About the event
Editing is where a pile of clips becomes something worth watching. This four-hour class takes you through Adobe Premiere Pro from the ground up — no prior editing experience assumed.
We start with project setup and media management, because a disorganized project is the fastest way to lose an afternoon. From there we move into the timeline: cutting, trimming, ripple and roll edits, and the keyboard shortcuts that make editing feel fast instead of frustrating. We cover audio levels and cleanup, basic color correction, titles and lower thirds, and simple transitions used with restraint.
The session closes with export settings — the right specs for Instagram, YouTube, and client delivery — so you leave knowing not just how to cut a video, but how to hand one off.
