Adobe has updated Premiere Pro to June 2022 (Version 22.5)

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.

PVC on Frame.io’s new partnerships, apps and updates

The Pro Video Coalition has report on the new announcements from Frame.io announced last month at NAB. I am glad to have a creative cloud Frame.io account, and have been using Frame allot at work. I still think the direct from camera is more for features or tv than the commercials I work on, but it is very cool. IFrame.io’s work from home features with built in proxy generation needs better Adobe integration. It doesn’t currently work with Adobe’s proxy feature, so files must be manually relinked (and Adobe’s proxy workflow won’t work with only proxys), and if you use low rez proxies for size moves and the like don’t scale, everything would need to be redone manually. Let’s hope Adobe works on this with Frame . And I hate H264, and h264 proxies. ProRes Proxys are so much better (i know they take up more space, but they are do much better), timelines play back great with any ProRes and even with M1 ProRes processors.
