Forbes: Godzilla Resurgence Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Godzilla Resurgence had roaring success at the Japan box office. According to this Forbes interview with the film's co-editor, Atsuki Sato, Godzilla Resurgence was cut in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Atsuki and his team decided on Premiere Pro CC based on previous experiences that taught them "the importance of carrying out filming, editing and VFX in  an entirely integrated manner." The integration with other Creative Cloud applications, particularly Dynamic Link with After Effects CC, continues to be a prevailing reason why filmmakers are choosing to edit with Premiere Pro CC. Check out the full Forbes interview with Atsuki Sato, which includes a picture of the Godzilla Resurgence edit inside Premiere Pro CC.

"We decided to compose our editing studio based on Adobe’s Premiere Pro CC, which enables integration for multiple devices and provides a flexible editing situation where multiple people could work simultaneously." —Atsuki Sato

Ident Pictures gives viewers a 360-degree tour of the Gotthard Base Tunnel

This Adobe blog post (Ident Pictures gives viewers a 360-degree tour of the Gotthard Base Tunnel) features a 360° video documentary on the Goddard Base Tunnel by Roman Lehmann of Ident Pictures. Edited in Premiere Pro.

I’ve worked with Adobe Premiere Pro for three years and I’ve always liked that it can handle huge files, even 5K or 6K video. With a good computer, you can work quite flawlessly during the edit, and with proxy workflows in the newest version of Premiere Pro it is getting even easier. I don’t have to think about codecs and formats anymore because it’s all readable by Premiere Pro, which frees me up to think about the story instead of worrying about the technical aspects. —Roman Lehmann

See Ident Pictures at the Adobe booth, IBC 2016:

Managing Director Roman Lehmann will discuss his work creating video, audio, and photography content for television, film, and the web. He’ll also share his first 360-degree video project, a short film he helped create on the Gotthard Base Tunnel. —Meagan Keane

Shot Notes X 1.1.0 Compatible with Premiere Pro

Here's some exciting new software for Premiere Pro! Shot Notes X is a one-panel application that merges ScriptE, Movie Slate, or specific CSV text into an XML file. It's the perfect tool for converting production notes and shot logs into searchable metadata in an NLE. Formerly, Shot Notes X was only available for FCP X but, in this week's update, it is now compatible with Premiere Pro. Shot Notes X was created by Kevin Bailey, founder of Kopto Studios. Fun fact: As assistant editor, Kevin was part of the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot keynote presentation at this year's Post|Production World, where Kevin demoed how Shot Notes X was used during the film's post-production. Glad to see Shot Notes X capabilities expanded to Premiere Pro! Available on the Mac App Store.

Import a Premiere XML, instead of a Final Cut Pro XML. Clips in the Adobe XML will be renamed and have metadata from the Shot Log applied. Uses the same Shot Log that is used with Final Cut Pro. —Shot Notes X
