Hail, Caesar! and Deadpool cut using Adobe Premiere Pro CC

From independent productions to Hollywood headliners, 51 films debuting at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival used Adobe Premiere Pro CC as their primary digital editing software. Sundance, the preeminent festival for groundbreaking work and emerging talent, will include a total of 175 films made with Premiere Pro CC and other Adobe Creative Cloud tools. From in-competition feature films like “Christine,” “Gleason,” and “Swiss Army Man” to short films and documentaries, like “Richard Linklater - dream is destiny,” Premiere Pro CC usage at Sundance has increased 143 percent since 2015. “With such an ambitious film, we needed the most innovative technology to push creative boundaries,” said Louis Black, co-director of “Richard Linklater - dream is destiny,” which will premiere at Sundance. “Our story relies on combining decades-old archival footage with interviews from the present. We cut the film in Adobe Premiere Pro CC with incredible results.” Recent Premiere Pro converts include the four-time Oscar-winning Coen brothers with “Hail, Caesar!;” director Tim Miller with “Deadpool;” director David Fincher and Oscar-winning editor Kirk Baxter with “Gone Girl;” and director Rhys Thomas and producer Lorne Michaels with “Staten Island Summer.”
