Adobe revealed new and changed features in the forthcoming updates to the CC 2015 professional video and audio applications, including Premiere Pro. With this next release, Premiere Pro expands on its exceptional support for UltraHD, 4K and beyond workflows with new, native support for HEVC (h.265), DNxHR, and OpenEXR media, for both encode and decode, allowing editors to edit and deliver any format they need to.
The intuitive Color Workspace featuring the Lumetri Color Panel, designed to let editors to be creative with color without needing to work in a complex grading application, will be further enhanced with initial support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) workflows. With a supported external HD monitoring system, RAW camera formats and OpenEXR media, alongside the Dolby Vision mezzanine codec, can be edited and graded with much greater dynamic range than conventional video, by using powerful but intuitive HDR controls. And new HDR scopes will give editors precise feedback on their creative decisions. Adobe is also adding the Lumetri effect to After Effects, ensuring color fidelity between Premiere Pro and After Effects
New Premiere Pro will also provide touch support for Windows hybrid touch devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro, and improved gestural support using Apple Force Touch track pads. The addition of GPU-optimized Optical Flow Time Remapping will let you get smooth slow motion and speed ramps you want even when you haven't shot at ultra high frame rates, and will provide significantly improved frame-rate conversion. And there are large improvements coming to the Adobe Stock workflow, which will let you search, try out and license any of the 45-million high quality royalty-free images through the Adobe Stock service built right into the Creative Cloud Libraries panel in Premiere Pro, as well as After Effects.
The new Adobe Media Encoder will include Destination Publishing to Facebook, expanded support for UHD formats, improved image sequence workflows (new Watch Folder support for OpenEXR), Automatic Loudness correction, and more.
