From setting up a project to colour grading, music, and even showreel advice there’s plenty there to get going with. It might seem obvious, but Adobe themselves have a great selection of tutorials to get you skilled up. We’re always on it looking for stuff to use or build on in our thumbnails or inserts. A monthly subscription can get you access to plenty of images, vector graphics, and video to use in your projects. But when it comes to look development, replacement skies and backgrounds, or simply usable footage then Adobe Stock is a great tool to have at your disposal. Especially because it appears again in our list of stock footage resources. While Lumetri’s come a long way since Adobe acquired SpeedGrade, Colorista still gives you an extra edge and a few more tools. Just drop in your files, hit synchronise, and dump out an XML all ready for ingest.Ĭolorista is a level up from Adobe’s built in Lumetri colour grading effect. Perfect for run and gun productions and corporate interviews. PluralEyes uses an advanced algorithm to synchronize audio to video without a clapperboard in sight. You can even buy them from us (contact Graeme Pitt) along with your Adobe license. For the former, it’s PluralEyes and Colorista that we particularly enjoy. These guys make plugins for Premiere Pro and After Effects. They can be a bit fiddly to do from scratch, so Vashi Visuals have created PNGs for almost every aspect ratio out there. Plenty of shorts and feature films opt to shoot wide and add cinema bars in post.

While we’d all love to shoot anamorphic when we can (and when it’s appropriate) budgets are often a little too constrained to fork out for the lenses and adaptors required. Which means that his presets aren’t random - they’re real. To do it he actually went and filmed some handheld footage and retro-engineered the movements from that. When Deadpool was in post production he was challenged to create authentic camera shake presets that could be used on some of the film’s locked off shots.

What’s particularly great is how they meld tech savvy gear reviews with practical software advice and on-set guidance. Offering some of the best stock music around (we use it on our case study videos) PremiumBeat also has a comprehensive series of tutorials for editing, graphics, and more. To honour the success and general joy of Adobe Premiere Pro we’ve compiled a list of where you can find tips, tricks, tutorials, and more.
