Sharknado 2 edited on…..(drumroll) Premiere Pro CC
-
It’s just that Aindreas has turned his attention back to FCPX after fighting a long and losing battle on the Adobe CC front.
Same old same old I’m afraid, wish Charlie wouldn’t rise to it!

Well at least we settled the issue of asymmetrical audio dissolves and future microwaves. That was fresh ground.

I agree Mark! I edited Sharknado 2 and it was an awesome experience. Crazy editorial schedule, 4 different cameras and codecs and a shit-ton of footage. The Asylum is has all FCP7 post workflow but it was easy to integrate Premiere Pro via XML. It was just faster and more efficient for me to work in PP. Glad you enjoyed the final product!

The Asylum is all FCP7 internally. Pro Res proxies and a really tight workflow for the whole pipeline. They’ve never missed a deadline and put out around 30 films a year. I cut Sharknado 2 on Premiere Pro CC and shared my XML. Seamless hand-offs. Will always love FCP7 thought!

Thanks for sharing the workflow and experience.
I think far too many people here blow off the validity of feature film editing, because it’s not something they do. Certainly most film timelines aren’t as layer-intensive as many large corporate projects. But it really is a different type of complexity that taxes NLEs and post systems in completely different ways.
For example, how the system deals with a massive amount of footage and timelines with 1,000 – 2,000 or more timeline clips. Is it robust enough to keep on chugging when a director is sitting in and would like to see options and variations quickly? Feature workflows are all about the interoperability of lists with other departments (sound, VFX, color).
These are all things that may well be quite different than many other jobs, though are still applicable.

Mark you’re totally missing the point! Sharknado would have been soooo much better if only it had been cut with FCPX! Even the camp would have been campier… Blood? Bloodier! And the sharks? So much sharkier!
It was at a Vegas premiere that I resolved to become an avid FCPX user.

Lance, I guess you’re right.
I’m sure that X has plenty of retro FX plugin they could have used. “Sawtooth” wipes perhaps?
And imagine the keyword possibilities!
How many different words can you use to describe a shark? Let’s see. Here’s a few
that would get a good work out:Flying shark
Swimming Shark
Land shark (Yes, it happened!)
Baby shark
Snarky shark
Smiling shark
chomping shark (lots of those)Feel free to add to this list.

Don’t forget Scarface Shark – who conveniently delivered Tara Reid’s half digested arm back to our heroes…

Not sure if this is a win for Adobe or not…
