-: You have taken a great first step
to becoming an Adobe Premiere Pro video editor.
Welcome to the course.
I'm so excited to have you here.
In this video, I wanna give you
a little bit more information about me
and my background so you're comfortable
taking this course from me,
and then talk about how the course is structured
and the course project,
which I think will be a fun way
for you to learn Premiere Pro.
As I mentioned in the promo video,
I've edited thousands of videos
over the past few years in Premiere Pro.
I started editing back, way back in high school
I studied film production in college
and I focused on the editing
and post-production aspect of it.
It was a great decision
because I've built a career on editing videos.
Some of you might be here
because you want to become a professional video editor,
but others of you might be here
just because you want to learn how to edit
your own home videos,
or maybe you have a YouTube channel
that you're trying to grow,
or maybe you're creating your own online courses.
Whatever your path is,
I welcome you and I'm happy to have you here.
You will learn real world skills with this course.
Here's a sample of what you'll be able to do,
even if you've never opened up Premiere Pro.
After just a couple hours,
you'll have edited this film
or even made a short documentart
with your own footage.
But if you don't have any footage, no worries,
because I provide all of the
sample video, audio, graphics, photos, music and more
for you to use with this class.
If you look at the outline for the course,
you'll see that it's structured
in the way that I would actually edit a project.
We'll start by learning
how to import and organise our footage.
We'll learn the basic editing tools
and how to put together a sequence.
We'll then add music,
learn how to edit audio and make audio sound better.
We'll learn how to add transitions
and titles and graphics.
Finally, once we have a polished piece,
we'll learn how to export it,
specifically exporting HD files for web.
After these lessons, I've included a number of
lessons that will give you pro techniques
and other tools that you can use
within Adobe Premiere for your own projects.
Get ready to dive right into
Adobe Premiere Pro in the next lesson.
