Use widely accepted nonlinear editing (NLE) shortcuts and easily sync separately recorded field audio with your video, thanks to new dual-system sound support.

Warp Stabilizer provides a great deal of control over the automated result without creating any keyframes in the timeline.

Once applied, Warp Stabilizer parameters are set as an effect.

Smoother camera moves with Warp Stabilizer

The new Warp Stabilizer in Adobe After Effects CS5.5 provides a solution to handheld camera shake that typically requires hardware such as a Steadicam. With increasingly diverse video recording devices—from mobile phones to sports helmet cameras and digital SLRs—it isn’t always practical or affordable to use a professional camera stabilizer. While image stabilization tools can be found in other video production software, they typically correct camera position only, betraying the fact that the footage was originally handheld.

Going beyond stabilizing just camera position, Warp Stabilizer uses advanced pixel analysis to also correct camera rotation, rolling shutter artifacts, and parallax effects. The resulting footage can appear as steady and smooth as if shot with a camera mounted on a mechanical stabilizer.

Warp Stabilizer is full of refinements that give you granular control of the process—all without keyframes. For example, the Subspace Warp option deforms areas of the frame separately to compensate for parallax shift. You can raise or lower the default amount of smoothness, which changes scaling and cropping behaviors. You can also control how frame edges are resolved by setting a threshold for automatically cropping the frame or by intelligently filling empty spaces using information in adjacent frames.

The ability to adjust all these variables makes Warp Stabilizer a powerful tool for getting exactly the stability correction you need, from within After Effects CS5.5.

CUDA Acceleration

The Adobe Mercury Playback

Engine works hand in hand with

NVIDIA® CUDA technology, which leverages the parallel compute engine in NVIDIA GPUs to solve many complex computational problems in a fraction of the time it would take a CPU to perform the same task. For a current list of supported video cards, visit

www.adobe.com/go/64bitsupport.

Performance boost with the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine

Work faster, thanks to enhancements in the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere

Pro CS5.5. Edit video using newly certified laptop GPUs, get real-time playback of mixed-format timelines, and use more GPU-accelerated effects.

New laptop certification. The Adobe Mercury Playback Engine now supports additional NVIDIA graphics cards—including cards for laptops—so you can enjoy high-performance, real-time editing on set and on location.

Smooth playback of mixed formats. With GPU-accelerated effects you can compensate for differences in frame rate, field order, and pixel aspect ratio, as well as media with varying types of alpha channels.

Fast filtering and effects. GPU-accelerated effects and transitions include faster Additive Dissolve, where you can combine color information between clips without edge and halo artifacts. You can see Fast Blur and Directional Blur effects in real time and eliminate unwanted interlacing artifacts with control over field order, flicker removal, and more.

Rich, interactive reading experiences

Design and publish highly engaging digital documents online and on mobile devices. Create stylish, rich, innovative content—with a new level of interactivity—that can be authored from within

Adobe InDesign CS5.5, and experienced on leading tablet devices and smartphones.

You can now publish complex, colorful books with beautiful typography, images that look perfect at any size, and links that enhance reading and learning. Incorporate a soundtrack in a children’s book, videos in a travel guide, or contemporary news footage in a history book.

• Deliver eBooks with images that resize automatically to look sharp on any screen. Set conversion options for the entire document or individual images when you export to EPUB format. You can also rasterize shapes, text frames, placed graphics, and groups created in InDesign so that they export as dynamically resizing images.

• Have confidence that text styles you define in InDesign are correctly exported. Now you can map paragraph and character styles directly to HTML, EPUB, and PDF tags for the appropriate specifications. You can even add CSS class names and enter your own tags.

• Use the new Articles panel to provide a coherent reading experience when you export a complex book layout that includes a variety of elements such as images, captions, sidebars, and block quotes. Drag components into the Articles panel to define the order in which they’ll export— without rearranging your InDesign layout.

• Transform the eBook reading experience with sound and motion. InDesign CS5.5 supports video and audio tags for evolving standards such as HTML5 and EPUB 3. You can embed video and audio to play on virtually any mobile device, including the Apple iPad.

Next-generation interactive documents

A full roundtrip workflow allows designers and developers to work collaboratively throughout an entire project.

Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 Premium

Master Collection now includes the Premium edition of Adobe Flash Builder so you can build expressive mobile, web, and desktop applications with the best tools Adobe has to offer. Build standalone applications targeted at multiple platforms using the new mobile support for

ActionScript and Flex® projects. Leverage mobile-ready components optimized for performance and touch input. Profilers, network monitoring, automated testing, and more can help you develop rich interactive content even more rapidly and creatively than before.

Designer-developer workflow with Flash Catalyst CS5.5 and Flash Builder 4.5 Premium

Not only does Master Collection include Flash Builder 4.5 Premium, but a new workflow with Flash

Catalyst CS5.5 introduces easy collaboration between designer and developer. Flash Catalyst CS5 and Flash Builder 4 enabled a workflow that allowed designers to provide native Flex Project (FXP) files to developers, who could then open and continue to work with those files. Now, Flash Catalyst

CS5.5 and Flash Builder 4.5 expand on this concept and deliver a powerful new workflow that lets designers work in parallel with developers on the same project.

For example, if you’re a designer, you can begin by creating a wireframe in Flash Catalyst CS5.5.

Add interactions, transitions, and constraints, and then hand the file off to a developer. In Flash

Builder 4.5, the developer can add logic and create connections to data sources, and then return the file to you. You can then open the file in Flash Catalyst CS5.5 to add final artwork and skin the application, returning it to the developer for deployment if you wish.
