Adobe Releases Spring Video Updates Share This on LinkedIn   Share This on Google   Tweet This   Forward This

21 June 2016

The updates Adobe demonstrated as the National Association of Broadcasters Show in April are now available for download, the company announced today. In a separate announcement, the company discussed updates to its Creative Cloud Photography Program.

In a briefing, Adobe painted a portrait of the video landscape.

On the creation side, Bill Roberts said, there are huge amounts of video being viewed today using a lot of new technology, including 4K, Ultra HDR and Virtual Reality. On the consumption side, multiscreen is here to stay as video is viewed on the desktop, mobile devices and streamed to TV interfaces. Monetization has evolved too, beyond cable to Internet access.

All that complexity, Roberts continued, is an opportunity. And Adobe is celebrating that opportunity this year with the tag line, "Immerse yourself in creativity."

WHAT'S NEW

A brief list of new features in each of the pro video apps follows:

Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Work natively with high-resolution formats up to 8K or with a new workflow that creates lightweight proxies at ingest. Start editing immediately -- even while importing -- and switch between native and proxy formats freely when using multiple devices via CreativeSync. With new support for Apple Metal and H264 hardware decoding you get maximum performance.

HSL Secondary Screenshots. Here the jacket has been isolated.

Precisely isolate and adjust specific colors using HSL secondaries. Experience finer grading control with new support for control surfaces and when viewing more readable scopes. A single click will help you set the white balance of your frame or apply a beautiful new SpeedLook.

Experience new keyboard shortcuts to add, adjust and navigate keyframes and zoom in and out of the timeline to view individual frames. A Range selecting feature lets you scroll the timeline to select additional clips outside your current view while a Remove Effects command lets you choose to remove a specific effect.

VR video mode enables you to work with imported stitched equi-rectangular video to show field-of-view so you know what your viewer is seeing when looking in a given direction. Premiere Pro export will properly flag the file so VR-capable video players, such as YouTube, will automatically recognize it.

Get new support for creating and editing open captions including font, color, size and text positioning. Expanded titling support now includes more languages and in their native alphabets, including Arabic and Hebrew territories.

Adobe After Effects CC

Work faster with a new video and audio preview engine that delivers superior playback of cached frames. Get immediate feedback when working on compositions with overall efficiency improvements that make you feel like After Effects is keeping up with your creativity. GPU-accelerated effects for Gaussian Blur and the Lumetri Color effect render your creative choices faster. Accelerated image sequence import allows you to bring in new content over a local network or shared storage up to 10 times faster.

GPU Effects. GPU-accelerated effects render faster.

New export options for moving projects from After Effects to Maxon Cinema 4D offer a more flexible and more efficient 3D pipeline, including the ability to save animated text and shape layers directly into the Cinema 4D file format.

In Character Animator, experience a more simplified puppet creation process. Tag puppet layers and record multiple takes of a character's movement. Enable your puppet to respond to motion and trigger animation accordingly. New puppet attachments control how each child moves with its parent. Export your animations faster via Dynamic Link to Adobe Media Encoder.

Triggers. Track puppet to your face while you use the mouse and keyboard to select alternative states.

Adobe Audition CC

The Essential Sound panel enables novices to mix their audio content with professional results in a single panel. Modeled after the Lumetri Color panel in Premiere Pro, the Essential Sound panel provides simple controls to unify volume levels, repair sound, improve clarity and help your video projects sound like they were mixed by an audio engineer.

Export. Send finished audio in any format directly with Adobe Media Encoder, skipping Premiere.

Adjustments applied can be saved as presets for re-use and are reflected in the full Audition toolset, allowing experienced users to access at any time for additional audio refinements. Export video projects with finished audio directly with Adobe Media Encoder, saving you the trip to Premiere Pro first.

Adobe Media Encoder CC

Save time by ingesting and transcoding directly from within Premiere Pro while Adobe Media Encoder works in the background. Or go straight to Adobe Media Encoder for complete ingest, transcode and proxy generation. Navigate with a new media browser and export with the new Publish to Twitter feature.

PRICE, AVAILABILITY

The Adobe pro video applications are available with an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. You can join for free and get 30-day trials of any of the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop applications. Paid membership offers ongoing access to all of the Adobe creative desktop applications, including new features as they become available, plus online services for file sharing, publishing and more.
