The Alexa 35 looks amazing and it looks like Alexa has done it again, though way out of my price range.

Here are some links and videos I checked out about it.

Potato Jet has a video Review.

Brian Hallett at ProVideoCoalition has a look at it.

As does Yaroslave Altunin at No film School.

I edit a lot of spots shot with Arri, so hopefully will run into some footage from one of these soon.

I just wish that Adobe would allow us to not have the damned AMIRA Lut automatically applied, especially since it doesn’t do this for other cameras. On a pro editing system I want to control it,

Again not in the release notes, but as reported at Adobe User Voice, Adobe gas fixed the ability to chose a name by clicking on a file, though it isn’t thhe same on windows as the post says.

I love that adobe is fixing this stuff, but wish it was in the release notes.

This used to be a feature, but then was removed for some unknown reason. Luckily I followed this post at user voice, as the new features list doesn’t list this as being a new feature.

This has troublesome if you get high speed footage not in the format you want, or if you want to do proxies with footage that is higher than 60FPS.

For new features it lists Notification on Encoding or Queue Completion, Computer Shutdown on Queue Encoding Finish and Support for Red V-Raptor camera.

Adobe has updated Premiere Pro to June 2022 (version 22.5).

It’s new features are:

A new Essentials Workspace with everything at your fingertips.

A new Vertical Video Workspace.

Proxy Workflow Improvements with visual badges in timeline and project panel to make it clear if you are vieweing proxies, and you can now add watermarks on your proxys as you make them, and even better the default proxy setting is no ProRES instead of H.264.

Gradients for Strokes and Shadows in Essential Graphics.

Improved H264/HEVC encoding on Apple M1 Systems.

Support for Red V-Raptor Cameras.

And more GPu-Accelerated Effects.

For me the Proxy workflow improvements are the best thing here, though the gradients is not a bad thing. New workspaces are great, but I always build my own.
