What you learn in Premiere Pro Courses

When you attend Premiere Pro courses you learn the video editing skills needed to create content that can be shared online, through social media or broadcast. The Premiere Pro courses for beginners starts with fundamentals, teaching you how to add, edit, and trim both video and audio within a timeline.

More advanced Premiere Pro courses teach you sophisticated masking, additional transition techniques, and nested timelines. You also learn color correction and color grading to ensure consistency across an entire video, regardless of different lighting conditions during filming. All courses teach efficient workflows and best practices for exporting and encoding videos across various devices. While Premiere Pro courses emphasize the app itself, you also learn essential skills relating to video production and planning. For those who want to learn how to plan and organize video shoots, storyboarding, scripting, and effective planning, there is a separate video production course available.

Video editing is the cornerstone of Premiere Pro training, and there are courses available for beginners and more experienced users. Video editing topics include importing video, working within the interface, effectively using A Roll and B Roll footage, editing techniques, managing tracks, and incorporating imported graphics. The courses also cover the process for creating credits and controlling their speed, as well as creating titles. For those who want a comprehensive approach to learning video editing, the Premiere Pro bootcamp teaches introductory through advanced skills. The advanced Premiere Pro courses also introduce you to visual effects. Although advanced effects are covered in After Effects classes, the Premiere Pro training includes essential video effects, such as working with greenscreen footage or stabilizing video.
