In the process, the programs will keep layers, color settings, and styles intact. Shared CS3 file formats and dragging and dropping allow you to move content briskly between the applications. And if you already know your way around, creative tools, such as Puppet animation in After Effects, are easy to tinker with. That said, we found the interface changes an improvement, while Bridge can smooth the workflow. But unfortunately, as with the rest of CS3, the many tabbed and drop-down menus with tiny labels prevent newbies from diving in without first investing hours with manuals and tutorials.
There are plenty of panels to drag and dock on the screen. The Production Premium bundle offers shared keyboard shortcuts, enhanced tweaks to workflows, and streamlined management of palettes. Once the programs are open, interfaces have changed somewhat, as former Macromedia properties resemble Adobe's style. Mac users must have an Intel-based machine to run Premiere, Soundbooth, or Encore, or to use the Dynamic Link and Capture features in After Effects Windows and BootCamp are required for OnLocation. We also worked on a laptop with a 15 inch, 1,280x800 monitor, which felt cramped. This package requires at least 32 GB of hard drive space, a 32-bit video card, and a 1,280x1,024 resolution monitor. The process was relatively free of surprises, and custom installation lets you pick or reject third-party content, codecs, and libraries. Installing the five-disc Adobe CS3 Production Premium took about an hour on both Windows XP and Vista PCs.
