So I woke up way too early today because the air conditioner is not working too well, and I was too hot to keep sleeping and low and behold Adobe has updated Premiere Pro to Version 15.4!
This update brings the amazing Speech to Text out of Beta and into the normal version and out of the Beta program which I have been running for a bit. This quickly became my favorite feature when cutting testimonials, and I am so happy that i is available to all. It also includes new Transcript Editing Tools and the ability to Generate Captions Automatically.
And adds native support for Apple M1 Computers which was previously only available in the beta.
Other new features of Note:
New Titling and Caption Styling Tools.
You can now upgrade Legacy Titles to Essential Graphics. ARE YOU LISTENING AVID?
Color improvements with Tetahedral LUT interpolation. And the beta now includes a colorized vectorscope for more detail in grading.
The Speed of Saving of Team Projects has improved thanks to a new file structure. And in the Public Beta is progressive project loading to work faster, and improved media relinking.
You can now also label colors and clip names and have the option of limiting changes to the current sequence or applying changes to your source media.
On Windows you get automatic Audio Device Switching.
And CUDA and OpenCL have been discontinued completely in favor of Metal on the Mac.
Looking forward to running it through it’s paces, this is huge news.
