Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro, formerly known as Adobe Premiere, is a real-time, timeline based video editing software application. It is part of the Adobe Creative Suite, a suite of graphic design, video editing, and web development applications made by Adobe Systems. Premiere Pro has many hardware and software partners, and is included as an OEM package with high-end video editing cards, such as the Matrox RT.X2.
Adobe InDesign
Launched as a direct competitor to QuarkXPress, InDesign initially had difficulty converting users. In 2002, it was the first desktop publishing software to release a Mac OS X-native version. Also, InDesign CS and InDesign CS2 were bundled with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat in the Creative Suite. InDesign can export documents in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF), offering multilingual support that Quark users can get only by buying a much more expensive "Passport" version. InDesign was the first major DTP application to support Unicode for text processing, advanced typography of OpenType fonts, advanced transparency features, layout styles, optical margin alignment, and cross-platform scripting using JavaScript.

Adobe Fireworks
Adobe Fireworks, known as FW for short, is a bitmap and vector graphics editor. It was originally developed by Macromedia, which Adobe acquired in 2005, and aimed at web designers (with features such as: slices, the ability to add hotspots etc.). It is designed to integrate easily with other former Macromedia products, such as the popular Adobe Dreamweaver and Adobe Flash. It is available as a stand-alone product or bundled with CS3. Version 8 was also bundled with Macromedia Studio 8.
Adobe After Effects
After Effects uses a system of layers organized on a timeline to create composites from still images and motion footage, such as video files. Properties such as position and opacity can be controlled independently for each layer, and each layer can have effects applied. After Effects is often described as the "Photoshop of video", because its flexibility allows compositors to alter video in any way they see fit, as Photoshop does for images.

Audition will still be available for audio professionals, and will continue to be developed. Due to Intel-specific code, Adobe has stated that the Mac OS X version will only be available for machines using Intel processors.
