Overview

Hi there, my name is Daniel Walter Scott and I am an Adobe Certified Instructor.

I am here to help you learn Adobe Premiere Pro and to show you the tools you need to become a successful video editor. Premiere Pro is the industry standard used by professional designers to create stunning, high class videos and, after completing this course, you too can become a confident, skillful and efficient creator of stunning videos. 

This course is aimed at people who are completely new to Premiere Pro. 

If you are self taught using Premiere, this course will show you techniques you never dreamed were necessary or possible and will show you efficiencies to help speed up your workflow.

The course covers many topics - all of them on a step-by-step basis. We will use real world video editing examples to work through:
  • An interview
  • A wedding video
  • A short commercial
  • A documentary
  • Social media advertising videos
  • YouTube ‘how to’ videos
  • Talking head footage mixed with screencasts and voiceovers

We will work with text, animation, motion gfx, special effects and we will add music to our video.

We will learn how to do colour correction, colour balancing and also how to create amazing video transitions within our movie. Technical ‘guru’ topics such as HD v 4K, frames per second, exporting work, fixing up bad audio, balancing and synching audio will all become manageable tasks for you. Best of all...I will show you amazing shortcuts and techniques to speed up your workflow.

Throughout the course we will work on mini projects and I will be suggesting assignments which will add value to your portfolio.

Start your Premiere Pro training now and fast track your career as a video editor.

I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Hi everyone, this video we're going to add some music and animate the text. It's relying on some of the features that we've learned already. Couple a little new tricks, but let's watch it. How cool are we? Skulls, bad-ass music, and text slides in. We are so hip. Let's learn how to do it now in Premiere Pro. 

Before we do our animation let's add a bit of music. I always find my animation flows better when there's a bit of music. Some are in my Project Window, I double click in the dark area. I am actually going to go back to my exercise files, I'm going to use some of the audio, we use it throughout the course. That's from an earlier project, from Project 3, under Audio, is a bunch of music in here, so have a little listen through them all. Have a play around with different ones, I'm going to use Trespass, because it's kind of cool, it matches my big skull theme. Okay, I'm hard core. 

I'm going to drag it down to its own little layer, you'll notice that it's way too long. So I'm going to hit my backslash, ' \ ', There's my little marker, so it can't be any more than that, but really I want it to kind of snap to the back here. Again, backslash again, such a cool tool. It's the one that slopes backwards, backslash, and what I might do is I'm going to put in an audio transition. So 'Effects Panel', 'Audio Transitions'. I'm going to use 'Constant Power'. Go to my little audio one just so it fades at the end. It's pretty loud, and I'd say too loud for my-- it's just banging away here, at the red. 

So I want to grab it and just lower it down a little bit. The easy way is, remember, just make it a bit bigger. See this line, just lower it down. Seems to be-- dialogue should be around this, music can be higher, it totally can. Depends on what you want to do. Surprised, really loud music. I love it. You can have a play with different tunes, might even download your own one, but for the moment, this one here, what was it even called? It's called Trespass. I want to say dub-step, but who knows. That is it, let's do the animation now. I don't want mine coming from the top-- I'm going to turn down my volume. That's loud. This is kind of where it appears, right? It starts fading in, I'm going to get rid of the Cross Dissolve, by just clicking it once, and hitting 'Del'. 

You got to be careful where you click, click on this little transition there. I'll leave the Fade-out, but I want it to move in. To do it, let's select the clip, and you can drag it on the window. You'll do more and more jobs, and you'll start to realize, it's kind of tricky doing it in the Program Window, it's easier doing it over here. Also remember, there's a bunch of different positions we can change. Remember, there is our video, there's ones under Graphics, there's one under this one, Position, there's one under here, and in our case, because they're all going as one, doesn't really matter which one. I'm going to use the Video Motion Position, and I'm going to start my stopwatch. We're going to use the secret trick, because now what you want to do is move it up. Move your Playhead along, set another keyframe, drop it down, but we're going to-- remember, I showed you my animation tricks, this is what I do. You can do it any way you like, but I'm going to go along a little bit. Start my stopwatch, come back to the beginning, and then move it up, get the wrong one. 

Got the right one, it's going up and down, horizontal, vertical. So I'm going to drag it up, just dragging it to the left, just so it's off screen, when it get started, and then we'll move along to here, and we'll just play-- we'll get a sense for the timing first. Well that's an Easing, select them both, we'll cheat, and do Ease-- so right click them, 'Temporal Interpolation', 'Ease In', and 'Temporal Interpolation', 'Ease Out', you should be more official, but-- look at that, beautiful. Remember, playing with the timing, you can make it closer together to go faster. That's-- feels better, faster, further apart, maybe that's what you want. Oh, mine is fast. 

All right, that's it, a bit of practicing. Get yours to animate 'em, from the top or the bottom, whatever you want to do, we've got our music in, we trimmed it up, with Fade-out. How easy is it now to do stuff, cool, huh? That's it for this video, let's get on to the next one.
