Adobe also extended the one to many concept to audio, and now you can adjust the volume of multiple clips simultaneously. Again, select the clips, then right click and choose Audio Gain. Premiere opens the Audio Gain menu shown in Figure 7. Choose how you want to adjust gain, click OK and Premiere Pro adjusts the audio volume for all selected clips.

The final new CS4 feature that I'll discuss is the new Crash Reporter. Though the beta was generally stable, when it crashed, CS4 popped up the dialog shown in Figure 8. While my problems were seldom repeatable, I did send all reports to Adobe and hopefully they will lead to earlier problem detection and an overall more stable suite.
That's it. Overall, I think the major new features in CS4, particularly Dynamic Link from Premiere Pro to Encore, the greatly enhanced Adobe Media Encoder and AVCHD support make the upgrade decision a slam dunk. Not to mix metaphors, but all the features discussed this month are just icing on the cake.
