VashiVisuals

Adobe just revealed some of the newest features in the upcoming Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1 Update). They include many improvements to both the GUI and organizational options plus severe boosting of power under the hood. I?ve been lucky enough to have used this release on a couple professional jobs already and wanted to share some project screen grabs showing these updates in action!

This music video for The Midnight Moan was directed by Laura Merians. It was shot on RED Epic at 5K and Canon 5Dmkiii in Magic Lantern RAW.
I will be able to share more information after I finish editing the music video?but here are some of my favorite updates that helped me edit quicker, smarter and more efficiently.

1. Open multiple projects without importing all the assets
2. Create Search Bins with metadata to better organize assets
3. Cineform, Phantom CINE, Canon RAW, AJA RAW, 4/5/6K+ native support
4. GPU boost for unleashing of more codecs in real-time playback
5. Multiple colors for markers in timeline and source monitor. Movable markers
6. Feathered masks in Program monitor with on screen GUI for all effects
7. Larger text size in the Project Panel. Regular, Med, Large and Largest

Here?s a closer look at my project so you can examine how I set up my custom dual monitor layout. read more...
