IBC is just around the corner, and with that comes what seems to be Adobe’s bi-yearly tradition of major updates to the video applications.
There is so much to cover in this update to Premiere CC 2014, so let’s dive right in. Remember to read to the end because I will definitely save some of the best for last.
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:
1. Masking and tracking built into all effects in the timeline
2. Reverse Match frame
3. Maintain audio pitch while scrubbing
4. Assign more than one keyboard shortcut to a command
5. Media Browser favorites
6. Set to Frame Size command
7. Preserve intrinsics and effects when flatting multi cam
8. Auto-save to cloud
