Why study this course

This one-day Adobe Premiere Pro® Basics course is designed for beginners aiming to swiftly become proficient in Premiere Pro, the industry's leading video editing software.

Premiere Pro is perfect for designers, marketers, educators, and editors looking to create professional digital videos and special effects. What was once exclusive to high-end broadcasting is now crucial across the marketing spectrum, from website content to eLearning, social media, product demonstrations, promotional content, and for boosting the impact of conferences, events, and corporate videos. The latest version (CC 2024) is equipped with features and workflows not found in previous versions.

Ideal for those who need to produce and edit videos for social media channels and websites, the course covers basic video editing techniques, simple effects, and transitions, as well as adding titles, images, logos, and implementing best practices for cutaways, especially for interviews. Learn to export/publish your videos to meet the specifications of various social media platforms and devices, such as mobile phones.
