"With the price staying the same as it was in CS3, CS4 is an amazing value. If you haven't made the jump to the Production Premium package, there's never been a better time to do so than now."

MicroFilmmaker Magazine, Jeremy Hanke, January 1, 2009

"The amount of improvement and successful innovation in this package is absolutely amazing. While I always hate giving software packages a perfect ten, this marks the third time in a row that the Adobe Production Premium package has earned this extraordinarily rare score here at MFM. And, just like the past releases, CS4 improves so much beyond the last release that it completely deserves it."

MicroFilmmaker Magazine, Jeremy Hanke, January 1, 2009

"If you're a user of the Adobe CS product line, you will absolutely love this release. On the other hand, if you work with media production using any other product line, you'll find a lot of nice features that will make you want to switch to Adobe CS4. There are many compelling features in this release, but if I had to pick a 'killer feature' I’d pick the completely renderless workflow offered by the Dynamic Link."

Renderosity, Sergio Rosa, February 2, 2009

"Each and every one of the suite's features and technologies has been improved in CS4, some significantly. With an eye toward accelerating encoding workflows and an initial foray into mission-critical metadata entry and retrieval, the product offers noteworthy improvements that merit attention."

Streaming Media Magazine, Tim Siglin and Paul Schmutzler, January 8, 2009

"Through a combination of user interface enhancements, new technology, personal workplace configuration, drag and drop interoperability and other under the hood improvements to performance, color management and metadata, Adobe continues to make the case to designers to look to them first for solutions to delivering content in new ways more productively."

The Seybold Report, Ron Roszkiewicz, October 9, 2008

"The Adobe CS4 Production Premium video-editing suite is a perfect combination of creative tools for the video-editing guru or post-production business. Enhancements to the CS4 Production Premium bundle include both the impressive 'wow' features and the more practical updates that make video editing much more enjoyable."

Videomaker, Mark Montgomery, December 15, 2008

"Adobe CS4 Production Premium is a notable update that focuses on a higher level of refinement in workflow, especially as a collection of applications that shares media assets seamlessly. As such, professional video editors and post-production facilities will find that this group of tools can save a great deal of time. At the granular level, the simple enhancements in each application show an acute attention to detail that even the casual editor will enjoy…. All things considered, there is no other production suite on the market that has as many industry-standard applications in one bundle."
