Six ways Creative Suite 4 Production Premium saves you time and money
Go straight from shoot to edit with faster tapeless workflows Time-saver
Skip time-consuming transcoding when importing tapeless footage. Benchmark tests show that native P2, AVCHD, XDCAM, and RED support in Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS4 makes this task three times as fast* as importing the same footage in Apple Final Cut Pro 6.
Skip the capture process with DV or HDV camera footage Time-saver
Get the benefit of a tapeless workflow without a tapeless camera. With Adobe OnLocation™ CS4, footage is automatically digitized and captured to disk as you shoot — eliminating hours of capturing.

Navigate After Effects with unprecedented ease Time-saver
Discover a dramatic new level of efficiency with Adobe After Effects® CS4. A new Quick Search feature helps you find any element instantly, and nested comp navigation makes even complex projects comprehensible at a glance.

Rough cut dialogue faster than ever Time-saver
Find the right spot in your footage fast — without tedious scrubbing. Instead, let Speech Search generate a transcript of recorded dialogue, and then quickly navigate to key words and phrases.
Eliminate rendering delays as you develop your project Time-saver
Move more quickly between Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Soundbooth® CS4, and Encore® CS4. Expanded Adobe Dynamic Link functionality lets you see updates across these Production Premium components immediately without rendering.

Apply Production Premium workflow benefits to Final Cut Pro projects Time-saver
