Having been involved with Post Secondary education for over a decade and an active member of the international, national and local New Media Communities, I have jammed a lot of experience into a relatively short time frame. Nine books in seven years, a ton of speaking engagements , Adobe Community Expert, Community MX partner and other activities are a good example of that one. The biggest honor so far has been my being lumped in with a group of 10 influential Flash Designers that Adobe pulled together to celebrate the 10'th anniversary of Flash. I hope you enjoy my contributions to Activetuts+!

It seems that nothing has changed from CS4, or there is some change?
Andre, they have deep sixed quite a few of the formats. We have dropped from 16 choices – Ciao Blu ray and audio stuff – to 2 choices – mp4 and flv/fv4.
Another major change, as i point out, is you get to see both passes rather than the one in previous versions.
some of those presets look pretty handy. thanks for the cast, tom.
one piece of advice i can offer is at the top of the screencast, go over exactly what new features you are going to discuss so the viewer is ready to take in those points.
Thank you :)
great post as usual!
i can get what i need here. It is so great
Yeah, it’s good, very useful, thanks :)
Just started upgrading out machines to CS5 and noticed that the H.264 codec doesn’t encode right in Media Encoder and in After Effects. If you encode a file at 1mbps it will turn out to be 200kbps for the video, the temp .m4v file looks like it’s the correct size while encoding is happening. Then when encoding is finished the file shrinks back down. F4Vs work fine, can you please fix h.264, it works fine in CS4 still.
Informative…. thank you for sharing it.
