It’s here! Adobe Premiere Pro users can finally edit GH5 10-bit files. As an early adopter to the camera and enjoying the 10-bit quality it has been a drag to have to transcode everything to edit. The wait is over my friends.

This is considered a critical update so it’s not just about the GH5 support. Stability and performance are also updated plus a lot of effects fixes. That is always a good thing.

New Media Cache Management

This is also a BIG deal. Adobe has fixed how those media cache files get deleted when you choose the option to have them purged on a timed basis.

“The most important change with 11.1.2 is addressing issues introduced with the Media Cache management feature (added in 11.1 and already updated with 11.1.1). While 11.1.1 restricted cache management preference to be applied to files within the Media Cache folder structure, 11.1.2 will only apply the preference to media cache files of a known file type (such as *.pek, *.ims and *.cfa). Only those files will be deleted according to the cache management preference. The folders they are in will remain on the system. Additionally, the Media Cache management will be off by default.”

Today we’re releasing an update for Premiere Pro CC 2017. The 11.1.2 update contains important bug fixes as well as performance improvements. It also adds support for the 10-bit formats of the Panasonic GH5. This is a critical update which is highly recommended for all users. You can install the update through the Creative Cloud desktop application, or you can check for new updates from within any Creative Cloud application by choosing Help > Updates. Please note that it can take 24 hours or more for all of our global data centers to receive the update. If the update isn’t available for you right now, please check back later.

Here’s the full list of improvements and issues addressed with 11.1.2:

Improvements to Graphics and Text editing workflows

Move and position a layer’s anchor more precisely with anchor point snapping: You can now snap the anchor point to the edges and center of the selected layer, as well as to interesting points on other graphic layers or the video frame itself.
