Larry Jordan has an excellent article on the new Adobe Prelude CS6 for ingesting and logging footage.

I knew it was for logging and even cutting a rough assembly, but didn't realize it could export to either Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro 7. Very cool.

And it sounds like the biggest issue is the lack of ProRES presets for Media Encorder, which I always found odd, but not hard to create for oneself.

Larry also offers a complete 2 hour tutorial on how to use Prelude at his site.

PluralEyes has released a connector Plug In for Plural Eyes so it can launched from within Premiere Pro CS6.

You can download it here. For Both Mac and Windows.

Nice, can't wait to try it out.

At Adobe TV they have a 60 minute video on what is new in Adobe Photoshop CS6. Worth checking out.

Had some install issues. Had to restart after install though it never said anything about that, then photoshop would not write preferences, nor would After Effects until I went into my library folder and made sure to change all permissions so I could read and write. Not hard, though made harder by the Library folder being hidden in Lion (the stupidest thing ever in my opinion).

All working now, but need to learn about the new features.

I have posted the following to the Adobe Forums and hope to get a response soon:


I am trying to open my current Premiere Pro CS 5.5 project within Premiere Pro CS6, but am getting the following error message:



The preset used by one or more sequences requires third party components that could not be located.

This was a project that was imported from Final Cut Pro 7 originally, but the only 3rd party stuff used in it are Magic Bullet Suite plug ins and I have already installed them all.

I can't even see if this project has CUDA acceleration anymore, as it is set to Custom Sequence and greyed out.

Any ideas what I can do?

Scott Simmons over at the Pro Video Coalition has a list of 10 things Final Cut Pro editors might miss in Premiere Pro 6.

The biggest here for me is selective past and remove attributes which I use all the time in FCP and it will be an adjustment for sure.

Still all livable changes, just have to get used to it.

MacStories has a good review of the strange new Adobe Collage iOS app, which allows you to make collages and share them on your adobe cloud drive.

This Adobe Document shows what the actual deal is with the Adobe Touch apps and Adobe Creative Suite.

Basically if you buy any 3 of the following apps, and then log in with your Adobe Account you get a free month of Adobe Cloud.

• Photoshop Touch for Android
• Adobe Ideas for Android
• Adobe Collage for Android
• Adobe Proto for Android
• Adobe Debut for Android Adobe Kuler for Android
• Photoshop Touch for iOS
• Adobe Ideas for iOS
• Adobe Collage for iOS
• Adobe Proto for iOS

So if you purchased it is time to download or time to try the free 30 day trial. Looking forward to seeing what new apps or previews come out to keep it worthwhile over just getting the Master Suite or Production Bundle.

An awesome remote control cable control Aircam for GoPro cameras has it's project up on Kickstarter. A $375 Pledge will get you one.


This looks very cool, and so reasonably priced, though the $75,000 might be a lot to expect to raise. Still a very cool project.

And for a bit more you can get a tripod attachement for the remote head. Very cool!

Another must have free download from Video2Brain.

Topp Kopriva has a video on After Effects CS6 new features over at Video2Brain.

Re: Vision Effects has released updates to all of it's plug ins to support Adobe CS6 After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Personally I can't live without Twixtor and ReelSmart Motion Blur, so these are welcome updates.

I hope you continue to enjoy the blog.

Still will likely be going down for a period of at least a month and maybe more coming up as I have open heart surgery, and will not be able to do much with my arms until my sternum heals and really can't sit in front of a computer. At least it will give time for my carpel tunnel which has been acting up to heal a bit.

Check it out at her blog. She looks at the Mercury Graphics engine, Camera Raw 7, Photographic Blur Effects, and straightening with Adaptive Wide Angle, as well as new type styles, shape Layers and the new Crop Tool. Worth checking out.
