It’s also the industry’s first tool for post-production review and approval, which will help editors streamline their workflow and get final approval faster and easier.
After Effects Innovations
After Effects, natively powered by the M1 chip, now runs 7x faster on the M1 Mac and renders compositions 1x faster than the Intel 10-core iMac Pro. In addition, features powered by Adobe Sensei machine learning technology, such as the dynamic brush tool Roto Brush 2 and the new scene edit detection, are faster and play more smoothly. Compared to previous high-end models, the new M1 Ultra system has 2x faster EXR decoding and 4x faster ProRes decoding.
Scene Edit Detection, powered by Adobe Sensei artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, can automatically detect scene changes in edited clips and process them as separate layers or add markers at edit points to speed up Project settings.
The Extended Viewer helps users view 2D and 3D layers that lie beyond the edges of the frame when using the Draft 3D engine. Motion designers can view larger designs, navigate 3D space, move 3D layers, and hide or darken areas outside the frame to see the final effect.
The Binning Indicators for 3D Layers can display 3D layers rendered together in the same space and their intersection and shadow relationships, helping users visualize how 2D and 3D layers are composited in After Effects.
New in Premiere Pro
The redesigned import mode, title bar and export workflow create a more intuitive visual experience, and the new title bar makes the job picture clearer and more focused. The new export mode allows users to quickly upload media assets exported in Premiere Pro directly to social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Its smart preset manager ensures that the output format matches the optimal settings for the target platform, simplifying the process of uploading content for new users and professionals.
With the support of Adobe Sensei, Auto Color can use artificial intelligence to help users quickly perform the first color correction, and can also help and guide new users to familiarize themselves with color tools, or speed up the second correction for experienced users. previous workflows, such as correcting skin tones or sky color. In addition to Auto Color, Adobe Sensei-supported features in Premiere Pro include Remix, Auto Reframe, Auto Ducking, and Speech to Text. Now, Smart Voice Transcription supports 14 languages including Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Cantonese.
Other performance and workflow improvements include the ability to show and hide markers by color, a mix progress indicator for audio clips, and an option to loop in trim mode.
