At the IBC 2018 conference in Amsterdam, Adobe is unveiling new video features coming to Creative Cloud to speed up production timelines, enable more seamless workflows, and deliver other powerful capabilities to bring creative vision to fruition. The updates include Adobe Sensei AI-powered animation, intelligent audio cleanup tools, selective color grading, advanced data-driven motion graphics templates and end-to-end VR 180 support. These new features will enable filmmakers and video professionals to spend more time shaping their next creative project, and less time on repetitive tasks. It’s all summarized on lovely PDFs IBC 2018 Datasheet and What’s New.

You can tune-in to Facebook Live with Jason Levine on September 13 at 9 am PT to hear more about the upcoming release.

Here’s a few highlights, with more at product blog links:

After Effects CC (AE team blog has a few extra specifics)
After Effects will introduce new Mesh Sculpting tools for shaping and molding surfaces, new authoring features for Motion Graphics templates, easier Expressions-driven animation workflows, and across-the-board performance improvements. 3D channel effects now work on AE layers. Depth Passes or 3D Channel effects now work on regular AE layers. Mocha AE tracking is now internal, as a GPU-accelerated plug-in. Expressions could be up to 5 times faster.







Premiere Pro CC
The next release of Premiere Pro will offer additional performance improvements, streamlined workflows for motion graphics, innovative Selective Color Grading, intelligent audio cleanup tools from Adobe Audition, end-to-end 180 VR production, Display Color Management, and more.

Adobe Audition CC (team blog)
New Intelligent Audio Cleanup features include DeReverb and DeNoise effects that let you dial down reverb or background noise. A comprehensive multitrack makeover offers improved performance with large projects and new one-click session management, Zoom-to-Time presets, and more.




Character Animator CC (team blog)
Most of the animation action is happening outside of After Effects. You can bring original art into Character Animator with the new Characterizer feature that lets you turn face picts into an animated character. Use slider controls to adjust the level of stylization and fine-tune regions and facial expressions to get desired results faster. Work more easily with new Replays, Magnets, additional setups, and more.




Introducing Project Rush
Extend your editing platform with Project Rush, a new cross-device app that lets you create and share professional-quality video, including simplified color, audio, and motion graphics. A shared architecture means you can open native Project Rush projects in Premiere Pro when you need to take your work to the next level. Currently in beta, Project Rush will be available later this year. Apply to join the Project Rush beta — to find out if it’s a toy!
