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.

Transcript

Hey there, it is time for a class project, it is project number 7. More sizzle; great name, Dan. Basically I want to take the project that I set for you, project no. 2. Remember the Web course you did right at the beginning of this experiment. So it was class project 2, was all these ones, saggy jeans here. Should have had a shave, red glasses. That one there you did at the beginning, I want you to add more sizzle, like we did for this last section. So grab that old exercise, duplicate it. I want you to do the following. So change the framing, so reframe it. Remember we did it in this last project, remember, kind of, I'm standing kind of halfway, and in this one here we zoom in, that's what I mean. 

So scale that up and reframe it so it looks like a change of camera angle. What else? There is the lower thirds, you created some in the last one, I want you to delete what you've got, and I want you to create an animated option using Easing. I don't mind what kind of animation, but go nuts in this one, you know, the text can slide in, I don't know, the box can scale in, and use Easing, do something. 

Now in terms of the sound, the sound wasn't too bad, so go through, have a little listen, and decide whether it needs to be fixed up, and if not, you can-- I just want you to have a look at the clarity option, in Essential Sound, let's have a look. So clarity here is this option, have a little play around with these. It's not-- there's not a like a specific magic potion in here. Just get an idea of what some of these do, just to enhance the audio. 

So what else is on our list? Background music, you'll either have to shorten or extend it, depending on which music you've picked, you pick anything, remember we did that funny overlap thing, I want to do that again. Get to fade it in, fade it out, so that it's kind of the perfect length. You might have to chop a big chunk out of the middle, or you might be extending and doubling it up. 

Experiment with Vibrance, with that course, remember, not Saturation, we'll look at Vibrance, and Color Grade, it's up to you whether you want to color grade it, because it's like a how-to video, probably doesn't require a whole lot of like special looks, it will only look like the matrix, but have a play around with it. Remember, it's under Lumetri Color, we'll play around with looks. 

So once you've done all that I want you to export an mp4, will match the source, we use the Medium Bitrate, just to make it a little bit smaller from now on, and I want you to export it just make sure it's Mono sound. Then once you've done that, upload it to the usual places. 

Remember, we want a link, eithe from YouTube, Vimeo, or Behance, or wherever you want to stick the link. Share with us through the assignments, or the projects, or the comments, and also share it to us via social media. You can either post a YouTube video, inside of something like Instagram, and tag us, or you can upload your video directly to Instagram using some tricks. Actually it's quite hard to do an Instagram, you can upload directly to Twitter and Facebook, or look at getting your videos up to Instagram in an upcoming video, it's a little bit tricky to do. 

All right, my friends, go add more sparkles, more sizzle to your Web course. Do what we say, do your homework from this list, and then upload it and share it. I'll see you after you've done your homework.
