Adobe has announced a major update for Creative Cloud with new capabilities in grading, creating graphics and crafting audio, new VR tools, improved collaboration, integration with Adobe Stock and artificial intelligence powered by Adobe Sensei.
“The demands and pace of video content creation are reaching levels we’ve never seen before. The time pressure on video professionals means the need for powerful and efficient creative tools has never been greater,” said Steven Warner, vice president of digital video and audio at Adobe. “Adobe video apps like Premiere Pro and After Effects give them that power which, combined with the services available in Creative Cloud, provides broadcasters, media companies, filmmakers and YouTubers a complete ecosystem to bring their stories to screen faster than ever.”
Here’s Adobe’s list of the new feature highlights:
· Edit more powerfully with colour and light in Premiere Pro CC – Powered by Adobe Sensei, Colour Match two shots with one click, applying editable Lumetri adjustments from one clip to another to achieve visual consistency in scenes and across whole projects. Compare shots using the new split-view.
· Create animation and graphics more quickly in After Effects CC – Stacked behaviours and effects in combination with timeline-based animation now make the creative process more visual and intuitive.
