Adobe Premiere Pro 14.8 Updates RED R3D Workflows

Premiere Pro is now in version 14.8, thanks to the latest update from Adobe. The latest iteration includes support to display and use any non-standard frame rate timecodes, updated color space and gamma changes for RED .R3D files, and other fixes that plagued the program. 

Since Adobe released version 14 of Premiere Pro, the company has been updating the software almost every month.

Some of the bigger updates include a new Production tool, support for ProRes RAW, handy quick export options, and an announcement that Adobe is developing support for Apple's M1. Adobe has told No Film School that updates will be happening with more frequency this year. 

While not as significant, Premiere Pro 14.8 improves in a variety of areas. Let's highlight them.
