today, so you can produce high-quality output for film, video, multimedia, and the Web.
New 16-bit-per-channel color support (Production Bundle only) ensures the finest
quality for film and HDTV, while support for Macromedia Flash (SWF) export means that
your work can play on the hottest Web sites.
Macromedia Flash (SWF) output

QuickTime footage are handled; generate an HTML report with process details.

embedded URL with a layer marker.
