After living out their teenage years on one of television’s most popular shows of the time, Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong reunited to launch a podcast that revisited their experiences in the spotlight and the making of the iconic show, _Boy Meets World_. What the trio didn’t anticipate when they premiered their first episode of “Pod Meets World” in 2022 was the virality that…
Starring Zach Braff and Esther McGregor, _Clean Hands_ draws much of its power from unscripted moments—real women in treatment, an actual counselor from the recovery mission Simmers went on to found, and a wordless scene of a father and daughter that says everything the film needs to say.
Editor Owen Jackson, a longtime collaborator of Allyn’s, was uniquely qualified to find those moments.…
While truthfully, the last few years have been pretty much all about AI in the film and video space, this year’s revolution is agentic AI. Which, as you could guess, means AI agents performing tasks, executing complex and repetitive workflows, and, to the fears of some… coming for their jobs.
We’re still in the early stages, so it might be hard to tell just how capable, helpful, and…
_Never Change!_ brings together an all-star comedic cast featuring John Reynolds, Sofia Black-D'Elia, Carmen Christopher, Jo Firestone, and Gary Richardson in a coming-of-age (again) story centered on heart and homecoming.
Director Marty Schousboe entrusted his long-time collaborator Whit Conway to co-edit this project, sharing in their philosophy that comedy is most successful through…
In the case of Elise (Alison Brie) this means inviting an old friend (Andre Holland) to care for her father-in-law (Dustin Hoffman) while she records their conversations. It’s the perfect setup—until it isn’t.
For a project requiring a gradual, strategic unearthing of truths—one that deliberately blurs the line between fiction and reality—Vlack turned to longtime collaborator and editor Jon…
Shhhhhhh, you hear that?
That’s the odd quiet sound of your Premiere project running with no audio at all being heard. If you’ve been there and needed that quiet to help you focus and find what you’re looking for, a global audio mute feature would have been a top-requested feature, for sure.
Outside of a fun, albeit not major, update like a global audio mute, Adobe has rolled out a sizable…
The first reaction most editors have when they enter Color Mode is disorientation. The timeline—the primary organizing structure you have relied on—is no longer the center of the experience. In its place is the Clip Grid. The immediate question is predictable: where did my timeline go, and how am I supposed to work without it? The answer is that nothing was removed. The timeline still exists,…
_U.S. Against the World_ is a new sports documentary series that follows the United States Men’s National Soccer Team over more than four years, from the 2022 World Cup to present day. In just five episodes, the series covers every major match, training camp and team event, as well as more personal moments and milestones for the individual players. This meant Harger and the editorial team at…
As part of a strategic partnership announced earlier this year between Adobe and NVIDIA, the two companies have shared that this merging of minds is set to bring new, supercharged capabilities to some of Adobe’s most popular creative apps, such as Photoshop and Premiere.
Powered by NVIDIA’s new RTX Spark superchip, apps like Adobe Premiere are set to be able to provide 2x faster AI, editing,…
As always with covering AI news, love it or hate it, these updates and announcements aren’t going to slow down anytime soon. Higgsfield, one of the larger and more established, but still quite controversial, “all-in-one” AI platforms, has introduced new plugins for both Adobe Premiere and After Effects.
These new AI toolset plugins are set to offer a host of AI-powered features which can…
If you're cutting for film, color has always been something you manage with the finish in mind. You temp in the edit, but you know a proper grade is coming later. That usually means working fast and avoiding anything that won’t translate once you hand off your project to be edited by a separate grading application.
That model creates a gap. You are making creative decisions in the edit, but…
Most color problems don’t start in the grade—they start in how the project is set up. Mixed color spaces, hidden transforms, and assumptions about how footage should behave all add up. Once that foundation is off, every decision that follows becomes a workaround.
Color Mode in Adobe Premiere (beta) is meant to address that, but it only works if the sequence is set up correctly from the…
In this episode of the No Film School Podcast, NFS tech editor Jourdan Aldridge sits down with Adobe’s Jason Druss at NAB 2026 to discuss Adobe Premiere’s new Color Mode, a three-year effort to rethink color grading for video editors.
The conversation covers why Adobe rebuilt its color pipeline, how Color Mode differs from Lumetri and traditional pro-color tools, and what editors can expect…
Since Adobe Premiere hit phones in 2025, creators have found inventive ways to take their productions on the go, including Amelia Dimoldenberg.
The producer, writer, and host, who’s grown accustomed to wearing the many hats required of her profession, has come to rely on the new mobile version of a go-to editing app for creators. As she says herself, “Adobe has been part of my life for…
What’s that? Adobe has rolled out a major new update for its flagship video editing software, featuring a totally new feature set, and this new direction has nothing to do with AI. Are we dreaming?
In perhaps the biggest non-AI swing that the company has made in a long time, Adobe has introduced Color Mode, a first-of-its-kind color grading system in Premiere (beta) designed from the ground…
After years of directing and producing, the duo brought that journey full circle at Sundance this year with a comedy series they co-directed and wrote, “FreeLance.”
The series follows Lance (Spence Moore II) as he attempts to make his first film alongside a tight-knit group of aspiring creatives – each chasing their own artistic dreams, from music videos to documentaries.
In addition to…
Drawing from her personal experience, Iliza plays Jamie, who returns to her hometown after losing her job and boyfriend, for a reflection on a summer’s past. Shlesinger is joined by Lola Tung, Tom Welling, and Garrett Wareing in this coming-of-age story that explores the power of second chances.
We spoke with Barker and his editorial collaborators, Julie Cohen, ACE, and Adam Buchsbaum, for…
The rhythmic cadence of this film is no accident as Bashour – who also served as composer on the film – brought his musical background to the post workflow, and specifically his close collaboration with editor Mollie Goldstein. Edited on _Premiere_, Goldstein was tasked with sorting hours of footage captured in a car on a real cross-country road trip, which provided stunning visuals but also…
A Sundance Grand Jury Prize nominee, the film unpacks the events leading up to the day that forever altered Marion, Kansas, and ignited a national conversation around press freedom and free speech.
Editor Derek Boonstra was tasked with bringing Sharon’s vision to life and turning 18 months of footage – plus troves of archival content – into a succinct, comprehensive story. To catalog and cut…
Premiering at Sundance, the documentary brought a vibrant, playful energy to the screen, shaped in large part by graphic designer Rob Carmichael’s bold visual approach.
Drawing deep inspiration from decades of Girl Scout Cookie box designs, Carmichael fused retro aesthetics with contemporary digital techniques to create the film’s distinct GFX style. He began by digitizing hand-crafted…
Turning the 2021 short film into a full-length feature was no small task for editor Andres Landau. This narrative documentary follows the community in the “polar bear capital” of the world as filmmakers Gabriela Osio Vanden and Jack Weisman explore the complexities of coexistence between humans and polar bears in a changing environment.
Landau came onto the project nine years ago when there…
