At the NAB Show in Las Vegas this week, Adobe demonstrated its new version of Creative Suite 6 (CS6).
Pricing has not been announced, and the company was vague about the release date, other than to say it would be ready during the first half of 2012.
The suite includes Premiere Pro video editor, After Effects motion graphics effect generator, Photoshop image editor, Audition sound editor and mixer, and additional tools for disc authoring, media encoding, script development, production scheduling, color grading and more.
“The biggest updates to existing apps come to Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop,” reports PCMag. “CS6 Premiere Pro gets a redesigned and simplified user interface, with large view for the source and preview video at top left and right. The interface is still highly customizable, and you can even switch back to its previous layout and add and remove buttons to taste.”
“Clips can now be skimmed through with the cursor, a la Apple’s iMovie, and you can mark rough in and out edits right in the clip thumbnails,” explains the article. “Markers also get more power, with color coding; comments and durations can now be assigned to them, as well. A new trim mode shows both the outgoing and incoming frames, and there’s lots more keyboard shortcut support (10 assignable) for trims and trim modes. Effects can now be applied to multiple clips using layers and masks, not unlike in Photoshop.”
