I didn't see anything about Encore being updated. Woulda been nice. Guess we'll hafta wait for CS6 for that...

Can someone explain to me why this is a good deal?

My guess is, with the limited number of new features, maybe 10% of CS5 users will upgrade. Adobe would have made more money by charging $99. and getting 50% of users to upgrade. Plus, their customers would be much happier.

The only significant new feature (other than closed captioning support in PPro, which few will use) is the inclusion of Audition. Adobe should offer a significant discount to folks who already own the current version of Audition.

I can't help but agree with Eric.

We just got CS5 March 1, along with Soundbooth, and now we're not eligible for upgrade because we missed it by 10 days. Doesn't the 11th seem like an odd date? Why not the first?

Shoot... if it weren't for my bad luck, I wouldn't have any.

Guess I'll have to do more research before making a final decision.


I can't help but disagree. If you're a pro, there is a lot in this update that will appeal to you. The integration and capabilities of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, and Media Encoder definitely appear to have gotten a workover that continues to fire shots across the bow of the other "A" NLEs. If the features alone aren't enough to convince you, it should stand to reason that there has been work done in the realm of speed and stability; that should appeal to everyone.

If you're a more casual user of Premiere, perhaps the $400 price tag (for the bundle) seems steep; for a professional, that's a fee that will quickly be offset by the enhancements that appear to have made it into this release. As always, caveat emptor...

Jay: I suspect the March 11th date is due to it being one month prior to the announcement date, April 11th.

No more Soundbooth in Production Premium Suite? Replaced with Audition? Dynamic LInk between PPro & Audition? About time!

So what is actually different/new?

This page (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html) is really bad and does not clearly show what's new and different!

Adobe definitely need to improve their page layout, and actually let people know what is new/different in a clear concise way!

I do agree that a comparison matrix would be helpful, but you might find out more here: New since CS5

You can get all of the details at the Adobe.com store to find out about eligibility, costs, etc.  In your case, CS5 Production Premium to CS5.5 Production Premium has a US cost of $399.00.
