Premiere Pro CC 2018 (Version 12.0.1) - January Updates

In January 2018, Adobe released a new update to Adobe Premiere Pro CC (Version 12.0.1). While there are no major features introduced in version 12.0.1, there are, indeed, a nice bundle of improvements.

Patrick Palmer, S. Product Manager, at Adobe, notes that there are "several smaller features in this release which make a difference on tasks that can be tedious or time consuming (or both)." 

Examples of new improvements that Palmer refers to are: 

  • Support for new video footage formats, including footage by ARRI ALEXA Mini camera in MXF/ARRIRAW format and HEVC (H.265) codec footage in a QuickTime (.MOV) container, commonly created by an iPhone, iPhone or DJI Phantom 4 Drone.
  • Align and Distribute multiple graphics layers at once in the Essential Graphics Panel.

  • Faux styles now available in the Essential Graphics Panel. You can now make a font have the additional styles: All Caps, Small caps, Superscript, subscript, Faux Bold and Faux Italic. This is a feature that existed in the Legacy Titler Tool, but it is now making it's way back in the new panel.
