Today also sees Adobe debut an affordable and flexible subscription-based pricing plan, attractive to customers that want to get current and stay current on Creative Suite products, have project-based needs, or try the software for the first time.

New to Creative Suite 5.5 is Adobe Audition® CS5.5, bringing its audio-for-video multitrack editing environment to both Mac OS and Windows® for the first time. New versions receiving major updates include Adobe Premiere® Pro CS5.5, Adobe After Effects® CS5.5, Adobe Flash® Professional CS5.5, Adobe Flash Catalyst® CS5.5, Adobe Story, Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, and Adobe Device Central CS5.5. Breakthrough performance, workflow improvements, creative innovations, and powerful new audio editing capabilities build upon the huge customer momentum Production Premium is experiencing with broadcasters, filmmakers and video professionals worldwide. Press ReleaseĪdobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe® Creative Suite® 5.5 Production Premium, the complete software solution for video and post-production that helps deliver content to virtually any screen. Since on this site we're mainly interested in the video production features, below is the Production Premium press release - see here for the general CS5.5 PR. If you're interested in After Effects CS5.5 and its new Warp Stabilizer feature check out this great post (with plenty of video demos) at ProVideo Coalition.


Here's a summary of what's new in Premiere Pro CS5.5. Either way, an interesting new payment model for Adobe. Note that these prices are based on yearly payment options - if you want to pay month-to-month, they run slightly more. If you don't want to or can't afford to plunk down the $2,599 that the Master Collection retails for, Adobe's new monthly pricing modelstarts at $35/month for Photoshop, $95/month for Production Premium, and $129/month for the full Master Collection. Adobe today announced Creative Suite 5.5, a mid-cycle upgrade to CS5 that introduces significant new features to the video programs, adds mobile-based publishing and program extensions, and offers a new subscription payment model that eliminates the sticker shock of purchasing the full suite.ĬS5.5 also adds Adobe Audition (a more fully-functional audio editing application than the presently-bundled Soundbooth), and considering Adobe's chilly relationship with Apple, the suite has an interesting focus on using the iPad to extend Photoshop (no word yet on whether such functionality will be available for the video apps).
