    Well, it’s that time again. NAB is just around the corner, and with that comes a ton of new software and new features! In this video we talk about the upcoming features that Adobe has announced for the upcoming version of Premiere Pro CC. There are tons of little features, but we cover the majority of these with 15 new features in all in this video. I know it’s a longer video so please stay with it. There is a lot to cover after all! The features we cover are as follows:

    3. Maintain audio pitch while scrubbing
    4. Assign more than one keyboard shortcut to a command

    12. Toogle all video and audio locks separately

  • 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.

  • 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.
