Adobe has released the May 2022 (Version 22.4) .
The one new feature is a separated Dimensions Preference, so you can use this checkbox and separate x & y positions in the timeline by default.
The April 2022 release (version 22.3) had many more features, including Frame.io integration, native silicon support, extended viewer, scene edit detection, binning indicators for 3D layers, coach marks, and constrained shapes.

10x faster exports for 10-bit 4:2:0 HEVC on Mac OS for Intel and M1 systems.
Select HEVC from the Format drop-down under Export Settings to enable this option. Then under the Video tab, go to Encoding Settings. If the system supports hardware encoding, the Performance field is set to Hardware Encoding. Set the profile level to Main 10. Setting it to Software Encoding will disable hardware encoding, and Adobe Premiere Pro won’t use hardware to encode the media.
On Apple M1 systems, HEVC HLG 4:2:0 10-bit encoding still encodes via software.
10x faster exports for 10-bit 4:2:0 HEVC on AMD
To enable this option, select HEVC from the Format drop-down under Export Settings. Then under the Video tab, go to Encoding Settings. If the GPU card supports HW encoding, the Performance field will be set to Hardware Encoding. Set the profile level to Main 10. Setting it to Software Encoding will disable hardware encoding and Adobe Premiere Pro won’t use AMD hardware to encode the media.

Nice, the HEVC speed icnreases sound amazing, though it is still a format that I don’t use much except for capture on my iPhone.
Enchanted Media posted links to 3 videos on making confetti in after effects with built in plug ins and Trapcode.
From VideoRevealed, this is a good watch.
I\ain Anderson of Pro Video Coalition on Apple Motion being every editors secret weapon.
It is an interesting article, and it is true it is such an inexpensive program, that everyone should use it. I have personally used it extensively while doing an edit job on Final Cut and found it essential for using Final Cut Pro with some features that are much easier to use than After Effects with more power, but others I thought far inferior, harder and with huge bugs. And I was not at all impressed by it’s Motion Blur which After Effects does so much better.
Much like Final Cut I find it i a powerful program but with huge caveats. And while I do have it, I don’t find it as useful as other similar programs.
Jay Holben and Christopher Probst, ASV book the Cine Lens Manual has been released for $175. It is 836 pages and from what I hear an amazing read. I wish it was a little less expensive.
65+ Free LUTs linked to by Logan Baker at Premium Beat.
Personally I don’t use LUTs much, I more do the basic correction and then reference images, but if you use them this is a worthwhile link.
