This unified design environment translates into improved efficiency and increased productivity.

A Suite of Advanced Post-Production Applications
Production Studio Premium features several industry-leading post-production applications to build advanced video and web effects.

Enjoy greater precision and control when preparing images for use in film, video, and DVD productions with Adobe Photoshop CS2. For instance, you can take advantage of new features such as 32-bit High Dynamic Range (HDR) color support and Vanishing Point, which enables you to edit in perspective.

Adobe Audition 2.0, the all-in-one toolset for professional audio production, delivers the flexibility and control you need to produce great soundtracks for any project. Another example of the many benefits of Adobe integration can be found with Encore DVD 2.0, which lets you create full-featured, menu-driven DVDs for feature films, business communications, training, events, and more. And with Adobe Illustrator CS2, you can create editable and scalable vector artwork for your film, video, and web productions in Adobe Illustrator CS2 software, now with advanced painting, drawing, and type tools.

You can use After Effects compositions in Adobe Premiere Pro and Encore DVD projects with no intermediate rendering. Edit a composition in After Effects and view your updates instantly in the other Production Studio components. Organize and browse content files, and then drag and drop them from Adobe Bridge into your film, video, audio, and DVD productions. Search, sort, and edit XMP metadata info and preview scalable thumbnails of video and images as well as audio files.

High Definition Support and Flash Integration
Production Studio Premium lets you work with HD at all popular resolutions and frame rates to achieve the highest standards in the industry. Production Studio supports HD, HDV, SD, and DV formats. You can also choose the right Macromedia Flash format to encode your video and audio files for optimal web viewing.

1.0 out of 5 stars 0 for licensing and tech support, February 8, 2006
By Kirill Mazin (Monterey, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Beware of Adobe's licensing. The studio comes with one serial number for all the included software, which means that you cannot use its individual components as standalone products. So if you want to install Photoshop and Illustrator on one desktop, and Premiere and After Effects on another, you are out of luck.

Also, Adobe's customer support is incredibly incompetent. I had to call Adobe three times over the course of three days before I was told that this was the case! They don't seem to know basic things about their product line, for example, that Production Studio is a Windows-only product. To make things worse, the first representative told me to delete all of the Adobe licensing files from my computer to solve the activation issue, and then use the `repair' option on a re-install, after which I was supposed to have been able to activate the software over the internet. There is no repair option on the re-install, deleting the licensing files didn't solve the activation issue, and instead forced me to re-install the entire Production Studio and the Creative Suite 2, which was also installed on the same computer! The second representative told me that he would transfer my case to the `tech support,' who would call me back on the same day, and who never did. On the third day, I was finally told that I simply cannot use individual components as standalone products. So whether you install only Photoshop, or the whole suite, from the activation point of view both count as one complete installation. I feel that Adobe needs to make this point very clear to their customers. Had I known this, I would have chosen a completely different way to upgrade my software.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great if you don't need DVD authoring, June 11, 2006
By Mr Personne (Hoboken, NJ) - See all my reviews
All the applications in the suite are fantastic with one exception: EncoreDVD. This piece of software is full of bugs and inexplicable system errors. I have never been able to complete one project. Every time, my project gets corrupted for no reason and then need to be rebuilt from scratch. If you don't believe me, please visit the Adobe User Forum and read through all the messages from users crying for help with program and system errors. If you plan on authoring DVDs, you will probably have to do like me: buy another application such as DVDit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Digital Swiss Army Knife for PC media, January 4, 2007
I have used Adobe products on PC for about 5 years now, and would highly recommend them to anyone that needs to do non-trivial work on illustrations, images and video.

