Adobe has released the May 2022 (Version 22.4) .
The one new feature is a separated Dimensions Preference, so you can use this checkbox and separate x & y positions in the timeline by default.
The April 2022 release (version 22.3) had many more features, including Frame.io integration, native silicon support, extended viewer, scene edit detection, binning indicators for 3D layers, coach marks, and constrained shapes.
Adobe has updated Premiere Pro to the May 2022 Release, and here is a quick overview of the new features.
Export GIFs with transparency.
Distribute objects in titles and graphics so they are equally distant from each other.
10x faster exports for 10-bit 4:2:0 HEVC on Mac OS for Intel and M1 systems.
Select HEVC from the Format drop-down under Export Settings to enable this option. Then under the Video tab, go to Encoding Settings. If the system supports hardware encoding, the Performance field is set to Hardware Encoding. Set the profile level to Main 10. Setting it to Software Encoding will disable hardware encoding, and Adobe Premiere Pro won’t use hardware to encode the media.
On Apple M1 systems, HEVC HLG 4:2:0 10-bit encoding still encodes via software.
10x faster exports for 10-bit 4:2:0 HEVC on AMD
To enable this option, select HEVC from the Format drop-down under Export Settings. Then under the Video tab, go to Encoding Settings. If the GPU card supports HW encoding, the Performance field will be set to Hardware Encoding. Set the profile level to Main 10. Setting it to Software Encoding will disable hardware encoding and Adobe Premiere Pro won’t use AMD hardware to encode the media.
Improved Quicktime screen recording playback
Smart rendering improvments
HDR Proxies
Nice, the HEVC speed icnreases sound amazing, though it is still a format that I don’t use much except for capture on my iPhone.
Enchanted Media posted links to 3 videos on making confetti in after effects with built in plug ins and Trapcode.
From VideoRevealed, this is a good watch.
I\ain Anderson of Pro Video Coalition on Apple Motion being every editors secret weapon.
It is an interesting article, and it is true it is such an inexpensive program, that everyone should use it. I have personally used it extensively while doing an edit job on Final Cut and found it essential for using Final Cut Pro with some features that are much easier to use than After Effects with more power, but others I thought far inferior, harder and with huge bugs. And I was not at all impressed by it’s Motion Blur which After Effects does so much better.
Much like Final Cut I find it i a powerful program but with huge caveats. And while I do have it, I don’t find it as useful as other similar programs.
65+ Free LUTs linked to by Logan Baker at Premium Beat.
Personally I don’t use LUTs much, I more do the basic correction and then reference images, but if you use them this is a worthwhile link.
Paste To Same Track is the new default, which is the behavior that I want 90% of the time. I love this because I place things in specific tracks, having a very organized timeline, so I usually wants things to just go where they were in a different place in the timeline.
And you can also Paste Insert, as well as Paste to Target Track and Paste Insert to Target Track which can also be added to keyboard shortcuts.
i just signed up for creative cloud’s frame.io from within Premiere. I didn’t know what level of service it is, but Frame had posted a page about it.
It allows:
So I can use it for any client that doesn’t have their own solution for review. Very cool!
They should offer a discount if you upgrade though.
Red Giant has updated Universe to version 6.
VFX Suite 3
Magic Bullet Suite 16.
And a new tool Real Lens Flares.
In past Red Giant has also released in depth videos showing off how to use the new features, but unfortunately it looks like they haven’t done that this year. Hopefully this isn’t how things will always be with the now Maxon owned company, bug I have the feeling it is. I guess will just have to play around.
The video for Real Lens Flares looks good, but will have to see if it is better than optical flares from Video Copilot.
Finally dark mode in the creative cloud app. Not the prettiest, but at least it isn’t white anymore.
Version 5.7.0.12.07 is the version.
I know it seems small, but with all my other windows dark, I really appreciate this.
Now if only the damn Facebook app on the ipad would allow dark mode!
