Adobe Creative Suite CS5 Production Premium Macintosh DVD Educational Software

Features

Adobe® Creative Suite® 5 Production Premium software ups the ante with industry-leading, breakthrough performance. Accelerate video editing and production with 64-bit optimizations and expanded tapeless support, and rotoscope in a fraction of the time. Packed with hundreds of new features, CS5 Production Premium supercharges your productivity.

Breakthrough native 64-bit performance

Work fluidly at HD and higher resolutions using all the available RAM in your system with native 64-bit support in Adobe Premiere® Pro CS5, After Effects® CS5, and Photoshop® CS5 Extended. Run multiple suite components efficiently thanks to new shared memory settings. Eliminate intermediate rendering when moving assets between After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe Encore®, and experience faster performance between these components.

Script-to-screen workflow through integration with Adobe Story

Speed up production and post-production by leveraging integration with Adobe Story, a new Adobe CS Live online service that allows you to collaborate on scriptwriting, create shot lists from your scripts in Adobe OnLocation™, and then develop a preliminary rough cut in Adobe Premiere Pro. CS Live online services are complimentary for a limited time — visit www.adobe.com/go/cslive for details.

Eye-popping 3D and naturalistic painting in Adobe Photoshop Extended

Create eye-popping 3D logos and artwork by extruding any text layer, Smart Object, selection, or layer mask. Paint more naturally with expressive new painting tools, and cleanly remove unwanted objects with Content-Aware Fill.

Adobe Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere Pro

Work dramatically faster thanks to the revolutionary native 64-bit, GPU-accelerated Mercury Playback Engine, which provides rock-solid performance and stability, even at 4K resolution and beyond. Open projects rapidly, and create multilayer, effects-rich sequences without rendering.

Roto Brush in Adobe After Effects

Isolate moving foreground elements from their backgrounds in a fraction of the time using the Roto Brush. Efficiently find the edges of complex foreground elements and fine-tune selection edges with extremely precise results.

Roundtrip editing with other NLEs

Integrate CS5 Production Premium with your workflow, no matter which NLE you prefer. Move projects easily back and forth between Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro or Avid editing software.

Intuitive perspective drawing in Adobe Illustrator®

Represent depth and distance accurately on the flat surface of your Illustrator canvas. Generate perspective grids for 1-, 2- or 3-point linear perspectives automatically, with controls for horizon lines and vanishing points.
