Not Worth Upgrading For
Very disappointing release! I have been a GoLive user for going on two years now and after a long waiting period, CS2 is finally upon us. Unfortunately, CS2 did not herald the bug fixes and core improvements so many GoLive users have been waited for.

The most glaring problem is that GoLive CS2 still does not have a history feature. Even ridiculously simple functions like previewing your in-development pages make it impossible to revert to a previous state and undue any mistakes. Perform a find/replace and again, once you commit to the replace you cannot back out of this change and revert to an earlier state.

What is the point of previewing your webpage if you can't go back and correct a mistake? It is this kind of blatant oversight that damns GoLive to being a subpar program that just doesn't feel as intuitive or polished as other Adobe products.

There have been a number of improvements (such as an advanced CSS library) but small tweaks cannot make you overlook the fact that at its core, GoLive CS2 is a buggy and fundamentally broken product that fails to deliver on every level.

Another poor showing. When will Adobe get this right? Not worth the money as a stand alone product and certainly not worth upgrading from CS. ... Read more

So you've got a Webcam, a reliable Internet connection, and goodlighting. Your next step just might be installing CU-SeeMe Pro, from White Pine Software. This package will get you on the road to video chatting with bothcurrent, and future, friends.

The accompanying Quick Start Guide will serve as your ready guidebook as youbegin your journey. CU-SeeMe Pro offers a number of options: point-to-pointcalling, group conferencing, or cybercasting. Most likely, your needs will fallinto one of these categories.

Start by checking out CU-SeeMe World. After downloading the latest version ofthe Web plug-in, you can log in to this cybercafe and immediately start chattingwith fellow CU-SeeMe netizens. Depending on your connection speed and computingpower, your video and audio will range from choppy to near-pristine. You'll findthat the majority of the chat here, as well as in other uses, occurs via thekeyboard.

After getting a taste with CU-SeeMe World, give your cross-continent friends orfamily a ring. For those familiar with some of the most popular instant- messaging applications, you'll feel right at home with the ConferencingCompanion. Rather than type in your mother's IP address each time you would liketo videochat, the Conferencing Companion will store all of her data in theaddress book, and even notify you when she's online. Contacting her is easierthan picking up the phone: she's now just a double-click away.

Others may find the group conferencing options to be the answer to a number ofprofessional woes. Hoping to get your colleague's opinion on a new company logo,or the phrasing of a press release? CU-SeeMe Pro offers an even easier optionthan standard e-mail: the collaboration tools allow you to share applications,use the virtual whiteboard, and transfer files. You'll both (or all for thatmatter--there isn't a limit to the number of users allowed to collaborate) seethe changes being made, as they are made. When you want to take a turn, a clicklets the group know that you have some thoughts to add.

And perhaps you would like to take your 15 minutes of fame by cybercastingyourself. This one-way feature outputs a video and audio feed to all usersconnected, but individual users will not be able to send video, audio, text, orgraphics back to you.

With a number of satisfactory features, CU-SeeMe Pro offers a great opportunityto get into videochatting. Invest in it for yourself, then send (or recommend)copies to your nearest and dearest. Setup is easy, using it is intuitive, and,should you run into any problems, both the printed guide and the Web site arewell-equipped reference tools. And, if all else fails, ask someone in thecybercafe's Corner Booth. --Emilie Dirks ... Read more

CU-SeeMe Pro is an excellent tool!
I'm pretty new to computers and when I was given CU-SeeMe Pro for a present, I was a little nervous that it would be hard to use, but it's great! it's been easy to use and quite fun actually! It's very cool how you can see people you are talking to rather than just typing words. and there are some existing rooms you can go to meet poeple. I really like it!

