Once again this is a feature that we took for granted in legacy Final Cut Pro for the last decade. PP: Preserve bin structure on folder import This feature is very useful to those of us who jump from Avid to FCP to Premiere Pro and want to unify our keyboard shortcuts. I’m not sure what the actual limit is, but I have successfully assigned up to three keyboard shortcuts to many commands in Premiere Pro. PP: Ability to assign more than one keyboard shortcut to a command

This is one of those features we have taken for granted in other NLEs for years and sorely missed in Premiere Pro. PP: Preference to maintain audio pitch during scrubbing You will find “Advanced Spill Suppressor” and “Key Cleaner” in the Keying folder of Effects & Presets. I haven’t had a chance to test these new tools against the old ones but it sounds like they are much improved.

After Effects uses the same source settings option to switch the display LUT from default REC709 to SLog2 (found in “Interpret Fooage.) Slog3 isn’t supported yet. There will be no more transcoding to ProRes4444 just to work on RAW clips in AE. Premiere Pro has supported Sony’s 4K RAW with the optional Sony plugin, but not in After Effects. I really could have used this feature for a 4K RAW job a few weeks ago. In fact, if the clip is replaced with an AE composition via Dynamic Linking the mask can be further tweaked in After Effects. Standard feathering controls are available as well as mask shape editing similar to After Effects. In this example I used the mirror effect and and ellipse shape mask to restrict it to just the face. This allows for “power window” style color correction or hiding of license plates, faves, etc. Here are some of the new features that I find most interesting.Īll applied effects can now be shape masked and tracked. Adobe has announced a major update to Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC and Media Encoder CC. As expected, there are many under-the-hood improvements that affect Mercury Engine and now Mercury Transmit, but the incredible thing for me about this upgrade is that Premiere Pro CC seems to be turning into the app I wished had been released as Final Cut Pro 8! It is becoming more and more intuitive for those of use who have been editing on FCP or Avid for years.
