Oct 7 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

Oct 3 Derek Lieu: How to Make a Sound Reverb Out

Sean Schools

Tutorials, Audio

Editor Derek Lieu, probably most known for his 26 Simple Tricks For Faster Editing (Premiere Pro CC), published a new blog post on how to "reverb out" in Premiere Pro CC. The challenge is the reverb only lasts till the end of the audio clip, so you're SOL if you want to end on a specific beat in a song. Sure, you could accomplish this easy in a DAW, but Derek has come up with a workaround for this within Premiere Pro CC. Watch the video above, or visit Derek's How to Make Sound Reverb Out blog post to follow along.

"Sometimes you need a sound effect or piece of music to reverb out. It could be a scream in a horror trailer, or something else that reverbs out over a cut to black. More commonly I use it when I want a piece of music I’m editing to end on a specific note to create a stop down moment in a trailer. Mostly it just gives me more options for editing music for trailers." —Derek Lieu

Premiere Pro trainer Jason Cox makes another appearance on the Screenlight blog. This time he shows how to do keyframe interpolation in Premiere Pro.
