Adobe finally has said they are working on their new Export Mode failing to load in Premiere Pro 23.2 and 23.3

Of late when I tried to export from Premiere Pro this is the screen that I got. And this after the them getting rid of the old export window for this new monstrosity (please see this very long thread at Adobe on the monstrosity).

For a little while there I could get it to work if I trashed my preferences and re-synced and the export would work for a few seconds, but this stopped working.

Then thanks to this thread at Adobe, I found that deleting my 23.0 folder from User/Username/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro fixed the problem for a single export, then it stoppwed working.

So then I have been using Media Encoder to open the Premiere Pro sequences directly. The Media Encoder version that I had been doing above, reset premiere pro preferences which worked for a while, and 3 the Match Sequence Preview Settings, but I can’t even get to the Export window for that to show up.

Well Finally Adobe has admitted the issue, and posted about it with work arounds.

AppleInsider Reports on Apple acquiring AI-Powered video compression startup WaveOne

Amber Neely has the news that Apple purchased an AI Video Compression company.

This is of course for iPhones, as the technology is made to cut file sizes in half while prioritizing Faces and Text and de-prioritizing backgrounds.

Better video compression is always to be looked for, but I am assuming this won’t be like ProRES HQ or 4444, but more highly compressed, so likely won’t be a great editing compression.

Blackmagic Design released DaVinci Resolve 18.5 Beta 1 at NAB

Amazing how fast they move, adding in AI based trasncription editing and subtitles, a new relighting OFX plug in that works with the color panel and per timeline color management.

The freight train of Davinci Resolve Updates is mind blowing how quickly they add new features and make this program better and more stable.
