PVC Early look of new Premiere Pro

Scott Simmons at the Pro Video Coalition has a 3 page look at the new Premiere Pro. This is getting me even more excited. The best thing is actually way down in the article, that you can now view audio with one click or keystroke in the viewer! Woohoo! Back to FCP 7 style ease of audio editing in the viewer!And i sure do hope my Behringer MIDI control surface will work and not just EUCON and Makie surfaces! Hopefully any MIDI surface will work! Please please please Adobe!!I do love that they are listening, even if it seems to take a little while, it certainly is faster than Apple ever did, if they ever listened at all, which to me FCP X proves they have not.Now I just hope more companies chose Adobe over AVID, especially with the NVIDIA GTX 680 coming out for Macs!

Vincent Laforet on the new MoVi handheld stabilizer

Just before NAB the new MoVi handheld stabilizer with gyro stabilization and accelerometers has been announced, and there is video from it and of it. It is $15000 and they are working on a smaller one for $7500.Here is the short film Movi: MōVI from Vincent Laforet on Vimeo.Here is the Movi rig in action: MōVI in Action (Quick Video) from Vincent Laforet on Vimeo.And BTS: MōVI BTS from Vincent Laforet on Vimeo.Sounds very very cool! And the footage all looks amazing for being handheld. Pretty damn impressive. The world needs more of these so we get away from the horrible shaky cam that has become so prevalent of late! This could replace steady cam. And I bet you could make an amazing rig to attach it to your body and not make your arms quite so tired as well.How if only someone could come up with one for much cheaper, though it certainly wouldn't be as impressive. Wow.

Adobe on the new Prelude

Adobe has released a blog on the new features of Adobe Prelude. Honestly I haven't played with Prelude too much, as I have mostly been dealing with easy projects for import in Premiere, but it does sound interesting. Especially turning scripts into metadata using Adobe Story. And the rough cut feature sounds interesting.

Adobe on the new Adobe Media Encoder

Adobe has posted a blog about the new Adobe Media Encoder. Sounds exciting, especially the enhanced after effects rendering. And it is already so fast. I just hope it does better interlacing and frame rate conversion. I have had to go back to compressor for certain things, but it is SO SLOW!!!!
