Premiere Pro for Beginners – Learn by Doing from Udemy

A complete Premiere Pro CC course for beginners that will teach you all the Fundamentals of Premiere Pro by practicing and doing exercises.

All you need to start this course is the Adobe Premiere Pro software and nothing else, you don't need to have any prerequisite knowledge.

Learn by Doing

This is not a course where you can just sit down, watch and absorb information. You don't really learn anything that way, instead, I want you to learn by doing.

We will get started by exploring the Premiere Pro app, navigating, moving around and knowing some basic tools then we will go straight to doing exercises.

With every new exercise, we will discover a new Tool or a new Technique in Premiere Pro.

This course is structured in 5 Chapters :

Getting Started
Editing
Motion Graphics
Transitions & Effects
Color

We will start by simple and easy exercises and as we advance, things will gradually become more and more challenging.

But it's very important that you do the exercises and I can't stress this enough.

If you are planning to just watch the course the same way you watch Netflix, then you probably shouldn't waste your time.

My Promise to You :

If you are dedicated and do all the exercises along with me, at the end of the course, I guarantee you will know all the basics and will be able to use Premiere Pro with ease.

With more practice and advanced learning you can become a master Editor.

Reviews summary

Hands-on premiere pro for beginners

According to students, this course is a highly effective entry point into video editing, particularly excelling through its 'learn by doing' approach. Learners consistently praise the clear explanations and perfect pacing for beginners, allowing them to confidently grasp Premiere Pro fundamentals. The instructor's quality and the inclusion of practical exercises and project files are frequently highlighted as significant strengths, making the learning process engaging and results-oriented. While some express a desire for deeper dives into advanced topics or occasional updates for newer software versions, the course is overwhelmingly seen as providing a strong foundation for aspiring editors and content creators.

Highly relevant, but minor updates for UI changes could help.

"My only minor feedback would be to perhaps add a quick update on any UI changes in newer Premiere Pro versions, but it's still very relevant."

"Some of the exercise files seemed a bit dated, and I had to improvise a little with newer versions of Premiere Pro."

"It would be great if the instructor updated the course occasionally to reflect new Premiere Pro features or UI changes."

Provides strong basics, but not advanced topic coverage.

"Some topics could benefit from slightly deeper dives for those looking to expand beyond the very basics, but for beginners, it's comprehensive."

"I wish there was a bit more on audio mixing or advanced color grading, but I understand it's a beginner course."

"The content is solid for fundamentals, but don't expect deep dives into every feature."

Instructor provides easy-to-follow, precise guidance.

"Fantastic instructor! His explanations are clear and he makes learning fun."

"The instructor breaks down complex topics into easy-to-understand segments."

"I appreciated the emphasis on exercises... The instructor is clear and easy to follow."

Ideal for those with no prior video editing experience.

"Excellent for absolute beginners! I had zero experience and now I can edit videos for my YouTube channel."

"The instructor's pace is perfect for beginners, and the project files are a huge plus. Highly recommend!"

"It provides a strong fundamental understanding. I went from knowing nothing to confidently editing videos."

Emphasizes practical application through exercises.

"This course is exactly what I needed... The 'learn by doing' approach is phenomenal; I genuinely feel confident using the software after completing the exercises."

"I've tried other Premiere Pro courses, but this one truly delivers on its promise of 'learn by doing'. The exercises are well-designed..."

"The constant exercises really make the learning stick. I feel I gained practical skills, not just theoretical knowledge."

Mostly good pace, but occasionally fast for some learners.

"I sometimes felt a bit rushed in certain sections, or that more advanced techniques were just touched upon without full explanation."

"I struggled a bit with the pace; it felt too fast at times, especially when trying to follow along with the exercises."

"I found some of the explanations a bit fast, and if you get stuck, the support isn't always immediate."
