There's been big changes in video since Adobe announced the release, two years ago, of Creative Suite 3 (CS3). Even in the months since Adobe released its moving-image editing suite Production Premium CS4, things have moved along apace in videoland. High resolution video has become ubiquitous across the web, from Old Media newspaper web sites to bedroom vloggers.
What's more, the variety of recording and viewing devices continues to grow with solid state media recorders becoming the norm, and increasingly more traditional filmmakers looking to the web as a mainstream distribution channel.
Adobe has tried to tap these trends in CS4, which means greater emphasis on meta-tagging content so that media is visible to search engines. There's more support for capturing and processing content for multiple scenarios. You can record straight to disc and edit non-tape formats such as AVCHD (if your computer hardware is up to scratch). Adobe has also tried to find new ways to speed up the workflow, whether it is harnessing the potential of speedier computers with 64bit processing, enhancing integration between different Adobe apps, or streamling the user interface.
CS4 re-inforces Production Premium's position as a solid and very capable professional editing suite where increased integration of programmes boosts productivity. For serious videographers there should be more than enough power to cover off almost all your video tasks.
For users of Production Premium CS3, a suite that was designed to take on rival Final Cut Pro on the Mac side - and did it well, by most accounts - the question of whether to upgrade will depend largely on one's needs and budget. This isn't a massive upgrade, like the introduction of the first Premiere Pro, where the whole application's engine was rewritten, but if you're doing a lot of videowork then it's worth the additional expense.

Money Talks! So what is Premium Phone Conferencing?
As we all know, regular phone conferencing is nothing new. It has been around for years, and there are many companies pushing even more brands in the hope of capturing a slice of this particularly lucrative pie. Applications might include a company that deploys it in order to hold a sales briefing with their remote workforce.
In the UK, such services are typically offered ‘for free’, in return retention of a proportion of the accrued revenues generated by participants calling in to conference.
Premium conferencing, as the name suggests, simply takes that concept one stage further. Participants do not call a 0845 ‘sharecall’ number to take part – rather, they call in on a premium rate number instead.
The conference is hosted by anyone that adds value to the call in order to justify the premium rate element: this could be a celebrity, a sports personality, astrologer, lawyer, or expert in any given field. That person then receives the majority of the accrued revenue – not least since they initiated the calls in the first place.
Such technology can also be used to hold fundraisers: celebrities, for example, could agree to donate a proportion of the funds generated to their favourite charity. Good PR for both the celeb and, for a change, premium rate - and useful money for a worthy cause in the process.
The success of such phone ‘events’ depends on the combination of the perceived value of the cost of the call to the caller together with how the event is marketed.
If such conferencing is to be used in a ‘one-to-many’ format, having a hundred or so callers simultaneously call in means that the ‘open’ conference is out of the question – just one participant with a screaming child in the background would end up ruining the entire event for everyone.
To this end, upon calling, participants are asked if they would like to join the queue for a chance to speak to the host, who can monitor all activity on their conference in realtime via their internet-enabled PC. He or she then talks 1:1 with the first caller, with all others listening in, including those that elected not to be placed in the queue – so audience participation is an option, not a prerequisite.
Alternatively, such technology can be deployed to facilitate ad-hoc ‘one-to-one’ revenue generating value-added phone calls, such as legal advice: the lawyer need not invoice the caller: rather, the caller pays for their counsel on a per-minute basis instead.
Furthermore, since premium rate billing already features in most developed countries, money can be made on a global scale, and not just a national one. Such numbers can be promoted in conjunction with the world’s first truly global medium, the internet, allowing conference hosts to make money from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
