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

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 Adobe evangelist Jason Levine to find out how you can to edit faster with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 software, which offers cross-platform, native file–based workflows as well as GPU-accelerated filters and effects with the enhanced Adobe Mercury Playback Engine—now on workstations and laptops. Work easily with dual-system sound support; enjoy enhanced project exchange with Apple Final Cut Pro and Avid software, as well as direct integration with Adobe Story; and efficiently export with reliable batch background encoding for delivery to smartphones, tablets, and PCs.

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.

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.

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.

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 the Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 takes performance to the next level, so that you get even faster playback of mixed-format timelines and more GPU-accelerated effects and transitions.

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.

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.

What are Solid State Drives and how do they impact your workflow? Karl Soule shows you how to get maximum productivity in your video editing and motion graphics workflow by using this exciting new technology.

After Effects CS5.5 features some great new features such as Warp Stabilizer and Camera Lens Blur. Learn how a professional-class workstation with Intel Xeon processors can give you blazingly fast previews and rendering to let you get your work done faster than ever before.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 and it's faster-than-ever Mercury Playback Engine, provides unprecedented productivity. Learn how a professional-grade workstation with Intel Xeon processors, combined with CS5.5, enables you to work faster and be more creative than ever.

Whether you're helping corporate clients communicate through images, expressing your vision in fine art, or capturing life's moments at weddings, in portraits, or for news media, you're driven by the art of your craft. That's why professional photographers have long relied on Adobe Photoshop software for the ultimate in creative control and image quality. New Photoshop CS5 helps you achieve the visual and emotional effects you’re after with re-engineered features for reducing and adding grain, performing post-crop vignetting, and sharpening. CS5 reinvents HDR imaging with Exposure Merge, which makes it easy to preserve the full tonal range of a scene—or go from photorealistic to wildly surrealistic—and automatically remove ghost artifacts. It delivers new black-and-white conversion features and a GPU-enabled crop experience. It accelerates your workflow with powerful new selection technology, integrated Adobe Mini Bridge for faster file browsing, and cross-platform 64-bit support for faster performance.
