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, we're going to create a preset. We're going to add some noise to this film, we're going to add a bit of color grading to it, then we're going to turn it into a preset, and then we're going to grab random of the footage and apply it. Ready, steady, apply. 

It applies both the Lumetri Color changes that we made, plus some of the effects that we made in the Effects Panel. It's a way of kind of bringing together separate parts that you've done in Premiere Pro, to change the footage into one reusable preset. Super helpful for those repeatable jobs, where you want to do the same thing every time, and get the same kind of effect and look. All right, I'll show you how to do it now in Premiere Pro. 

To create a preset we need to actually do something to some footage. I'm just going to use-- which one I'll use? I'll use this one here. So which one is this one? This is the shed. I'm just going to do a quick little bit of orange and 'teal'ey looking stuff. Remember it captures Lumetri Color, and you could just do that, and create your preset. We're going to do something a little bit more, so we're going to say that, plus we're going to do our effects. 

Remember, under 'Effects', we want to put on our 'Noise', and where's our Noise, there it is there. You can do as much or as little as you like and increase the noise up. Okay. Oh, it's looking good. So we've done a couple of things, it could be the black and white, we have to have a vignette, because that's my addiction, can't help myself. So we've got a few things applied. Basically what we're doing is we're looking at this Effects Controls. Doesn't matter if you applied Effect on here or Lumetri Color, you can see in here, these are the different things we've done. 

You can include anything in here. We are going to include-- I'm going to hit those little chevrons just to tidy things up to make it look nicer, and I want to include this one. I'm going to hold down my 'Command' key on a Mac, and click on this 'Noise'. So 'Ctrl' key on a PC, and I could decide to hold that one, so you can see, you can select more than one. I'm going to click it again, holding down 'Command' on a Mac, 'Ctrl' on a PC, so I just want two of them. These are what I want to include in my preset. All you do is right click any one of the words here and go to 'Save Preset', and that's basically it. 

What I'm going to do is going to give it a name. I always give mine my first name, mainly because later on-- if you call it Black and White or, I don't know, Orange and Teal, or something else, you might forget, like is it the one that's Preset, or is that one that came with Premiere Pro, or is that one I've made? So I'm going to call this one Orange Teal + Noise. I'm going to leave it 'Set to Scale'. You can add a description that nobody will read. Okay, where does it go? So we're going to add, you can add any footage here. You can be working on our--

Let's go back to our video footage. What have we got here? Let's do it to-- I'm going to bring in the last one. You've already done it in your practice exercise. So which one are you going to use? Let's overwrite it. Actually no, let's use a bit of the Cam B footage. So I'm going to grab it, grab anything I like, and I'm going to stick it on my Timeline. Oh, can't fit it in there, what do you do? Zoom out a little bit. Remember, minus ' - ' on your keyboard. Stick it in here, I'm going to apply my preset. Where do they hide the presets? Go to 'Effects', click on this. You can do a search for it, if I type in 'Dan', here you go, all the Dan ones together. If you don't do that though they're all under Presets. 

So if any of this is open just close them all down, go to 'Presets', and there's mine there. So there's my preset, I'm going to drag it onto my clip, and it will apply both that orange and teal thing that I made, and way too much noise. Good shot. 

So yeah, that's how to create a preset, it could be anything in here. You could play with the opacity when we get into doing animating, moving things around. We set Position Scale, will be in your Preset as well. So really handy for 'repeatable'ness. Can you see over here? For some reason that's the icon for your presets. It will show you, if you squint and look in there, actually has noise applied to it, and the orange and teal just gives you a kind of a-- tries to give you a preview. All right, that's presets, my friend. Let's get on to the next video.
