Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection 

What’s New

The Mercury Playback Engine sets a new standard in high-performance editing with or without 

GPU acceleration in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.

In Adobe After Effects CS5, you can take advantage of dozens of subtle but important changes that 
streamline your workflow and enable you to create amazing motion graphics and blockbuster 
visual effects while delivering your work to the widest possible variety of screens. 

Now, you can rotoscope more easily than ever by quickly isolating foreground elements using the 
revolutionary new Roto Brush that works much like the Quick Select tool in Photoshop. Remove a 
foreground subject from footage with a complex background without painstaking frame-by-frame 
painting. Simply paint strokes inside the foreground object in one frame, and let After Effects 

determine where the margins of the object are located in each subsequent frame.

Use the Roto Brush to 

separate foreground 

elements from complex 

backgrounds in a 

fraction of the time it 

would take using 

traditional rotoscoping 

techniques. Teach the 

Roto Brush how to 

process one frame, and 

it automatically tracks 

the footage and applies 

the same criteria across 

multiple frames.

The Mercury Playback Engine is used on a multicore system with nine layers of 

DVCPROHD footage played back in real time, with color correction and other effects 
applied. All CPU cores are used equally, and the timeline plays back smoothly.

When you add GPU acceleration, performance gets even better. The same nine-layer 
timeline drops CPU usage down to 5–10%. Even with the complicated timeline in this 
project, more layers and effects could be stacked without affecting real-time playback.
