Why’s new in Adobe Premiere Pro September 2025 (25.5)

I am a little late posting about this update, as I don’t get much chance to actually sit in front of my computer since I am taking care of my toddler 24-7! But here is Adobe on Premiere Pro 25.5. 90+ Modern realtime effects and transitions! This is so big as Premiere’s transitions have been sorely lacking for some time! In fact so few have been added in ages that this is just huge news! I hope adobe goes out and buys some more effects packages! New Animation Tools is really more from the above, Faster More Precise Editing! Live audio waveforms is another big one as this has been sorely lacking in Premiere and a speciality of DaVinci. Let’s just hope they have fixed all the bugs with waveforms disappearing as this has been a frustration for well over 10 years that they have never dealt with! Listening to editors, improving every cut! Sequence color tabs provide visual indicators for better organization. Improvements to the Effect Controls panel make keyframing more predictable. New preferences for default fonts for text and captions. New keyboard commands to toggle track mute and solo based on targeting. Search for Adobe Stock media from the File menu. New support for 16-bit PNG images to support newer HDR finishing workflows that require high-bit-depth media. Improved data range and color metadata handling for DNxHR, DNxHD, and PNG.Completely rewritten support for MKV. All great and let’s hope it continues! I would love more focus on fixing problems and lesson new features overall. Let’s hope Adobe really is listening’

And I don’t have a laser cutter, though I do have a 3d printer, and am still making stuff for my spaceship. I need to watch more videos from Create Sci-Fi for sure!

DaVinci Resolve 20.2.2 has a new fix for Mac Gamma shift issue with Rec 709 (Scene) from Creative Video Tips

If only Apple would work on this issue, and Adobe as well. Sure DaVinci previously could do this with Rec 709a, but rec 709 (scene) should do a better job. https://youtu.be/Fcej7hDihW8?si=Bd_-xBChSs6gbywb And the fact that it does ColorSync and the correct gamma tags is awesome! And if you aren’t subscribed to Chadwick’s Creative Video Tips? What are you doing?

Arstechnica’s in depth Review of Mac OS 26 Tahoe

Andrew Cunningham’s in depth review of Tahoe is a must read, as it always is. I have not moved to Tahoe yet and won’t for a while because they removed FireWire support, and I have so much dv and hdv footage I need to capture first. And I hate Liquid Glass on my iPad and iPhone, so will hate it on Mac. y8

CUT/DAILY on documentary workflows with AI

CUt/DAILY #442 (Free Registration Required) is on using multicam and AI to create a trailer or reel for a documentary. Pretty interesting and how this can speed things up and find clips, though also a little scary as this may in the future keep editors from ever viewing all their footage, which I see as a huge mistake! Still speeding up finding clips is always a good thing.

Apple insider has a great look back at Steve Jobs Next computers which became Mac OS X

William Gallagher at AppleInser has this great look back at the story of Next Computer, Steve Jobs company after Apple that never really took off but did eventually bring him back to Apple and form the basis for all things Apple today! I never have even seen a NEXT person though I would love to have one. Such an interesting story too, though this doesn’t delve I to Steve Jobs being forced out of Apple.

Potato Jet on the new Nikon Red ZR Camera

  • Post category:Nikon RedZR

https://youtu.be/taok7N8yP3M?si=kuMR1B-j8Uw3P4CC I love Potato Jet’s videos and really feel he is honest. This camera seems very impressive, but with limitations like a lack of fans and some modes working with Nikon color science instead of RED which is a bit of a let down, but the $2196 US price point is literally insane. When you are beating BlackMagic on price point, wow!
