Overview

Opening Adobe Premiere Pro for the first time can be a very intimidating experience. Numerous windows, multiple buttons, and what seems like an endless amount of settings! Not to worry, I'm here to help guide you through the video editing process within Adobe Premiere Pro.

My name is Sean Dykink, and I'm a filmmaker and video editor from Canada! I've been working in a number of studio and freelance roles professionally since 2006.

In this class, you will learn the basic video editing process from project creation to export within Adobe Premiere Pro. This is a follow-along tutorial aimed at providing you with the "how" and "why" when editing video within Adobe Premiere Pro.

  • Get up and running in Adobe Premiere Pro

  • Grow confidence in your video editing skills

My ultimate goal is to equip you with a solid technical understanding of the basics of Adobe Premiere Pro, so you feel confident and prepared when tackling your next video editing project.
