Which Adobe Programs Do I Need For My Videos?

Hello,
Please forgive me for not knowing the technical terms for what I aspire to do. I have worked with video for many years (started with Premiere 4.5) but never 3D objects other than titles.
I want to be able to draw 3d models of objects and people (in the round so that they will look correct at any camera angle), position the models and cameras starting points, move the camera angle during the video, and animate the 3D characters themselves (make them walk, bend, smile). I think I saw something about a lip sync tool as well.
I want to be able to combine 3d models with real video as well. I assume I would render the 3d scene on an alpha channel or green screen and then pop in the video background using Premiere but not sure.
For final outputs I will need to upload to youtube and create widescreen DVDs.
Please let me know which Adobe apps are best for the...
1. 3D model creation
2. scene creation, animation and rendering
3. combining real world video with the 3D characters and objects and outputting to the formats mentioned above
4. Anything I missed?
Many thanks!

Adobe is not in the 3D business that you might think. Adobe software (Premiere/After Effects) can do compositing but not character animation.
You might do well to take a class in this stuff where you can learn the technology and purchase the correct software at a student discount.

    Adobe Illustrator.  Your company logo should be a vector file.  Image files can be "Placed" in Illustrator.  Artwork created for printing can be drawn in Illustrator and saved as .ai, .eps, and .pdf files which can be imported into your printer's RIP.  But, check with your print vendors and see what they require.  This does not rule-out Photoshop, however Photoshop can be limited.  So, it would be a good idea to have Photoshop and Illustrator loaded in your workstation with Illustrator being the go-to application.

    I am a professional photographer of many years standing and at the moment I have a student for 12 months, who I am teaching how to use various Adobe programs, but to introduce her to video editing, I have purchased Adobe Premier Elements 13 which is less complicated than the Premier Pro that I use. The program works perfectly, except for one thing.... when adding a title to the short video sequence we are working with, if I use a particular font (Metallophile Sp8) which I obtained from my Adobe Typekit, it crashes the program,.... all other fonts work perfectly....can anybody help me please?

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on? And what video card/graphics card does this computer use?
    From your description, can I assume that this Mettallophile Sp8 font is being recognized by Premiere Elements 13 to the extent
    that it can be seen and remains seen in Titler's list of font choices - even after the crashes?
    If you opened a new project, imported nothing, and created a text title in the Titler with this Mettallophile Sp8 font, does the program crash?
    Please review the following which discuss fonts and Premiere Elements and determine if anything in it helps.

    Provided the computer-end fits, you are free to use one with a HIGHER Wattage rating. No damage whatsoever will be done to any component, but it will likely run cooler (but may be slightly heavier).
    If you use one with too LOW a Wattage rating, you will not be able to charge and run at the same time, and your computer's top speed (for its most intensive computations) will be limited.

  • How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C

    How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C so i can do nlite

    Hi
    Your notebook seems to be a Satellite L300-03C PSLB8C-03C01X.
    As already suggested in your first thread visit the Toshiba Canada page and choose this notebook model on the driver page.
    http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_bymodel.asp
    Then download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (SATA) - Floppy drive image. Its for Vista but the files in this package should work with Win XP too.
    Include these files using nLite in order to create new Win XP disk containing the SATA drivers.
    Finally use this disk for booting.

  • Which Adobe flash do I download for iOs 5.1

    Which Adobe flash do I download for iOs 5.1

    have OnLive Desktop Plus on my iPad 2. It works well when viewing websites with Flash videos and Flash slideshows, etc., as it has the full desktop version of Flash. It never crashes or exhibits any other problems. The built in browser is IE. Text is set in the browser at the smallest possible size, and it can't be resized, and so it isn't the best browser for extended reading. It costs $4.99 a month, but it is well worth it. It includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and cloud storage. Best of all is the extremely fast browsing speed of 350-850 Mbps (that's what I've been getting, although OnLive claims 600-1,000 Mbps). It does not replace your Internet access, as you must already have WiFi or cellular data for it to work and then it boosts that to world class Mbps speed (a Gig per second browsing at its best).

  • What program do i need for making dvds I can play in a dvd player

    what program do i need for making dvds that i can play in a dvd player?

    iDVD.
    Apple no longer sells it. Buy any version of iLife from your favourite software vendor. iLife 11, 09, and 08 all contain the same version of iDVD.
    When you get the disc install only iDVD, then update it here:
    iDVD 7.1.2

  • Which Java program do I use for this game?

    Okay, I'm programming a video game for my High School grad project.
    Now, I'm just wondering, which Java program do I use for it? It will be 2-d, I'd like it to have SNES like graphics, and it will be a platformer, but kind of like Metroid. You will be able to change forms, from ice to water to a gaseous state, and you have different powers according to which form you're in, like forming an ice bridge in ice form, slipping through cracks in water form, and rising higher in a gaseous form.
    Thank you for your help.

    no, not if you did not code java before.
    There are IDEs like Eclipse arround but that are not good at beginning because they are quite complex and don't take away the coding.

  • WHICH JDK java hotspot I  need for weblogic 10.3.6  SOA 11.1.1.7 and OSB 11.1.1.7

    I used jrockit but somebody told me that It will be good to move to JDK 1.7.0.28 because jrockit will gone in future.
    WHICH JDK java hotspot I  need for weblogic 10.3.6  SOA 11.1.1.7 and OSB 11.1.1.7?
    and where can I download it?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    For WL 10.3.6, SOA/OSB 11.1.1.7 the Enterprise Deployment Guide has still jrockit sdk 1.6 as recommendation...
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/core.1111/e12036/create_domain.htm#CCHBFCDC
    The roadmap is to converge jrockit and hotspot JVMs, completion of the convergence project is targeted for JDK 8.
    http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/1854982
    Things are already changed for 12c, but for 11g I'd still go with jrockit...
    Cheers,

  • Which version of iPhoto you need for streaming?

    I have an iPhone 4, with iOS 5, streaming active. But there is no streaming of pictures towards my Mac. I read the explanations, the help pages in iCloud and Apple doesn't mention at all which version of iPhoto you need for this feature. It's sure that in the Sources I don't have "Streaming", as I can see in their image. I have iPhoto 8.1.2 and OS 10 6.8.

    Hi, thanks for the answer, but iCloud works on my Mac with Snow Leopard.
    From Safari I can access through icloud.com to Calendar, Contacts, Mail, iWork and Find my iPhone. Actually I don't have iWork for the iPhone, so I can't really use it, and I didn't activate Mail (in my iPhone), because all my accounts are IMAP and messages are saved forever.
    Well, the only other thing that interested me was Streaming (so is it called in Italian, but you are right, in the English version of the help pages it is called Photo Stream).
    I'm aware that the version of iPhoto that I need for that feature must be more recent than mine, but I still hope that there is a version of iPhoto which supports Photo Stream and requires only Snow Leopard. I think that after iLife 9 (my version) there is directly iLife 11 (the present version), and I know it requires only 10.6.3 and not Lion. If Photo Stream is supported by iLife 11 and iLife 11 requires 10.6.3.... But perhaps there is an exception for some features, like Photo Stream. I would like to know...
    I don't want to update to Lion, it is a slow system.
    Thanks again

    I use a PC - I need to open ai and eps files - what adobe program do I need to purchase?

    You need Illustrator to open .ai files. That is, if you want to edit them.
    If you just need to place them, then tell us what you want to do with the files.
