Adobe Premiere Course

Lesson 1 • Playback and Monitoring Settings

Configure playback resolution, preview rendering, and external monitor output. Smooth playback is essential for accurate editorial decisions.

Lesson 2 • Understanding the Premiere Pro Interface

Identify every major panel and workspace zone in Premiere Pro. This orientation anchors all subsequent editing workflows.

Lesson 3 • Creating and Configuring a New Project

Set up a project with correct sequence settings matched to footage specs. Proper configuration prevents export and sync errors later.

Lesson 1 • Multicam Editing Workflow

Create a multicam sequence and switch angles in real time during playback. This workflow dramatically accelerates multi-camera event editing.

Lesson 2 • Adding Clips to the Timeline

Place clips onto the timeline using insert, overwrite, and drag methods. These placement techniques control how surrounding clips are affected.

Lesson 3 • Using Markers and Sequences

Place markers for notes and sync points, and manage multiple sequences within a project. Markers and nested sequences streamline complex edits.

Lesson 4 • Working with Audio in the Timeline

Adjust audio levels, link and unlink clips, and set keyframes for volume. Balanced audio is as critical as picture editing.

Lesson 1 • Working with Audio Transitions

Apply constant gain and constant power crossfades to smooth audio edits. Proper audio transitions prevent jarring cuts between clips.

Lesson 2 • Creating Pan and Zoom Effects

Simulate camera movement on still images and video using animated scale and position. This technique adds dynamism to static footage.

Lesson 3 • Applying Video Transitions

Add dissolves, wipes, and other transitions from the Effects panel to edit points. Transition choice communicates editorial intent and pacing.

Lesson 1 • Primary Color Correction

Adjust exposure, contrast, white balance, and saturation in the Basic Correction panel. Primary correction establishes a neutral, balanced starting point.

Lesson 2 • Reading Scopes and Analyzing Footage

Interpret the Waveform, Vectorscope, and Histogram to evaluate exposure and color. Scopes provide objective data that guides every correction decision.

Lesson 3 • Color Matching Across Clips

Use the Comparison View and Auto Match feature to match color between shots. Consistent color across a sequence maintains visual continuity.

Lesson 4 • Applying and Creating LUTs

Load technical and creative LUTs to transform footage quickly and consistently. LUTs accelerate grading and ensure cross-clip color consistency.

Lesson 1 • Designing Lower Thirds and Titles

Build lower thirds with background shapes, text, and entrance animations. Lower thirds identify speakers and reinforce brand identity.

Lesson 2 • Using Motion Graphics Templates

Install and customize MOGRT files from Adobe Stock or After Effects. Templates provide professional animation without requiring After Effects skills.

Lesson 3 • Creating Text with Essential Graphics

Add and style text layers directly on the timeline using the Essential Graphics panel. Text properties control typography, alignment, and animation.

Lesson 1 • Mixing Dialogue, Music, and SFX

Balance dialogue intelligibility against music beds and sound effects using ducking and keyframes. A well-balanced mix guides audience attention.

Lesson 2 • Audio Track Mixer Fundamentals

Route tracks, set fader levels, and apply sends using the Audio Track Mixer. Proper routing is the foundation of a clean, organized mix.

Lesson 3 • Exporting Audio for Delivery

Export stems, mixed tracks, and broadcast-compliant audio files from Premiere Pro. Correct export formats satisfy client and platform requirements.

Lesson 1 • Speed Ramping and Time Remapping

Create variable speed effects using Time Remapping keyframes for dramatic slow motion and speed ramps. Frame interpolation quality affects the final look.

Lesson 2 • Masking and Tracking

Draw freeform and shape masks on clips and track them through moving footage. Masks enable targeted effects and compositing on specific image regions.

Lesson 3 • Keying and Green Screen Removal

Use Ultra Key and Luma Key to remove backgrounds and composite subjects onto new environments. Clean keys require proper lighting and matte refinement.

Lesson 4 • Blend Modes and Opacity

Use blend modes and opacity to layer graphics, textures, and overlays creatively. Blend modes define how pixel values interact between layers.

Lesson 1 • Keyboard Shortcuts and Efficiency

Customize keyboard shortcuts and use panel presets to accelerate repetitive tasks. Efficiency habits compound into significant time savings across a career.

Lesson 2 • Project Management and Archiving

Use Project Manager to consolidate, trim, and archive completed projects. Proper archiving protects deliverables and enables future revisions.

Lesson 3 • Platform-Specific Export Presets

Apply and customize presets for broadcast, streaming platforms, and social media delivery. Each platform has unique resolution, frame rate, and bitrate requirements.

Lesson 4 • Exporting with Media Encoder

Send sequences to Adobe Media Encoder and configure codec, bitrate, and format settings. Media Encoder allows background encoding while editing continues.
