Adobe Premiere Training Course

 

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
Duration: 2 days
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

Course Synopsis: Adobe Premiere Pro is a powerful program for editing digital video. Premiere helps you create dynamic video or film. This course helps you understand and work with basic through advanced concepts and features of Adobe Premiere. You will run through a typical series of steps for creating, editing and fine-tuning a series of video pieces. We also recommend this course for those planning to obtain the Adobe Certified Expert status.

Who Should Attend: Graphic professionals who need an extensive understanding of motion graphics editing. Experienced users will also benefit from the many tips and tricks and special exercises.

Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class. We highly recommend working with the application tutorial before coming to the course.
