After delaying the scheduled release of upgrades to its most popular
pro software by an additional five months, Adobe has just released a
powerful new Production Bundle that includes new versions of Premiere
Pro, After Effects, Encore and Audition. When you buy the packages
together in the Production Bundle, you get the powerful Dynamic Link
function that lets you move files back and forth from each program with
no need to render in between. Premiere Pro adds quad-view multicam
editing, 32-bit internal color processing, native HDV support and
support for AJA’s Xena card. And get this: Video can now be imported
directly from tape into After Effects. $1,699 (Premium Edition); $1,199
(Standard); $649 (upgrade from Adobe Video Collection Professional to
Premium Edition); $499 (upgrade from Adobe Video Collection Standard to
Standard Edition). www.adobe.com
