Adobe Creative Cloud 2015
Jun
Adobe this week unveiled Creative Cloud 2015, a major update for most of its products, including the popular After Effects and Premiere Pro post-production systems.
Premiere Pro CC 2015
The most noteworthy new developments at the publisher have been:
- The new Lumetri Color panel, which combines the tools and layout of SpeedGrade and Lightroom to allow users to perform more intuitive color corrections using sliders and other simple controls.
- The Morph Cut tool, which creates a slight transition to make the jump cuts of the interviews pass better.
After Effects CC 2015
As for Adobe’s compositing and VFX system, these are its new features:
- Uninterrupted Preview, which allows you to adjust the properties of a composition or even vary the size of panels without affecting playback.
- Character Animator is a new feature that, using a webcam, tracks facial movements and applies them in real time to a preconfigured 2D character. Here you have a tutorial, but in this link you have many more.
In addition to these two systems, there have been changes to Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Muse and others. Adobe Stock has also been launched, a content service integrated with creative software and giving access to some 40 million photographs, graphics and illustrations; and Creative Sync, which deepens the connections between desktop and mobile applications (iOS and Android), intelligently synchronizing photos, colors, settings, metadata, etc.
Creative Cloud 2015 updates are now available at no additional cost for those who are already members. Adobe recommends its users to disable the option that removes previous versions before installing the new one, as you can see in this video.

The Red Giant company has been quick, the same day of the launch they announced that the products of their 5 collections are already compatible with After Effects and Premiere, with the exception of:
- Trapcode Soundkeys with After Effects
- PluralEyes Connector for Mac
- Image Lounge in After Effects
You can read more about the resulting bugs in the software in Red Giant’s press release.
