Interesting post that caught my attention, not because of Adobe Premiere but because it talks about the perceptions of finishing on high end systems like Flame and Smoke. It can be said producers and creatives believe the more expensive a room and operator the better it/he/she must be at “finishing”.  

ProLost: What Should Adobe Do With Premiere Pro?.

Great resource for FREE video tutorials using the Adobe CS3 apps.  Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Encore, etc.  Definitely worth a look.

Steve Martin, no not the actor, but Steve Martin of Ripple Training provides some great tips for using Adobe CS3 and Production Premium with FCP.   This is definitely woth a look for some Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects tips as well as Encore, the Adobe DVD authoring program.  It has the ability to do something I was just thinking would be so cool if we could do it… instead of burning DVDs, what if we could deliver a digital file that played just like a DVD with menu, chapters and the such?  Well with Encore you can courtesy of Flash.  Yeah, I know, we don’t have CS3 or Production Premium.  Well actually JoJoe does.  We can only hope for the future.  Want this now!
