CANT WAIT!!!!!!! they don't have any date yet, but the premiere p2 video came 2-3 weeks before the patch. Crossing fingers.

Very nice how you can drag from bin to bin from AE to Premiere, then to even go back into AE and tweak it even more and the changes reflect in Premiere. Notice the new version numbers for both AE and Premiere, 8.0.2 and 3.1.1 respectively.

Does that kind of linking functionality work if your AE guy opens the Premiere Project file to do some color correcting, saves it, and lets say the editor goes back and recuts in the Premiere file, would the AE sequence update with the new edits?

You got it backwards I think...Look up 'dynamic link', it works with any footage just like he explained in the video.

The video didn't really show anyone anything they didn't know, the whole point is that P2 MXF files are treated like every other piece of footage. Which is great of course.

I just got this while sitting in on a live Adobe meeting going on right now:

After Effects will support P2 files in an update due in December.
There are no plans currently to add P2 support to Photoshop, but you can certainly transcode the files using After Effects or Premiere Pro to QuickTime files that Photoshop can read.
