Adobe Premiere Pro get new collaboration tools

Adobe Premiere Pro's new Productions feature organizes large video-editing projects while allowing team members to work simultaneously on a project without overwriting one another's efforts. The feature, which uses shared local storage, includes a panel that offers an overview of projects and shows which users are working on various elements of a project.

Zoom Users can now choose data Center

Zoom users with paid subscriptions will be able to choose the data center used to route their calls starting Saturday. The move comes after a report noted that Zoom's encryption keys in some cases are generated by servers in China, raising concerns that Chinese officials could demand the keys.
