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.

Hey everyone, this video we're going to talk about some more of the technical problems that happens with audio. So up until now we've just had like bad audio, it's been recorded fine, just not the best. From now on, in the next sections, the next few videos we're going to talk about just really kind of technical problems that can happen with audio. 

The first one, I guess an easy enough one, is let's say that I add this footage to this sequence. What you'll notice is that there's no waveform. You can see down here, in the bottom right hand corner, it is slowly but surely, generating peak file for my really big video. Now what's happening there? Now, my computer's pretty fast, so I found the biggest mp4 I could find to make that happen. Most of the time I just drag it in, and it just flashes through. I have had all the computers where, I spent ages doing it, and if you don't notice down there, you'd think, "It's broken, what's wrong?" And you spent ages trying to fix it, then one day-- a minute later it starts working, and you're like, "Huh, that's weird." 

Basically, Premiere Pro sometimes when it's dealing with, it's called an audio codec, It's a bit nerdy, but it's the way that the audio file is being kind of created. Sometimes Premiere Pro needs to rebuild it, needs to say, "I don't like it, the way that you've given it to me." I'm going to make this kind of like, little separate file to work with, because it's easier, quicker, and plays back nicely. And you will notice it down the bottom, right there, going up and down. Okay, it never goes down, just up. 

The other thing is, sometimes the waveform just doesn't appear. Just, it's blank, it plays, you can, like play it and hear it, but it will not actually be visible. This is like a glitch, happens every now and again. If you re-import it, it comes back, close Premiere Pro and open it again it comes back. So don't stress if there is no visible waveform. It will render just fine, just might-- it's just a glitch. So let's get into some more technical problems that you can run into in audio.
