Adobe Productions for Premiere Pro

Join Karl Soule as he shares new Adobe Productions for Premiere Pro, which is now available in Premiere Pro 14.1. Productions provide new tools for managing projects, sharing assets between them, and keeping everything organized, whether you’re working on your own or collaborating with a team. Productions was designed from the ground up with input from top filmmakers and Hollywood editorial teams. Early versions of the underlying technology were battle-tested on recent films such as Terminator: Dark Fate and Dolemite is My Name. Productions are being used now in editorial on films like David Fincher’s Mank. Learn how Productions can work for you. Karl will also touch on using Productions in this new work-from-home world.

We’re excited to hangout with you online again!

During this time away from our in person meetings, please stay connected with us on our Blog, our YouTube Channel and our Social Media Channels – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram!

Stay well!
