In celebration of Premiere Pro’s 25th anniversary Adobe is partnering with Grammy-award-winning Imagine Dragons to provide an amazing opportunity for up-and-coming and aspiring video professionals, as well as those in other creative disciplines who’ve been waiting for the right moment to give video editing a try.

Through the “Make the Cut” editing contest, Adobe is making raw footage from the music video for Imagine Dragons new hit song “Believer” available to the community to edit their own version of the video, for a chance to win US $25K dollars and other awards and prizes.

There is two audio, one audio is the "Believer_Master.wav" but then there is the audio with the talking and breathing on the full music video part.   Which audio do we use, the shorter one which is the Master or the one with the full dialogue with the Vocals.

Thank you for the quick reply.

This is the first error I get but I don't think it is a problem and normally wouldn't be an issue.

Then I get this error after locating the media.

PIC_02.png
If I create my own project all the videos will load but the ones with audio will load the video portion only.
This is only a problem for using things like multicam edits because there is no audio to sync.

ALSO
While I have your attention could someone clarify the this part of the ENTRY GUIDELINES?

"Entry must not contain any content that is not included in the Sponsor Files."

Does this include content created by the" Entrant" specifically for this contest or are we limited to only modifying "Sponsor" content? Example... Can we use Text and Graphics like demonstrated in the video Jason Levine did for Facebook Live?

As you've noted, that's not an error; it's simply a notification that your system is using a different GPU acceleration than the machine that initially built the project (NVIDIA instead of AMD). And it is not, in the least bit, an issue.

Which file is causing the issue? I didn't even have to relink any media on my end. If you keep the project file that you're working on next to the one they created and you don't move it relative to the footage (that is, if you keep the file structure intact), it shouldn't even have to relink manually.

I wonder if it's a codec issue on your machine. That is, perhaps, for some reason, it's not recognizing/reading some of the assets properly. You haven't installed any third-party codecs, have you?

It says elsewhere that you can use other Adobe tools to work on it in addition to Premiere. My understanding of that rule was that you couldn't use stock assets/video footage that they didn't give you, but you could make stuff from scratch in After Effects or with Premiere's titler. However, official clarification would be nice.

Open Premiere first then open the project file.

You can only use what has been given to you.

Any product in the Adobe Creative Cloud may also be used to enhance your music video.

I have an issue with every single file that has AAC audio in an MP4 container. All the files will open in a new project but they open without the audio and no error message. I have no codecs that are not included in the Adobe CC Suite. It isn't a huge deal but it is somewhat a disadvantage to have to manually align all of the band clips instead of using Multi cam edit. It is just very time consuming.

Jason Levine, an Adobe employee, clearly demonstrates how to add "content" that is not included in the "sponsor" files. The YouTube video is titled "How After Effects & Premiere Pro Work Together | Dynamic Link ". While only text was added, according to the guidelines section of the rules that would disqualify your video. I am just asking for a clarification because with the Adobe CC an "Entrant" could create a lot of content like text, graphics, animation, particle effects, etc etc.

Hello,

I opened the project and noticed that it was occupying a heck of a lot of memory.

As opposed to a project I finished on Monday.. Not sure if it matters but this one had 300GB of data vs 2.3GB on this dragons proj.

Hi timothyde,

What are your system specs and how much of RAM you have allocated to PPro?

Is it continuously consuming that much of memory, or is it happening during a specific process (rendering or relinking offline media)?

Thanks,

Kulpreet Singh
