PVC on AVID at NAB 2026, on AVID opening up and adding Gemini

https://www.provideocoalition.com/nab-2026-avid-is-opening-up-and-gemini-might-help/ Hmm, I mean good for sure. I want AVID to start catching up. They were so slow to adopt Apple's new Architecture, and their program still feels like it was written in the dark ages. It is great that it is going to script able with great customization. And of course built in transcription is great. Of course I have never run into AVID in the wild on a system that was running the latest and greatest. Rental edit systems are usually really old and stable and with an ancient version of AVID that looks pretty similar to current AVID. Of course to run on modern computers it needs to be a newer version now so maybe those days have changed. I would love to see AVID take a page from Blackmagic and do some quick innovation and add the latest and greatest features before it is an afterthought. It is funny I just saw this article, way after NAB, and I hadn't even thought to think about AVID at NAB. I am a skilled AVID editor, but I just don't prefer it to either Premier or Resolve.

PVC articles on Premiere Pro Color Mode

https://www.provideocoalition.com/why-adobe-rebuilt-color-from-scratch/ https://www.provideocoalition.com/color-mode-vs-lumetri-whats-different-and-why-it-matters/ I still need to spend some time in Colorado mode and will certainly learn it, though these articles do seem to be much more from Adobe’s perspective than a true review of the differences. These are pretty pro color mode, and how amazing it is, and how much better it is than Lumetri. It actually makes me more reticent about it. I watched all Adobe’s videos and was most disturbed that you basically pick an overall look first then work on the rest instead of balancing your shots first. Seems like they are teaching the wrong method for any high end workflow, or anyone who wants to delve deeper into color correction in the future.

Adobe Premiere April 2026 (version 26.2)

the Premiere Beta new color feature has been getting all the news but the latest update has something I have wanted for ages! Here are the new features at Adobe, Show video and audio waveforms in the viewer! I have been requesting this since I saw it in DavInci and just fell in love with it! This will save so much time! A new set of effects from Film Impact! Wow that was fast! Apply Sharp or Smooth modes in Object selection . Navigate with a sequence index, a spreadsheet style view of your timeline! Relink Media after with smart search Global Audio Mute. Marker support in search. Content credentials in export.

PVC on Premiere’s Color Mode now in Beta

https://www.provideocoalition.com/burning-questions-about-adobe-premiere-betas-new-dedicated-color-mode/ I haven’t had a chance to play with this yet, but I watched all the videos from Adobe on this. It does look impressive in what it can do,as someone who is proficient at DaVinci and was proficient in Apple Color where Lumetri came from., the complete lack of standard Color controls does throw me off. And the huge to hue type controls instead of color wheels was never my thing, but I guess it will be here. I will play when I get an and I will be able to use it, but I am always weary of a totally new interface for something that everyone previously knew how to do, without having a manual mode with scopes and wheel and such doesn’t seem optimal, but then i guess I can just export to DaVinci if I don’t like it!
