It’s very exciting that the (INTEL NATIVE!) CS3 has been released. This is meant to highlight the major new features. Mainly, integration, integration, integration. I will be updating this as the presentation from Adobe goes on.
Photoshop Extended
Flash Video integrated.
Import Video frames to layers.
Stack Mode blends changes in pixels between frames of video.
Color Widget built using Apollo.
Dreamweaver
GUI AJAX Integration. Dreamweaver CS3 has GUI widgets that you can drag and drop onto your Web design. XML controlled data.
Check browser compatibility tool shows coding problems before they start. Dreamweaver checks for problems with every major Web browser.
CSS Advisor is a new, community run Web site within Adobe.com.
Illustrator
Illustrator integrates seamlessly with Flash and now includes some of the Flash-style editing tools.
Live Color.
Flash
File::Import:: — Dialog Box looks to the layers of Photoshop and Illustrator files and automatically creates movie clips and dynamic text boxes based on the layers you choose. VERY EASY .ILL and .PSD integration.
You can now save “styles” for your animations. This allows you to copy motion tweens as Action Script 3.0. Then-you can paste the Action Script somewhere else and duplicate the animations.
Video Production
INTEL NATIVE!!!!!!!!!
Now you can import SWFs into After Effects CS3! The animation is retained! It’s about time.
AMG! Now you can import Photoshop’s vanishing points and animate a 3D model of a still image in After Effects CS3.
Puppet Tool: Lets you take a still image and it lets you create organic character animations. AMG! You must see the demo of this. It is amazing.
Dynamic Link Feature: On the Mac, bring After Effects CS3 compositions and dynamically link them into Premere Pro CS3. Then, edit the original file back in After Effects with no need to render.
Time Remapping is premere pro feature that lets you add variable speed time changes on video content. This means, you can go from normal speed, to slow-mo, to high speed, all within the Premere Pro CS timeline.
AMG! Amazing. Amazing. Visual editor within Adobe Soundbooth lets you delete background sound out of audio files with a marquee tool.
Adobe Encore is available on the Mac, finally.
Author once, then you can output three different files. Standard Deff, Blu-Ray Hi Deff, or Flash.
The Flash output from Encore brings in interactive features such as menu screens and subtitles.
Adobe Media Encoder lets you output directly to mobile devices.
Device Central
Integrated into nearly every component of the Creative Suite.
Several hundred devices.
Emulates processor performance of devices.
