Adobe has redesigned the Premiere Pro workplace switcher again and it is better than their last version

Francis-Crossman an adobe employee has posted a discussion for the Premiere Pro Beta on the Workspace Switcher Improvements in the header bar. It is certainly an improvement to their upgrade which was going to hide workspaces behind multiple clicks, while this allows for single click to your favorite workspaces. This new version is not the default which just shows the active worksapce, but if you click and select show workspace. You can now scroll through workspaces or edit workspaces to edit which ones show. Certainly an improvement from hiding workspaces completely, I still am not sure about the new header bar, which seems to make import and export more important than the meat of editing itself, butt this is at least an improvement.

ProVideoCoalition reports that Adobe Premiere Pro used on 61% of film at Sundance Film Festival

Jose Anutunes wrote this article with the impressive fact that 61% of the films at the Sundance Film Festival were cut on Adobe Premiere Pro. The whole Sundance Film Festival could be viewed online this year, and it is more impressive that so many films were cut in Premiere. And 78% of the films used Adobe Creative Cloud tools, especially After Effects and Photoshop. There was certainly a time when films would only be cut in AVID, but with Productions it is so much easier to have a large project, and even multiple users. Honestly I love the online thing, having been to Sundance Before, I was blown away by how crappy some of the venues were, and just being able to see the films online really does expand who can see the films.
