October 2007

"Adobe Creative Suite and Advanced Video Support"

This month's meeting was held at International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa.
As usual we had a great turnout. The food was excellent and the networking powerful. Barry Bienstock, our president, started the meeting.
Industry veteran and Adobe expert Rod Harlan as he presents an extended program on the new Adobe CS3 Production Premium bundle. Rod highlighted key tools and discussed various workflow techniques in several of the applications that related to video.
Rod covered one of the new features in Adobe's Encore program. Encore can convert a finished DVD project complete with menus to SWF (FLASH) for web playback, including menus and interactivity.

He then dove deep into Photoshop CS3 Extended and showed many examples such as the ability to bring in full motion video and create fast and simple animations in Photoshop. Another great feature was the ability to bring in sequencial pictures and create a video from them.

Rod showed us many ways to bring in several layers of stock footage and in moments create an original video.

We kept Rod busy with lots of questions after the program was over.
