Hello,

I know that this contest has ended, however I am beginning to teach my students how to use Adobe Premiere Pro and have come across this great tutorial: Edit a music video |

I would like to use it, however I cannot find anywhere to download the uncut Imagine Dragons footage needed. I know the students would really love it. Can you please direct me to where I could download the song?

Thank you very much!

I already reported this broken link. Adobe seems to be a bit slow.

Its no longer available.

So ... it's Friday afternoon.

Does anyone know:

Have the 25 been chosen?
The Rules say "potential winners will be notified..." When is that? Will the 25 finalists be contacted before Sunday's midnight Youtube posting? Or is that the earliest way to know if you've "made the cut"?
When will the Grand Prize winner be announced? After the YouTube voting?
For the "Fan Favorite" thing -- is there any kind of system where people will have to watch a certain number of entries before voting? If not, it's just basically a social media popularity contest, isn't it?

The rules say I am supposed to submit my premiere file along with the video but I saw no place to upload the edit file. Only the video.

Hi Bam,

If your video is chosen as a finalist, then we'll collect your project file. Right now, don't be concerned about it.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I submitted an entry for the contest. The upload took a couple of minutes and it appeared successful but no email confirmation that the upload succeeded and was received. Is there supposed to be an email confirmation that the entry is received and accepted by Adobe?

Also, my video was the length of the Imagine Dragons "Believer" song and using the encoding settings of the source, the size of the video came to 258MB. The contest upload page only allows a max of 200MB files One of the Adobe live stream events announcing the contest and how to download and use the zip kit provided recommended using the "Youtube 1080p" setting, but this unfortunately made the output video about 400MB. I wound up starting by using the encoding settings of the source and down-tweaking the average bit rate from 10mb to 7.5 and came out with a 195 MB movie. Hopefully, this is helpful for others or Adobe can, at least, allow a bit larger upload file.

Thanks,

-- Craig

Hi CraigSFowler,

Thanks for entering. No, there is no email confirmation as I understand it. A "Thanks for entering" screen probably appeared but maybe you didn't see it. I'm glad you were able to get your entry under 200MB. The contest sounded like a pretty big challenge, so big, that even the encoding was no cake walk. Thanks for sharing your processes.

Regards,
Kevin

Why Is Quebec not eligible for the shortcut contest but Canada is. I've been with Adobe for a while and this could be a great oportunity for me as for everyone who has the passion and the chance to enter. But, I live in Quebec and this is kind of unfair. I'm not here to complain about equality, but I just want answers for my misunderstanding about this choice.

Thank

Quebec law may not allow some of the rules of the contest.

I want to enter this competition and downloaded the free trial. In the rules it says that I can download a special 25 day trial for premiere pro for the competition but when it downloaded I only have the standard 7 day trial. I contacted customer support on the online chat and phone and they keep saying there is only a 7 day trial and they had never heard of the competition. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do or who I can talk to who can actually help me? Thanks.

Hi LaurenK,

There's a 25 day trial? Can you point me to a link where it indicates that? I want to check that out.

Thanks!

On the make the cut website makethecut.adobe.com if you go to official rules it's in section 3 it talks about a 25 day trial. I emailed adobemakethecut@gmail.com and they said to enter Adobe email into the Adobeid section on the website for the competition and that it might take a couple days for the 25 day trial to activate, so for now I'm waiting a couple days to see if anything will change.
