New effects, includ­ing drop shadow, blur, glow, bevel, and color adjust, per­mit more com­pelling designs with pixel-perfect con­trol and pre­ci­sion. The new cus­tom eas­ing tool enables pre­cise con­trol over ani­ma­tion. The rev­o­lu­tion­ary FlashType font-rendering engine ensures clear, high-quality text.

These new expres­sive fea­tures raise the bar for the qual­ity of busi­ness and indi­vid­ual web­sites and improve dig­i­tal expe­ri­ences. The new video tools and work­flows in Flash Pro­fes­sional 8 offer industry-first capa­bil­i­ties for inte­grat­ing video within dig­i­tal experiences.

Video pro­fes­sion­als can now eas­ily design, encode, and deploy cus­tomized, inter­ac­tive video using the new Flash Video Encoder, which deliv­ers some of the high­est qual­ity video in the indus­try at the small­est file sizes. The encoder oper­ates as part of the inte­grated author­ing tools in Flash or as a stand-alone prod­uct with batch-encoding options.

New sup­port for 8-bit alpha chan­nels at run­time means cus­tomers can now com­bine semi-transparent video with other video, graph­ics, or dig­i­tal assets for amaz­ing online pro­duc­tions. Also included is a new Flash Video plug-in for pro­fes­sional non­lin­ear video edit­ing sys­tems so edi­tors can export video directly for the web in Flash Video format.
