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.

Hello there, it's time to get very technical. No more exciting Page Peels, we're going to be talking about things like, 4K, 8K, UHD, HD, Frame Rates. Sounds nerdy but it is stuff that you need to know to become a professional Video Editor. We'll start with a nice simple one. We'll look at how to find out the properties of the videos, that we can discuss some of the terms. Let's jump on in. 

To find out basic information about your footage, the easiest probably way is, in your Project Window, hover above anything, just hover for a little bit, and it tells you, this one here is an mp4, it is a movie, it is 920 x 1080, and it tells me the Frame Rate, which is 25 frames/second, and gives me the sound Hertz. So basic information like that to find out a little bit more rather than this magical waving, hovering thing. 

You can actually just slide this bar along, and you'll see that my first one is Frame Rate, but if you come along you'll see things like how long it is - where's the one that I want? Here's the main one - the size of the video, you can see this one is, what was it, 1080 High, this one here is double the size. This is 2160. 

Another way you can find information, is just hover down here, gives you some other information about it. so don't hover above the line, if you've got the line, if you don't, don't worry, but hover above the name here, and it will tell you, this one here gives me the duration, which is quite useful sometimes. You can get a bit more scientific about finding out footage information, or a bit more detail, is let's select anything in my Project Window, and go up to 'File', and go to 'Get Properties For'. I'm just going to use 'Selection'. 

So I've got this selected in my Project Window. You can have things selected in your Timeline, it doesn't matter, whatever you have selected you can say, this one here, tell me information about the selection, and it gives you a little bit more deeper information, Duration, Frame Rate, Size, Size of the file, where it's actually located. So that is useful, you might use, that I've never ever used before, but I know it's in here, is you can get properties for a file that's not currently in your project. You might have a really good use case for this. You can just say, it's not in my file, but I want to know what this is before I bring it in, this mp3, let's click 'Open'. Don't want to import it, you just want to have a look at this, and it tells the information about the file, that's not actually in your Premiere Pro project. It's an mp3, it's using stereo, if this hurts, you might find that useful. 

So now we know how to find all the information about the size and frame rates, let's talk about what those size and frame rates actually mean to us.
