Cut/Daily has post number 196, Premiere Pro Text [Master} Styles Tip, which you will need to sign up for a free account to read.
Styles are certainly a quick way to get font styles in Premiere, so you can easily make changes, and have matching styles throughout. Now Adobe needs to implement the ability to batch change styles, like you can now see all the text in the text panel for spell check.
Kara Murphy at DPReview has this post showing off the short film Origin, by Vadim Sherbakov and shot entirely with the awesome DJI Pocket 2.
I love this because I loved the Pocket 1 and I love the Pocket 2. Very impressive little camera with amazing stabilization abilities.
Adobe has released Premiere Pro February 2022 (Version 22.2).
Its new features include on-device Text to Speach which will be 3x faster on M1 and Intel Core i9 and 2x faster on other hardware, Remix powered by Adobe Sensei to intelligently remix music to match you video, faster 420 HEVC exports on Windows with NVIDIA GPU’s, more GPU Accelerated effects, support the the M1 MacBook Pro Notch and support for the Canon EOS RS C Camera.
You can read detailed info on each feature here.
Still in beta are the new Auto Tone feature in Lumetri Color, and improvements to the import mode, including project naming in the title bar.
I have been looking forward to REMIX, and am glad the new Import mode isn’t there yet, as I have not been a fan of it in the beta, I actually find it it a huge step backwards in usability. They seem to think hitting more buttons to do the same thing is better, and it just isn’t.
And he is so right. Yes of course you can move sequences with varying degrees of success, but projects don’t move back and forth, and doing it is a bad idea. You should stay in the program that the project is started in.
I have of course ended up moving to Resolve, and then having to make edit changes there and wishing I could move the project (damn I wish they would bring back SpeedGrade).
Of course this isn’t a solution for people who use their MacBooks in closed position with bluetooth accessories this won’t work, so we will has to wait for an apple fix or manually turn bluetooth off and on at night.
Jason Snell at Macworld has an article, Forget Everything you know about the Mac Pro which is speculation on Apple Silicon.
Of course we know some, like a bigger version of the M1 Max with more cores and more graphics cores and more memory.
And of course that means a smaller box than the current Intel Mac Pro.
And of course less expansion, because it is unlikely to have PCI slots especially since it doesn’t need an afterburner since it is built into the processor now, and only thunderbolt for expansion.
So really we are not saying anything new here. And sure it is all speculation.
I personally hope for more storage options. It would be great to have at least 2 banks of raided SSD’s, as I am sure there won’t be any room for spinning hard disks (though I would love a bank of 4, but am sure that will need external needs).
Honestly the New MacPro will likely be pretty damn small, but with some fans to cool the processors down for better performance.
I still prefer Mac, and the new M1 Max certainly seems to have some serious speed improvements, but a 12 Gen Intel i9 with an NVIDIA would seriously crank for Premiere.
Knight of the Editing Table have released a new Premiere Pro Extension Anchor.
Anchor allows you to move the anchor point of a clip without moving the clip itself.
It has an alpha mode for Clips with transparacy.
And it works with already Animated Clips.
Anchor is $15.
I am buying every plug in from Knights of the Editing Table. These guys are amazing.
