by letting you inject prebuilt code into projects.

Enhanced Adobe Media Encoder With the rapid growth of video on the Internet and on new platforms such as mobile devices, being able to efficiently deliver your content in a variety of formats is crucial. Adobe Media Encoder, a separate, native 64-bit component of Production Premium, saves you time by automating the process of creating multiple encoded versions of your source files and Adobe Premiere Pro sequences.

CS Live online services* CS Live online services support creative and production tasks among workgroups, whether colleagues are near or far. CS Live services are designed to support production and postproduction workflows, and help you: • Develop scripts and shot lists with Adobe Story, the new collaborative script development tool that treats script elements as metadata, to accelerate production and post-production.

Perspective drawing in Adobe Illustrator Draw shapes and scenes in accurate 1, 2, or 3-point linear perspectives with perspective grids in Adobe Illustrator CS5. With the Perspective Grid tool, you can turn on a grid that supports drawing directly on planes of true perspective. The new Perspective Selection tool allows objects to be moved, scaled, duplicated, and transformed dynamically in perspective. You can also move and duplicate objects from one plane to another.

Soundbooth Scores are professionally composed, multipart instrumental performances or a mix of instrumental and musical soundscapes, easily customizable for your productions. To fit a Soundbooth Score to a scene, all you do is change In and Out points; internal sections are automatically stretched and shortened seamlessly. With this release, Soundbooth now includes more than 10,000 sound effects and more than 130 customizable Soundbooth Scores—flexible music and ambience for any production.
