Adobe's dropped AE 7.0 and Premeire Pro 2.0 and both look gorgeous. In any event, I thought I'd drop this, since I know there are some editors/graphic designers on the board. Unfortunately I'm in Balto/DC area, so I cannot attend any (why no DC, Adobe?) but they are doing a tour to show off wares and whatnot:

Can't wait to use AE 7, though. I've heard good things about the supposed graph editor that will give you better control over movement keys. That's be especially helpful for 3D. Hopefully they'll get it here at work soon.

try it now

AND woo hoo I'm over 1k posts!

oh yeah

i'm trying to learn how to use InDesign.
old dogs don't like new tricks.

We were drooling over that as well here. There isn't any new effects as far as we could see, but the interface looks slick as hell. Also, the fact that integrtion has been panned out even further is simply amazing. I use Premeire Pro at home, so the fact that you can take a sequence from AE and drop it into PP and watch it realtime...fantastic. Also, that you can edit your photoshop docs in AE...timesaver. Adobe, for all their downfalls, actually has been doing some things right.
