Adobe Creative Cloud IBC 2016 Reveal: 团队项目, 可视键盘快捷地图, and More

September has arrived, bringing IBC and a host of updates to Adobe’s Creative Cloud applications. At this year’s broadcasting mega-conference in Amsterdam, Adobe has announced their planned year-end updates to their pro video applications: 试镜, 前奏, Premiere Pro和后的效果.

团队项目

Starting at a higher level than individual app updates, Adobe announced the new “团队项目.” These projects are distinct from standard projects in 前奏, Premiere Pro和后的效果 in that they allow multiple CC users to work on the same project that is synchronized to Adobe’s cloud (图1). This new service will include versioning, history and conflict resolution. If a user tries to open a project currently being worked on, the user will be given a choice on how to proceed.

当被要求澄清这是如何工作的, Adobe said that metadata and references are stored in the cloud, 但并非所有资产都是如此. This means that the users will each need to have access to the same asset files whenever they want to work on a team project. 考虑到这一点, 各队需要计划利用一个中心, shared location for all their assets if they intend to use this service. The team projects feature can also be useful for single users, allowing them to be more mobile with their workflows while not being tied down to a single workstation.

This service seems promising, and I’m hopeful it will be useful to some users. 然而, having experienced other similar services in the past that ended up crashing and burning, I’ll be looking very critically at how well this actually holds up in real-world uses.

Premiere Pro

Premiere Pro will have some niche but welcome updates. 打开字幕 (下面的图2) can now be created within Premiere Pro and edited directly in the timeline. You can also adjust the in/out points of captions within the clips.

There’s a new visual keyboard shortcut map (FINALLY!) that gives users an at-a-glance view of what keys are assigned to what function.

The HDR 10-color gamut is now supported natively, and there’s a new auto detect for what VR mode your footage was shot in.

And for those working with titles not created by them, Typekit can now automatically replace missing fonts.

后的效果

在春天, 后的效果是一个全新的引擎, speeding up the application’s video playback significantly. The fall update will bring enhancements to this engine, which will yield even faster playback. There’s also multithread CPU support for faster rendering.

最后, 用于真正的3D图形工作, the Cinema 4D renderer is now built-in to the 后的效果 composition timeline (下面的图3). Rendering outside of the timeline will be a thing of the past, and complex 3D graphics can be viewed without launching the Cinema 4D interface.

试镜

While 试镜 did not receive any significant new updates, there is a refined set of workflow guides designed to ease the learning curve for new users. There are step-by-step “wizards” that walk users through common audio tasks such as reducing background noise and mastering the “essential sound panel.”

All of these updates to Adobe’s Creative Cloud pro video applications will be released later in 2016.
