NAB 2014: Adobe is updating all the video apps in Creative Cloud, including Premiere Pro and After Effects.

New Premiere Pro features will include Live Text Templates to let users edit text within After Effects CC compositions directly in Premiere Pro CC.

There will also be the facility to autosave to Creative Cloud for automated backup of projects.

A new masking and tracking feature will provide accurate masks that follow subjects and blur out faces and logos.

New After Effects CC features include keying effects to provide better keying results with compressed footage.

Also, Typekit integration with Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC provides users with access to a library of fonts worth £18,000 to be used on the desktop

Other updates include a more flexible direct link colour pipeline between Premiere Pro and grading application SpeedGrade CC.

In addition, the new Master Clip effect in Premiere Pro and SpeedGrade changes the effects applied to original clips and ripples down through all instances of the clip.

Sound editing tool Audition CC is to introduce support for Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, making it easier to create deliverables for broadcast, along with enhanced multitrack and custom channelisation.

Prelude CC, Adobe’s ingest and logging app, introduces a Tag Panel, aiming to speed up shot logging by allowing users to create one-click, colour-coded tags.
