LastPass is first out of the gate with LastPass for iOS 8 with Browser Plug in Support! AWESOME!
And 1Password for iOS is currently FREE, and we know they will also have iOS 8 Plug In Support soon.
Leaving only SplashID with only an iOS 8 iOS app in the works, but no mention of plug in support.
So far LastPass has taken the lead by releasing the morning before iOS 8. Still think I may try out 1Password and see how well it takes my SplashID data though.
SplashID has announced that Version 8 is coming soon, according to their blog.
And they list the new features:
– Brand new optimized apps for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and the web
– Updated UI enabling more functionality on a single screen
– Advanced list view
– Automatic backup feature
– New full featured browser plug-ins for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox
– Security dashboard featuring alerts and one step fixes for outdated passwords, weak passwords, and duplicated passwords
No mention is made of iOS 8 Plug In. And if that is the case, both LastPass and 1Password will be having that as a feature, and if that is the case it looks like I might be changing password managers!
Honestly I am kind of excited about 1Password not being cloud based at all, so that might just be what I move to, because I would like to have most of my data off the cloud, but I do use LastPass a lot, so I might move to 1Password and LastPass instead of SplashID and LastPass as I currently use. I like the idea of having one completely offline, that syncs via the computer to my iOS devices. And if 1Password works well maybe I will consider giving up on LastPass altogether, though I do love it’s security checks.
Scott Simmons at the Pro Video Coalition has the story. 4K, resolution independence, a new compression format DNxHR, LUTs as timeline effects, and the ability export projects as DPX Also coming soon is Background Rendering, Favorite Bins and Search Across Bins for Markers.
The funny part being you need a third party video card to do 2K or 4K, since no AVID hardware can do that (and honestly they should move software only and work more with AJA, BlackMagic and Matrox)
And it is a good thing too. With Adobe offering up Updates in their Creative Cloud very quickly, and it is great to see AVID finally getting on that bandwagon, which they should since they are now subscription based as well.
RedShark has an article on all of BlackMagic Designs exciting new announcements from IBC 2014.
My personal favorites are:
DaVinci Resolve 11.1 is out now.
And BlackMagic has purchased Eyeon Software the maker of Fusion the high end digital compositing, visual effects and Motion Graphics Software! Wow, and lets hope they do to it exactly what they have been doing with Resolve, make it better, and cheaper than ever! Let’s hope they eventually have a free version with full Resolve back and forth for an amazing new free or affordable compositing program! And lets hope for a Mac version very soon!
Fusion looks insane. Node based, but their Sizzle Reel stills looks very very complicated!
It supposedly already supports CUDA for acceleration so it sounds like a great fit with Resolve.
Basically saying it is a baby EOS 1D X without 4K capabilities, but with the ability to record in MOV or MP4 and 3 compression settings, either IBP, ALL-I or Light IPB.
Very exciting for video, and can’t wait to see what Magic Lantern can do with it.
Canon Rumors has the story on this impressive new camera.
20.2 Megapixel APS-C Camera with up to 16000 ISO with CF and SD, and USB 3 as well as GPS.
Scott Simmons has a great in depth article on the new features announced in the upcoming Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 Update. He also links to Dave Hemley’s 28 minute discussion on the new features, which I have included.
Some of my thoughts on features I had missed.
•I didn’t see the changeable Font Size for bins, but it makes a lot of sense, especially for HiDPI monitors.
•And being able to open Sequences from other projects without importing them is pretty huge as well.
•Bezier in tracking is a much needed addition.
Very exciting. Honestly they can’t get this out fast enough!
Apple has announced the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the bigger and biggest versions and with more storage coming out September 19th (with iOS 8 on September 18th), moving the iPhone 5S to the low end, and the iPhone 5C 8 GB for Free! Love the 1080 diplay on the big one, but think it is going to be way too big. Apple Pay sounds great, but I won’t have a new iPhone for a while, so I am excited it works with the Apple Watch.
And even more exciting is the Apple Watch. As a Pebble and FitBit user I am very excited. It has a digital crown to help navigate without covering the display. As well as the inductive charging to leave this waterproof (my biggest FitBit complaint). And I love the changeable watch bands! And 2 Watch sizes and 3 types, the Watch in Stainless, The Sport in stronger aluminum or the Watch Edition in gold for the high end. And having siri on watch is pretty cool.
I am most excited for fitness and workout apps. Actually the workout seems more exciting, as it does your specific workouts, vs just overall daily activity. The integration with healthkit will be great though, especially if it also works with fitbit or other health trackers, so you can see your friends on other devices (as I love seeing how my mom does on fitbit, which is usually much better than me). And having the heartbeat monitor is also very exciting.
And Apple TV control is very cool, since it will be on your wrist already.
Expensive though at $349 to start in early 2015.

Too bad apple screwed up the stream so much! Couldn’t watch it on my Apple TV, and it started with Chinese translation overlayed, and it keeps stopping and starting! Bad job Apple.
Adobe has announced Adobe After Effects CC 2014.1 otherwise known as version 13.1.
• Of course it has HiDPI support with an enhanced User interface!
• Copy with Relative Property Links
•Color management for Dynamic Link to fix color shifts, WOOHOO
•Maxon Cineware version 2.0 and Maxon Cinema 4D Lite R16 (for compatibility, though likely none of the new features of the pay version) with a collect files feature
•GoPro support
Sounds exciting, lets hope they get it in our hands quick!
Adobe has announced Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014.1
Yes it has HiDPI support and a refined user interface.
It has Destination Publishing, so you can have it deliver as it encodes.
Watch folders for encoding.
Better Match source support, and rewrap for MXF.
Multiplexing during encoding, and GoPro Support.
Sounds great!
