Adobe Systems Announces Plans for Windows95/NT Version of Adobe After
Effects

NAB, Las Vegas, (April 15, 1996) (Nasdaq:ADBE) -- Adobe Systems
Incorporated today announced plans to deliver Adobe After Effects, the
award-winning compositing, animation and special effects software for
film, broadcast video and multimedia production, on the Windows operating
system. After Effects 3.1 for Windows will be a 32-bit application that
runs on Intel-based Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51 or higher.
The product is expected to be available later this year. Adobe will be
demonstrating Adobe After Effects for Macintosh, a key component of its
core suite of professional, integrated post-production tools, this week
here at the National Association of Broad-casters (NAB) show, booth
#M3842, the Sands Hotel.

Adobe After Effects 3.1 for Windows will have the same feature set and
functionality as Adobe After Effects 3.1 for Macintosh and Power
Macintosh, including tight integration with other best-of-breed Adobe
applications such as Adobe Photoshop 3.0, the leading image-editing
software. Using After Effects with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, the
leading illustration and design program, and Adobe Premiere, the
industry-leading, non-linear desktop editing application, forms the core
of a powerful, professional, integrated post-production product suite for
creating and delivering all levels of outputQuickTime and Video for
Windows movies on CD-ROM and the Web, to D1 broadcast-quality video and
film resolution.

"Adobe is committed to providing cross-platform solutions of its
cutting-edge software applications," said Bryan Lamkin, Adobe's director
of graphics products. "We are delighted to be able to bring the power of
After Effects to a new class of video professionals running Windows, and
to give them access to world-class post-production software that will
increase productivity and enhance creativity."

"Adobe After Effects and Intergraph's StudioZ CGI/Video Authoring
Workstation will be a powerful combination for creating elaborate special
effects, including compositing and smooth animations,, and then producing
D1 serial digital video -- all for the first time on the open-architecture
Pentium Pro/Windows NT platform," said Jeff Edson, vice president, Digital
Media Division, Intergraph Com-puter Systems, Huntsville, Alabama. "With
this high-level of performance, and at affordable price points, a broader
range of animators and video content creators will have creative
capability that was once only possible in the costly and proprietary
RISC/UNIX realm."
