As many of my fellow Adobe users, I am eagerly awaiting the big 4.1 update. Any news?
View Full Version : CS4 Update 4.1 Devon Lyon May 28th, 2009, 09:33 AM As many of my fellow Adobe users, I am eagerly awaiting the big 4.1 update. Any news? Eric Addison May 28th, 2009, 01:38 PM We're all waiting...eagerly waiting... Todd Clark May 28th, 2009, 05:25 PM Here is a video showing the new features of 4.1... http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f1510v1005 Lloyd Coleman May 29th, 2009, 06:33 AM I'm downloading it now. Dan Burnap May 29th, 2009, 10:12 AM Had it installed for a short while. A quick play reveals: 1) lots of new AVCHD presets 2) The timewarp effect works (doesnt turn the applied clip back) 3) My Core 2 Duo 2.4 seems to play a AVCHD clip (1080/30p) for longer (a few seconds) before grinding to a stuttering halt. Devon Lyon May 29th, 2009, 11:20 AM I am out of town on a shoot, so am very interested in any additional feedback. My two main interests in the new update are: 1. New Red workability as we shoot projects regularly on the RED. I like the current ability to work with the RED files without transcode, but this update is supposed to make it easier. 2. We shoot a fair amount of Panasonic footage with the AVC-Intra 100 codec. I had read that at NAB Adobe was showing the update working with AVC-Intra 100 natively. Has anyone tested this? Eric Addison May 29th, 2009, 03:12 PM There's no AVC-Intra support in this release. I was told, and shown, that too at NAB, but I guess it must not be ready yet. Paul R Johnson May 30th, 2009, 10:50 AM I was told that, but after upgrading there is a drop down box that has avc-intra as a file type option. That said, I could only find one file on the net, which brought up a file may be damage/wrong format message - so I don't know? Devon Lyon May 31st, 2009, 05:06 PM So bummed about the apparent lack of AVC-Intra support in the 4.1 update. I will double check in the morning, but I am fairly certain Jan from Panasonic confirmed this on another industry blog. Here is to hoping that the AVC-Intra update will happen sometime soon as they were using it at NAB. Please Adobe. If there are any Adobe guys reading this thread, would you mind commenting? Paul R Johnson June 1st, 2009, 04:01 AM I can confirm that despite the drop down menus detailing different avc-intra file formats - it doesn't work. Checked on some net files AND the ones Jan sent me. I can live with NO avc-intra, but letting you think it's there but not working wastes so much time. Javier Gallen June 1st, 2009, 04:41 AM I've been testing in my laptop and is all good news. Now it has a performance that generally matchs (and in some aspects outperforms) Cs3. Now we're talking :) |