First off, be aware that all the full-blown Adobe apps have a reasonable learning curve. This edition contains essential (and excellent) PC-based DVD learning tools that demonstrate how to start to use the powerful tools in this suite. After that, other books can be helpful, and the Internet, particularly Creative Cow, is essential to understand more advanced topics. Do not expect the simplicity found in the Elements series of Adobe, or its competitors. This is a suite of heavy-duty and still somewhat idiosyncratic, tools. But boy do they work when/if you give them your attention! There is nothing wrong with simplicity and if all you want is the equivalent of a point-and-shoot camera, by all means go that way instead. These tools are the equivalent of Digital SLRs instead. In addition, although the interfaces are getting more similar, they are not yet even intuitive cross-product, and they are all not based on standard Windows metaphors. You will be frustrated if you expect them to be.

As to the tools, I don't need to introduce PhotoShop CS, I expect - it is THE standard image editor (at least on PC). Fewer people outside graphic arts know about Illustrator CS - but it is a fine vector graphics tool - if little improved over its predecessors in this version. At this stage in its history, I would expect it will be folded into Photoshop soon. The line between vector and pixel image tooling is now more of historical artifact than something people should have to wrestle with IMHO. Yes vectors are great at preserving details, edges and handling scaling better than pixel-based editing, but why couldn't those aspects be incorporated into equivalent Photoshop tools? But currently if you have to do artwork that can be rendered at different sizes (logos, promotional material, etc) Illustrator is the way to go.

Premiere Pro CS is now an easier video editor to use than ever (still more complex and feature packed than entry-level editors however). It has superior control of video cameras (but has only simplistic support for MPEG input, and none for most HD cams built in). It has wonderful new tooling, interface improvements and has some After Effects effects built-in so you don't have to export and import for common needs. Its DVD support is simple, but you will be using Encore for that from this package. The audio editing capabilities are much improved within the tool.

After Effects CS is the Production version (must have) with 3D effects and other important features that you need to make killer adverts, intros, animations and so on. The real power with this product is the use of Javascript to control the effects, allowing for very sophisticated, natural-looking results. But it takes time to learn!

Audition is a very useful, non-destructive, multi-track, audio editor. You can build compositions with its loops (or ones you can buy) or do complex editing (although I would still recommend Sony SoundForge for real heavy-duty work on sound other than looping).

Encore is now on its second version and is getting very slick. DVD production is an artform due to the non-open way the menus and flow are coded and the need to cram all that data into that small space. Encore is feature-rich enough to allow for more sophisticated DVDs than I have been able to get done elsewhere, flexible enough to allow for external encoding of material, including menu creation in Photoshop, but safe enough to ensure that the DVD isn't likely to be a dud (unless your media or burner has problems). Building DVDs from MPEG source material remains a chore with Premiere and Encore (you basically have to expand the MPEG to AVI during editing one way or another and then re-encode it) but by leaving the encoding late in the cycle (inside Encore) you can at least ensure that chapter points are exactly where they should be. The encoding support in the Encore product is superior quality in my experience as well including Dolby encoding for sound. Basically it works well enough, but as HDD cams and DVD cams increase market share, Adobe needs to upgrade to encompass real MPEG editing with fast-pathed encoding. You can buy a very expensive add-on from a third party to do this - but there is no excuse now for this not being in the Premiere/Encore products.

Finally the package is held together with Bridge - which to me is the weakest part of the package. Bridge doesn't quite seem able to be as good at organizing media as Photo Album was, and doesn't seem as seamless a way of moving between apps in a creative workflow as I would have expected. This may be because I just haven't understood it yet, but I am not convinced that this feature doesn't need a rethink.

You also get a full set of hard manuals which is nice, but I find I rarely use.

Please be aware that the Suite is licensed by using a single license based on the Photoshop CS scheme - so all these tools are to be installed on one computer at a time. Also, once Adobe bought Macromedia they now have a big non-profit and educational discount, so please check that out if you are eligible.

Adobe Production Studio Premium (Upgrade from Premiere Pro, Photoshop, or After Effects Pro)

If you are upgrading from Photoshop, you need Photoshop CS or better.   Both the product description and Adobe's website are vague about this.  I had to make several phone calls to Abobe to get the right answer.   The sales rep. at Adobe wasn't sureat ...
