Adobe Video tools: Fall CC 2014 preview [updated]

PVC by Rick Young

rounding up blogs and video

At IBC 2014, Adobe is previewing the latest features coming to Creative Cloud pro video apps (blog). Features are a bit light this time, except for some important new ones in Premiere, but these are updates not new version releases. Hopefully there are few kinks in any UI changes amid the high-DPI functionality upgrades.

Adobe will also host their MAX conference, Oct. 4-8 in Los Angeles, to share even more innovations coming to Creative Cloud across desktop, mobile, services, and community.

Below are the main feature updates (more under the hood and with partners), pulled from a pretty PDF outlining the changes, with links to Adobe and other blogs.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC

• Search Bins lets you build new bins automatically, based on metadata searches.
• Advanced Timeline Search
• Improvements for Multiple Project Workflows - multiple Media Browser panels can be open simultaneously, allowing fast browsing and import of other Premiere Pro and After Effects projects for easy access to their media and sequences.
• A new Source Monitor Timeline View allows editors to preview sequences from other projects, getting direct access to their components to quickly bring into the current active project.
• Archive, convert, or move a project with Consolidate and Transcode.
• Render and Replace enables quick timeline renders of clips and dynamically linked After Effects composition.
• Full encode/decode support for the GoPro CineForm codec offers users a cross-platform intermediate codec, with full support for alpha and large frame sizes of 4K and beyond.
• Installing free decoder or GoPro Studio gives users QT Player 7 and system decode (restart may be necessary; VLC doesn't work).
• GPU with native support for 4K, 5K, 6K and higher content, now including debayering Phantom Cine and Canon RAW, as well as RED and Cinema DNG footage. Support for the AJA RAW format.
• Masking and Tracking improvements, performance and polygon pen and Bezier adjustments with feathering and expansion.
