RedShark has a sponsored look at the new ColourLab 2.0 Public Beta

Simon Wyndham at Redshark has a sponsored look at the the new ColourLab 2.0 Public Beta.

I have to admit the AI powers of ColourLab 2.0 look very impressive, and I love that they have added Adobe Premiere and Apple Final Cut Pro integration instead of just DaVinci Integration.

Colourlab is a subscription for creator which is $129 a year for Premiere and Final Cut, $299 a year for Pro which includes DaVinci or $599 for a permanent license, which is by far the best deal.

Adobe has redesigned the Premiere Pro workplace switcher again and it is better than their last version

Francis-Crossman an adobe employee has posted a discussion for the Premiere Pro Beta on the Workspace Switcher Improvements in the header bar.

It is certainly an improvement to their upgrade which was going to hide workspaces behind multiple clicks, while this allows for single click to your favorite workspaces.

This new version is not the default which just shows the active worksapce, but if you click and select show workspace.

You can now scroll through workspaces or edit workspaces to edit which ones show.

Certainly an improvement from hiding workspaces completely, I still am not sure about the new header bar, which seems to make import and export more important than the meat of editing itself, butt this is at least an improvement.

ProVideoCoalition reports that Adobe Premiere Pro used on 61% of film at Sundance Film Festival

Jose Anutunes wrote this article with the impressive fact that 61% of the films at the Sundance Film Festival were cut on Adobe Premiere Pro.

The whole Sundance Film Festival could be viewed online this year, and it is more impressive that so many films were cut in Premiere. And 78% of the films used Adobe Creative Cloud tools, especially After Effects and Photoshop.

There was certainly a time when films would only be cut in AVID, but with Productions it is so much easier to have a large project, and even multiple users.

Honestly I love the online thing, having been to Sundance Before, I was blown away by how crappy some of the venues were, and just being able to see the films online really does expand who can see the films.

Cut/Daily Premiere Pro Text Master Styles Tip

Cut/Daily has post number 196, Premiere Pro Text [Master} Styles Tip, which you will need to sign up for a free account to read.

Styles are certainly a quick way to get font styles in Premiere, so you can easily make changes, and have matching styles throughout. Now Adobe needs to implement the ability to batch change styles, like you can now see all the text in the text panel for spell check.

Premiere Pro February 2022 Release (version 22.2)

Adobe has released Premiere Pro February 2022 (Version 22.2).

Its new features include on-device Text to Speach which will be 3x faster on M1 and Intel Core i9 and 2x faster on other hardware, Remix powered by Adobe Sensei to intelligently remix music to match you video, faster 420 HEVC exports on Windows with NVIDIA GPU’s, more GPU Accelerated effects, support the the M1 MacBook Pro Notch and support for the Canon EOS RS C Camera.

You can read detailed info on each feature here.

Still in beta are the new Auto Tone feature in Lumetri Color, and improvements to the import mode, including project naming in the title bar.

I have been looking forward to REMIX, and am glad the new Import mode isn’t there yet, as I have not been a fan of it in the beta, I actually find it it a huge step backwards in usability. They seem to think hitting more buttons to do the same thing is better, and it just isn’t.
