This year’s HPA Awards for Engineering Excellence go to Adobe, Disguise x Cuebric, and Evercast! 🏆
The Engineering Excellence awards, highly coveted in the industry, honor outstanding technical and creative advancements across media, content production, finishing, distribution, and archiving.
Winning technologies are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry judges – and we had many innovative submissions from which to choose! Read on below for what makes these technologies the best of the best:
⭐ Adobe: Enhance Speech in Premiere Pro
Premiere Pro’s Enhance Speech uses AI to remove background noise and improve poorly recorded dialogue, making it sound as if it was recorded in a professional studio. With Enhance Speech, post-production pros all over the world are saving valuable time otherwise spent on tedious dialog clean-up by enhancing the clarity and quality of voice recordings in a click.
⭐ Disguise and Cuebric: AI-Driven 2.5D Workflow
In partnership, Disguise and Cuebric have developed a 2.5D workflow that bridges the gap between 2D and 3D, combining the benefits of both. This workflow, composed of multiple layers, each of which has its own shape generated by AI from the original 2D image, allows filmmakers to add depth to their images without building 3D scenes. It addresses parallax issues inherent in 2D, while avoiding the costs and time associated with 3D environment creation, enabling creators to move from concept to camera efficiently.
⭐ Evercast: Evercast for Apple Vision Pro
Evercast for Apple Vision Pro facilitates spatial collaboration and introduces new possibilities for interaction and storytelling. Designed for production professionals, the app allows life-size collaboration as users stream content with low latency, high resolution, frame accuracy, color precision, and spatial audio. It supports every stage of production, from traditional 2D content to fully immersive experiences crafted specifically for the Apple Vision Pro.
