NAB 2019 Show is coming to Las Vegas and Adobe announced the latest release of Adobe Creative Cloud with new feature update for Premiere Pro, After Effects, Character Animator and Audition.
The most highlight feature is the After Effects is finally getting content-aware fill feature - one of the most anticipated features to make its way over from Photoshop. T
Content-aware fill works in Adobe After Effects CC the same way it does in Photoshop — you mask out the part of a picture you’d like to remove, and then with one click the software analyzes the image — or, in this case, every frame of a video — to determine the best way to fill the resulting gap.
AE now includes a completely rebuilt Expression editor with the kind of productivity features that are familiar to coders — autocomplete, inline error messages, color-coding and highlighting. “This is a full, rich code editor,” Nece said. “It makes it so much easier to visualize the structure of what you’ve written, how it’s built, and what you need to have in place to make it work and power very complex compositions.”
In a minor but welcome tweak, Adobe has reworked motion blur in AE so that blur is reflected in the composition viewer as soon as the switch is flipped to turn it on — you no longer have to render to see the results.
In Adobe Premiere Pro CC, editors now have a new way to look at their project panel — Freeform View. Aimed at visual thinkers, the new view allows everything in the media bin to be precisely organized on screen, sorted into a given order, arranged in groups, or stacked in piles. Adobe Premiere Pro Product Manager Francis Crossman suggested that editors working in different roles might prefer different visual representations of their project, and Freeform View will allow, say, the assistant editor to have a different vantage on the bin than the lead editor.
Adobe Audition CC is getting a new punch-and-roll recording mode that allows voice performers to correct errors or simply re-record takes without losing the flow of their performance. Also, the utility of Audition’s auto-ducking has been extended so that it now works with environmental, ambient and natural sounds. The auto-ducking is persistent across both Audition and Premiere Pro, allowing nondestructive workflow that incorporates both applications.
Adobe Audition Project Manager Durin Gleaves said the company has been working on keyboard-driven workflow, adding the ability to move clips without grabbing the mouse, using ALT-arrow key combinations instead. Another keyboard shortcut zooms to just clips that are currently selected, making them take up the entirety of the timeline view. And keyframe values including volume, pan and other effect parameters can now be edited manually by right-clicking on the keyframe and typing in a specific value.
And Character Animator has some new tricks, including a dynamic link to After Effects. A new visual tagging system allows elements of a character to be quickly and easily logged — head, eyes, arms, etc. — as they are imported from Photoshop — and Twitch integration gives users who want to stream live via Twitch new character triggers that enable paid audience interactions.
NAB Show, the world’s largest annual conference and expo for professionals who create, manage, and distribute entertainment across all platforms, will host the renowned Creative Masters Series, as well as a Main Stage session and special programs for content creators. NAB 2019 will be from April 6 to 11, 2019 in Las Vegas
