5.5 is available right now
Just got mine! Has anyone installed and does anyone have any gotchas to report before I do the install?
I am planning on 1) backing up the system using CCC. 2) uninstalling each app in the CS5 suite. 3) running the CS cleaner script. 4) installing CS5.5 Master suite. 5) Enjoying the new version so much I might just take the rest of the day off to play with it.
How does that sound? thx!!!
Just installed CS5.5, nice job adobe! However, not much change except what I found here:
Audition is back, and much improved since the Cool Edit days. It now looks like an Apple SoundTrack Pro clone - uncanny how alike they now are. Audition even has a plugin scan that picks up all the AU and VST plugs, so that's really grand. Perhaps if my Protools machine ever breaks I might give it a try...
On Location won't open old projects, but heck, it never really worked anyway. Premiere Pro seems the same, but AE now has Synthetic Aperture's color plug, so if u don't have that one already, that's a decent change. I suspect Adobe is trying to create an equal to FCS 3, and they pretty much have now, + some.
Illustrator and Photoshop are a bit snappier, but perhaps that's cause I just tossed my old settings and went for a clean install.
I did notice a bug with Acrobat X, as it won't display thumbnail pictures of PDFs saved in the previous Acrobat X version until saved in the new version, but that's a nit really.
So I can't wait to make my first million off this suite using Flash Builder to create an iPad app, then perhaps I can afford to buy CS6 when it comes out...
Cheers!

I'm loving mine. Photoshop and Illustrator are unchanged.
On the video side..
Premiere Pro has some nice changes. You can do timeline based keyframing. The biggie is an audio synch for HDSLR cameras like plualeyes.
Also performance is better.
I noticed that Media Encoder is all new and much better too.
Audition is a big step forward from soundbooth
After Effects has a bunch of stuff including a Warp Stabilizer, lens blurs and a null-camera rotation node
Indesign has a bunch of new ebook publishing stuff that I still need to play around with
Flash and Dreamweaver are all about HTML 5 and CSS3
ThanxOrigineel gepost door mixedupmacandpc

u know we're just kidding Hermie!
On another note, I just discovered Adobe Story Beta in CS5.5 - perhaps it was there in 5, but I did not see. It could be kinda cool if you are writing lots of scripts and using On Location with Premiere, which I would like to in theory, but still stuck on FCS3...waiting for FCPX in June - ooh la la.
Anyway, script writing software is pretty much awful whatever you use, and Story just does not have enough of the features found in Final Draft...so far. It can't even import FD scripts as it garbles the script pretty bad - no support for features like "dual dialogue" and the like. An interesting start however at making this chore a bit more fun and social-like.
Mixed, it's been there since CS4 LOL
I've never used it, because Im not writing scripts. It does have some potential for closed captioning, but the speech recognition needs to get better.
