New features of Adobe Premiere Pro cc video processing software

Adobe®premiere®pro CC has made important improvements and added new features on the basis of Premiere Pro CS6. The focus includes increasing multi-GPU support, enabling users to take advantage of all GPU resources, allowing multiple Adobe Premiere Pro cc jobs to be queued for rendering in the background, effectively improving speed, re-designing the software interface and timelines, and providing new Paste Properties dialog boxes; new links and positioning Help users easily find the necessary files during editing, add multi-track audio synchronization in Muticam editing, provide new closed captioning, built-in more codecs and native formats, and provide the latest Lumetri deep color engine to make color grading more efficient and so on.

Use Adobe Creative Cloud sync settings

When you use Adobe®premiere®pro on multiple computers, managing and synchronizing preferences, presets, and libraries between these computers can be time-consuming, complex, and error-prone. Premiere Pro CC's new sync Settings feature allows users to sync general preferences, keyboard shortcuts, presets, and libraries to Creative Cloud. For example, if you use multiple computers, you can use the Sync Settings feature to keep settings for multiple computers synchronized. Synchronization will take place through the user's Adobe Creative Cloud account. Upload all settings to the user's Creative Cloud account, and then download and apply them to other computers.

Users can also download and use settings on a computer that contains a copy of another user's software license. With this feature, multiple users can use their own personal settings on the same computer. For example, in post-production facilities, a number of part-time editors can work on different shifts.

Synchronization will take place through the user's Adobe Creative Cloud account. The settings are uploaded to the user's Creative Cloud account and then downloaded and applied to other computers. The user must manually initiate synchronization. Synchronization does not occur automatically, and synchronization cannot be scheduled.

Adobe Anywhere Integration

Adobe Anywhere enables video teams to collaborate effectively and access shared media across standard networks. Users can use local or remote networks to access, stream, and use media from remote Storage at the same time. Large file transfers, duplicate media, and proxy files are not required.

To use Adobe anywhere in Premiere Pro, choose File > Adobe anywhere > Sign in. Enter the required information in the Adobe Anywhere Login dialog box.

Adobe Anywhere: Adobe Anywhere is a private cloud service for video production, a collaborative workflow platform based on central storage and computing resources that enables production team members who are distributed in different locations to use Adobe Professional video tools including Adobe Premierepro, Prelude, aftereffects and so on through the Internet to work together. Adobe anywhere can integrate third-party storage, media systems, directly on the remote server to generate high-code streams, once the local to access a piece of footage, the server will be transferred to the low-bitrate streaming media to the local, so that real-time. Another benefit of this is that the remote server can support higher streams, from high-definition to 2K to 4 K. Adobe anywhere enables users to produce anywhere, anytime, in a wireless internet environment that is both efficient and economical, and is ideal for television and film production organizations that have a need for remote production. adobe anywhere complements Adobe Creative Cloud and enables deep collaboration in enterprise-level production workflows.

2 User Interface Improvements

User interface Improvements

Provides high-resolution display for improved overall user experience

Premiere Pro now offers HiDPI support that enhances the display experience of a high-resolution user interface. The latest monitors, such as Apple's Retina Mac computer, including the new version of the MacBook Pro, support HiDPI display.

Other improvements to the user interface include:

Improved title and Action Safety Guide

Switch between video and audio waveforms with just one click

Working with multiple Project panel windows

Opening and closing ToolTips

Enhances the display experience by providing HiDPI support

A. View video or audio with just one click B. Enhanced title and action Safety Guide

Redesign the timeline to provide customizable track headers

The timeline panel for Premiere Pro is now redesigned to customize so that users can select what they want to display and access the controls immediately.

Users can now work faster and more efficiently with volume and pan, recording, and audio metering track controls.

Diagram: Redesigned timeline

The track headers in the timeline panel are now customizable, and you can determine which controls are displayed. Because the controls for video and audio tracks are different, each track type has a separate button editor.

Right-click the video or audio track and select Custom. Then drag and drop the button as needed. For example, a user can select the track gauge control and drag it onto an audio track.

Users can easily edit the source sequence into other sequences without nesting. You can also copy the effect of one clip to another clip by using enhanced paste properties.

3 relink Offline media, duplicate frame detection, closed captions

relink Offline Media

Typically, a user can move or rename a file, or transcode a file to another format. Premiere Pro helps users find and relink these files through the New Link Media dialog box.

Illustration: A. To find missing media

When a user opens an item that contains offline media, the Link Media dialog box provides information such as the file name, last known path, and metadata properties. With all this information, users can quickly find and relink media through Premiere Pro to return to the online status for use in the project.

