Adobe has announced an upgrade to the Creative Cloud Video Suite for NAB

Rich Young a the ProVideo Coalition has the news on this exciting next release of Adobe’s Creative Cloud Video Suite.

Looks like Adobe is taking aim at the finishing power of AVID with the ability to add effects to Master Clips in Premiere, as well as edit Text from After Effects Projects within Premiere.

Scott Simmons has a more extensive look at Premiere.

And as for After Effects, the effects on a per mask basis is pretty exciting, as it will change the use of layers and adjustment layers within After Effects.

Chris and Trish Meyer look deeper at After Effects.

Looking forward to it. The fast update cycle is pretty awesome. I would like to see AVID come close.

Adobe Creative Suite CS6 is annouced

Adobe has announced the released of CS6, which will be officially out within in 30 days. You can still buy outright, but it does seem that cloud makes more sense.

The prices can be seen on the product comparison page. Even the Master collection, which is a $549 upgrade or $2599 full seems a better deal in the cloud, as a $30 a month initial deal with a year subscription makes it much cheaper, and you already know you will get a new version every year.
