Testimonials: "Adobe hit a home run with the integration among the products in Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium. We can move smoothly among Adobe Illustrator CS4, Photoshop CS4 Extended, After Effects CS4, Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Soundbooth CS4, and Encore CS4 without a lot of file translation and switching from application to application. Our day-to-day workflow just keeps getting better and easier."
— Ray Tragesser, vice president and CTO, Euphoria

"What excites me most about Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Soundbooth CS4 software in Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium is the speech-to-text function, Speech Search. I made a documentary with more than 400 hours of footage, and I cannot tell you how difficult it was to transcribe the entire thing. With Speech Search, I would have been able to transform dialogue into text-based metadata to make my video searchable. For a filmmaker, Speech Search is the ultimate tool. What a breakthrough!"
— Juan Carlos Pineiro Escoriaza, director, Pure West Films

"With Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, Dynamic Link just got better. It now works with Adobe Premiere Pro, Soundbooth, After Effects, and Encore, automatically making updates when working among all of the individual programs. Dynamic Link is incredibly useful when I'm applying effects across multiple clips or handling color correction across multiple files. In terms of eliminating time-consuming intermediate rendering and enabling roundtrip editing, Dynamic Link is huge!"
— Isaac Anderson, owner, Vision FilmWorks

"The integration among the products in Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium is impressive. With Dynamic Link extending from Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to After Effects CS4 and Encore CS4, every component of our HD editorial flow is now far more empowered and efficient. By eliminating intermediate rendering when making edits within different programs, we save invaluable time on every project."
— Jacob Rosenberg, CTO, Bandito Brothers

"For cross-media projects that include video we often have to review hours of footage to find usable material before digitizing it down to a computer workstation. With Adobe OnLocation CS4 software, we can record directly to a hard drive in real time, saving hours of production time. We can then seamlessly and efficiently integrate the footage, including the Shot List and metadata, into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4."
— MJ Anderson, vice president of creative services, Trekk Cross-Media

"Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium delivers major upgrades for mobile development. With Adobe Device Central CS4, special consideration has been placed on video capture to better showcase mobile applications in their true form. The ability to create a high-quality video capture of our creations allows us to showcase our work to clients the way it should be viewed — via video instead of snapshots."
— David Brown, lead developer of emerging technology, AgencyNet

"Today's students are very much attuned to new promotional opportunities on the web, as well as the slew of web-based television networks that are emerging. With increasing integration among tools like Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, After Effects CS4, Flash CS4 Professional, and Encore CS4, students can more easily publish their content to the web, making it easier for them to produce, design, and output for web-based venues."
— Dominique Elliott, professor of broadcast design and motion graphics, Savannah College of Art and Design
