For 3D work. the Maxon Cinema 4D standard renderer, Cinerender, is now built into After Effects, allowing animators to work with text and shape layers in the AE timeline.

Adobe’s Creative Cloud will be the recipient of several new upgrades by the end of the year, Adobe announced Tuesday at the 2016 IBC Conference. GPU technology will also speed up rendering compositions. Along with major performance improvements, the updates include new improvements to its VR video workflow as well as updates to its beta Character Animator software. The efficiency gains purportedly come from Adobe Stock’s ability to send watermarked footage at HD or UHD resolution directly to Premiere projects (eliminating the need to scale low-res footage after it’s licensed), the editor’s ability to license footage from inside Premiere, and Adobe Stock’s automatic application of non-destructive changes and effects to all instances of the clip.

Once they find the content they want, the full-quality licensed WAV track replaces the MP3.The new integration panel demonstrates Audio Network’s commitment to ease of use for Adobe Premiere Pro CC users, making it easy to select and edit tracks with no interruptions to their workflow.

After Effects is also getting a new 3D render engine that will improve rendering performance across a range of devices from low-end to high.

Rich dynamic graphics created in After Effects could now be integrated with video material in Premiere Pro, with the text now allowed to be edited without going back to After Effects. More information about this latest Adobe CC announcement can be found via Adobe, here. I love the idea that it’s all housed under one banner and that all the apps within Adobe Creative Cloud can talk to each other.

Better Captions and subtitles in Premiere Pro can help enliven silent auto-play video previews on Facebook for higher engagement, target different languages or improve accessibility for hearing impaired viewers. Additionally, NBC Sports recently leveraged Adobe Marketing Cloud solutions to power the digital delivery of the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Refined Lumetri Color tools in Premiere Pro CC now provides HDR10 metadata support for editing and delivering HDR10 for new HDR-enabled TVs and displays, plus expanded support for color space metadata, providing greater precision for delivering brilliant imagery. A new subtitling and captioning workflow would also be included in the update for easier syncing between the captions and the video. New effects with hi-DPI awareness include, Analog Delay, Chorus/Flanger, DeHummer, Guitar Suite, Phaser, Single Band Compressor, Tube Modelled Compressor, Vocal Enhancer and Multi Band Compressor.

Broad file format support is one of the key strengths of Adobe Premiere Pro. Additionally, the data in Team Projects will be securely hosted in the cloud and media files referenced by Team Projects can be locally stored source files or shared lightweight proxies.
