![]() You can also use the numeric keypad to assign a set number of frames to trim or even dynamically trim by selecting the Roll Edit then double clicking on the edit point. By right-clicking on an edit point you have a new option panel that includes Ripple Trim In/Out, Rolling Edit, and Trim In/Out. It works just like it does in Photoshop or After Effects.ĬS6 gives you lots of new ways to trim edit points. We created an adjustment layer (it is not an effect, you have to go to New>Adjustment Layer), placed it on the track above the tracks we wanted to modify and added several effects. You no longer have to painstakingly add the same effects to every clip on the same layer or get tricky and nest sequences. If you’ve touched Photoshop anytime since CS2, you know how powerful Adjustment Layers can be and it is finally available in Premiere Pro. A work around would be to shoot with faster shutter speeds if you know that you’ll be applying this effect. We applied the effect to other stationary shoulder shot clips that took far less time but the results were equally stunning – rock solid images! The only artifacts we found were some blurring when the camera was jostled faster than the shutter speed could keep sharp. Since every frame was in motion, this took a lot of analysis but after three minutes and 32 seconds, what was a very shaky shot with plenty of tilt and roll was a perfectly stabilized shot. Premiere Pro then analyzed each frame in a background process allowing us to continue working in the program. We simply dragged the Warp Stabilizer effect onto the clip and left all the settings at their defaults. We had a nine-second 1920×1080 clip shot with a DSLR on a Steadicam that, due to strong winds, was less than “steady.” A perfect subject for this test. Warp Stabilizer was the first new tool we had to check out (not that we ever shoot shaky footage). The top new tools include Warp Stabilizer, Adjustment Layers, Dynamic Timeline trimming and Rolling Shutter Repair. No tears shed here.Ĭool New Tools Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Advanced Editing Software The Resource Central window and CS Live button have also vanished. There are inexpensive USB controllers that will give this back to you if you need it. Adobe says after surveying users, they found that the controls were just not being used. ![]() The shuttle and jog controls are now extinct. To make way for this sleeker interface, some things had to go. ![]() Major user interface (UI) changes include: a larger area dedicated to source and program monitors with simplified transport controls that are now user-customizable a tabbed window in the lower left that joins the Project panel with Media Browser, Info, Effects, Marker and History windows a centrally located toolbar and a nice big audio VU meter to the right of the timeline with independent solo buttons for the left and right channels. Of course, you can always revert to a CS5 workspace if you get homesick. Adobe wanted to let you concentrate on the creative aspects and remove the distractions of a complex workspace. ![]() It is greatly simplified since previous versions but, in many ways it is more powerful. The first thing you notice is the redesigned workspace. Your Cloud activation is confirmed on a monthly basis so you do need to maintain an online connection with your editing system. The huge benefit of the Creative Cloud membership, beyond not having to shell out a hunk of cash at one time is you get access to all the Master collection programs plus the new Muse, a simplified Web creation tool along with five Cloud-based services: Story Plus, for script writing and scheduling Adobe TypeKit, a web-font library and manager Business Catalyst, a template-based website development tool cloud storage and device and PC sync. Without a previous qualifying version it is $50 per month for a 12-month contract. If you already own CS4 or above, the Creative Cloud membership is discounted for the first year costing you only $30 per month with a one-year contract. You can still buy the products on disc individually, as part of various collections as you always have or you can now pay monthly with, or without, an annual agreement as part of a Creative Cloud membership. No, you are not being forced into shelling out cash every month if you don’t want to. Let’s quickly get to the bottom line – is the cost of upgrading or purchasing CS6 Production Premium worth it? Absolutely! But the new subscription pricing model is initially a bit confusing. They are certainly worth checking out at Adobe’s website. There are several other impressive new products in the suite that are not included in the Production Premium collection, which we will not review here, such as Adobe Muse, Adobe Edge, Story Plus and many others that are part of the 18+ apps included in the Creative Cloud services. ![]()
