GameDev.net – Product Review – Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, Encore CS3, and SoundBooth CS3
For all the video included in a game, whether it be cut scenes, the game introduction, or even marketing materials, you’ll need a video editing package. Adobe’s Premiere Pro CS3 is an awesome editing package and if you’ve purchased Photoshop and Flash, it was probably included in the suite anyway.
If you’re working with video, then you’ll also need both an audio editing package and a DVD authoring package to create the chapters and menus for the disc. Adobe has these needs taken care of with their SoundBooth CS3 and Encore CS3 packages.
Premiere Pro CS3 and SoundBooth CS3 are both available as a stand-alone package or as part of Adobe’s Creative Suite 3. Encore CS3 ships with the stand-alone version of Premiere Pro CS3 or you can get all three packages as part of Creative Suite 3 Production Premium, which also includes After Effects CS3 Professional, Photoshop CS3 Extended, Flash CS3 Professional, and Illustrator CS3. All three packages are also available in the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection, which includes everything.
