As it states in the Wiki, it's assumed that Premiere and others will be involved in the next suite. Adobe's not about to throw out one of it's longest standing flagship titles. Hell, After Effects isn't on there either, and you know it'll be in CS4. And yes, I too am definitely psyched for the 64-bit moveover. It should've happened 2 generations ago.

The only advantage to use CS4 on Vista 64 is to use all your ram (4gigs and more). CS4 doesn't require you to be on Vista 64.

What I am more interrested in is the evolution of the dynamic link. With CS4, you can use dynamic link from AE to Premiere, and premiere to AE. It is definitely a big step to improve the integration of both software. No more export before the final one.

Another thing, more personal this time, it is the real integration of 3rd part editing card like my Matrox RT.X2. It should delete some bugs I have experienced with it.

For all the other features:

I'd be interested in it for the 64bit capabilities, but I won't let vista touch this machine and 64bit XP is a complete piece of trash that I had to work through for years.

They're starting to trickle out. I've got the retail version of Flash CS4. Haven't played around with it yet.

Meh, yet another totally underwhelming release of premiere pro. It's only 32-bit, and there's pretty much no new features that will be useful for amvs.

Extremely underwhelming release for After Effects as well, but it does have some interesting new features like ability to keyframe position x,y, and z values independently, and importing 3d models from photoshop.

Well, the "speech-to-text" thing in premiere could help quite a bit with fastening the clipping, theoretically. :o

But yeah, admittedly I think that the focus of adobe on the creative suit 4 was, more than new features on Premiere/Photoshop/After Effects, having a better integration between the programs, and that's why they really pushed a lot Flash. The new version is quite the thing. Besides, they improved the dynamic links between the various programs too, so it could kind of help. The xfl documents are prolly going to help the "communication" between the programs too, I think.

Didn't CS3 just come out. :shock:

Is this really necessary for such minor updates? Why can't adobe provide small upgrades to the programs and then work on making MAJOR revisions for the next series? Or is that somehow impossible or does it just maker too much sense?

Also someone tell me this... I've looked on the Adobe website and it says I can upgrade my AE 6.5 Standard to CS4 Pro but my disk says it's from the Adobe video collection. Can I still upgrade it or am I gonna have to shell out the $1000 for CS4 or even CS3? I've really loving that paneled interface from watching tutorials.

look like Photoshop, Premiere, and After Effects are getting GPU acceleration also (via nvidia's CUDA).

I wouldn't say the AE release is underwhelming. I think the "somewhat" native support of true 3D is going to be huge. Though it remains to be seen how it will perform in real world applications.

I also love the addition of transparency in gradients in Illustrator. It's something that's been possible in Flash for many years now. Glad to see Illustrator finally getting on board there.

But yeah I agree the Premiere upgrade does seem kind of meh. I'll be curious to see just how advantageous the improved Dynamic Link system is.
