Native 64-bit operating system support--Work fluidly on HD and higher resolution projects using all the RAM on your system thanks to native 64-bit operating system support in Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe Photoshop Extended.

Breakthrough performance with the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine--Experience fast effects processing and rendering on both laptop and desktop computers with the native 64-bit, multicore, GPU-accelerated Adobe Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Broad format support in Adobe Premiere Pro--Maximize the efficiency of your file-based workflow and edit virtually any format including DV, HDV, RED, DPX, Sony XDCAM, XDCAM 50, XDCAM EX and XDCAM HD, Panasonic P2, DVCPRO HD, AVCHD, AVC-Intra, and footage from DSLR cameras.

Groundbreaking motion graphics with After Effects--Create motion graphics and visual effects with industry-standard After Effects. Combine moving and still imagery, graphics, and text in 2D or 3D space. Animate practically any aspect of each element, and add sound for virtually any result you can imagine.

After Effects displays a frame overlay to show that it's automatically analyzing the shot--the first step in stabilization.

Warp Stabilizer offers considerable control over the automated result without creating actual keyframes in the timeline. The Subspace Warp option, chosen by default, performs pixel analysis to correct for motion artifacts including parallax shifts. View larger.

Rich 2D and 3D images with Photoshop Extended--Magically remove objects with Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop CS5 Extended. Paint with lifelike brush strokes and use creative 3D tools. Roundtrip images and motion-based content to Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Adobe Encore.

Advanced audio-for-video editing in Adobe Audition--Record, edit, mix, master, and sweeten audio with Adobe Audition CS5.5--now available for both Mac and Windows. Roundtrip edit with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, or use OMF and XML to speed up project exchange with Avid Pro Tools and other NLEs.

Fast, more reliable encoding for multiple devices--Output your work for computers, smartphones, tablets, and television with Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5. Use intuitive presets and contextual menus to set up sequences once for multiple formats, and batch encode while you keep editing.

Timesaving integration--Save time on every project thanks to a familiar user interface; deep integration; roundtrip editing; and Dynamic Link, which eliminates intermediate rendering as you refine assets between After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Encore.

Compatibility with large-scale workflows--Work with multiple NLEs thanks to roundtrip editing between Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro or Avid NLEs. Leverage industry-standard formats such as AAF, EDL, OMF, and XML to integrate with a variety of systems.

To make it easier to output your work to virtually any video and device format, the new Adobe Media Encoder user interface includes three sections--the Queue pane, the Current Encode pane, and the Watch Folders pane. View larger.

Integrated metadata for faster post-production--Develop scripts or outlines with Adobe Story, an Adobe CS Live online service. Leverage metadata acquired in production to search assets and dialogue and edit faster. Create searchable web DVDs to make assets discoverable online.

Integration with CS Live online services--Collaborate with the Adobe Story, a powerful scriptwriting tool, a CS Live online service. Initiate reviews and collect feedback on dailies, storyboards, and works in progress with Adobe CS Review, a CS Live online service, and Acrobat.com.

Vector graphics with Illustrator--Import native Adobe Illustrator artwork into After Effects with layers, masks, blend modes, gradients, and effects intact. After Effects can continuously rasterize vector shapes for smooth edge detail at any size.

Interactive design--Create interactive designs with Adobe Flash Catalyst or Flash Professional. Use Flash Catalyst for content such as simple video portfolios, or use powerful controls in Flash Professional to add video content to interactive experiences.

Bokeh blur is the natural result when light highlights appear in the defocused area of an image, but many blur features don't account for this. The depth-of-field effects on the right bring focus to the face by making the foreground appear defocused. View larger.
