I would have posted on the latest features of Premiere Pro 23.4 earlier, but I have not been able to use it yet. I used all the features in the beta, but 23.4 does not function for me. It is completely unresponsive, which way too much beach ball being seen.
Adobe’s what’s new page shows the big new features.
Text Based Editing, is such a huge addition. You could already transcribe sequences, but I still think it has one huge problem. And that is if you cut from a sequence, it cuts as subclips instead of original clips, and there should be an easy switch for this instead of it just doing subclips, as with multiple audio tracks, getting mixed down to stereo is just not OK.
Still this is a huge feature, and a huge plus of Premiere over AVID.
Background Auto Save is something that should have been in the prgoram for years, and you can save as close as 1 minute. HELL YES! WHY HAVEN’T WE HAD THIS FOREVER!
Dashboard for Background Processes is nice to see.
Smoother Mouse scrolling movement is actually quite nice as I have seen in the beta. I hope it also helps with the timelines, as I have recently found I often get timelines dragged and get hamburger timelines when I am just trying to click another timeline. I hope this is fixed with the added responsiveness.
New Format Support with Sony Venice 2 Version 2.0 and iPhone Cinematic Clips. There is not enough info on this, but does this allow refocusing of Apple iPhone Cinematic Clips? I will to try this out and see.
AND IN THE BETA.
SRT Support means it can now stream video to a client Viewer.
THIS COULD BE HUGE! OMG if I can stream straight out of premiere to a client, finally since this was in original Final Cut Pro 7, though not with built in security.
This could allow work at home so much more easily for all editors. This is amazing.
Color Manager .is something that also is huge and we have needed this for ages. DaVinci has such better color control. I just hope that the fucking Alexa AMIRA plug in is not automatically applied anymore, I want to control my color.
This could be huge, but will have to see how it works before I comment further on it.
Invite to Collaborate on Team Projects.
Restore Projects through Recovery Mode.
This could be a great thing, but I have to see how it works.
