Adobe Betas After Effects, Premiere CS3

Although Adobe today began shipping the Design and Premium SKUs of its Creative Suite 3, Production Premium and Master Collection are awaiting the final new versions of After Effects and Premiere. Both of those products were released publicly in beta form Monday.

Interested video producers can download Adobe After Effects Pro CS3 and Premiere Pro CS3 from the Adobe Labs Web site. Windows and Mac versions are available for both products, but users must have previous versions of the software to activate the beta. Adobe offered a similar preview of Photoshop CS3 in December, enabling Mac users to try out the new Intel-compatible release.
