Adobe Story update: new and changed features

Adobe Story update: new and changed features (15March2012) http://t.co/UwR7Nay7

The entire Adobe Story workflow – from script to screen – is a great story of its own, and I feel somewhat undersold by Adobe.

There’s a mini-site for the software and a bunch of tutorials at Adobe TV. If you’re unfamiliar with Adobe Story:

Extend the benefits of your Creative Suite applications

Streamline your post-production workflow by using script metadata to edit more quickly in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5.

1. Access directly within Adobe Premiere Pro

Use the CS Live services panel in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 to go to Adobe Story and quickly access your scripts and outlines.

2. Accelerate your editing workflow

Import script metadata directly into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and easily search for important video elements such as dialogue or characters.

3. Edit more efficiently

In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, use the script dialogue embedded in your shots to align the script to the spoken dialogue more accurately.

4. Capture metadata efficiently

Use Adobe OnLocationâ„¢ or Adobe Premiere Pro to add script metadata to your clips.

  1. Philip,
    You feel undersold in what sense? Like the Adobe Story workflow is so great they should be pushing it more than they are or Adobe is over-hyping it and it’s not really that good?

      Almost no-one knows about Adobe story and how useful it is in editing. Adobe undersells it completely.

    It’s one of the few Adobe features I wish Apple would replicate in FCPX. Of course FCPX is still very young but the FCPX metadata mindset says to me that Apple has to be thinking of some interesting implementations.

      Apple have a long way to go to match up with Adobe’s workflow – at least for scripted. I think Prelude is an attempt to get early metadata entry for non-scripted shows, but it’s not released yet so the full details are still obscure.

      We have some interesting ideas for early and easy metadata entry for http://www.thesolarodyssey.com/ trip that I’ll be sharing as we go. Pretty awesome if I immodestly say so. 🙂

    Does Story exist as a full installable version for work offline – or does it only work online?

    1. Philip

      There are two versions of Story – one that works inside a browser and generally requires online access. The other is an Adobe Air application and is fully functional outside the browser and offline. (Obviously you can’t work collaboratively, nor will synching work, while you’re offline, but it syncs when next online).
