Adobe Starts Initiative to Develop Open Format for Digital Cinema Files
We’ve just announced that we’re leading an initiative to define an open file format for digital cinema files.
Adobe intends to leverage its successful Digital Negative Specification (DNG) file format as a foundation, and Adobe plans to work with a broad coalition of leading camera manufacturers, including Panavision, Silicon Imaging, Dalsa, Weisscam, and ARRI—along with software vendors, including Iridas and The Foundry, and codec provider CineForm—to define the requirements for an open, publicly documented file format that it plans to call CinemaDNG.
We’ve also announced an initiative to built more meta data into the digital video and audio production workflow.
c|net reports: Separately, Adobe will give a preview at NAB 2008 of technology that automatically transcribes the audio track of a video file.
For editors, this will allow them to more quickly find passages within a clip based on a text read-out of the audio. The output of the video-editing software will also include that transcribed information.
As a result, viewers of a Web video will be able to search on terms to find a specific location within a video.
For example, a person could search a CNET video review for a product name and a specific feature, such as camera zoom.
Adobe will demonstrate the feature on a version of its Soundbooth audio-editing product under development and on Premiere Pro.
The company intends to support the feature in the next major release of its video work-flow software. There was a two-year gap between the releases of Creative Suite 3 and 2, so the next major version is likely to come some time in 2009.
The transcription information will be stored in XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform), another format developed by Adobe.
Good news for digital video and audio producers out there!

Hello Mike,
this is a little bit offtopic. I don’t really know how to contact Adobe in this matter, so I want to give it a try here.
I have found out that Scientology is heavily using Adobe Flash to advertise their cult. One example is http://www.scientology.org Scientology is not a religion, but a big money-machine that manipulates people. Please investigate current protests against Scientology around the world. A good start is searching YouTube for the term “anonymous”.
I want to ask Adobe to break all business relations to Scientology. It does not go along with Adobe’s ethics and values, which I highly respect. PLEASE pass on. Thanks.
