to get you up to speed as quickly and painlessly as possible. The video tracks are represented by a series of thumbnails and audio shows you the sound's waveform, like Premiere and Audition. But, unlike other lightweight editing software, you can add up to four video and three audio layers for titles, keys, and music/effects tracks. They pop in automatically as you add titles and audio tracks. Titles can be simple text or any Motion Graphic template provided with the program, downloaded from Adobe Stock or created in After Effects or Premiere Pro. It means that you can add a lot of class to a casual shoot and, if you're a pro, your unique look and branding is always with you. The workflow has been simplified for mobile, as well. You first organize your clips as thumbnails and Rush will set them up in a timeline for you to trim, correct, and add transitions. Color and exposure correction is with Lightroom-like controls, now so popular in Premiere Pro. You'll also be able to bring in color look-up tables (LUTs) that you've created in Premiere, if there's a unique look you want to maintain or special lighting situation you often find yourself in. It can work with media that you've just captured or have stored on your device, or bring material in from your Creative Cloud Library or Adobe Stock. Like Premiere Pro, Rush will be pretty much format agnostic and should be smart enough at handling the load to give you smooth editing regardless of the source files. Rush's soundtrack's are super smart. The program will recognize them as voice, music or ambient sound and help with the mixdown with Audition-like intelligence. It has the same Sensei-based auto-duck feature as Premiere and Audition to keep music and background sounds in check under the dialog. Going Social Naturally, sharing to social media is the goal, and Rush will have this in hand for you as well. Not only will it connect directly to the popular social platforms and upload with a single click, you'll be able to schedule the uploads if there's a certain time you want your video to drop. The desktop version will sport a similar interface, but more of the tools and controls visible, taking advantage of the larger screen. If you want to take your Rush project even further, your Creative Cloud Pro apps will be able to bring it in with all your presets migrating to the Pro app. (That's a one-way street, however. You won't be able to send it back to Rush.) Adobe didn't tell us exactly when Project Rush will be released for everyone, but it is inviting users to apply for the beta program at adobe. com/go/project-rush. Though we don't know quite when it will happen, video for social media is about to get very interesting. Will it be as good as it sounds? There's no need to rush to judgement—Adobe has been pretty good about delivering on what it promises. For more information, visit www.adobe.com/go/project-rush 86 MacDirectory FEATURE
