Have to love Joseph Campbell and his Power of Myth and VFX Films.

It is a strange future when the leading editing software does not have a definitive future, and until they stay something their is no way to know.
As Thomas Germain at Gizomodo is reporting ZOOM has changed it’s privacy policy to allow them to use your calls to train it’s AI, though they now say they won’t, but haven’t changed their policy.
After this I will never trust ZOOM again. This is just plain dumb.
Again some fantastic Audio lessons from CrumplePop.
Next-Gen Roto Brush, I have been looking forward to, the 3rd generation, and hopefully the best and most powerful version to date.
OpenColorIO Workflow enhancements is welcome as this is an industry standard and After Effects has always lacked color options.
Text Scripting Support should be an interesting addition to make more powerful text animations.
And Currently in the Beta
True 3D Workspace should be pretty awesome, since Adobe does have it’s own 3D software (just wish it was part of the same subscription).
A good post from Jourdan Aldredge at No Film School. Amazing that decent monitors are that cheap!
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.
https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/whats-new/2024.html#retain-destinationsRetain Custom destinations in Export Mode for all clips and sequences in any project. Which is great, but they need to make the inferior export mode more customizable! That should be a damn priority.

The $3000 over the MacStudio to be able to use some PCI cards (but not video cards) just doesn’t seem worth it to me. If I had the money, sure, but I would have to be pretty loaded.
Yet another must read After Effects roundup, that I am posting about really late.
