Lumberjack System's Builder App Adds Robust Text-Story Editing for Adobe Premiere Pro

CHATSWORTH, Calif., June 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Philip Hodgetts, Co-Founder and CEO of Lumberjack System, today announced the release of Builder 2.0, one of the most popular and widely-used text-driven video editing applications within the non-scripted production community. Lumberjack System family's Builder 2.0 now enables round-tripping from either Adobe® Premiere® Pro, part of Adobe Creative Cloud®, or FCPX into a stand-alone NLE designed for rapid and efficient keywording, low-cost transcription and unique story building.

Builder was created for producers, story-editors and the editors who work with them to help quickly develop story/scripts without editing knowledge. It serves the workflow needs of many types of reality and non-scripted productions, such as live events, sports, conventions, corporate videos, weddings and news reporting, among others.

"Although there are transcription programs, none has the video editing capabilities of Builder," Hodgetts says. "We've been asked by the creative community to welcome the Premiere Pro user community into our Lumberjack family since before Builder was released, and Builder 2.0 is the answer to those requests. It reflects our long-standing commitment to our customers' needs and we are happy that the new version of Premiere Pro has provided the key to this implementation. We couldn't be more pleased."

"We are committed to empowering our users and work closely with innovative technology partners like Lumberjack Systems to provide integrated workflows," said Sue Skidmore, head of partner relations for Adobe Video. "Builder 2.0 expands the creative toolset for video production and we're delighted to welcome Lumberjack Systems to the Adobe Partner community."

Key features and capabilities of Builder's Adobe Premiere Pro version include:

• Stand-alone text-driven NLE (edit text, edit video and audio)
• The ability to drag and drop the transcription text into a script, watch a preview in Builder's media window, and, when satisfied, output a first cut for the editor
• Support for AV clips
• Support for Multicam Sequence clips
• Batch import function for XML, including Multicam Sequence clips
• Import story/sequence to Premiere Pro as a live multicam
• Automatic Lower Thirds (based on the speaker's first appearance)
• Low-Cost Transcriptions directly from within Builder into Builder's Transcript Mode
• Included within Lumberjack System's family of solutions at no additional cost
• Builder automatically adapts to Premiere Pro as soon as the first XML is imported into a -Builder Document. Import Premiere XML and work in the Builder environment, then send the Story back to Premiere Pro. Simple.

Builder 2.0 is easy to use, producer-friendly and can be learned in a very short period of time, even by those who do not know nor want to learn how to edit.

Premiere Pro editors access Lumberjack System for the same low subscription, which is currently available at the Lumberjack System Signup Page for $9.99 per month, with a year commitment, or $25 per month with no commitment. Current Lumberjack subscribers can update to Builder 2.0 at no cost
