  The Good: Adobe CS3 Production Premium's snug integration enables dragging and dropping of content throughout the applications while Dynamic Link skips rendering steps; Premiere has new slow-motion effects; AfterEffects adds Puppet animation and Shape Layers; Clip Notes streamline workflow; suite previews content on handheld gadgets; HD and Blu-ray support; works on some Macs.

  The Bad: Adobe CS3 software can be a nightmare for newbies to master; lacks AVCHD support; color correction is basic; pricey technical help; limited options for Mac users.
