Adobe CS4 Launch Broadcast Play-by-Play

9/23/2008 Permalink 0 Comments share on linkedin
I just tuned into the CS4 Launch Broadcast at noon EST. I didn't sign up for the earlier show because, well, it was early. LOL. If you didn't see the webcast here's what you missed... the play by play

12:00 - Loads of eye candy in the intro and some rockin' music.

12:02 - Clapping.... Shortcut to Brilliant and Shantanu Narayen, President and CEO is on stage announcing the show. He says it's Adobe's biggest launch every. He discusses how media is blurring between web and interactive and people want rich content. Hey, isn't the internet almost full?

12:04 - Video: People are viewing video online and Flash is more adequate than a former Microsoft solution. Customers/consumers want it for PC, mobile device, etc.

12:11 - Johnny Loiacono comes out to talk about CS4. Plays clip of talking to customers on the street. I wish someone would hand me a box of CS4! Turns out they're empty boxes. This feels like an infomercial. Show me some goods!

12:16 - They're still doing the 3 areas: Video production, interactive and print. They've worked on integrating all 13 products, 14 technologies (Bridge, Encore, Soundbooth, etc.) which are only available in suites. Seven services - hosted services like Kuler, Acrobat Connect. There will be 6 suites in 19 languages total.

12:19 - CS4 Summary... the areas that they've focused on in this release: Time savers, Integration, Innovation

12:22 - Video Production review of CS4 with Ben Grossman, Creative Director at The Syndicate, who worked on a Radiohead video and with Martin Scorsese. He likes Adobe.

12:26 - Hey, a new feature! Speech to text in Premiere Pro. I saw this at IBC and it's pretty dang sweet. I could've used this feature on a one hour training video I just edited. Fantastic time saver.

12:27 - Talking about Dynamic Link in PPRO and searchability in AE. They briefly talk about 3D in Photoshop, Mocha in AE, but don't show them. Awww...

Well, I mainly wanted to update you on the video. Glad they did it first! What are your thoughts on the new CS4 suite? Please leave comments or discuss it in our forum.
