Adobe Premiere Pro is the industry-standard editing software used by professionals. In the first unit of this certificate program, you'll learn skills to create polished video projects in Premiere Pro, including how to import footage, organize your media in a timeline, speed up and slow down footage, color-correct video, and other foundational editing techniques. Whether you're thinking of starting a YouTube channel or considering a career in the film industry, this class will get you started.
Once you've learned Premiere Pro, you'll take your skills to the next level by learning more advanced techniques using After Effects. From 3D layer animation to motion tracking and masking, you'll learn how to create dynamic graphics that are used in movies, TV shows, and video games.
