Knights of the Editing Table has updated Grave Robber with the ability to Unmerge!!!

I already think Excalibur is the single most must have plug in for efficiency in Premiere Pro. It is like having Launchbar for Mac, once you use it you will feel any system is broken without it.

And Grave Robber is another must have with it’s ability to un-nest nested or multicam sequences, but now it can un-merge clips and preserve all keyframes and effects! Why couldn’t adobe do this years ago? I mean seriously merge has been broken since day one, if someone else can make an unmerge, why can’t Adobe?

Pay the $15 and then check out Excalibur, you won’t be sorry!

Adobe has lost it’s Pantone Swatches, and you can pay to get Pantone, but the functionality is not the same

Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and In Design have all lost their Pantone Swatches, and you can pay $15 for a Premium Service, which is supposed to restore some Pantone Functionality, but it is not the same and doesn’t restore the old swatches.

You can now install the Pantone Connect plug in and use a free account, but functionality is not as good.

Obviously this is saving Adobe money, but with the old Pantone swatches becoming unusable even with the paid subscription this is not a great solution.

Erik K Swanson on Title Safe Still Matters: Especially for Online Video

I have to admit I have always respected Title Safe, and hated when After Effects switched from 80% for Title Safe and 90% for Action Safe to 90% for Title Safe and 93% for action safe. I switched back to the original safer settings and this article is why you should to.

It is by Erik K Swanson, and well worth checking out.

Save as Popup Window Closes with right arrow in newest Adobe Apps on Mac OS Ventura

This was driving me buggy, I thought it was just Ventura, or maybe Default Folder, but it seems to affect just Adobe Apps right now. Went to Adobe Support Community to report it and luckily someone already did.

Thanks for reporting this problem. We are aware of this issue and currently investigating a fix. It is unfortunately affecting After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Media Encoder, so all three will need an update to fix this issue. Any fix will become available in the Beta builds, and then the next public release.

You can currently use the mouse to get around this, but it is fiddly, so lets hope they fix it fast.
