Creative Cloud NAB 2014 Reveal: Sneak peeks of what's coming

CS5 Evolves: Warp Stabilizer + Red Epic so far

This is the eve of the next step in the evolution of the Adobe CS suites, as indicated in Adobe messages around the internet last week. Adobe has kept things fairly quiet on Twitter since yesterday, but they had previewed a couple of sneak peeks for After Effects on a Warp Stabilizer and Adobe Red Epic support.

On the Red forum, David McGavran of Adobe mentioned that Epic support for Premiere, After Effects, and Adobe Media Encoder, which works like other Red footage (with mixed timelines) and includes Red Rocket support.

And you may have seen the preview for Warp Stabilizer, but Chris Meyer added a first look based on personal experience, Updated: Adobe Warp Stabilizer (P)Review. There's also a technical  backgrounder from the research team, including video, in Subspace Video Stabilization. Warp Stabilizer seems amazingly easy to use and even eliminates some rolling shutter problems, but it won't perform miracles like getting rid of motion blur in hand held footage.

The countdown has commenced and news from NAB will be coming fast & thick very soon. Among the many news resources is dedicated coverage from ProVideo Coalition and FreshDV. FreshDV has a video backgrounder on their workflow up already.

Warp Stabilizer: CS5 getting better (April 11?)

Here's a sneak peek at Warp Stabilizer a preview of new way to stabilize shaky footage in After Effects. After Effects Facebook says "It's a peek at CS5 getting better. For more information, come see us at NAB or stay tuned to this channel. More to come soon."

Adobe TV has a channel for other recent technology sneak peeks.

Update: Never say never... something new shows up from NAB... at the very end of an interview with David Basalto for Post, AE product manager Michael Coleman doesn't promise nodes but admits to creative ideas in the hopper that might satisfy the desire for nodes.

Fxguide TV interviews on AE and Premiere CS5

See Particular 2 in action with Fxguide at NAB +ToonIt 2

Fxguide has news from NAB, and their coverage of Autodesk, The Foundry (Nuke, also PVC on Nuke), RED, eyeon, and other higher end products might make you envious -- especially if you'd like more development of 3D in AE (see esp podcast #054) . More NAB news can be found via the headlines of CrispyFeeds.

The current fxguidetv video podcast, #055 is NAB2009 episode 2, which has a nice long demo of Trapcode Particular 2, a preview by The Foundry of a project that fixes material with rolling shutter, and more.

Update: FreshDV also looks at rolling shutter in an interview with a developer from the Foundry, via Discrete Cosine. And in addition to FreshDV's CrispyFeeds, The Editblog suggests also Mac Video and Mac Break for NAB video.

Update 2: FreshDV has video demos from NAB 2009 Video - Red Giant Particular 2 and ToonIt 2.

Here's a sneak peak technology preview presented by product manager for Adobe Production Premium, Hart Shafer. It's better viewed elsewhere since the embed code only allows resizes the viewing area of the player not the video:

Million dollar look on $1000 budget

There's video of the NAB Super Session "Million Dollar Look on a Thousand Dollar Budget" which included Stu Maschwitz and others (background on Production Values):

Tim Robbins' NAB keynote speech

Tim Robbins' NAB keynote speech was funny and serious, and criticized the broadcast industry focus on fluff. Robbins could be wrong -- maybe we aren't better than that!

Anyway, there are various versions of the speech available now:

- AR&D's Media Reinvent shot a big screen on a $100 Flip camera.
- Tim posted audio and text on Huffington Post.
- Ad Age has audio in Hear the Six Best Minutes of Tim Robbins' Controversial NAB Speech.

Robbins had much more to say than Ad Age gives you, but they do hint at background details. Lost Remote gave more background in a live-blog.

Update: There a few more... Broadcasting & Cable has an article and the mp3, and TV Worth Watching has more.

NAB video reports

FreshDV has some nice video reports from NAB on Adobe, Apple, Avid, and other products. Digital Reporter surveys other coverage; plus TWiM, Fxguide, Digital Production Buzz on iTunes.

Update: General Specialist now has a fuller NAB reports list with complete links, including the Adobe show with a bit of that ol' Balmer magic! The reports and podcasts will continue to trickle in for a bit as attendees recover.
