Edinburgh, Scotland, June 6, 2024 – Krotos, a leader in sound design software for professionals in post production and content creation, has announced a partnership with the 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP), the world's largest and oldest filmmaking competition. This collaboration will provide all entrants with a complimentary one-month license to Krotos's flagship software, Krotos Studio, enabling them to elevate their film submissions with professional AI-powered sound design.

It has become part of film culture and is a milestone for many participants. The competition has seen the creation of almost 70,000 short films by over one million participants worldwide. Filmmakers are tasked with crafting a seven-minute film within a mere two days. The best films are showcased at local screenings and featured at Filmapalooza, 48HFP's international festival, where they are honored at an annual awards ceremony.
