Adobe and the 2024 Sundance Film Festival

The 2024 Sundance Film Festival

The world-famous Sundance Film Festival begins this week. Adobe will have a major presence there with a storefront setup on Main Street in Park City during the event. Adobe has announced a major update to Premiere Pro Beta, as well, which centers around audio improvements.

Check out this great info and opportunities to connect with Adobe at the Sundance Film Festival. A good hunk of these films at Sundance were cut on Premiere Pro and most all of them used Adobe tools in their filmmaking pipeline.
