In the UK Adobe are about to begin their latest Creative Tour, showcasing the delights of their software range in the Creative Suite bundles. These tours are designed at industry professionals and hobbyists alike and tour round several major UK cities and locations.

Despite the recent Serious Magic aquisition and the incorporation of Ultra, Visual Communicator, Ovation and OnLocation (aka DVRack) we can find no mention of them being showcased on this next tour.  

This could be because the products haven't matured enough inside the Adobe camp and they want to incorporate them through a later release - but the powerful vector keying and presentational tools from the SeriousMagic stable are surely a fantastic opportunity for Adobe which they seem to be minimising upon, rather than maximising.

Here's what it says on their website:

"Join us as we demonstrate the all new Creative Suite 3 Production Premium - now for Mac and Windows! Whether you're a seasoned video pro or just getting to grips with producing video for the web, this session will help you produce content better, faster and more creatively
