Comments about Adobe Adobe Production Premium 4.0 CS4, Video & Audio Software Suite for Windows, Upgrade from Creative Suite 3:

This is the ultimate suite of production tools for the moderate to advanced amateur and professional video/media producer. Due to the feature density, beginners to Adobe and/or video production should expect quite a learning curve. For you, I highly recommend the Adobe "Classroom in a Book" series to provide the most efficient and comprehensive familiarization.

The design of the suite allows for a smoother, faster and more efficient work flow from on site filming to DVD authoring. Most notable: The dynamic linking of the creative components like after effects, photoshop, encore, etc allow for much faster production time.

I have experienced some quirks related to working with files stored on a networked server but nothing insurmountable.

The tools available in the suite provide for an unmatched creative flexibility.
