Adobe CS5 Debut Presenter Karl Soule

Adobe CS5 Production Premium ups the ante with industry-leading performance. With all-new releases of Adobe’s best-of-breed video, audio and design tools, Adobe CS5 Production Premium offers enhancements that help you work more efficiently when tackling a broad spectrum of planning, production, and post-production tasks. Work on HD and 2K projects with the same ease as SD, thanks to native 64-bit support in After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Photoshop Extended and the new Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Expanded tapeless and DSLR camera support means you always work natively with pristine quality footage, never waste time transcoding or rewrapping, and are free to mix and match formats on the timeline.

Rotoscope in After Effects in a fraction of the time, and get to rough cuts faster by using new Adobe Story scripts to create shot lists, and speed editing by automatically aligning scripts to spoken dialogue.

Work easily with other NLEs thanks to round-trip editing workflows with Final Cut Pro and Avid software. Packed with hundreds of new features, Adobe CS5 Production Premium supercharges your productivity and offers the power to deliver engaging video experiences to screens everywhere. 

AJA and Adobe CS5

AJA and Adobe have been working very closely together to bring you the most powerful combination of software and hardware solutions to market with the release of CS5.

Tery Williams, Field Engineer, AJA Video presents:
Join us to learn more about the Apple ProRes support in Adobe Premiere Pro and the simplicity of file based workflows enabled by AJA's Ki Pro for lens to post workflows, including layout to the Ki Pro enabled through the 2.0 firmware announced at NAB 2010.

See how AJA's Io Express is the perfect mobile companion to CS5 for those interested in uncompressed capture and flexibility of codec support within both Adobe After Effects, Premier Pro and Photoshop.

Learn more about how the AJA KONA 3 card in combination with Cineform and Premiere Pro will soon be bringing simplified discrete left eye / right eye support to CS5 users for 3D stereo productions.

Adobe CS5 and AJA, your solution for a wide range of client needs.

AND (Drum Roll)

AJA will provide a Ki Pro for one lucky winner, must be present to win, and bring a business card with your address and telephone, we will have blanks to fill out if you do not have a business card, one entry per person, drawing at the top of the Raffle.

Mitchell Rose

Comic filmmaker, and winner of 49 festival awards, Mitchell Rose returns with two new shorts: Advance, a dance-film made with BodyVox Dance Company (with whom he made the previously SFCutters-screened Modern Daydreams and Case Studies from the Groat Center for Sleep Disorders); and A World Without Numbers, a green screen/Motion project that he wrote when he was nine.
