Premiere Pro News
The overwhelming success of Marvel's Deadpool may upstage the Coen Brother's Hail, Caesar! in the public eye, but within the post production industry, it's no less exciting because Hail, Caesar! was also edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CC! This week, Adobe Premiere Pro shared this fascinating look inside the editing suite of the Coen Brother's latest film. The video features interviews with key members of the Coen Brother's editorial staff, who recount the process and and reasons for switching to Premiere Pro CC. Even more interesting, the interviewees share how Premiere Pro CC and the Adobe team successfully handled some of the challenges of the Coen Brother's uniques editing workflow.
Also, check out the accompanying Adobe Creative Cloud blog post, Old and New Filmmaking Techniques Merge in Hail, Caesar!, for the interview with Additional Editor Katharine McQuerrey and Post-Production Supervisor Catherine Farrell. They discuss the benefits of switching to Premiere Pro CC and how it helped them support the Coen Brother's post production workflow.
