Ever wonder how you can organize your project at a level beyond bins? Sure bins are great, but what if you want to have more specific categories. Perhaps you need a clip to appear in 2 different bins, it fits your animals category of clips but also fits your water category of clips. There’s no need to duplicate your clip, you can use custom metadata to add more fine-grained organization to your project.

SpeedGrade CS6 – Virtual Trackballs
In this brief video I showcase the “virtual trackballs” in SpeedGrade CS6. What this feature does, is gives a colorist part of the power of a full on control surface, without the expense of one. Now, of course SpeedGrade supports actual control surfaces, but for the occasional color corrector, or anyone on a budget, this feature takes some of the pain out of adjusting the color wheels.

Premiere Pro CS6 – Sky Replacement using Warp Stabilizer, Three Way Color Corrector, Adjustment Layers & More
In this tutorial I talk about some basic compositing techniques that let you do a sky replacement right within Premiere Pro CS6. Using tools including the Warp Stabilizer, Three Way Color Correction Effect, and CS6’s new adjustment layers we create a basic sky replacement right in the edit.
You’ll be surprised how easy this technique is and how much flexibility you have to perform effects right in the timeline.
Thanks to the NLE Ninja for giving some great tutorial suggestions that inspired this tutorial and more to come.

Premiere Pro CS6 – Adobe Mercury Transmit
Adobe has introduced a totally new playback engine in Premiere Pro CS6. What does that mean to the end user? It means no more AJA, Blackmagic, Matrox, etc. sequences needed for third party playback to your broadcast monitors. You still need the cards obviously, just not a branded sequence to play back with them. It also hopefully means an end to playback issues seen in previous versions.

Premiere Pro CS6 – Toggle Full Screen
In this quick Premiere Pro CS6 tutorial, I go over the basics of using the new Toggle Full Screen feature. This feature lets you quickly toggle your primary or secondary monitor to become a full screen display for the video you are editing. It’s particularly helpful when editing on a smaller resolution screen or on a screen that is not connected to an external broadcast monitor.

After Effects CS6 – Bounding Boxes
This tutorial covers the new bounding box feature in After Effects CS6. With this feature, you can easily visualize the edges of your layers, making layers more discoverable and easy to work with. The video goes into detail about the simple and more advanced benefits of these display elements. One of the greatest new features is the ability to snap anchor points to corners, edges, and the center of layers.

Premiere Pro CS6- New Audio Setup Part 1
The audio track setup in Premiere has been completed reworked in CS6. Stereo and mono tracks are no longer, having been totally replaced by standard tracks, that can hold both stereo and mono audio. In addition to the new track behavior, Premiere Pro CS6 has been given a new audio meter that is scalable to be anywhere from tiny to as large as full screen.

Premiere Pro CS6 – Warp Stabilizer
Premiere Pro CS6 brings the stabilization power of After Effects CS5.5 and later right into your timeline. If you have a shaky clip, you can edit it into your sequence, apply the Warp Stabilize effect, and continue to work as Premiere stabilizes the edited portion of the clip in the background. This effect, which gives results formerly only possible from advanced tracking and stabilization methods, lets you smooth out your clips effortlessly. In this video I demonstrate the results from both smoothing motion and completely removing motion and show you some of the more advanced options in the effect.
The Warp Stabilizer, while not a replacement for well shot footage, will be a welcome addition to all editors and is a great new tool in Premiere Pro CS6’s arsenal.
