Adobe granting sneak peek at pro video apps to broadcasters conference
Adobe is once again using the National Association of Broadcasters annual convention as a platform to divulge a first look at brand-new versions of its professional video and audio creation software. NAB 2013 attendees will get a sneak peek at new versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, SpeedGrade, Audition, Prelude, Media Encoder, and Story Plus.
The company is also announcing Adobe Anywhere for video, an enterprise collaborative-workflow platform that allows users of Adobe's pro video tools—such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Prelude—to work together with media and assets across almost any network. Adobe Anywhere does not require heavy file transfers and does not rely on proxy files, so users work directly with high-quality media. Adobe Anywhere is expected to be released in May. Adobe Anywhere complements Adobe Creative Cloud, and is hosted on-premises alongside other media-storage and asset-management hardware and software. It requires a separate purchase and implementation from the creative applications.
Currently Adobe is offering no further details about when the new versions of the software for Mac and Windows will be released, what they will be called, how much they will cost, and in what suite configuration, if any, they will appear. With the release dates under wraps, Adobe is emphasizing that Creative Cloud subscribers will be the first to benefit from any upgrades.
Premiere Pro
Among the top new features of Premiere Pro, Adobe’s flagship video app, is Editing Finesse, which offers a redesigned, streamlined timeline and new shortcuts to hasten the editing process. A new Audio Clip Mixer allows you to control sound precisely, while the Lumetri Deep Color Engine, integrated with the SpeedGrade color utility, lets you apply assorted color grading looks to your footage. Improved track targeting enables you to select specific video and audio tracks in a target sequence and then insert a source clip from the Source panel into just those targeted tracks. Paste Attributes let you copy and paste specific effects from one clip to another. A new Link & Locate feature permits quick linking to media regardless of where it was moved.
