I work in the educational institute and my job involves designing of prospecus, annual report, convocation etc. other than that my job also involves video editing. please suggest what product should I buy and what would it cost me.

 

I would also like to know that, it it possbile buy the software for 5 years rahter than every year. I noticed that there is only one year plan. It is not easy to pay for software every year becuase it involves paper work and other procudures in the organization. It would be really nice if I get plan where I could buy the product for 5 years and pay accordingly

    Use InDesign for print layout.

     

    Use Illustrator for vector graphics and Photoshop for raster images.

     

    Use Acrobat Pro DC for converting documents to PDF.

     

    Video editing can be achieved with Premier Pro, Premier Rush and After Effects (motion graphics, animation).

     

    Creative Cloud is by annual subscription only.  I don't know of any way to pay 5 years ahead. Sorry.

    Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements are available for a one-time fee, but you only get updates to that particular version.

     

    Everything else is either month-to-month or year-to-year subscription, and as long as you pay the subscription you are more or less automatically upgraded to the latest and greatest release, even when the major version is upgraded.

     

    Adobe may allow the purchase of a multi-year subscription, but you'll have to talk to customer support for that. Given this is for your job, your employer may prefer getting a Teams plan as that allows them to add or remove licenses as necessary.

    You can purchase Photoshop Elements (image editor) and/or Premiere Elements (video editor) for a one time payment:

    This is true, but Photoshop Elements is hardly suitable for making prospectuses etc.
