Edit Scene Events
As the weather gets cooler and the tendency to stay inside is greater, there are a few distractions to drag you away from your edit room but involve staring at another screen.
First up is the Adobe MAX - The Creativity Conference taking place online between 26th - 28th October.
Adobe is obviously the creator of the very versatile editing software Premiere Pro.
The event itself is free.
More importantly you are able to listen to an impressive array of international creatives, including musicians, designers, film and tv editors, actors, workflow specialists (among many others) as they discuss sectors of the creative industry that encompass 3D and AR, Education, Graphic Design, Photography, Video etc etc. The list is extensive.
Check out the catalogue here and input a few events into your diary across the Tuesday - Thursday sessions.
For us film and tv editors - Jason Levine is hosting a workshop on audio editing and Adobe’s Karl Soule walks you through an effective way to utilize Creative Cloud’s tools in an edit scenario.
Check out all the Premiere Pro sessions here.
