The What’s new Page, shows the new features. But I was waiting for 23.4 for the fix for the export bug (spinning beachball on export page on every version past 23.1), but then it was totally bugged and would link to the first frame of a file instead of the inpoint. I am actually amazed they didn’t pull it in favor of 23.3 (even if you couldn’t export from that).
Metadata & Timecode Burn-In Effect is a nice update, though one I won’t use everyday.
Guidance for installing BRAW Plugin, seems superfluous. I already use the 3rd party BRAW Studio V3 from Autokroma, so i don’t want it to point me to the blackmagic version.
Improved timeline scrubbing and playback is always welcome, though let’s hope it also deals with pulling timeline tabs out of the timeline window when you are just trying to switch tabs.
Monitor your Team Projects save and sync status., sounds great, though I think they should add in a manual save function as I manual save so often to deal with issues, and have heard of people losing hours of work.
Chose Team Projects Auto Save Location, which should have always been there, but again you should be able to manually save as well.
AND FEATURES CURRENTLY IN THE BETA
Audio Auto-Tagging sounds good, though I never had a problem tagging myself, except when some clips were already tagged, and trying to select them all and it automatically not doing essential sound effect on the untagged clips, so maybe this helps with that.
SRT Support, or secure reliable transport to easily stream audio content to a ciwiing client on a local network or the internet if FUCKING HUGE! I currently use a Blackmagic Streamdeck to that, but to be able to do it right out of Premiere is a huge game changer for remote editors! And it has not been built into an editing program since Apple Final Cut Pro 7.0 (who knows how secure it was, but it sure worked).
Color Manager is also a big deal, as it finally lets you set input, working and output color spaces. Now if only I could get them to stop auto adding the fucking ALEXA AMIRA Tag, which drives me fucking nuts on a daily basis! Especially if you are conforming a bunch of different cameras, their should never be automatic clip color correction unless it is asked for!
Invite to Collaborate on Team Projects.
Restore projects through Recovery Mode. With background Auto Save could potentially be such an amazing thing for editor, to not lose their work, if it works at least.
Now lets hope I get access to it soon, been out for 3 days and I still can’t see it in my Creative Cloud App!
