At the IBC 2018 conference in Amsterdam, Adobe unveiled new video features for Creative Cloud to speed up production timelines, enable more seamless workflows, and deliver other powerful capabilities to bring creative vision to fruition. The updates include Adobe Sensei AI-powered animation, intelligent audio cleanup tools, selective color grading, advanced data-driven motion graphics templates and end-to-end VR 180 support. These new features will enable filmmakers and video professionals to spend more time shaping their next creative project, and less time on repetitive tasks.

It’s all summarized on lovely PDFs, IBC 2018 Datasheet and What’s New.

With Important information on GPU-acceleration with CUDA and Apple Metal, Adobe posted information that Mac and Windows users need to know about the GPU acceleration support changes coming to Premiere Pro. And don’t forget the Upcoming Changes to OS Support for the Adobe video and audio apps.

Premiere Rush
Adobe wants you to extend your editing platform with Premiere Rush, a new cross-device app that lets you create and share professional-quality video, including simplified color, audio, and motion graphics. A shared architecture means you can open native Project Rush projects in Premiere Pro when you need to take work to a more competent toolset. Rush is free for Creative Cloud and single app Premiere subscribers, or $10/month. It seems to be easy to use, and comes with a guided quick start tutorial using videos from Adobe.

Mike Russell has 7 tutorials on this new app, while imagingresource doesn’t there’s a rush to jump in quite yet.
