I will be presenting this with Mason Dixon, of the Chicago Motion Graphics Festival. He's been to Adobe this week for a major Production Studio cram session.

I'm also currently updating our store and I'll post links to the new items as soon as they're ready.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHICAGO, IL, The Chicago Motion Graphics Festival will host the Chicago premier of the Adobe® Production Studio release including the long anticipated After Effects 7. The event will take place at the festivals opening night screening at Bridges Media Group from 6 to 8pm.

Adobe today unveiled Adobe Production Studio which combines full new versions of Adobe's world class video applications - Adobe After Effects 7.0, Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, Adobe Audition 2.0, Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 and the latest versions of Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Illustrator CS2, with the innovative and timesaving new Dynamic Link feature that eliminates the need for intermediate rendering of After Effects compositions used in Premiere Pro and Adobe Encore DVD. It's a fully-integrated post-production software environment that gives film, video and web professionals the creative control to deliver their best work.

We invite you today to be amongst the first to see this impressive product line-up. One attendee will win a copy of Adobe Production Studio valued at $1699.

The Chicago Motion Graphics Festival consists two days of free tutorials and presentations at the Apple Store, three nights of festival screenings at top downtown post-houses, and Master's Class at School of the Art Institute Chicago.
