Modules

Preparing to Edit

14m

In this lesson I'll introduce you to Premiere Pro and (if you haven't already) show you where to find and download the program. You'll be best friends in no time.

We'll also cover:

• How to open Premiere Pro and save your working file.

• How to import your video and audio.

• The Premiere Pro interface.

• The four main sections you need to get started.

Plus, I'll show you how to set up your very first timeline to prepare for our editing magic. See you in the classroom!

Building the Base of Your Edit

16m

In this lesson, I'll show you how to best approach your edit so you can achieve an awesome end result.

We'll also cover:

• How to find stock music and import audio files into Premiere Pro.

• A quick overview of the timeline, and we discuss the audio and video sections within.

• Tools and tricks, including turning on your waveform view, adjusting the volume of clips and using the "Razor" tool to cut video and audio files.

Finally, I'll show you how to edit your music track to the right length. This will set us up to edit our pictures to in the next lesson. See you in the classroom!

Editing Your Story

31m

In this lesson, I'll teach you my approach for ordering clips to best tell your story. A linear edit (sequential footage) is a common approach for many beginners. I'll show you how to sift through content to achieve the best results in lightning speed!
