Premiere Pro Community Digest

Hello Premiere Pro Community! Here are your community highlights for March 2021. 

March 2021: February is done and March is well under way! How is it going? I hope all is well with you and your current projects. February gave us a new release of Premiere Pro, version 14.9. Just a couple of small features in 14.9,  but again, bug fixes are at the core of the release. More relevant content for the Premiere Pro community was published, so let's first check that out. By the way, I started naming these community highlights for the month they are published in, so that is why we are seeing a renaming of this release of the digest. Hopefully, it makes the content more relevant for the community.

Featured ACP - Phillip Harvey

Phillip Harvey has been an ACP for around a year now and has contributed some excellent answers to very difficult questions along the way. I'd like to thank Phillip for all his hard work.

I first met Phillip on the Reddit Discord Server where Phillip spends a lot of time running the community. Phillip has seen a lot of similar issue in that space and brings that experience over to our forums. Thank you so much, Phillip!

Originally from small town Idaho, Phillip has been living in Seattle, for almost 15 years now. He got his start in video production as an indy filmmaker. He has a twin brother who, at the time, was getting into acting, so he joined him and began making films.

Creating these films gave Phillip a broad set of experience from writing all the way through to post production, sound design, color, and VFX. Over the years he has worked on a range of content from music and documentary-style videos with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, to hype videos for our local NFL team, the Seattle Seahawks. He's worked for companies like T-Mobile, and the Halo franchise, as well. Phillip still makes some short films from time to time, often participating the 48 hour film festivals, and even screened a short at the Cannes Film Festival.

Phillip worked as a bartender for quite a while so beware! He can make a solid cocktail. The weirdest/craziest job he's had was as a puma-walker in Bolivia in South America. Phillip also loves to travel when he can. 

Thanks for sharing, Phillip. Contact Phillip via his profile here. On behalf of Adobe and the entire community, thank you, Phillip for all your excellent contributions.
