CC Version 1.6.0.393 released on 05/27/2014

• You can now install older versions of Adobe products straight from Creative Cloud Desktop. These are installed side-by-side with existing versions.

....

If you want to be among the first to know what's next for Adobe Creative Cloud, you might want to highlight June 18th, 1PM Eastern on your calendar. That's when Adobe will reveal "the next evolution of Creative Cloud."

Huh, stood there yesterday (Wednesday) right where the camera-operator was standing for this vid ... with a different dude interviewing the same Adobe staffer standing right there ... but this time the camera was just at my left shoulder so the background for the interview would actually be the Adobe event area. Strange to watch this one now ...

Yea, talking with the staffers there it's going to be nice with some of the new toys we've got ... and they all were coy but quite forward commenting there's some newer stuff coming in not too long. Don't know what but they were sure I/we would like it.

And the beat goes on ... back home to work in the stuff Friday.

The Master Clip Effect setting (I assume it's going to be toggle-able) will be very handy for some edits. Having better tracking inside of Premiere will be very useful as well. And for people who do a lot of lower thirds, having editable text for AE comps will be very nice.

I'm very curious to hear more about the DCP export implementation in Media Encoder. If it can generate compliant DCPs for no added cost, that seems like a pretty big deal to me.

And for AE, the better spill suppression and key repair look great for hair detail etc., so long as it doesn't necessitate a lot of futzing with multiple keys (for hair, for torso, etc). The daily greenscreen work I do for the web tends to be too fast of a turnaround to really get into multiple keys as a matter of course.

Only major bummer is it appears they haven't done anything more to implement the CDNG RAW files from the BMPCC, or having Camera RAW tools within Premiere.

I got sick of bug-testing Adobe CC Beta releases and downgraded to CS5.5. Photoshop 5/ACR 6.7 works with RAW photo file formats up through GH2, Canon 5D Mk3, Nikon D5100, and Nikon D800, so don't expect me to buy any new DSLR's, until the day they all start using DNG.

For some reason the PrPro to SG link doesn't work for me. Always crashes on the SG splash screen. I've yet to find out why. I'm running an i7 24GB on Win7. GPU is a GTX295, which is older but still comparable to a 670 in performance. If anyone has any advice it would be appreciated.

Cheers

@SuperSet

the integration PrPro/Sg is much better. I'm not going to say it's a perfect one for every machine, but ... it's working pretty good for many of us. I'm finding it wonderfully simple ... decide I want to grade something, take it over to Sg, work a bit ... pop it back to PrPro and keep working.

There are (as noted above) a few caveats ... you have to make "adjustment layers" in PrPro to use them as grading layers over in Sg (as Sg isn't allowed to add timeline stuff to a PrPro project) and you need to do manual save-as iterations while working during a 'linked' session in Sg as there is no auto-save during a linked session.

But ... it is working quite well for me, and I know many others. I haven't done anything in Sg "native" in a couple months, except once just to check something for someone on the forum.

@rNeil I like the idea of same shortcuts - it seems like a natural extension of CC concept. I like the Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly the ability to edit in Premiere, and go into Audition for audio and now Speedgrade for color grading. I know some object to pricing and rental concept, but it works for me. Audition roundtrip quite smooth and it's an easy program to learn. Its quite powerful for a lot things and has worked well for us on current project.

@matt_gh2 ... I'm a picky precise dude who's made a living from stills for over 30 years, just getting into this DAMN (but ... incredibly addictive!) video "thing" ... realizing he's a total jerk noob ... and hitting the forae out there to learn as much as I can as fast as I can. What one takes, one should give when one can, right?

I'm living on the handouts of others (professionally speaking) right now. I'd better damn well give out when I can, right? :-)

@matt_gh2 ... interesting, I'd not noted that none of the Lumetri "looks" listed in PrPro is shown as 32-bit. They're all YUV which I'd been told basically means they're about fine anywhere. After of course a whole lot of technical discussion which I can track at the moment but don't bother to store in the brain. At any rate, I haven't heard anyone having problem with the way they render out. There have been problems when people have had either purchased/custom looks/LUT's that worked within Sg but didn't show up on the footage back in PrPro. I've had that happen once, and was able to copy the specific custom look into the folder that holds all the PrPro native LUT's and it was "there" and used.

Yes ... new item, adjustment layer. Sorry, didn't mention that specifically.

Cool - thanks a lot. Will test now.
