• Get a great bundle of programs
  If you dream of making your own movies, this is the package for you. Replacing Adobe Production Studio, the new CS4 Production Premium includes enhanced tools for video production. Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash, which have long been popular graphics programs, are paired here with post-production tools like After Effects, Encore, Soundbooth, and Premiere that can make your videos practically jump out of the screen.
   
• Produce professional-looking content
  The tools included in this bundle comprise a full-featured solution for video production. After Effects helps you create stunning visual effects, Soundbooth edits an audio track much like Photoshop Extended edits an image, and Premiere Pro offers video editing tools. Once it's all complete, you can output it to DVD or the web with Encore.
   
• Integrate with other Adobe Products
  Adobe suites offer tight integration between programs. That means you can create compositions in After Effects and incorporate them right into Premiere or Encore without wasting valuable time rendering. Flash content can be viewed with the widely-installed free Flash Player, and the integrated software can be used to generate mobile content, aided by Adobe Device Central.
