Today I found out that Deadpool (2016), Gone Girl (2014) and Hail, Caesar! (2016) Have 1 thing in common, they are all edited in Premiere Pro. Usually, films are edited in Avid Media Composer but since 2014 since when the creative cloud was born more and more independent filmmakers, and production houses are using Premiere.
The Adobe Creative Cloud is a group of programmes that work seamlessly with each other to give a smoother experience to the editor. So if I create an image in photoshop, I can link it within premiere without exporting in Tiff. For example. This also helps when fixing a simple thing in photoshop continuing to the previous case, since the file is linked nothing needs to be reported. Hence making the life of the editor easier.
Back to the films being edited nowadays on Premiere, it’s still a high production value movie and this way we can see that Adobe is expanding into the market and giving the people what they want regarding software compatibility and ease of use.
The Editor of Deadpool Julian Clarke explains how it’s effortless to integrate with After Effects a compositing programme, instead then exporting each time and using the application just to cut and dissolve you can use premiere to link to the composting software and seamlessly edit and fix minor details rather than phoning the composting company to have it sent to you the next day.
The following experiment is a project I did voluntarily for my local band club about the history of the same band club its self on the anniversary of the 110 years from the first time it started.
Although the sound was edited in ProTools with a bunch of audio processing on the Voice Over and automation for the music, the rest was edited in Premiere Pro with After Effects to track and create an easily the blur effect shown below.
Now since I have a 5 monitor set up a build for editing, I use all the available screen space to efficiently and quickly use the programme and lose less time on finding stuff.
When I use any type of programme, I organise everything the best I can.
Each time I edit a new Project I like to take it a step further by learning new techniques and trying to improve as I go. Below you can find the finished edit on YouTube.
