Adobe CS4 Launch
September 23, 2008 by 
Tomorrow marks the date that Adobe launches its awesome new version of its products Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Soundbooth, Flash, and Encore. Version CS4 will certainly exceed many users expectations. Being on the beta team and reviewing Premiere Pro for an upcoming Classroom in a Book series, I have to say the upgrade rivals my attention away from Final Cut Pro. In the coming weeks I will be doing video tutorials on the new features so stay tuned.
Equally as exciting are the upgrades to After Effects and Flash. Flash, in my opinion, is really become easier and easier to use. Being a Flash user since version 4, I can say those wanting to learn Flash the time has come. Again video tutorials to come. After Effects gets some great new tools and some great new tracking plug ins (wink wink). you will be most happy.

Adobe After Effects CS3 is tremendous softwate package. From greenscreen keying, to changing the sky from a shiny day to a winter storm, After Effects CS3 can do it all. I recently had the opportunity to brush up on my skills using Total Training’s new Adobe After Effects CS3 Essentials DVD. Hosted by After Effects wizard Ko Maruyama, the DVD is filled with over 9 hours of excellent training. Ko really takes his time explaining the new tools, workflows, and over all essentials you will need to become proficient in After Effects CS3.
