The news is slowly leaking out, but the rumors have finally been confirmed by Adobe and released in this white paper.

Future versions of Premiere and After Effects (CS5 and up) will be 64-bit only, requiring Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit, and Leopard /Snow Leopard for the Mac.

With a 64 bit version of Premiere and After Effects, your applications will no longer be handicapped, and will once again be able to take full advantage of your system’s capabilities.

Very exciting, as this is LONG overdue. We will of course continue to make sure our products are supported in all future versions of Adobe software.

We’ve made a few changes to Retro Fusion before it’s upcoming release:

1. The font of the subtitle has been changed to a slightly different (and better) one
2. The text animator for the subtitle has been modified slightly
3. The scene selection boxes now have little selection graphics next to each one, similar in style to the rounded item selection boxes next to all the menu buttons, for a much nicer way of highlighting each scene box

Instead of making a typical border or icon inside the scene selection box, we went outside the box… literally. It fits in much better with the rest of the button highlight theme and I think you will all like it very much.

We will see if we can get an updated full preview out soon. I thought about showing all of you a picture… but it just isn’t the same. The kit is complete, all we need to do is get the tutorials recorded and web content prepared and this menu is ready to go! Stay tuned!

The release of Pro Motion Menu Kit: 06 - Retro Fusion is just days away! I’m very excited about this menu as it’s one of my personal favorites.

Well, not exactly… While designing the submenus for our upcoming Pro Motion Menu Kit: 05 - The Final Cut, we came up with some exciting new graphics that we wanted to implement into the main menu as well, requiring quite a bit of redesign. This will unfortunately push back it’s release date, however Pro Motion Menu Kit: 06 - Retro Fusion is nearly completed and will likely be released first. Look for a full preview later this week!
