Adobe Premiere Pro Getting Started

Premiere Pro Getting Started is a 2 day hands on training course which covers the basics of using Adobe Premiere Pro. The course starts at the very beginning discussing concepts like storyboarding, resolution and frame rate.

You will learn how to import footage, take clips and create your own sequences. Within these sequences you will then make adjustments with a variety of editing tools such as slip and slide or ripple and roll.

As the course progresses you will learn how to apply transitions and adjust them, create titles and edit them, and apply things like captions to your video.

In addition to the video editing process you will also learn to work with audio, apply effects, work with ducking and lots more.

If you want to get up and running quickly and professionally with Premiere Pro this live course is the answer.
