Adobe Premiere Editing Class
This three-day, hands-on course teaches students hard-to-find editing and finishing techniques with an emphasis on outdoor production. Learn how to create polished transitions, edit multi-camera projects, creating a storyline, and learn how to composite like a pro. We also cover workflows for managing music and working with different video files.
On the first day of class, you will get to know Adobe Premiere basic functions including the layout of the software, importing files, and how to manage those files. You will learn the importance and creative process of building a storyboard. You will dive into the editing of different video clips and the timeline. Primary and secondary angles of a Turkey Hunt along with some B-Roll footage will be given to you for you to create and edit a basic story.
The second day of the editing class is all about fine tuning an edit. You will be given primary and secondary angles of an Antelope Hunt with interview clips and b-roll footage to build another basic story. The instructors will walk you through when to use and not to use transitions, sound effects, music, color correction, lower thirds, J cuts and L cuts. Close to the end of the day you will be preparing and starting the final edit of a Whitetail hunt with primary, secondary angles, interviews, and B-roll footage.
On the third day, you will learn about exporting formats and using Encore to burn a DVD. You will add the final touches to your edits before the class critique. There will be a class critique of all final edits in which you have the opportunity to see how others cut the same footage differently. After all the critiques and instructor tips are complete, a certificate presentation will follow.
- All computers brought by students must have a 7200 rpm hard drive! This is very important. Editing video won't work on a 5600 rpm drive. Its just too slow.
- Everyone needs to bring a pair of headphones.
- Even if using a laptop, we recommend everyone has a mouse.
- The class will be taught using Adobe Premiere CS 5.5 however there are several versions of Premiere that will be allowed if you have already purchased the software. You must come prepared with it pre installed on your computer. Call for details
