Audio Editing & Mixing | Adobe Premiere Pro 2021 Masterclass

It’s now time to download all the material needed for the course. You will need 250MBs of free disk space in your machine to be able to download it and follow the course properly.

Here in the resources you will find 2 links that will download the Material automatically once clicked.

You will download the.ZIP file named:

- Premiere Pro 2020_S.14_Audio Editing & Mix_MATERIAL.zip

- Premiere Pro_Shortcuts.pdf

Once downloaded the file I recommend copying it somewhere in your machine and unzip it.

Inside the main folder you’ll find a PDF with some of the most useful keyboard shortcuts.

And you'll also find the video clips and music needed for the class.

Inside the main folder you will find 2 subfolders, one called "S.14_Lecture" (where you will find the material for that specific section and where you will save the project for that section too) and one called "S.14_Exercise" (where you will find the material for the same section's exercise and where you will save the project for that exercise).

Everything will make sense as soon as we start with the first lecture.

After completing your exercise on your own, in the Course Content, you’ll see an “Exercise Review” video, where I do the exercise too. This is for you to double check what you have done and can be used as a reminder for anything you might have missed. Also, before the exercise, still in the Course Content, you will find a quiz to revise what you’ve just learned.

Don’t worry now, after a few sections together you’ll get use to the workflow.

Also in the Course Content you will see the Section number, which does not match with the Section number of the actual course.

Great, now that you have what’s needed, let’s get to know Adobe Premiere.

FOR WINDOWS USERS:

When you download the Material folders, you'll see some files named "._.DS.Store", ".DS.Store" and also the video files starting with "._". These are all files of reference that Mac computers create. Just ignore them.

You will be able to import the files in Premiere by just ignoring those DS files, when prompted.
