Overview
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.

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.

Basically Premiere Pro is video editing, and After Effects is special effects. So Premiere Pro would be something you'd use, if you are going to make a how-to video, like this one, okay? If you are making a commercial, a documentary, a feature film, I can't think of anything else, but it's all to do with taking footage from a camera, generally, and doing cuts, doing transitions, doing some basic color correction, fixing the audio, and then sending it on its merry way.
After Effects on the other hand is all about motion graphics, and kinetic type, and if your logo needs to spin in, and spin around and catch fire for no good reason, that is After Effects. Let me show you a couple of examples just to make it crystal clear.
All right, a good example of what After Effects does is, kind of their-- their own website, you can see in the background here, the types of things that gets used. You can see kind of cool transitions and intro videos. There is special effects, a laser car, some-- just-- interesting, okay, special effects, but I feel like there is another side to After Effects, the side that I do more of. It's more like motion graphics, see this intro here, there's something similar to the beginning of these videos. There's a bit of camera work going on, and some zooming, and some, kind of animated graphics, you can see me interacting with, it's here, that's After Effects.
So more-- I do kind of more-- you can kind of see, motion graphic style stuff, animated infographics is what this course is, if you want to do After Effects, check out that, but there's a lot of cool stuff you can do like this in After Effects.
Other things that are quite cool, with more motion graphics, where, yeah, it's kind of more design style animations. You can kind of see all of this type stuff. Yes, there is After Effects, and Premiere Pro, let me show you some of-- let me show you an example. So this is one of the examples from the course that we're going to do. It's a short documentary on Parkour, and basically you can see in the footage here, is a bunch of mp4s I've recorded on a camera, there's some audio, and we combine it together to tell a story in the timeline over here.
Let's play it through, "When I first started doing Parkour, it was five years ago, and, there's a bit of interview in the background, we cut between a few different videos, "…watching videos, and blowing my mind, that some people can jump so far, and do some awesome tricks." - Wait for it. "I realize that there's no limits, all limits are… we fade in such dramatic music. Hah, look at that.
So yeah, Premiere Pro, documentaries, commercials, YouTube videos, how-to videos, anything that does videos, Premiere Pro is really good at doing it quickly, and outputting it quickly. Freaks out for special effects, does some stuff. We're going to do special effects in here, but After Effects freaks out at doing this kind of editing in front of us, but loves doing all the special effects.
Can you get away with using Premiere Pro without After Effects? Totally; Premiere Pro does a lot of the simple stuff, that you want to do in terms of special effects. It's just the more hardcore stuff you might have to jump out into After Effects.
All right, that's it, Premiere Pro, video editing, After Effects, special effects. Let's actually start one of our projects.
