Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium Review

Adobe CS4 is editing software designed for professionals and it works on, both Windows and Mac platform. It is well equipped with some of the better features found in an editing program.
One of the best features of the Adobe CS4 is the ease with which one can shift between workspaces. It is a very well integrated package with a number of applications, that include Adobe After Effects CS4, Adobe Flash CS4 Professional, Adobe Illustrator CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, Adobe Soundbooth CS4, and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 with Encore CS4 and OnLocation. These applications are capable of delivering brilliant results. The cost of the CS4 is towards the higher side. However, the applications are all the more expensive, when considering their individual costs. Out and out it is a neat program with lots of good features, and at a price that can be actually called reasonable, at least considering the quality and number of features.

Sony Vegas Pro 9 Review

Sony Vegas Pro is editing software for Windows and although it can perform both, audio and video editing, audio editing is certainly its strength. It has quite a few new features, but at the same time, it also shares the same problems like the earlier version 8.1.
It fails to offer many new features when you compare it with Vegas Pro 8. It includes a few new plug-ins and visual effects. It supports Blu-ray authoring in MPEG2 AVC format, thanks to the DVD Architect5. It also offers support for AVCHD, DV, mpeg2 HDV, and MPEG. Simple tasks can be very difficult to perform and you may have to take the help of tutorials to do them.
Although, Sony Vegas Pro has some flaws it is a good bargain at the price, when compared to other editing programs in the same price range. It has the capability to provide results that can be achieved from a professional program.

Transcend is not the most recognizable brand name, but this SDHC card delivers decent quality at an affordable price. This card appears to have a slightly higher failure rate than some other cards, but not significantly higher. If you are willing to trade some reliability for a few dollars, then it is a good choice.

MoFoto 500GB Portable Video Storage Device Review

We’ve reviewed a lot of flash memory camcorders, and generally we think flash camcorders are the best of breed of the digital camcorders. They are smaller, lighter, less power hungary, and more reliable, but one thing we’ve never liked about them is the limited video storage. As the recording quality has skyrocketed up to 1080p @ 60 frames per second, the amount of storage space needed to operate one of these camcorders rapidly exceeds the current size of flash memory cards. And even more disturbing is the high performance memory cards needed to record at that quality are VERY expensive. One of our editors stumbled upon the MoFoto Portable Video Storage Device, and we realized that it would be a great companion to the flash camcorders we like so much.
