Premiere Full Series Training Course
Course Summary
The Adobe Premiere series covers the basics of video editing in Premiere from the initial steps of dragging and dropping, to advanced use of effects, compositing, and double edit-point editing. The goal of the series is to teach the student all of the functions of the program that would be realistically used in a production environment. Each class builds upon the last while all also being self-contained. Even after the first class, the student should be able to edit a completed piece. By the final class, the student should be confident, efficient, and ready to edit even the more advanced editing pieces that may be thrown at them.
Duration
30 hours.
5 course(s)
Audience
The Premiere series is for complete novices or for self-taught students who just want to learn the most efficient way to use the program. It is helpful for students to have a knowledge of Photoshop or basic video terminology, but not required. For quicker immersion, it is suggested that students either read some about the basics of video or take an Introduction to video course. This class can be taught on either a Windows or MAC OS.
