FEATURED REVIEW:

"This is the course I was waiting for: I am used to other videoediting systems (like Avid for example) and I have been trying to learn Adobe Premiere for years (last January I made another trial) but no course could nail the information in my head, until now! Mariano's course is excellent: it's easy to follow and covers all the necessary aspects of the videoediting, including the initial settings and the organisation of the workflow. It's fab that the material for the exercises is included too! Mariano is a very nice and likeable instructor with a good sense of humour, the lessons are well paced and easy to follow. I would recommend this course to any beginner as well as to professionals like me who find difficult to make the leap to Adobe Premiere." by Cristina Pavesi

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

You’ll learn the whole professional video editing process, including how to create and organise projects, how to edit, apply effects and transitions, how to mix your audio, to colour correct and colour grade the video, how to add captions and how to export your final product for the online platforms in different aspect ratios. And of course, we’ll cover the most useful keyboard shortcuts.

IT WILL BE FUN!

We’ll work together on a different project for each section, with different types of footage (all provided) including mini docs, interviews, travel vlogs and sports videos. This will give you the ability to learn different editing styles and to be flexible in your workflow.

At the end of each chapter you will also find a quiz and an exercise to complete on your own. But do not worry, you will also find an exercise review where I complete the same exercise so that you’ll be able to double check your work.

We'll wrap up the course with a final exercise that will revise all the skills learned.

MY PROMISE TO YOU

Once you'll have completed the course, you'll be able to create a video project on your own, from start to end, with professional standards! Enrol now and let's start learning and practicing.


PS: This course was built on Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 of Creative Cloud, Version 14.0.0 and 14.3.0 on a Mac Computer and it is suitable for Windows users too (some commands will be different, please NOTE).

Course UPDATED on 1ST JUNE 2021 with V.15.

For Windows users

If, when importing the material into Premiere Pro, you see some warning board about "._.DS.Store", just keep pressing "OK" and ignore all the files named "._.DS.Store", ".DS.Store" and also the video files starting with "._"

These are only files of reference not needed to follow the course normally.

Who this course is for:

  • You are a complete beginner who never approached a video editing software.
  • You are starting vlogging and you want to build a youtube channel or create content for social media.
  • You're switching from a different video editing software and you need solid and clear foundations of Adobe Premiere Pro.
  • You're willing to make video editing your career. This can be the very first mile stone.
  • You want to understand the whole video editing process and get professional tips and tricks.

Course content

21 sections • 137 lectures

Welcome Preview 02:07

Ciao! In this video I introduce myself and share some more info about the course.

Material download and guidelines Preview 09:42

It’s now time to download all the material needed for the course. You will need 2.5 GBs of free disk space in your machine to be able to download it and follow the course properly.

Here in the resources you will find two links that will download automatically the Material, which had to be split into two parts due to the files' size.

You will download two .ZIP files named:

- Premiere Pro 2020_Beginners Course_MATERIAL_01.zip

- Premiere Pro 2020_Beginners Course_MATERIAL_02.zip

Once downloaded those files I recommend copying them somewhere in your machine and unzip them.

Inside each file you will find the Folders for the individual SECTIONS, Section Numbers and relative Titles (S.00_xxx). As you can see, the sections start from number S.02 as the first Section doesn’t require any material or exercise.

In the file "Premiere Pro 2020_Beginners Course_MATERIAL_01" you will find the sections from 02 to 11 and in the file "Premiere Pro 2020_Beginners Course_MATERIAL_02" you will find the sections from 12 to 18.

I'd suggest to Create a new Main Folder called "Premiere Pro 2020_Beginners Course_MATERIAL" and drag all the sections in there, to have everything in the same place.

Inside each Sections folder you will find 2 subfolders, one called "S.xx_Lecture" (where you will find the material for that specific section and where you will save the project for that section too) and one called "S.xx_Exercise" (where you will find the material for the same section's exercise and where you will save the project for that exercise).

Everything will make sense as soon as we start with the first lecture.

After completing your exercise on your own, in the Course Content, you’ll see an “Exercise Review” video, where I do the exercise too. This is for you to double check what you have done and can be used as a reminder for anything you might have missed. Also, for each section, before the exercise, still in the Course Content, you will find a quiz to revise what you’ve just learned.

Don’t worry now, after a few sections together you’ll get use to the workflow.

You'll also find a list of the keyboard shortcuts used in the course.

Great, now that you have what’s needed, let’s get to know Adobe Premiere.


FOR WINDOWS USERS:

When you download the Material folders, you'll see some files named "._.DS.Store", ".DS.Store" and also the video files starting with "._". These are all files of reference that Mac computers create. Just ignore them.

You will be able to import the files in Premiere by just ignoring those DS files, when prompted.
