Not Just Talk Like ramps replacing stairs and curbs, universal access has been the source of many benefits to the able-bodied as well as the disabled. This has proven the case with captioning, as well. In a lot of applications, its required by law. But according to a recent survey by Verizon Media and ad-buyer Publicis Media, 80% or more of consumers are watching video content with the sound off and captions on. In the latest public beta, Adobe Premiere Pro sports the most robust set of captioning tools available in any video editing application. This includes built-in online speech-to-text conversion for all Creative Cloud subscribers. It supports thirteen languages and uses Adobe Sensei AI to pace the timing with the video. In the beta, captioning now has its own timeline and text-editing window. The edit window loads the timeline with the captions. An added benefit for editors is that you can use the transcript to navigate the footage. If you want to find where a particular word was spoken, just double-click it in the edit panel. The playhead will jump to that point. If you happen to be looking for a particular reference in a 90-minute Zoom recording, this is a true godsend. How Premiere handles title graphics has changed dramatically over the years. To help you take advantage of all the new capabilities, Premiere beta adds an Upgrade Legacy Titles feature to bring them up to date as true Source Graphics. And the beta introduces even more new titling features with multiple shadows for a title and more sophisticated tools for backgrounds. And watch out, Tektronix! Premiere beta’s vectorscope displays I full color! You no longer have to squint at the graticule to see where the problem is. The under-the-hood team for Adobe Premiere Pro have been hard at work as well. The M1 version of the program now clocks in at 80% faster than the Intel version, the improvement being obvious on the M1 MacBook Air this article is being written on.
