![]() ![]() Skimming is more than just a quick (and nice) way to scrub footage, it’s also designed into the new way you edit in an FCPX timeline. Hover ScrubĮveryone is going to say that Premiere Pro CS6’s great Hover Scrub feature is just a rip-off of Final Cut Pro X’s skimming. I was able to test both Blackmagic and AJA products and performance was quite good with the beta drivers (much better than broadcast monitoring in Final Cut Pro X). This is now built into a universal preference that works for the application and not for a sequence. Gone are the days of having to pick a 3rd party sequence preset to view edits on an external client monitor and gone are the days when playback randomly stops and performance is such that it is unusable. See that image above? That is a total revamp of how Premiere Pro CS6 handles broadcast monitoring and third party video hardware support. Oh, and things seemed pretty stable while I’ve been using it. I think that’s fine as I want to see all the NLEs rip off and expand upon useful features from the others as long as they continue to innovate as well. Some might call certain Premiere Pro CS6 features a rip off of its rivals. Adobe is also looking to make Premiere Pro the “Photoshop of video.” That’s a very lofty goal but one they now seriously focused on with Premiere Pro CS6. Adobe is looking squarely at its competitors for some of these features. Not just things that will make life easier but big product improvements overall. There’s a couple of big additions that is going to make working with Premiere Pro much better. ![]() Please forgive some wonkieness on PVC if you’re not seeing certain images as we’ve been having some server issues recently that they are working to fix. Here’s my top 5 (or so) features in Premiere Pro CS6 and a couple of comments on what is still missing. It isn’t perfect (no NLE is perfect) but it’s a lot better than 5.5 … and 5.5 was pretty good itself. Overall, Adobe continues to make Premiere Pro a better product that will let you “ edit your way“. While there’s big additions and changes in the entire Creative Suite my first and main focus was to see just how Premiere Pro has changed, what new features have been added and what hasn’t been addressed as of yet. It isn’t shipping yet but I’ve been able test out some of the CS6 products for a few weeks now. The cat is out of the bag on the Adobe CS6 Production Premium.
