Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

Join thousands of students in one of the largest and most popular video editing courses for beginner's. This course is a one-stop-shop that has everything you need to become a confident editor inside Premiere Pro.

If you've taken a quick look at Adobe Premiere Pro and are completely overwhelmed by the features and have no clue how to start editing your first video, you have come to the right course.

For the first few months of my editing journey, I battled the same problems you have and I felt like I'd never figure it out. Adobe Premiere Pro seemed so complicated and the learning curve was painful.

As a self-taught video editor with 7+ years experience exclusively with Adobe Premiere Pro, I am proud to say that I am truly happy with the quality of the videos I am producing for YouTube. I wish I had this course when I first started, it would have saved me years of pain and suffering!

What You'll Learn In This Course

I've edited all of my videos with Adobe Premiere Pro so I'll be teaching you how to edit stunning videos for YouTube (and other platforms) in Adobe Premiere Pro without all of the unnecessary complexity that you'll find in other courses.

There are two projects in this course. You'll create a travel montage and a talking head video (all exercise files supplied).

Some of the topics I'll cover include;

What makes me qualified to teach you?

In 2016, I had zero video editing experience, no laptop, no students and no YouTube channel. Fast forward to June 2023, I have;

  • Over 26k YouTube subs across 2 channels.

  • 316,000 students in my programs and courses

  • Over 6,800 reviews

Trust me, as I review my stats it sounds crazy to me too! I never expected in a million years to be in my current position with these achievements. I started with nothing. If I can do it, I am confident that you can do it too.

What Makes This Course Different?

My ambition with this course is to take 7 years of my video editing knowledge and experience, and put it in an easy-to-follow course so you can learn in 1 week what has taken the last 7 years to learn. This course is the most comprehensive beginner editing course where, by the end of the course, you'll feel confident editing your own amazing video projects.
