David ArborFeatured ACP - David Arbor
David Arbor is our featured ACP for April 2021. I would like to thank David for all his great quality responses and contributions here on the forums. David has over 1800 posts and almost ten years of service to the Premiere Pro community. In addition to being an ACP, David is also a teaching assistant for School of Motion, a super high quality source of training in digital video and audio.
I've had the pleasure of meeting David at Adobe MAX. Great guy! Speaking of MAX, David has been a teacher's assistant at the conference for the past few years. David even got to work with the Character Animator team to turn their awesome mastcot, Red Monster, into a 3D puppet that you can download for Character Animator! Check out David's article on his site about that experience: www.davidarbor.com/red-monster
In his spare time, David loves video editing, motion design and photography, which I can relate to. He also loves LEGO, and comic books, which sound like perfect obsessions for these crazy times. Check out David's website for more information about David and his work.
Thank you again, David!

We are investigating an issue with Premiere Pro v15.0 where the MXF files from Canon C300 Mark II show red/blue tint when previewed in the Source/Program monitor. The issue seems to be related to incorrect interpretation of channels. We are working on getting this issue sorted in a future release.
Incorrect preview showing red/blue tint
For the time being, you may try these steps to restore the correct preview.
- Apply Channel Mixer effect (Video Effects > Color Correction > Channel Mixer) to the MXF clips affected by this issue
- Highlight the clip & navigate to the Effect Controls panel
- Under Channel Mixer apply these values
Red-Red 0
Red-Blue 100
Blue-Red 100
Blue-Blue 0
This should restore the correct preview.
Channel Mixer effect restores the correct preview
Note: Please remember to remove the Channel Mixer effect from the clips once the bug fix is released.
Hope this helps in solving the issue. Let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Sumeet

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.
