I find this interesting as I love the new fade controls in the timeline (I have been using the Beta as it has fixed the timeline issue with an M2 Ultra), though I have still found some issues with tagging short clips, that just refuse to be tagged as dialogue, which is annoying, because the new features are great, but just don’t always work.
I liked Barbie so much more than I thought I would, and the visuals and vfx were quite impressive, especially the transitions between worlds.

This is really so cool! I would love to see a version of this that can run locally on your computer. It isn’t magic, but this really is amazing. You can give some real depth to a still photo, which really gives done zing to your stills!
And the new rage is motion stills, so this is very cool. And this should allow something different than straight cutouts of layers.
I can’t wait until there is a version of this you can run on your own computer, just can’t trust a web site for production timelines. Lets hope this becomes a plugin, or is integrated into After Effects!
This is amazing!
I would love to play with one of these to see just how stable it is.

My BMPCC 6K Pro is awesome, but it does eat batteries, and I would love full frame depth of field, but I am not upgrading any time soon, especially with my EF lens collection.
Especially important for laptops or those with small main drives.
So I have posted about his one in the past because it really affects me. I hate having the monitors as separate spaces as it messed up just how I use the computer. Now it has been better with newer versions of Premiere and Mac, but is still there, and I do a lot of restarting Premiere to clear it up.
Luckily Adobe Employee Kyle Plumadore has an update:
Hi all – another update:
Apple has identified the source of the bug. I anticipate that it will be fixed in a future MacOS update. My understanding is that it’s a complex bug to fix, so it may take additional time to get fixed in the OS.
To facilitate a quicker improvement for users, Apple has also provided us with an application side code change which will workaround the bug. This change is available for testing now in the latest Premiere Pro Beta (24.2.0.34) dated 2023-12-01. I’ve verified it myself but if anyone else experiencing this bug wants to validate that this Beta version (or newer) also solves the problem on their end, that would be helpful. If we don’t find any negative side effects as a result of this workaround, it will be available in a future non-Beta version of Premiere Pro as well.
As I mentioned above, I also expect an eventual MacOS update to resolve this issue. This will be useful for those users who do not wish to update their versions of Premiere Pro.
I will provide another update when I have concrete Premiere Pro (non-beta), or MacOS version numbers which resolve the poor playback when “Displays have separate Spaces” is disabled.

So there is a workaround in the latest Beta, and at least Apple knows what is causing it, I bet they want to fix it before the M3 Ultra comes out.
So Apple Music in Sonoma has had a major change to playlists, and it literally removes features in favor of making your own ugly generic playlist covers, that literally no one wants. And it used to take 4 albums that were in the playlist and make that the cover, but nothing with covers is even an option anymore, except adding your own.
And if you make playlists out of a single album, it used to take the name of the album, but now you have to type it in yourself, and it won’t take the album artwork or allow you to paste the artwork you copied from it’s own artwork tab, you have to select from a file or from photos. So if I put in a new album, I have to put the album artwork on the track, then add it to the playlist too? WTF APPLE!
The new ploylist window with the ugly generic art you can chose and what you type shows up over it.
The add your own artwork (no option to use existing artwork).
You can drag artwork to the plus or choose a file or from library, but nothing to chose album artwork, WTF!
I consistently feel like Apple puts people in charge who have never used the software, or aren’t long term users, or don’t see why people liked the old behavior.
There is a thread on this at Apple, but since Apple doesn’t read their own forums, who really cares?
The problem is this needs to get out to the tech press, so that Apple actually sees about it and sees that people care about this, but with people just talking on the forum that they don’t even read it will never get seen. Hopefully people will at least post some feedback and get this out there.
OWC’s latest drive is USB4, so it supports USB4, USB 3.2, USB 2 AND Thunderbolt 3 & 4, which is $119.99 empty and up to $1299.99 for an 8TB.
I just find it exciting for future OWC products to all be USB 4 so compatible with everything.
And according to Mac Performance Guide the large version is fast, faster than internal Mac Pro drives!

We have all done it, but you shouldn’t because there will always be issues. Personally I always have to wait for SoftRAID to upgrade, so my hard drives work.
