Adobe Premiere Pro for Beginners Course

Lesson 1 • Customizing and Saving Workspaces

Teaches panel resizing, docking, and saving custom layouts. Efficient workspace setup accelerates every editing session that follows.

Lesson 2 • Navigating Preferences and Settings

Explores key preference categories that affect performance and behaviour. Students configure Premiere Pro to match their hardware and workflow needs.

Lesson 3 • Understanding the Workspace Layout

Introduces every default panel and its role in the editing workflow. Students gain spatial familiarity needed for all subsequent tasks.

Lesson 4 • Installing and Launching the Application

Covers system requirements, Creative Cloud installation, and first launch. Establishes the technical baseline before any editing begins.

Lesson 1 • Importing Files into Your Project

Covers drag-and-drop, the Import dialog, and Media Browser methods. Students understand which import method suits each media source.

Lesson 2 • Working with the Media Browser

Teaches browsing, previewing, and importing directly from drives and cameras. Media Browser reduces duplicate files and speeds up ingest.

Lesson 3 • Organizing Bins and Folders

Introduces bin creation, nesting, and colour-coding strategies. Organised bins make locating assets fast during complex edits.

Lesson 4 • Managing Proxies for Smooth Editing

Introduces proxy workflows for high-resolution footage on limited hardware. Students toggle proxies without disrupting the final export quality.

Lesson 1 • Auto-Matching Sequences to Footage

Teaches the auto-match feature that sets sequence properties from a clip. Students avoid mismatched settings that cause black bars or scaling issues.

Lesson 2 • Creating Sequences from Presets

Guides students through preset categories for common delivery formats. Presets eliminate guesswork and ensure format compatibility from the start.

Lesson 3 • Working with Multiple Sequences

Covers creating, duplicating, and nesting sequences within a project. Multi-sequence workflows support complex projects and modular editing.

Lesson 1 • Trimming Clips in the Timeline

Teaches trim handles, keyboard-based trimming, and the Trim Monitor. Efficient trimming reduces assembly time and improves cut precision.

Lesson 2 • Using Markers for Navigation

Covers clip and sequence markers for notes, sync points, and navigation. Markers streamline collaboration and speed up revision rounds.

Lesson 3 • Working with Tracks and Layers

Explains video and audio track management, locking, and muting. Proper track discipline prevents accidental edits on critical layers.

Lesson 4 • Using Essential Editing Tools

Introduces the Selection, Razor, Ripple, and Rolling edit tools. Mastery of these tools forms the foundation of precise, professional cutting.

Lesson 1 • Applying Basic Audio Effects

Covers the Essential Sound panel, DeNoise, and EQ for common fixes. Students apply targeted corrections without requiring a dedicated audio application.

Lesson 2 • Understanding Audio Tracks and Channels

Explains mono, stereo, and adaptive track types and channel routing. Correct track configuration prevents audio routing errors in the mix.

Lesson 3 • Syncing Audio and Video

Introduces manual sync, waveform matching, and the Merge Clips feature. Proper sync ensures dialogue and action align throughout the edit.

Lesson 4 • Keyframing Audio Over Time

Covers adding and adjusting audio keyframes for dynamic level changes. Keyframed audio creates smooth fades, dips, and emphasis points.

Lesson 1 • Creating Text and Shape Layers

Teaches adding text, rectangles, and ellipses directly on the Program Monitor. Students build lower thirds and title cards from scratch.

Lesson 2 • Animating Graphics with Keyframes

Introduces position, scale, rotation, and opacity keyframes in the Effect Controls panel. Students create smooth entrance and exit animations for graphics.

Lesson 3 • Using Motion Graphics Templates

Covers browsing, applying, and customizing MOGRT files from Adobe Stock and local sources. Templates accelerate delivery without sacrificing visual quality.

Lesson 4 • Adding Transitions to Graphics

Covers applying video transitions to graphic clips for polished reveals. Transitions give graphics a professional, broadcast-quality appearance.

Lesson 1 • Understanding the Lumetri Colour Panel

Introduces the Lumetri Colour panel sections and the Lumetri Scopes. Scopes provide objective measurement that guides every correction decision.

Lesson 2 • Tone Curves and Colour Wheels

Covers the RGB Parade, Tone Curves, and Colour Wheels for precise tonal control. These tools enable fine adjustments beyond the Basic Correction sliders.

Lesson 3 • Applying and Saving LUTs and Looks

Covers applying input LUTs for log footage and creative LUTs for stylized looks. Students save and share Lumetri presets for consistent grading across clips.

Lesson 4 • Primary Correction: Exposure and White Balance

Teaches Basic Correction controls for exposure, contrast, highlights, and temperature. Primary correction establishes a neutral, technically correct image.

Lesson 1 • Configuring Video Export Settings

Covers format, codec, resolution, frame rate, and bitrate settings for common deliverables. Correct settings ensure quality and compatibility with each platform.

Lesson 2 • Exporting Audio and Captions

Teaches audio-only export, embedded captions, and sidecar caption file creation. Proper audio and caption export meets accessibility and platform requirements.

Lesson 3 • Exporting for Specific Platforms

Covers platform-specific presets for social media, streaming, and broadcast delivery. Students match export specs to each platform's published requirements.

Lesson 4 • Using Adobe Media Encoder

Introduces the Media Encoder queue, watch folders, and batch export. Media Encoder frees Premiere Pro for continued editing during long renders.
