Today marks the global launch of Adobe CS5, so we can finally talk about the new features (and will be doing, at length, in the coming months). There's a bunch of info on Adobe TV but amazingly the video network's getting hammered at the moment, so connecting may not be as easy as it should be (as in, you can't). SNAFU bandwidth moment, but it'll come back to life soon. Small rodents are being inserted into tubes to flush out the dust.
To clarify two things we've been asked a lot -
April 12 is 'soft launch day' - when we get to reveal all the features and pricing for the CS5 applications and collections. You can pre-order everything, but delivery (either physical or EDS) won't happen until the mid-May. Free ground shipping for physical orders of the Collections applies for pre-orders placed until April 29, but only for customers in the USA, Mexico and Canada.
Users of Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects must remember that the CS5 editions are 64-bit only, so you will need a 64-bit processor and the x64 version of Windows Vista or Windows 7 to install these two applications. All other applications in the suite are compatible with 32-bit x86 systems.