Duplicate frame detection

Premiere Pro can identify clips in the same sequence that are used multiple times on the timeline by displaying duplicate frame markers. The repeating frame marker is a colored stripe indicator that spans the bottom of each repeating frame of the clip.

Premiere Pro automatically assigns a color to each master clip that has duplicate clips. Assign up to 10 different colors. After 10 colors are used, the tenth color is reused.

For example, let's say that a user uses multiple cameras to shoot a sporting event. During the entire game, the user may have taken a variety of different crowd shots. If multiple shots appear in the same crowd, repeated frame detection displays a colored stripe in the repeating clip to remind the user that this is a repeating clip.

Note: Repeating frame markers do not apply to still images and time remapping.

Hidden subtitles

Users can now use the closed caption text in Premiere Pro without the need for separate, closed caption authoring software.

Illustration: The Closed Captioning tool in Premiere Pro

A. Displaying closed captions that contain content B. Viewing subtitles on the timeline

Users can import closed caption text, link it to the corresponding clip, edit the text, and adjust the duration of the timeline from Premiere Pro. When you are finished, export the user's sequence to a tape or Adobe Media Encoder along with the embedded closed caption, or export the sequence as a separate Sidecar file.

4 Enhancements to editing techniques

Enhancements to editing techniques

Automatic synchronization of multiple camera angles

The new multi-camera mode displays the MultiCam editing interface in the program monitor. You can create an immediate editable sequence from a clip that uses multiple cameras from different angles or from a different lens in a particular scene.

Users can use the Create multi-camera source sequence option to combine clips with universal in/out points or overlapping timecode into one multicam sequence. Users can create a multi-camera source sequence from a clip bin. When creating a multicam sequence, an offset audio control (ranging from 100 to + 100 frames) is now available.

Illustration: Automatic matching of multiple camera angles using markers or audio tracks

Automatically sync clips with audio waveforms

Premiere Pro allows users to combine clips using audio waveforms. Users can use audio recorded from another source to automatically sync and create MultiCam and merged clips using audio waveforms.

Source patching and track target positioning

Source patching and track target positioning have been redesigned to enable faster, more efficient editing. Now you can patch the source (for insert and overwrite edits) with a single click, or determine the target track (for copy/paste, match frames, and other edits).

Users can create presets for common patching scenarios, allowing users to reconfigure the timeline with a single command.

To edit a non-nested sequence into a target sequence

Users can now edit the source sequence into other sequences while keeping the original source clip and track layout intact. This feature allows users to use segments of other sequences that contain a single source clip, edit points, transitions, and effects, similar to copy/paste.

The nested source sequence Toggle command allows the user to toggle between nested and non-nested behavior. The nested source sequence Toggle command is available from the source indicator context menu of the timeline heading.

By editing a connection

Users can now connect pass-through edit points in a clip using the new Edit Connection feature.

In the Timeline panel, select the edit point you want to connect to in the clip. Then, right-click/Ctrl-click the selected edit point and select Connect by edit from the context menu.

The pass-through edit point indicator is displayed on unrelated edits that do not cause the original frame sequence of the clip to break. When a user uses edit connection for a pass-through edit point, Premiere Pro repairs The cut point and re-creates the longer clip from the contiguous section.

Aligning the Razor tool

Dragging the playhead on the timeline now aligns the indicator to the project. When snapping is enabled, the Razor tool is clearly aligned to the playhead, each edit point, and the transition head.

To enable the snapping feature, in the Preferences dialog box, in the General Preferences list, select Enable Align Playhead to playhead in the timeline.

To use the multi-razor tool on all tracks, press the Shift key. to ignore track entries, press the ALT key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS).

Naming nested sequences

The nested Sequence Name dialog box is displayed when the user creates a nested sequence using the timeline's nested command. The user can enter the name that is selected for the nested sequence.

To use the nested sequence command, right-click/Ctrl-click a clip in the timeline panel and choose Nest from the context menu.

The playhead moves to the edit point after the ripple is deleted

When you ripple-delete a clip in a timeline panel, the playhead automatically moves to the beginning of the extracted clip (edit point). Users can immediately replace edits without first repositioning the playhead.

Enhanced Paste Properties

The Paste Properties dialog box allows you to easily add and move audio and visual effects between multiple clips.

After you copy the clip that contains the effect, the user can select which effect to paste into the current clip selected on the timeline by using this dialog box.

You can also select these effects if the video or audio clip contains effects that are applied by any other user. Users can select a group of effects or special effects.

Trim to zero duration

Use the keyboard or mouse to trim the duration of the clip to zero.

5 Audio Enhancements
