Adobe releases Windows on Arm versions of Premiere Pro and After Effects

Adobe releases Windows on Arm versions of Premiere Pro and After Effects

The Verge5 days ago
Adobe is finally releasing Windows on Arm versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, and Media Encoder this week. All four apps are available as public beta versions, but they do lack some features or have some known issues compared to the versions available for Intel-powered systems.
The native ARM64 version of Premiere Pro won't currently include support for third-party extensions, raw video files like ProRes, or the hardware-accelerated playback and export of H.264 and HEVC in MP4. Those are some big missing features that Adobe is looking to make available in a future release, but the company won't deliver the Loudness Radar effect, export to Wraptor DCP, import & export of GoPro CineForm content, or the export to the P2 Movie format in beta or final versions of Premiere Pro for Windows on Arm.
There are some known issues with Adobe After Effects for Windows on Arm, too. It also lacks ProRes support, alongside the inability to import or export ARRIRAW, SWF, GoPro CinePro, JPEG20000 in MXF, and WMV. Currently, you can't import MotionJPEG and MKV in the beta version of After Effects, and there's also no hardware-accelerated playback and export of H.264 and HEVC in MP4. Adobe notes that third-party plug-ins for After Effects will have to be updated for this Windows on Arm version, so there's no support for these just yet.
There are similar features missing from the native Windows on Arm version of Audition and Media Encoder, which are both also available in beta this week.
Adobe first released an Arm beta version of Photoshop for Windows in late 2020, but the company has taken far longer to get Premiere Pro and After Effects recompiled natively for ARM64. Owners of Qualcomm-powered Copilot Plus PCs have had to use the emulated version of Premiere Pro over the past year, which didn't have enough performance for more demanding video editing tasks.

Score! You can get 40% off Adobe Creative Cloud Pro today

There are plenty of back to school promos happening this month, but Adobe is offering a deal no other retailer can match. Through August 17, you can get a monthly Adobe Creative Cloud Pro subscription plan for $41.99/month at Adobe , which is 40% off the normal subscription price of $69.99/month. (The discount is applicable for 12 months). Alternatively, you can get 40% off a prepaid annual plan and pay $467.93/year (was $779.88/year). Note: The annual plan is $35 cheaper than opting for the monthly plan. (Make sure to check out our ultimate back to school guide for more deals). Adobe Creative Cloud is the ultimate content production platform, and with the inclusion of Firefly models for video, image and even vector art in Illustrator, it is also one of the best ways to experiment with generative AI. You can currently get the entire suite of more than a dozen apps and services for 40% off. You'll pay $41.99/month (was $69.99/month) over the span of 12 months. Or you can opt for 40% off an annual subscription and pay $467.93/year (was $779.88/year). Adobe is offering two ways to save with its latest sale. You can either get 40% off for a full year (when you opt for an annual plan) or you'll get 40% off your first 12 months when you opt for the monthly plan. Creative Cloud gives you access to Photoshop and Illustrator but also the full suite of Adobe creative products, 1,000 AI credits per month, fonts and 100GB of cloud storage. Now is a great time to invest in a Creative Cloud subscription as Adobe also has other models in the works built on Firefly including generative music, improved text rendering and one experiment that takes a photo of a poster and lets you recreate it with new details at the touch of a button using AI.

Google Home can't catch a break, as Routines widget vanishes

TL;DR One of the widgets offered by the Google app has been a shortcut for accessing your Home Routines. In the latest Google app beta, the Routine widget is no longer available. This loss arrives right in the middle of a growing period of Google Home frustration. If you're interested in putting together a particularly impressive smart home setup, Google Home's Routines are probably your best friend. While getting them configured can take a minute, especially if they involve dozens of devices (like all your lights), once established Routines make it a snap to trigger complex actions with just a single command. So far, Google has offered Home users a handy shortcut for controlling all those Routines in the form of a desktop widget. While it doesn't let you activate Routines directly from your home screen, it does offer a quick way to jump that list. Old list of widgets Old Routines widget New list without Routines While it could certainly be more full-featured, that was still a nice option to have, which is why we're a little concerned to see Google take it away. While looking through the latest beta release of the Google app for Android, we noticed that where the app used to offer four widgets and one shortcut, that count has now dropped to three — and it's the Routines widget that doesn't make the cut. Honestly, losing this isn't going to be the end of the world, but more than anything, maybe we're just disappointed about how this removal looks in the context of the ongoing frustrations surrounding Google Home. It really doesn't feel like it would have been that much more effort to give us a new-and-improved Routines widget with direct access to our most-used ones, but rather than be bothered to do that, Google just seems to be abandoning the whole thing. It's possible that that Google really does have a new version of this tool waiting in the wings — but then why not coordinate its debut to coincide with retiring the old look? We're also holding out hope that this is just some kind of beta oversight that may not show up in the final, public release of this build. Because when we look at this change right now, it really just feels like Home and its associated features are not a big priority. Follow

Figma sheds $11 billion in market value days after blockbuster IPO

By Chibuike Oguh NEW YORK (Reuters) -Shares of Figma slumped 23% on profit taking on Monday, as euphoria over the design software firm waned days after its blockbuster initial public offering. San Francisco, California-based Figma shares had scored a massive 250% gain during their market debut on Thursday when they were priced at $33 but finished at $115.50, giving the company a market capitalization of about $56.3 billion. Figma's market value closed at $59.5 billion on Friday after its shares rose 5.6% to $122. The shares traded as low as $92.75 on Monday, down 23%, reducing its market value to about $45.2 billion. "The excitement for Figma's business is not over, but the euphoria that's gone into its heady stock pricing seems to be deflating as those that wanted an early piece of the action bought in during market hours while some IPO recipients are probably taking sweet profits," said Michael Ashley Schulman, chief investment officer at Running Point Capital in Los Angeles. Founded in 2012 and led by CEO Dylan Field, Figma provides cloud-based collaborative design tools, with a roster of marquee clients including Alphabet, Microsoft, Netflix and Uber. Field owns about 54.2 million Figma shares worth about $5 billion after selling 2.35 million shares in the IPO. As is common in many Silicon Valley startups, Field retains 74.1% voting power over Figma given his holdings of Class B shares. Adobe had abandoned a $20 billion deal to acquire Figma in 2023 following antitrust pushback from regulators in Europe and the UK. "With Figma at a $46 billion market capitalization, Adobe's failed buyout offer must now seem like a distant memory," Schulman added.
