The faster Flash Player is a pleasant surprise
This is probably the best package of software for creative people. Making storyboards and presentations is a breeze. Even amateurs and first timers, once they get the hang of it, can turn out interesting videos and animation shorts with a little help from experienced people. The best features are no doubt the Dreamweaver and revamped Flash Player.
