"Gone Girl" - first major Hollywood feature to use Premiere CC and After Effects

According to Redsharknews, David Fincher's "Gone Girl" is the first major Hollywood feature to be cut on Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC:

I guess time will tell whether Premiere Pro CC follows in the steps of Final Cut Pro (legacy) and becomes the second (after AVID) most used NLE in the industry.

But FCP was never the second after Avid. Lightworks was and still is. Only a few Hollywood movies were ever cut in FCP.

Now check the ones edited with Lightworks since it was created in 1989. Every other movie not edited with Avid.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting. Although anyone can get After Effects and Premiere, this puts it in perspective (96 Terrabytes!):

The Hardware
The 6K workflow meant that this was not something that could be done on a laptop. In fact Fincher’s team used an epic setup.

The 6K output from the RED Dragon was offlined at 2.3K in Premiere Pro, before being conformed by LightIron Digital on a Pablo Rio at 5K (safe for 6K). For the VFX and opticals, the HP Z820 computers were fitted with Nvidia Quadro GPUs and all debayering used a CUDA based version of REDline. Stabilisation, green screens, opticals, reframing, and VFX review were performed at 6K, and were able to play back in realtime.
The offline systems were Mac Pros (2011 and 2012) with Nvidia Quadro 5000 GPUs. The conform systems were HP Z820s with 12 core Intel Xeons and 256 GB of RAM. The offline computers shared an almost unbelievable 36TB of SSDs and 60 TB of hard drives.

I thought the "House of Cards" look was an interesting choice for a major theatrical release and was more germane to the final product that ... well, other minor mentions.

As to computers, a $30K-$50K (reusable) system for a movie budgeted at $68M (officially, but not including the marketing costs) is a negligible amount.

Absolutely. In the days of 35mm film, the actual cost of the film has always been a tiny part of the budget.
