The Warp Stabilizer that was included in After Effects CS5.5 last year and that many people have come to love will be making a move this year.  Premiere CS6 will include this effective and easy tool to stabilize your shaky or jello ridden footage.  It is unknown whether or not the Warp Stabilizer will have any new features.

If you currently have Premiere and don’t have/use After Effects, would this be a feature that would get you to upgrade to or buy CS6?

If you’re not familiar with the Warp Stabilizer or need a reminder on how great it is, check out the video below:

Here is a sneak peek of CS6 from the post department at TeamCoCo:

“Dialogue search has generated more excitement amongst editors this year than any other new technology,” said Boris Yamnitsky, President and Founder of Boris FX.  “We are excited to expand our family of postproduction workflow solutions with Soundbite and we are dedicated to making it a standard part of every editor’s arsenal.”

With the new Boris Soundbite, video editors, producers, and journalists will be able to instantly play all occurrences of a spoken phrase in their media, then insert the perfect take into their Final Cut Pro project, organize clips around keywords, and even find replacement words for problematic audio.

“Leading editors already know that dialogue search saves time, reduces transcription costs, and lets them be more creative,“ said Drew Lanham, SVP/GM of Media for Nexidia. “By leveraging the development power and global reach of Boris FX, we’ll be able to bring a whole new generation of dialogue search to the Final Cut Pro community.”

Key Dialogue Search Features for Final Cut Pro

• Combine multiple phrases and standard Final Cut Pro metadata terms to search hundreds of hours of media in just seconds.

• Preview results in the Soundbite player. Soundbite will search and play virtually any media file supported in QuickTime.

• One click places selected clips into a Final Cut Pro project, including markers for each dialogue match and in/out points set in the Soundbite player.

• Multiple languages and dialects are supported, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Dutch.

If you need a monitor just for composing your shot when you can’t be on the viewfinder, i.e. your cam is on a jib, then this is perfect.  Since this can only take a SD component signal in, I wouldn’t recommend this for critical focus pulling.
