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, in this series we're going to talk about fixing audio, making it amazing, but there are times we just can't fix it. I'll let this guy with the headphones in the freezing cold explain why. 

Some audio just can't be fixed, when there's like inconsistent background noise, unlike a fan or A-con, you can kind of get rid of that. When there's ups and downs, like car noise, and the microphone's not great, would be hard work. 

Do you know what's also really hard to fix? Really bad microphones. So this laptop is my PC, it's ancient Lenovo, it's got Dolby written on it, and JBL written on it. I'm not sure what they did here, it definitely wasn't the microphone. So if you are recording on terrible microphones, it's kind of un-fixable. You can make it slightly better, but as you can hear, you probably can't fix this one. 

The other problem is, if you were really far away from your microphone. My microphone is up there, I'm far away from it. The further you are away, the worse it is, and often with pretty much all microphones, the closer you are the better sound you're going to get. I've got a shotgun microphone, just out of screen here, as close as I can get it down, without it being in shot. Oh geez, breaking. Broke some stuff, don't just pull on the microphone. The closer you are the better it is. I'm going to have to clean that up now. I'm sorry, I had to do it. 

Anyway, let's talk about bad audio. I guess those, that section there is not really to-- I don't want you to rush off and prove to me that that audio can be fixed. It's more there just to demonstrate that some audio is going to be-- that you're going to get handed, that you're going to record, it's going to be really bad, and there's not going to be a magic bullet, and there is lots of things that Premiere Pro can do, really well, and just fix magically. We're going to cover that in this course, but there are-- I just want to start with like, there are some that are just too far gone. 

Just as a weird Editor note, you'll notice there, when I cut to, from the beginning, kind of talking head stuff to the, in the street, was very like, when I was editing it I was like, there's a very dramatic cut. So I used audio transition, believe it or not, and I used Cross Dissolves, just because, you know, Page Peel. 

All right, let's go in and start fixing audio, rather than talking about broken stuff. All right, see you-- see you in the next video.