Disasterous lack of support, Buggy software
I purchased the version 3.1 and suffered frequent lock ups so I thout I'd bite the bullet and buy the version 4.0 so called PRO version. Now I cannot connect at all with the people I used to enjoy chatting with. When I Email requests Customer support I might as well do it with the computer turned off and they have the nerve to charge extra ($25?) for telephone support. ... Read more

Outperforms it's price tag
I've been using EditDV 2.0 for over a year.I've had the CineStream 1.0 (EditDV 3.0) upgrade for over a month and so far, I'm very impressed!My four favorite things that have been added in version 3 (CineStream) are Compositions, Large Picture Import, Improved Pan & Scan Options and Smart Update. (see also, my review on EditDV 2.0, Amazon.com)

Compositions are essentially multiple video projects within a single project.This helps to keep all of your video and files for a single project in one location, but experiment with different versions of your program.I've also used this feature to compose complex montages for the opening of a DVD or Wedding Video, etc.Each composition appears in your Video Bin as a single video clip.So to create a segue from your opening sequence into your main movie, simply create the montage, then create the main program and slap the two together later.This helps me when I'm in one of those not-so-creative moods.I can skip past working on the creative parts of the program and just do some simple cuts-only editing later on in the show.Tomorrow when I come back and feel more creative I can work on the beginning sequence, as a separate composition, and when I'm finished I can simply slap the two together (in a third composition, that I name "Final Program").I don't think there is a limit to the number of compositions you can create and mix and match.A true experimenter's paradise!

Large Picture Import (LPI) is something Adobe Premiere has had for a long time, but it is new to CineStream (EditDV 3.0).LPI allows you to bypass the import dialog box completely, when importing JPG and other supported formats.The import dialog converts your image to 720x480 image and creates a movie (.mov) file on your hard drive.While this has it's place, I find myself, more often than not, needing to zoom in on a picture or scan across the faces of a large family photo (like you see on the evening news).With LPI I can do this.LPI lets me import a photo or graphic that I've scanned in at, say, 2000x1000.Now I have a higher quality image to work with.Of course one can only fit 720x480 on a standard TV screen at any given time, so I can use the Pan and Scan and Cropping tools to Zoom in on a selected portion of the image, say a baby, and then zoom out to the mother holding the baby in her arms.This requires more rendering time (and so does Adobe Premiere), but the results are VERY professional and you will amaze your audience with your graceful images in motion.(Of course you can still use the old import dialog box as well).

Also the Pan and Scan and Crop filters have been updated to include many predefined screen formats including Cinema "scope" (2.35:1), 16x9 (1.85:1), standard TV (4:3) and many other popular sizes.This is nice because with the lowering cost of DVD-R drives ($1,000) and DVD-R media ($10), I'm starting to put most of my projects on DVD, if for no other reason than for mastering.DVD-R drives do not support CSS encryption, yet, so DVD is perfect for mastering and making VHS copies right in your home or small studio!With the right DVD creation software I can even create Anamorphic video presentations using the Cropping and Pan/Scan filters found in CineStream (EditDV 3.0).That way my DVD will play correctly on standard TVs now, and will instantly convert to the correct size on newer Widescreen TVs.Your customers (or just your family and friends) will love you for it later (when they finally catch the vision of HDTV and/or Widescreen TV).For best results with anamorphic video, use an anamorphic lens made for your camera.

And finally the new Smart Update feature.If you've never worked with EditDV 2.0, then you may not quite understand my gratitude for this new feature.In 2.0 when you rendered your program, you create a program track and "froze" the program up to that point.If you made changes to any section that was already rendered, you had to cut that section of the program track out of the "frozen" area.Doing this would tell your program that you had made some changes in this section and the next time you rendered you would want that section updated.This was not only time consuming, but could also get confusing and messy.It was a small price to pay for such a powerful little editor in most other respects.However, the new Smart update feature KNOWS when you've made a change to ANY part of your program.CineStream (EditDV 3.0) will actually indicate a yellow line on the section of program "frozen" track that has been updated.Next time you render, CineStream will find all the yellow lines, cut out the old and render the new in it's place!Wow!Okay, so I might sound like I'm overstating a very small feature found in most editors.But the addition of this feature alone, is such a time-saver and improvement over the already excellent editing package that I would have purchased the upgrade if it was the only new feature (but I also wanted LPI).

So, without reading the new manual, that's what I can tell you is awesome about the new CineStream (EditDV 3.0).There is one minor error I get when exiting the program, but as long as I've saved my work BEFORE exiting, I'm okay.I'm not sure what the error is all about, but I'm sure Media100 is aware of it and will have a patch available soon. ...
