Class Objective: Turn your footage into a powerful short documentary and release it to the world.
This course will give you a solid foundation on Adobe Premiere Pro and the exact step-by-step blueprint I follow to edit all my documentary projects.
By the end of this course, you will have learned the entire editing workflow, and have a polished, edited video ready to post!
Everything that I will teach you is a lessons I’ve learned as a filmmaker over the past 20 years. All the lessons are broken down into bite-size information to follow with ease.
Class Overview
First, we learn the steps to follow to set up properly all our footage, folders, Premiere project, and sequences. We will establish a timeline and lay our footage and audio, and you will have a blueprint to follow each time, saving you confusion and frustration.
Second, when we have synchronized our audio and the main interview, we will start cutting that up and adding our broll, background music, lower thirds, graphics, images, audio, and video transitions to tell a cohesive story.
And finally, I will end by adding our music and exporting our complete documentary.
I will explain all of this using as a case study one of the short documentaries I worked on so you can follow up with editing your footage and posting it in the class project. I will be able to answer any questions you might have and give you feedback through the process.
Please, feel free to ask any questions that you have, and also as you edit share your clips in the project section to get feedback.
And also, check my other courses here.
Looking forward to supporting you in this class and beyond.
