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, I'm going to show you how to find, download, and install a template that you've downloaded from the internet. We're going to do this one, oh, look at the zoomy, it's got a bit of Motion Blur going. I'm going to show you where to find them, how to install them, plus some of the limitations. First of all though, actually before we get started, the easy one, if you just came for figuring out how to install it, go to 'Motion Graphics', 'Browse', and click that button. That's how you install one, but stick around if you want to learn a little bit more details, get into it. 

So finding stuff on the internet, we're going to look for free stuff, because, I don't know, I don't know why, is it just me? I've got money to pay for them, I just want to look, to see what the free stuff is first, and then maybe pay for it. Motion Array, if you do a Google search for 'Premiere Pro motion graphic templates', they appear quite heavily, and they got really nice stuff. What you can do is you get to here, and you can do things like-- they've got a really nice search feature, they support these video products really well. 

So I can go to Premiere Pro templates, and actually just hit 'Search', and it gives me everything, and then if you're cheap like me, go and turn this to 'Free', pop that back in and just see what they've got. So in here, remember we talked about the difference between presets and templates, presets are the things that, we did them way, way ago, and they end up in your Effects Panel. Remember we did our own preset, that's a preset, often, it is things like color grading, so you can look in here for those as well. Templates is more motion graphic templates, and there's a bunch in here. Yeah, well thought out, well considered from this site. I've downloaded one for us, but you can download them. You've got to click on the 'Download' button. There's a cool little preview. Then you hit 'Download', you need to give them your email to get it. It's the ethical bribe if you go into their emailing list, but they're pretty good with not spamming you, to send you useful stuff. Obviously you can unsubscribe, you'll end up with something like this. 

So in your 'Exercise Files', under 'Project 4', I've put the little download. Let's tidy this up. Under 'Motion Array', and that's what I downloaded. It comes as a zip file, I opened it up, and these three things were in there. This is the thing you want, the mogrt, and this is a font link, a little PDF explaining how to install it, but that's my job right now. The Link one becomes useful because they've used a font called Roboto, which might not be linked to Adobe Fonts, it might not come down automatically. I know I already have Roboto installed on my machine, because I use it for other things, but often it can be really helpful to figure out what font is needed, to go off and install it, even tells you where to get it from. Typekit, which is what they used to call Adobe Fonts. Anyway, let's look at installing it. 

Installing it is easy, over in your Essential Graphics panel, go to 'Browse'. Let's go to this little button down here. Look, even tells us, 'Install motion graphics template'. Find it in your Exercise Files. Doesn't matter where you've downloaded it from as long as it is called, this one here, m-o-g-r, g-r-t, mogrt, motion graphics template. Click open, and it will-- I already have it, because I've already installed it, and it will appear. You can get lucky by going, let's sort by recent, oh, look, and it appeared, but often it doesn't. If it was made three years ago it could be at the bottom. So you might have to just try and remember what it's called, and you might have to type it in. There's my one there, and I'm going to install it, by clicking-- actually I need to make a duplicate. I'm going to call this one 'Course V4'. Let's delete what we have in there, go, get rid of the music. 

Let's find it, under 'Browse', drag it in. Awesome. It's going to pretty much stress your machine out pretty badly, even though it's a kind of a simple thing, basically anything that uses something called Motion Blur while it's moving, really freaks Premiere Pro out, looks cool though, so it's worth it. So what we're going to do is, we're going to lower the quality over here to '1/4'. I'm not going to pre-render it because I want to change the text. I'm just going to get a look of it. Yeah, it's playing a bit slowly. I find sometimes it does-- I don't need to see it in like actual time, I can just grab my CTI and just slowly move it across myself. That's enough of a preview for me. Even though it's not in real time it's a little bit jumpy, I find that's a easy way to test it. 

Let's have a look what they've done. So again, no changing of the font, I can live with that, kind of. So pretty-- pretty basic. You can see, got some cool stuff going on in here that I can change, change the color, the text, I'm not going to run through all of that, it's pretty self-explanatory. The thing that I might do is, let's change this to 100% Pure. And I also want to go through and maybe put more than one in, because I like this kind of zoom effect. So I'm going to tuck this in, so it disappears. I'm going to do-- copy it, I'm going to paste it. Remember, just paste it over here, drag it back in. Don't tell anyone. 

Drag this one on top, so we've got this kind of, like pacing, and that one doesn't disappear, just kind of goes over the top. Doesn't make much sense, if you don't change the color, so I'm going to pick a new color, and let's change it from '100% Pure' to 'Visit New Zealand'. So, space bar, lowest quality, still not going to work. I'll pre-render it for you so you can get a sense of it. That one needs to be probably longer. I'll see you in a second. We're back, I hope we got the timing right, 100%, Pure, New Zealand, look at that, we're doing it. It's beautiful, so that's really cool thing about Premiere Pro, and those mogrt templates, is that you can find lots online now, and again I'm not kind of advocating for always looking for free, because we'll do some premium ones in the next video, just give you a look. 

Actually it felt like I was finishing up, there's one last thing I want to show you. Oh, I want Visit New Zealand to be on two lines. Don't worry, just put a 'return' in there. Look in here, let's have a look. So there's just, this is like, ugh. That's the problem with sometimes using somebody else's template, and you're like, "What do I do? I can't play around with any of that", there's no space after or line spacing. Just have to live with that, and try and work around it. I guess I don't want to make it seem like it's perfect all the time. I want to show you some of the issues that face us all as Premiere Pro video creators. All right, that's it, let's jump into the next video.
