Already I have been annoyed by YouTube, a recent update on Apple TV, has my TV showing a lost connection at every commercial break, which means huge delays on every commercial break. I have seen speculation that it might be the addition of HDR to the Apple TV app, which means that the commercials are different than the stream, and causing the lost connection and pause at every commercial break.
I have to admit I have known about Lightworks but I have still never tried it. I have never heard of a place that required it or even used it, so I have never played with it.
Honestly this post is a question to anyone why might know, as I have been running into something very frustrating with DaVinci Resolve, and that is, why when I duplicate a timeline do I lose the render completely and have to let it sit and re-render footage that is still rendered and has not changed from the previous Timeline (DaVinci’s name for a Sequence).
This is especially frustrating while working on my short film, which has full color corrects and a good deal of noise reduction, so a render can take hours and hours.
I looked for this on the DaVinci forums and don’t see anyone mentioning it, nor any posts on YouTube.
Selection improvements, is really impressive what the AI can do to select, and how easy it is to edit and fix these masks. Sure it might not be perfect, but what an incredible improvement.
One-click Delete and Fill, will be a huge addition for when you are separating the subject from the background as you will not have weird edges left to screw up any effects you put on your background image.
For now it will only have 2 tabs, the color tab shown above, and the cut tab.
The Cut Page also looks much like it’s desktop version
Here;s hoping that the cut page will work with the DaVinci Speed Editor, which is Bluetooth, so that would only make sense.
They have also said there will be a free version and a paid Studio Version from the iTunes Store.
With the M2 Chip in the new ipad pro this should work, though the limited ram might be a bit of an issue, as will storage, so hopefully it will work well with external hard drives.
This will be released in quarter 4 of 2022!
How can Blackmagic Design manage this, when Apple hasn’t manged a version of Final Cut Pro for the iPad.
Bulk edit titles on the timeline is a huge signature feature. You can batch change attributes across graphics files (this has been coming since you could see the ext in earlier versions).
Improved Previews on Windows and macOS, with Apple ProRes now being the default codec for previewing most video formats. This could be a huge performance and quality boost. I already use ProRES as my default, but nice to have it be the norm.
AAF Support for Apple Silicon, actually makes me wonder why this was not working for so long. Sure you could run premiere not in native mode to get it to work on Apple Silicon, but this is a pretty necessary feature.
I know I was busy working yesterday as I didn’t see about this release until last night, but for Adobe Max they have updated After Effects, and already the Select Track Matte Layers is included! WOOHOO!!!
Select Track Matte Layers is the signature feature that will help clean up every timeline. Instead of having to have a track matte in the layer above every layer, you can use a single Track Matte layer and pick whip it to layer you need. And you can change it from alpha to luma with a button and invert the matte with a second button.
The only thing that could make this better would be sticky folders, so you could put all your track mattes in a folder and stick it to the top or bottom (and even better if you could have 2 timelines showing, so you could keep some of them locked to the top of your tracks, but that is all wishful thinking.
Anyway, Select Track Matte Layers is going to be just a huge time saver and organization saver.
Native H.264 Encoding has returned, it used to work through quicktime, but now it is back and native.
Composition Presets have been revamped and include social media platform sizes (though why is their only a 24p 1080 instead of 23.976?).
New Animation Presets, they have added 50 new presets, with a lot of changeable controls and new text animation controls.
Faster Timeline Navigation, is a simple thing that should have been in there years ago! Thank you adobe. Basically if you select a layer, the J and K keys just move along it if you hold down shift, or you can select a single property.
