This full day, intermediate-level Adobe Premiere workshop is recommended for anyone who already understands the core competencies of the Premiere editing suite, or for anyone who has used Premiere on‐and‐off but wants better mastery of the software.

LEVEL II - This workshop is intended for those who already have basic knowledge of Adobe Premiere, either from prior training or real world experience.

The four sections of material to be covered in the workshop are as follows:

Color Correction: Explore primary color grading, luminance correction, the Reference Monitor, Fast Color Corrector, secondary color correction with the motion trackers in CC, Adjustment Layers, white balance (including indoor vs. outdoor), skin tones, and plug-in effects like Lumetri color engine.

Audio Post-Production: Topics to be covered include interview surgery (e.g., killing long, awkward pauses), room tone, smooth transitions and the sound of a breath, noise reduction using a noise print in Audition, spectral layers for sound removal, high-pass and low-pass filters for wind, hum, and feedback attenuation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround mixing, and creating markers for music cues.

Multi-Camera Editing: Explore multi-camera editing, including how to deal with multi-camera sequences and nested sequences, picking camera “angles” in real-time, synchronization of multiple sources with external audio, and getting multiple focal lengths from a single camera.

If time and interest permits, we will also cover:

Special Effects for Documentary: While documentaries typically use fewer special effects than narrative films, some can still benefit filmmakers seeking cost-effective post-production solutions. This section covers special effects options and plug-ins in Premiere, such as adjusting frame rates, flicker elimination, object removal, face blurring, and shot stabilization. Note: The focus here is on Premiere and its plug-ins, rather than After Effects or other software.
