Course Details

Description:

In this 3-day introductory course, participants will get a thorough overview of the interface, tools, features, and production flow for Premiere Pro CC. By creating a video project from start to finish, they will have an opportunity to utilize the main post-production skills: video and audio editing, transitions, color correction and grading, greenscreen keying, effects, titles and exporting. Participants will learn more than just the program workings, they will learn the common pit falls, best practices, and productivity shortcuts!

Prerequisites:

This class is appropriate for novice to intermediate level users. Bringing samples of the kinds of projects that you would like to be able to do is helpful but not required. We also recommend that you have the software installed before starting the class. You can purchase the software or obtain a trial version of it from the Adobe web site at www.adobe.com.
