Production Studio is designed for film, video and Web
professionals and includes After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro,
Encore DVD and the new audio tool, Soundbooth.
The software made its public debut at the Macworld 2007
Conference and Exhibition in San Francisco, and Adobe reps say Production
Studio is expected to ship in mid-2007, though pricing has not yet been
announced.
The new Soundbooth application is designed to enable
creative professionals in any discipline to produce high-quality audio tracks.
The tool lets users record, edit, and customize audio and music for Web and
video production, and replaces the Audition application in the Production
Studio package. Adobe Audition will continue to be developed for audio
professionals as a standalone product for Windows.
Production Studio applications take advantage of time-saving
workflow enhancements offered by Adobe Dynamic Link. Dynamic Link eliminates
the need for rendering when moving motion graphics and visual effects from
After Effects to the realtime HD, SD and DV editing environment of Premiere Pro
and Encore DVD.
Production Studio as well as Premiere Pro, Encore DVD, and
Soundbooth will be available for Intel-based Macs. The next releases of After
Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator will be offered as Universal Binaries for
the Mac. Production Studio and all its components will continue to be available
for the Windows platform.
