Adobe Premiere Pro is adding an Adobe Sensei Speech to Text Auto Transcription feature, and I wish I was beta testing it right now

 

Javier Mercedes has this video on a new feature that Adobe is beta testing right now, automatic Speech to Text using Adobe Sensei.

Unfortunately it isn’t just in the Premiere Pro beta, you have to request access, because I could use it right now. 

This feature would be mind-blowingly amazing for cutting testimonials, which as a commercial/direct response editor I could use almost every day.

The video shows just how impressive this feature is.

It makes me wonder if they will expand on the feature to allow editing via text, or if the jumping to the place in the sequence via the text will be the extent of it.

I also would like to see the options for exporting the text, as I would love some way to automatically export these as documents that could be automatically uploading to producers.

And here is the Adobe page for the new feature. You can also sign up for the feature there.

Adobe introduced Creative Cloud Public Beta

So Adobe is releasing Public Beta from within creative cloud.

If you look in your creative cloud application you will see the Beta Apps on the left, which I have highlighted with red. Currently it is for the Video Suite, though they will add all apps eventually. The apps use the same plug ins as the current version.

And when you open the app you get 2 new buttons.

The will be blue every time their are new features and you can read about them.

And the second lets you report bugs and go the forum for the beta.

Already there have been almost daily updates.

And they fixed the issue I was having with After Effects 2020 and Alexa footage, though I wish you could remove the damn forced AMIRA LUT entirely from the workflow.

Maximum PC looks at Adobe Lightroom 5 Beta

Maximum PC takes a look at the newly released Photoshop Lightroom 5.0 Beta. And goes through new features, like the improved healing brush, the upright tool, the radial gradient tool, and a few others.

I will download if and when I have some time (could be unlikely with a 12 hour a day job coming up soon) as I find Lightroom the best tool to deal with Camera RAW (and yes I have tried Aperature and other than it’s interoperability with iPhoto it is just not as good).

Adobe has released Photoshop CS6 Beta

Adobe Labs has released Adobe Photoshop CS6 Beta. Download it here. You can read all about it here.
You can check out Russell Brown’s 6 Favorite Features at Youtube. Here are Julianne Kost’s 6 Favorite Features, and Terry White’s 6 Favorite Features.

Interesting that it has serious video features now, though I would rather just have more feature integration in After Effects.

This will obviously be down once CS6 comes out, which is likely soon, and will available within the cloud before too long.
