Software scopes are nice for a quick reference, but if you are doing constant scope referencing (which you probably should be), you may want to take a look at Scope Box or an external hardware scope. It’s not a slow computer but it also isn’t an HP z840, so take from that what you will. I went one frame at a time down the timeline and even once I stopped, the scopes continued to update.įor this review by the way, I am working on a Lenovo W550s mobile workstation that contains an Intel i7 2.6GHz processor (two cores, four threads), 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia Quadro 620M. I did notice some lag when playing a sequence (I tried both a 1080p and a 4K clip with the same results) - it seems to be a few frames. The newly updated Lumetri Scopes update live while playing a video clip or sequence. In previous versions of Premiere we had scopes, however they wouldn’t play in realtime, which if we are going to be honest really makes color correction difficult. The new color workspace and tools are referred to as the Lumetri Color panel and Lumetri Scopes. (After reading this breakdown you may ask yourself, “Will SpeedGrade be around much longer?” I’m really not sure if Adobe imagines Premiere to become more of a Resolve or not, but it seems like a logical progression.) Up next is Premiere’s addition of pseudo-live scopes and consolidated color tools directly inside of Premiere in the new Color workspace. While it’s really just a reimagining of preset workspaces, I think it really helps someone to jump right into using Premiere to its fullest abilities without having to fumble around finding where different windows are. You can delete, create or even modify existing workspaces if you like. They open common windows that make sense when working in certain modes like color correction. These are basic preset workspaces that actually work quite nice. The latest update to Premiere Pro has added some awesome preset “workspaces.” At the top is now a menu that gives you the options for different workspaces such as Editing, Effects and Color. It can open practically every video codec and resolution and decipher many XMLs or AAFs from other NLEs, coloring suites and VFX software packages. These days I use Premiere as the Swiss Army Knife in my post toolbox. Over the past couple of years that view has changed and the tool has not only gained traction, but, in my opinion, has started to pass the competition… in some aspects. In the past, Premiere had been thought of as the NLE in the back of the room, usable but never quite at the level of FCP or Avid. This is a great way to take advantage of current technology. Imagine if you are witnessing a beautiful sunset in Hawaii with great purples, reds and oranges - take a pic in Hue, choose those colors you like and later on, or immediately, apply it to your footage. This swatch can then be applied to footage in Premiere, Premiere clip or After Effects. Simply put, you take a picture with your iPhone or iPad in the Hue app (which is connected to your Adobe Creative Cloud login via the Libraries), and the app interprets the light and colors and creates a swatch. Something that really got me to bite on this Adobe update was the addition of the iOS app Hue. While you can share moving media in libraries, it’s just that…a library, not a way to share projects or sequences. However, this is one step in that direction, and I hope they will continue to evolve this concept to eventually work in an internally networked environment where teams of two or 50 can work on the same Premiere, After Effects or Speed Grade projects concurrently. These aren’t FCP X libraries or LightRoom libraries the new Creative Cloud libraries are basically a way to share common assets between Adobe apps, including their new iOS app Hue CC - I’ll get to that shortly.Ī big gap in Adobe Premiere’s data sharing offerings is the ability to rival Avid’s ISIS collaborative working environment, with sequences being worked on concurrently between teams of editors. One addition to the line-up that I think is very important to the future of the Creative Cloud ecosphere: Libraries. If you really want to see what the fuss is all about, go and update your Adobe apps, read this write up and get to playing…NOW! It features some heavy hitters in terms of offerings. The big update to the Adobe Video collection is here.
