Adobe Immersive Environment<\/a>. This is one of my favorite things because, when you work with VR, most editors are viewing it on a flat screen and you\u2019re seeing a \u201cmagic window\u201d of what you would see through the [VR] headset but it\u2019s not truly immersive. So editors end up having to put on a headset, see how it looks, take it off, work more on the project, and then repeat. It\u2019s disorienting and easily distracting.<\/p>\nWith the Adobe Immersive Environment, we\u2019ve started to represent the editing environment inside the headset. It\u2019s not full editing controls because we don\u2019t think people want to edit in the headset, but it gives you visual cues about where you are in your project and allows you to start having that deeper connection with what you\u2019re editing, not just what the experience is. That starts to make the whole process faster and make those decisions better.<\/p>\n
We are really excited to show that on the floor because it\u2019s the first of its kind, and I think it\u2019s something people are really going to enjoy using. It transforms the way people edit VR content.<\/p>\n
What else is new in the Adobe Premiere Pro reveal at IBC 2017?
\n<\/strong>We\u2019ve made a ton of new investments in Premier. One that people have been most excited about in this reveal is the ability for multiple editors to access a single project simultaneously. Since the 1.0 version, Premier has handled one open project at a time. And, while we\u2019ve had methods to bring in content and sequences from other projects, it wasn\u2019t as elegant as people were looking for. In this release, we\u2019ve added the capacity to have multiple projects open at the same time, which means you can sift through your sequences and bins and get your content exactly the way you want it quicker.<\/p>\nTeam Projects also continues to improve and become an even more solid offering, and the \u201cbeta\u201d tag will be shed sometime very soon, which is obviously very exciting for us. Some of our beta customers have been college sports organizations, and we see a real future there. It gives you more visibility into who is editing with you, and it improves the version-control [function] to make it more visible right in the UI.<\/p>\n
We are also adding the ability to do Shared Projects. So, instead of Team Projects, where it\u2019s cloud-based editing, these are Shared Projects within an onsite environment. Shared Projects allows you to lock a project when you\u2019re working on it, then unlock it to notify someone else they can work on that project. This is how we see people working in serial collaboration, specifically in Hollywood; it\u2019s a big feature request there, so we\u2019re really excited to roll that out.<\/p>\n
In the half decade Creative Cloud has been around, Adobe has dramatically boosted production teams\u2019 multi-site collaborative-workflow capabilities. How are you seeing collaborative workflows evolve in the sports-production market specifically?
\n<\/strong>It really comes down to how your organization works, and, let\u2019s face it, sports organizations are often large and have to create a lot of content from different [locations]. Some organizations aren\u2019t comfortable having cloud-connected systems like Team Projects, and, for those, the serial collaboration of Team Projects will work beautifully. But, for most people in sports, I think the elegance and fluidity of Team Projects is a huge win. The ability to have collaborators using not only Premiere but also After Effects and Prelude makes media production faster, more seamless. With the notifications that someone\u2019s completed and what\u2019s been done in each copy, it can make even remote teams work more effectively together. And, when turnaround times are tight, like they always are in sports, that can really be the difference.<\/p>\nOne of the big themes at IBC this year is the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning. How is Adobe leveraging its Sensei Platform to integrate AI into Creative Cloud?
\n<\/strong>Adobe\u2019s making a big investment in using artificial intelligence to make information discoverable, to make tedious tasks easier, improve the user, and give users power to do more in less time. That is playing out here at the show in a couple of different ways.<\/p>\nWe\u2019ve added an auto-ducking feature in Audition, which allows you to quickly align or adjust the volume of your audio bed where there is voiceover automatically. One of the other places it\u2019s showing up is in Character Animator, which is a tool that allows you to quickly and easily create 2D animation. The Simpsons<\/em> used it recently on an episode where Homer Simpson was answering live questions from the audience at the end. We have added the ability to automatically respond to face-tracking information to get mouth shape and lip sync correct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adobe used IBC 2017 to tease features and upgrades that will debut in Premier Pro CC 2018.
