Supplement your mobile and desktop applications with native code libraries to add platform-specific functionality or boost CPU-intensive tasks. This session will show you how easy it is to drop an Air Native Extension (ANE) into Adobe Flash Builder, code your project, and package it for distribution.

In this episode of Short and Suite, Karl Soule talks about how the new HP Workstations powered by Intel Xeon processors make great hardware solutions for running Adobe Production Premium.

Join Colin Smith as he talks about how the new HP workstations powered by Intel Xeon processors can super charge Adobe Audition.

In the world of video production, time is money. Karl Soule shows you all you need to know to get maximum performance from the applications in Adobe Production Premium CS5.5. Learn all the hardware-related factors that influence how the software behaves, and see how to properly balance a system with Intel Xeon processors, the right amount of RAM, and high-performance Intel solid state drives.

Colin’s back showing off how fantastic his Z800 workstation performs with the new Adobe 5.5 software. In this episode he shows you how to send a complete Premiere Pro sequence to a multitrack project in the new Adobe Audition 5.5. From there he shows how you can add effects to individual clips, or complete tracks with lots of built-in effects or support for VST and AU plug-ins. Once complete, this project can be send back to Premiere Pro CS5.5 or exported to OMF or Final Cut Pro XML.

This new effect gives you the ability to create the optical effect of a real camera lens blur. If you need to add depth to a scene, or obscure something in the frame, Camera Lens Blur will do that and make it look completely realistic. You also have complete control parameters like iris shape, blur maps, super whites, gain and threshold.

Are you looking for the Tasks that you’re used to in Soundbooth when you start using Adobe Audition 5.5? Colin will show you a step by step walkthrough between to the two applications, pointing out where the same operations are in Audition. He’ll also point out that Audition is much more powerful at all the tasks you’re used to using in Soundbooth, including Noise Reduction, Time Stretching, Automatic Click Remover, DeHummer, Looping and more. The fact that he’s demonstrating all this on his “wicked fast” HP Z800 workstation makes Audition all the more powerful.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 improves the speed with which you can render nested sequences. You can literally nest sequences into sequences and you’ll get the benefits of the Mercury Playback Engine using both the CPU and the GPU or Graphics Processing Unit on an Nvidia card with CUDA. Throw the HP Z800 workstation into the mix and you see rendering speeds like you have never seen before.

Colin takes advantage of the HP Z800’s massive horsepower combined with the raw speed of the 64-bit Adobe Media Encoder 5.5 to show you how you can output different versions of your comps using a combination of After Effects, Dynamic Link and Media Encoder, while working on new composites, without missing a beat.

Learn how an entry-level workstation built with the brand new Intel Xeon E3 processor can give you unprecedented editing performance in Premiere Pro CS5.5 at an unbeatable price.
