As a wrap-up to NAB 2010 I’ve put together a little list of NAB 2010’s winners and losers; a bit from the perspective of the South Hall which is post production. Until next year …
Winners
Adobe - everywhere you went people were talking about CS5. It was partly because this is a big 64-bit update but partly because Adobe has packed the release with some jaw-dropping features that make a demo. Premiere’s Mercury Playback Engine, (Read More)

Each year, the wonders of technology and some really great engineering keeps giving us computers that do more. Of course, many of the applications we run work just fine on older hardware. But I've been particularly interested in applications that can really take advantage of the latest trends in computer hardware. ( Read More)

Today, Adobe revealed Creative Suite 5 (CS5). Like many members of the press, I've been working with beta software for about three months, and I am very familiar with the additions to Premiere Pro, OnLocation, Media Encoder, and a couple of ancillary programs, which I'll detail here. For information about After Effects, Photoshop, or other programs in the suite, you'll have to look elsewhere. ( Read More)

Are you ready for 64 bits? Like the American westward expansion, it's about opening up new vistas and wide open spaces - but for video editing tools - which have become cramped and slowed by the demands of working with more applications, using higher resolutions, and applying a ton more layers and streams.

Premiere Pro CS5 looks a lot like CS4, but there's a behemoth lurking under the hood: the Adobe Mercury Engine, making child's play out of previewing, scrubbing and rendering huge video files.
That new tiger in Premiere Pro's tank, the native 64-bit GPU accelerator otherwise known as the Mercury Playback Engine, changes everything for those of us who must wait around for rendering and playback of HD files. What once brought mighty machines to their knees now plays back like DV footage. It' (Read More)

Without the least bit of exaggeration, many people have said that this is the perfect storm of change and with this change there's an opportunity to thrive from it. That's where Adobe's been focusing - how to make our customers succeed in this storm of change.

Adobe has succesfully generated a hype leading up to the launch of Creative Suite 5. Through various sites fragments were’leaked’. This created the so called buzz that was picked up and redistributed by the social networks.
Exciting and fun for marketing research, but what is do we at Animotion think of CS5? Is it worth to upgrade? And if so, when? At several locations, the new options for After Effects and Premiere Pro get coverage. We’ve tried put pros and cons of upgrading in perspective: ( Read More)

If I were to take a long-term view of the successive Creative Suite (CS) releases from San Jose, Calif.-based Adobe Systems, I would equate them to a product created a bit further north in Napa Valley.

The Final Cut Pro User’s Group ninth annual Las Vegas summut is tonight at the Rio Hotel and Casio. Great. But where’s the Rio? It’s way off the LV Strip, which is a drag. There are free shuttle buses from Caesar’s Palace and a few other strip hotels but nothing from the NAB Show at the Convention Center, which is where I am. ( Read More)
