All of the new products have the moniker "CS3", such as Photoshop CS3, Premiere Pro CS3, After Effects CS3, etc. However, I think the confusion lies in the fact that some people refer to the entire suite of products simply as "CS3"... which if you want to split hairs is not the proper name. (Although we all know what they mean, so that's a bit picky on my part.) Rather, Adobe has several package bundles (one for web, one for print, one for video) such as "Production Studio CS3." To answer the question about why not upgrade -- here's my top reasons FOR upgrading: 1. Support for multicore and multi CPUs -- current version doesn't support this 2. Improved memory management -- PPCS3 can support larger projects without bogging down like current version 3. Improved slow motion -- no longer must we be embarrassed by the quality of the slowmo. Plus, it has time-remapping features 4. Ships with OnLocation CS3 (formerly Serious Magic DVRack) -- This software alone is worth the price of the upgrade, if not more so. 5. The bundled version also ships with Ultra CS3 (Formerly Serious Magic Ultra)-- Which is (IMHO) the best keying software on the market. 6. Improved exporting speeds and expanded format options in Adobe Media Encoder -- CS3 ships with a TON of presets for mobile devices, website services (such as Google video, Youtube, etc.), Ipod presets, and better Flash capabilities. 7. (This doesn't pertain to me... but perhaps to others?) Support for Windows Vista 8. Encore is now part of PPCS3 and ships with it -- if you don't currently own Encore, you now get this as part of your upgrade price. So to me... the answer to "why not" is: Don't upgrade if none of the above apply to you or excite you.

It's a bit confusing to me and if you go to www.adobe.com and follow the Products link you'll see what I mean - Premiere is the traditional name for the editing sw but the latest versions are using the name Creative Suite 3 (CS3), except that there also is a Premiere Pro CS3. The web site half-heartedly explains the differences but if you read the details close enough and over again enough times, it might become clearer. Actually I need to go back there to figure out when CS3 might be available... --- In Adobe-Premiere@ <mailto:Adobe-Premiere%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com, Rieni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > At 20-5-2007 06:44, djdwij wrote: > > >Hey guys, > > > >Just wondering, what will be your reason not to buy Adobe CS3 now - > >are you exploring other competing products?
