Intro to Adobe Premiere Pro Video Editing

This training workshop is designed for anyone new to the Adobe Creative Cloud video editing program Premiere Pro; anyone switching from other editing software like Final Cut Pro; or anyone who has used Premiere on-and-off but wants to master the software.  You’ll learn the interface, how to establish a workflow, ingest video, use tools to cut/trim/move/place your material where you want it, incorporate still pictures, and add basic transitions/titles/audio and video effects.  Source footage is provided for participants who will work on Mac workstations (two participants to a computer).

This class takes place once a week for four consecutive weeks (Wednesdays from 7:00–10:00 pm) at the new Docs In Progress location at 801 Wayne Avenue.

LEVEL
I/II – No prior training at Docs In Progress required.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

H. Paul Moon is a filmmaker, composer and video artist who edits all of his projects using Adobe Premiere Pro. Moon’s debut was the award-winning El Toro — an experimental work that explores connections between the ancient ritual of Spanish bullfights, and the passion of the Christ. Prior to El Toro, Moon filmed the award-winning documentary R. Luke DuBois: Running Out of Time, profiling a composer and visual artist who explores cultural and romantic memory. Other selected films include: the documentary Hamac Cazíim, about a punk band using music to maintain their indigenous heritage; Time Crunch, a collaboration with composer Jordan Kuspa; and Simple Machines with an original music score by R. Luke DuBois — all official selections at film festivals internationally. His newest documentaries are LowerTown Paducah, about an artist relocation program in Kentucky, and The Saxon New World, about 19th-century settlers in rural Missouri. Projects still in production include four feature-length documentaries: about the American composer Samuel Barber, cowboy poetry, Fluxus art, and the life of Whittaker Chambers — an espionage thriller. Moon is credentialed as an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) in Premiere. Selected video samples are available at http://vimeo.com/channels/zen.
