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.

* Please note, you have full permission to transform and upload any work using footage of Daniel as a part of this course.

Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor

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

You're like, gulp, it's the video with the orange writing in the Word doc. "He's going to make us do a class project." Yes, I am. We've got to a nice place in terms of the tools to learn, in that Parkour kind of commercial/documentary, and I want you to take it further, so let's just scrap what we've got so far. You can continue on with it if you've kind of modified it, but if you're following it exactly like mine, let's make a new project, because we want everyone's to be slightly different, right? 

These are things we can use for our portfolio. So a new project, import all the footage that we have. You don't have to use it all, and remember, if you want to get the full set of footage, you got to go to Edit Stock, but you can just use what's in this course, you don't have to go out and buy anything. You have to edit the interview. Now we interview-- you notice how, instantly I went and changed the kind of order of the interview. You can do the same, let's get that kind of done first, generally helps me, it's up to you. 

Now I'm going to give you some specifics to do, but I really want you to look at this job and go, "How can I make this a little bit different?" It doesn't have to be-- like you're not being hired by the client. You get a little bit of scope to do some, doesn't even have to be crazy, it can be sensible. Maybe just a different angle, I've gone for like, quite a, I don't know, there was that big kind of like drop of the base line. You might go be something different, just have a little think about what, just have a little thing about what you might do, like what you could bring to it to make it a little bit strange, or unique, or different, because we get to play, because it's just practice. 

I want to be prescriptive about a few little things to be in there. So you need to add text. There's an-- Above All is the company really that hired the filmmaker to make this. So we need either the beginning or the end. In your 'Exercise Files', in 'Project 5', under 'Graphics' is their 'Logo'. There's a couple of options that the company uses. So include those somewhere in there, big, small, beginning, end, lower thirds to practice that. I want them to be animated. That's the guy's name, and he is a Parkour Athlete at Above All. So you choose your music. 

In terms of B-roll I want you to use-- find something else to use. You can use the clouds as well, but I want to find you-- see if you can sneakily work in your own fake B-roll footage. You might shoot it yourself, you might get it from a free website or a stock video website. Everyone's going to be reviewing each other's, and we'll be able to see when that footage is, if we can spot it, so see if you can integrate it in. Color grading will help with that, integrating it in, give it a look. Make sure that it ends with that, Edit Stock video, where is it? It's under 'Footage', it's this last one here. It's called z-- mine's not ordered by name, there it is there, zEnd Credit. That really needs to go at the end. Thank you, Edit Stock, for sharing, and when you are ready to share, describe what you've done, be interesting to see, how you did it, things you fixed and adjusted, problems you had, same as the last one. 

Make sure you review other people's work, just see what they did, and comment on their work, we're looking for a bit of community spirit. Comments, high fives, "That's really amazing," or, I think, me, you know, if it was me I'd try and do this a little better. Make sure the tone is right in terms of criticisms. We all want to get better but we don't want to make each other cry. Same thing as before, upload a link, either way you want to, and make sure you share it online. I'd love to see what you guys are making using the #premierepro. Drop it into the Facebook or LinkedIn group, Twitter or Instagram, do them all. 

All right, that is your project. Yeah, I will see you once you've finished; bye now.
