Technical Requirements
This course assumes little to no prior knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro.

The course will be broadly useful to not only those working in film but also those who have to edit and produce good quality videos in the course of their work, such as marketers, educators, non-profit staff, artists and students, or for personal use such as home movies and videos to document holidays or special family occasions.

Participants can use Objectifs’ iMacs which are installed with Adobe Premiere Pro CC, or are welcome to bring their own laptops with the software installed (download a free seven day trial here). Sample files will be provided by the instructor for use during in-class exercises, as well as comprehensive notes.

Participants are encouraged to bring in raw video footage of projects they are currently working on to use as material in the class, and exercises will be tailored according to each participant’s specific needs. Participants will also be invited to workshop on and give feedback to other participants’ projects in a collegial atmosphere that will be facilitated by the instructor.
