Design Premium or Master Collection?

I recently ordered the CS5 Design Premium. I haven't opened the software box yet and that's because I'm wondering, should I have bought the master collection? I ask this because I'm really into creating slideshows for my photos. I already have Lightroom, but don't think the slideshows are sophisticated enough. I like adding sound and ken burns effects to my shows.  I'd also love to be able to create some sort of animations like iMovie does with their themes. Should I be purchasing the Master collection to achieve all of this? Or should I stick with design premium and purchase something like fotomagico?
Thanks for the help.

I think the only feature that I'd really like to have that After Effects would provide is the ability to create animations during the slideshow. I would say going with Master collection is more of a luxury than an actual requirement. I definitely need the Design Premium, but don't necessarily need the Master Collection. However, I know that if I end up really wanting after effects, it would be better in the long run to just buy the Master collection. But you know how it goes, you buy something and then don't even have time to learn it! So I'm really undecided.

  • Upgrade Adobe CS6 Design & Web premium to Master Collection.

    Hi, is it possible to upgrade Adobe CS6 Design & Web premium to Master Collection? What is the cost?

    I'm not sure, but the answer must be a Yes. Coz, it is like you are upgrading to a product which has more products.
    If you have purchased Design & Web Premium CS6 within 30 days, then it is better to return and purchase Master Collection itself.
    I'm not sure of the cost either.

  • Production Premium and Master Collection

    Hello community,
    i've got a question concerning Creative Suite 6 Production Premium and the Master Collection.
    I will be using mainly Premiere and After Effects, that's why i am planning to buy Production Premium.
    Here you can see the different versions:
    http://www.adobe.com/de/products/cs6/faq.edu.html
    I noticed, there is a star behind Premiere and After effects in the Production Premium version, but just a star behind Premiere in the Master Collection. What does the star mean? Are these different versions of Premiere and After effects?
    Thanks!

  • When would be good time for me to upgrade from CS4 production premium to Master Collection 5.5/6?

    Hello Adobers.
    I have CS4 Production Premium but I need Indesign so was thinking of upgrading to Master collection. It seems like Master collection 6 will be out early next year? So I am confused about when would be the best time to upgrade from $$$ saving point of view?
    So should I upgrade from....
    a) - CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 5.5 now and then  > to Master collection 6 later
    or
    b) CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 6 directly
    or
    c) - CS4 Production Premium > to  Master collection 5.5 now and forget about version 6.
    I assume option c) would be cheapest. Which will be cheaper out of a) and b) ?
    Thank you for advice.

    Adobe has made no announcement about CS6. The best time to buy anything is when you need it.

  • Is it possible to upgrade Adobe CS6 Design & Web premium to Master Collection?

    I am a Visual Communications and Design student who has already purchased the Design and Web premium but recently found out that I will be needing more programs than I have. I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade to the Master Collection, say paying the difference from what I already have. I would have to imagine it is possible, but I can't find any current information on it.
    Thank you

  • Create and link to After Effects compositions with Dynamic Link (Production Premium or Master Collection only)

    i have adobe creative suite master collection cs5... i'm currently editing  my project in advertising in premiere pro and tried to replace my clip with an AE, then this window appeared saying "adobe dynamic link needs production premium." but your post says that it works on master collection too. can you tell me a fix that does not require uninstalling or deactivating coz i need to finish my project by tom and my time is running out thanks

    If you're under time constraints, just render the clip out of AE and import it into Premiere.  You can worry about getting Dynamic Link straightened out later.
    If you're unwilling to do a total uninstall, run the Adobe Cleaner application and then reinstall, you really have very little choice in the matter.  Get busy.

  • How to update Flash Builder 4.6 Premium from Master Collection CS6

    I want to update from Flash Builder 4.6 Premium to Flash Builder 4.7 Premium. But I have no seperate Serial number for this product. Only for the complete Master Collection CS6.

    There are no updates for Beta 2.
    You're probably seeing one of two issues with the latest nightly build:
    1) playerglobal.swc change http://forums.adobe.com/thread/559312?tstart=0
    2) Namespace change from xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo" to xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro in Creative Suite 5 Master Collection?

    Hello
    I have one question about Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I donwloaded Creative Suite 5 Master Collection Trial version and after check installer there is't  Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Why  Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro are't in Creative Suite 5 Master Collection? Becouse it's trial version or another reason?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The trial CS5 will only have the "new" applications.
    Acrobat 9, not be "new", won't be in the trial.
    Should you purchase CS5, Acrobat 9 Pro will be on the install media.
    If you download, there will be two items to obtain.
    --| CS5 suite selected/purchased
    --| Acrobat 9 Pro
    See: Install Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium, Design Standard, Web Premium, and Master Collection

  • Adobe Design Premium exporting MPEG II

    I am working on a client PC.  They have adobe design premium cs5.5 (a version of the CS package I am not familiar with).
    it is running on windows 7 64 bit professional.
    They want to export MPEG II (for DVD) and H264 versions of files from a quicktime LT master.
    I am seem to have very limited export setting available within media encoder, and no MPEG II.  Any suggestions on whether this is a set up problem, a legacy codec not included in adobe design premium 5.5 or some other problem which I have not thought of?

    Design Premium products have limited version of AME that doesn't support many format.  For 5.5, you need to have Premiere Pro, Production Premium or Master Collection to get access to full export options including MPEG II.  Since those products no longer are available for sale, your client can subscribe to Creative Cloud Complete 2014 (or Premiere Pro CC 2014) which gives them latest AME that allows MPEG II encoding.  https://creative.adobe.com/plans

  • Moving from CS 5.5 Master Collection to CS 6 Design & Web Premium

    Last year I purchased a downloadable version of CS5.5 Master Collection and installed it on 2 Macs. I recently purchased CS6 Design and Web Premium.
    Should I uninstall all CS5.5 products before I install CS6? Can I then go back and install the CS5.5 Master products I need that are not included in CS6 Design Premium? After I activate CS6 on one Mac, can I then download and immediately use on the second Mac?
    Also, as insurance on any mishaps, do I have permission to download CS 5.5 Master Collection indefinitely, since I did purchase it?
    Thanks for your guidance!
    -Steve

    you can but, need not uninstall part or all of cs5.5
    you can install and activate your cs5.5 apps on two computers concurrently.
    you can install and activate your cs6 apps on two computers concurrently.
    and yes, as of today you can dl cs5.5 mc (and cs6 dp, as well) indefinitely.  but, it would be prudent to maintain your own copies of both cs5.5 and cs6 installation files so you are not subject to future changes.

  • Try CS6 Design and Web Premium then CS6 Master Collection?

    Would it be possible to try CS6 Design & Web Premium for 30 days and then try CS6 Master Collection for an additional 30 days?

    Hi, tjbrej,
    Vikrant is right.  You can try each application for one 30-day trial period.  So if you downloaded CS6 Design, you couldn't download Web Premium because it has many of the same apps within it.
    Since there are so many applications inside each suite it is hard to try them all in one 30-day period.
    Two alternatives to spread out your investigations over more than 30 days
    Download one suite and then download remaining applications individually afterwards
    Download each application individually for the most time flexibility
