![]() The main thing I am missing is the source settings in the export window, which previously allowed you to crop and scale the output in different ways. I believe it might be more consistent with Premiere Rush’s UI, and may be similar to Resolve’s export options. One other feature Adobe has announced for Premiere Pro 2022, that hasn’t been released to the public version, is fully redesigned import and export windows, which consume the entire UI, for no apparent reason, and do not include all of the functionality of the previous approaches. They also added color management for XAVC files in SLog color space, and better support for Log files from Canon and Panasonic as well. This should allow processing of HDR content on much smaller and lighter systems than are currently required with the existing ProRes based HDR workflows. Adobe also added support for hardware accelerated decoding of 10 bit 4:2:2 HEVC files on new Intel CPUs, which is a new format for recording HDR content on high end DSLRs, that is not currently accelerated on NVidia or AMD GPUs. But now that has been resolved, opening up a whole host of new HDR workflow options. This was a huge hole in the existing HDR workflow, as Premiere could export HEVC and H.264 files of HDR content, but couldn’t import them or view them. HEVC and H.264 files are now color managed formats, which means that now Premiere correctly supports HDR files in those codecs. The new version 22 adds a number of other new functions: Other later improvements to version 15 throughout the year included more control over project item labels and colors in collaborative environments, HDR output on UI displays via DirectX, and automatic switching of audio devices to match the OS preferences. Last year’s version 15 release added a new approach to captions, which they have continued to flesh out with more automatic speech to text tools, and added better support for new titling options as well. The application I am most interested in is Premiere Pro. Unlike Adobe’s ridiculous move to redesign their applications icons to all look the same (so you can’t easily tell the difference between an AEP file and a Premiere Project), this broad consistency change seems like good idea to make it easier to track versions across time. Last year Premiere Pro 2021 was released, but it was version 15.0, while After Effects was 18.0. This will make the version numbers consistent across the different applications, and match the year that the release is associated with. ![]() One interesting thing worth noting in this regard is that their versioning of each video application is being incremented to version 22, regardless of the previous version. With this comes the release of new versions of many of their products. Adobe’s MAX creativity conference is being held online for the second year in a row this month.
