I just wish they would fix some of the bugs of 2015.3 quickly, as I have heard nothing but issues from people.
Check out an overview of the new features by Victoria Nece at the Adobe Creative Cloud Blog.
As for new features, the big one is Team Projects. A hosted service allowing collaboration between Premiere Pro, After Effects and Prelude. This could be huge if it works well. I like how media mapping can be different for each user. Finally something to fight AVID in large multi-user environments!
Premiere Pro and Media Encoder are next. Bronwyn Lewis has written about it at the Adobe Creative Cloud blog.
In addition to team projects, it now has enhanced Captions and Subtitle support.
Enhancements to the Lumetri Color Tool Sets, which rocks, though unfortunately likely also spells the death of the separate and more powerful Speed Grade Application which once again is not getting an update here.
There is even more expanded VR support.
And destination publishing (something I will likely not be using).
And something I likely will be using enhanced Live Text Templates from After Effects! As well as visual Keyboard Shortcut mapping tool like AVID has always had.
It also will work better with Apple Metal, and have faster Dynamic Linking, And Media Encoder will stitch together multiple clips to ease file management.
After Effects has new features gone over by Victoria Nece at the Adobe Creative Cloud.
It has the afore mentioned Team Projects, a new 3D rendering allowing bent planes and extruded 3D text and shapes within After Effects using Cinema 4D’s standard renderer!
It has faster performance with GPU’s and more GPU accelerated effects. The aforementioned Improved Live Text Templates, with TypeKit Font Sync.
And more Powerful Dynamic Linking.
And when creating projects from Templates settings like color management and folder structure can be passed on!
