Adobe Keynote

Four speakers from Adobe discussed the new features in upcoming release of CS4. The new Flash Player (10) will now have native 3D support which will allow it to run real-time. There will now be x, y, & z coordinates to work in.

In Flash there will be a new text engine that will render better online. The team from InDesign was brought in to help work with these improvements. Also the traditional way of tweening has been redone. You will be able to click and drag, resize the tweening path, and add 3D effects on the fly…all without having to work with frames.

AIR was also discussed and it seems like it will be very important moving forward as you work on multiscreen experiences. Many examples, but a few really cool ones were:

Tweet Deck – This program (in Beta) helps you track Twitter chats and manage your account
Destroy Flickr – Very cool way to organize your photos
