I don’t know if I should be upset, or flattered. I think that my cease and desist letters solve that mystery. Some of the sites I found show hundreds of downloads of our Mobile Ocean Screensaver—that’s a bit upsetting.

I am also amazed that there are 1,350 pages in google search for “mobile ocean punchkick.” This basically means that when people post illegal downloads, they don’t even pay attention to scrubbing out the company name! At they very least I expect them to have setup keyword driven links back to our site. Did they? Nope.

Adobe began shipping the much anticipated CS3 design and Web software bundles. Additionally, Adobe has added several software titles to Labs.

Amongst the new Beta software in Labs is:

• Adobe After Effects CS3 Pro
• Adobe Premiere CS3 Pro
• Adobe Soundbooth CS3 beta 3
• Flash Lite for BREW Publisher for Flash CS3 Professional prerelease
• knowhow (preview)

After Effects and Premiere have been long overdue. I am very excited to play with both titles. Soundbooth is great and new beta versions are always fun.

The Flash Lite for BREW Publisher is obviously needed. I am very happy that Adobe released this tool. The only thing they neglected to include was a Mac bundle (sigh). I am sure that there are other developers that will only use one licenced copy of Flash CS3 (in my case on my Mac), and will need to create Mod/Mif files from it.

I am also very happy to see the knowhow demo. It seems like a great panel to add to the CS3 suite.

knowhow is a technology preview that delivers single-click, contextual access to relevant help information from a panel in Adobe® Creative Suite® 3 software. knowhow gives users access to a wide variety of information—basic tool descriptions and short cuts, Adobe Help content, as well as community-generated tutorials, tips, and techniques on the web.

It’s very exciting that the (INTEL NATIVE!) CS3 has been released. This is meant to highlight the major new features. Mainly, integration, integration, integration. I will be updating this as the presentation from Adobe goes on.

Photoshop Extended

Flash Video integrated.

Import Video frames to layers.

Stack Mode blends changes in pixels between frames of video.

Color Widget built using Apollo.

Dreamweaver

GUI AJAX Integration. Dreamweaver CS3 has GUI widgets that you can drag and drop onto your Web design. XML controlled data.

Check browser compatibility tool shows coding problems before they start. Dreamweaver checks for problems with every major Web browser.

CSS Advisor is a new, community run Web site within Adobe.com.

Illustrator

Illustrator integrates seamlessly with Flash and now includes some of the Flash-style editing tools.

Live Color.

Flash

File::Import:: — Dialog Box looks to the layers of Photoshop and Illustrator files and automatically creates movie clips and dynamic text boxes based on the layers you choose. VERY EASY .ILL and .PSD integration.

You can now save “styles” for your animations. This allows you to copy motion tweens as Action Script 3.0. Then-you can paste the Action Script somewhere else and duplicate the animations.

Video Production

INTEL NATIVE!!!!!!!!!

Now you can import SWFs into After Effects CS3! The animation is retained! It’s about time.

AMG! Now you can import Photoshop’s vanishing points and animate a 3D model of a still image in After Effects CS3.

Puppet Tool: Lets you take a still image and it lets you create organic character animations. AMG! You must see the demo of this. It is amazing.

Dynamic Link Feature: On the Mac, bring After Effects CS3 compositions and dynamically link them into Premere Pro CS3. Then, edit the original file back in After Effects with no need to render.

Time Remapping is premere pro feature that lets you add variable speed time changes on video content. This means, you can go from normal speed, to slow-mo, to high speed, all within the Premere Pro CS timeline.

AMG! Amazing. Amazing. Visual editor within Adobe Soundbooth lets you delete background sound out of audio files with a marquee tool.

Adobe Encore is available on the Mac, finally.

Author once, then you can output three different files. Standard Deff, Blu-Ray Hi Deff, or Flash.

The Flash output from Encore brings in interactive features such as menu screens and subtitles.

Adobe Media Encoder lets you output directly to mobile devices.

Device Central

Integrated into nearly every component of the Creative Suite.

Several hundred devices.

Emulates processor performance of devices.

Preview video from Adobe Media Encoder.

According to c|net, Adobe has no plans of incorporating 64-bit architecture into Photoshop CS3. It goes without saying that this means that a 64-bit version of Flash is also not likely to appear any time soon either.
