Adobe has announced a series of updates to its Creative Cloud video editing apps at the IBC show. Premiere Pro will have a “Direct Link” to the Speedgrade color grading app. It will also have:

“Native file format support for Cinema DNG, Sony RAW, Phantom Cine, improved MJPG from Canon 1DC, Sony XAVC Long GOP, Panasonic AVC Ultra (Long GOP), 64 bit ProRes decoding (Mac OS X 10.8 or higher only), and support for exporting XAVC up to 4K and AVCi200 is included, and Cinema DNG can be debayered on a supported GPU for even better performance. For the highest resolution, RED Dragon 6K is also natively supported, with full RED color science built-in.”

• Captions in QuickTime movies can be read regardless of the video codec.
• Caption files with a *.dfxp filename extension can be imported.
• Camera angles in Multicam source sequences can display camera angles as track names or clip names.
