Adobe has announced several new features for its audio / video products. One of the news had already been revealed in beta and now receives an official announcement. Let's talk about the possibility of working both in Premiere Pro and in After Effects with the 'raw' format Apple ProRes RAW, both in Mac environment, and – and this is the novelty – in Microsoft Window environments, through a codec released by Adobe itself. Another good news for users of Windows PC systems is the possibility of exploiting theH.264 and H.265 (HEVC) hardware encoding with Nvidia and AMD GPUs.
Adobe has improved support for pen tool in Premiere Pro, with an easier and faster use of the Bezier curves. In addition, to simplify the visualization, now a filter tool allows in the Effects Control panel to see at a glance only the effects used in the clip, without having to scroll through the whole list. At the level of collaborative tools new support for audio files in Creative Cloud Libraries to easily reuse portions of audio or soundtracks common to multiple projects, avoiding duplication.
In After Effects new tools allow you to more easily manage the writing, animating the stroke with a few clicks. The instrument Concentric Shape Repeater it also allows you to create in a few written passages that radiate in a concentric way, with colored effects, with a strong retro effect.
Some of the news are at first glance mild, but they can be very useful in everyday life, such as it automatic switching between audio devices in Audition when a device is connected. If you are working on a project at the desk with headphones and reopen it on the plane for a tweak that of the connected Bluetooth headsets, these are automatically selected and similar speech applies to the input sources.
