Adobe has updated Premiere Pro to October 2023 (24.0)

And you can check out what is new at Adobe.

5x Faster Timeline Drawing could not be more welcome.

New Text-Based Editing Features, including deleting all pauses (I will never use this one), work with multi-channel audio and more control over transcript view. More control is always welcome.

Color Settings with a consolidating of color selections into a single tab. Lets hope this brings a little more of the control that you have in DaVinci Resolve, but I doubt it. Also be nice if they added in a setting to get around the damn quicktime color shift like you can in DaVinci, but I doubt it.

Audio Auto Tagging is welcome I guess, though not something I ever thought of needing. As I always bring things into labeled folders and separate things onto their own timelines, so I guess I am not the target for this.

Effects Manager is to help identify and troubleshoot problem plug-ins, which is good, help in solving issues is always good.

Project Templates for Fast Setup is great, but it needs to also have hard drive folder templates, like you can do in Post Haste. And it should include folders and let you automatically set the renders and the export folders, that would be amazing.

Restore Projects through Recovery Mode. This is awesome, and I hope it works very well.

Jonny Elwyn Inside the Edit – Pro Editor Course Review

Jonny Elwyn reviews Inside the Edit. Here is the web site for the Course which costs almost $20,000, but sounds like a pretty impressive course overall, though it is live from the UK, so timeings would be hard from the US.

And a second post with more bullet points on it.

Personally I question film school, it was fun, but film school needs direct training for things like Assistant Editing and also job placement, so a much more direct course might be the answer.

IndieWire on Taylor Sheridan’s 1923 using 5 Cameras

I am not a huge fan of Yellowstone, but I am a big fan of the prequels so far, with 1883 being unbelievably good, and 1923 being enjoyable, so I am interested in the behind the scenes (don’t you hate that most streaming shows have no BTS? I sure do, but then I used to actually cut them, so…).

So check out this article from Jim Hemphill at IndieWire.
