Adobe Creative Cloud to Release Premiere Pro CC 2014.1

Adobe released an update to its subscription-based Creative Cloud called version "2014.1".

The apps updated include Premiere Pro, After Effects, Prelude, SpeedGrade, Audition, Media Encoder and more.

Here are some features that I find interesting.

User Interface color can now be changed... though mostly shades of grey.
New codec support for GoPro Cineform and BlackMagic 4K Raw DNG... so if you are getting an Action Camera, it's nothing else but GoPro.
Multi-colored tags and markers for Prelude, the video logging and ingesting tool... currently only one color.
In Premiere Pro,

You can pick a sequence from Media Browser and view it in the timeline... though its locked for safety (just for viewing and copy/pasting only).
A favourite folder in Media Browser panel... for bookmarking frequently accessed folders.
Consolidate and Transcode feature in Project Manager... so you can change multiple formats to one single format for speedy smoother editing experience (like FCPx).
Similarly there is the "Render and Replace" on the clip level and "Restore Unrendered" for better quality final export.
Color indicators on the FX icon in the timeline clips to tell you if effects are applied on the original master clip.

You can actually install CS6 for backward compatibility from the CC download app.
A magic button in SpeedGrade for one-click color matching... I love this one, no need to spend hours tweaking colors anymore.
Media Encoder setup to render a file in another machine.

2014.1 will be released later after Adobe MAX next week...
