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

Hi everyone, this next kind of group of videos, just in the next few, we're going to build another social media kind of video, this one looks like this. It is nearly ready, I am right in the middle of filming my Premiere Pro Essentials course. If you want to be the first to know when it's ready, swipe up and pre-register. Don't miss this course, it is going to be loads of fun. 

So a few things we're going to do, is we're going to deal with video that has to move, if we actually animate that video, so we get the best use of the space. We got some text animating, we do some audio adjustments, fix some plosives, and some weird stuff I do with my mouth over here. We'll talk about markers and how that can be a little bit weird. So really, it's a lot of the stuff we've done. It's kind of like a nice little, slightly more complicated project, that's going to allow us to kind of combine some of our skills, before we move on to new tricks; all right, let's get going. 

To get started let's close down our Instagram 1:1 Timeline, just so it's all clean, and let's create a new sequence. So 'New Sequence', we're going to start with 'Digital SLR 1080p', we're going to start with this, 25 frames/second. I'm going to give it a name. I'm going to call mine 'Instagram Stories', just so that I can use it later on, so I know what it is, I know that the aspect ratio is 4 : 5, and it's portrait. 

Now remember, basically I want to make sure that the settings, I Googled what 4.5, what the optimal is for Instagram stories, and it said, let's add our time code, 15 seconds, 15 zero zero. So jumps out there, let's hit 'M' for our little marker, because I know Instagram stories can't be more than 15 seconds. You can just hack to stitch them all together, but let's just say we're doing the official way, 15 seconds. Right there, this one, we've got our kind of sequence ready, and we'll start adding all the content in the next video.
