[00:00:00] welcome to this premiere pro tutorial on

[00:00:00] how to make the most of this series i am

[00:00:00] luisa winters i am a musician editor

[00:00:00] pilot and business owner i am also a

[00:00:00] teacher i have been working and teaching

[00:00:00] adobe products for well over two decades

[00:00:00] and cannot imagine doing my work without

[00:00:00] the creative cloud toolset

[00:00:00] in this series we will use files that

[00:00:00] you can download please follow the link

[00:00:00] on the description to download these

[00:00:00] files and save them locally in your

[00:00:00] system i saved mine on my desktop

[00:00:00] once you download the files and look at

[00:00:00] them you will notice that there are

[00:00:00] folders and files inside of this

[00:00:00] location

[00:00:00] these files are premiere pro projects

[00:00:00] that refer to these other files here

[00:00:00] inside of the footage folder

[00:00:00] we will use the same assignment which is

[00:00:00] a coffee shop advertisement throughout

[00:00:00] the entire series

[00:00:00] but we are providing an updated version

[00:00:00] of the premiere pro project file for

[00:00:00] each tutorial

[00:00:00] you can choose to either keep on working

[00:00:00] on the original premiere pro project

[00:00:00] throughout the series or just jump in at

[00:00:00] any point and start following along

[00:00:00] using the project file for that specific

[00:00:00] tutorial

[00:00:00] let's open the footage folder and see

[00:00:00] what's in there

[00:00:00] once you double-click it you see that

[00:00:00] there are three more folders in here one

[00:00:00] for audio one for graphics and one for

[00:00:00] video we will be referring to these

[00:00:00] assets as we go throughout this training

[00:00:00] next i want to say that the files that

[00:00:00] we are using for you to go through the

[00:00:00] training are to be used only for your

[00:00:00] learning purposes and not for anything

[00:00:00] else

[00:00:00] i would also like to mention that i may

[00:00:00] be working with a different screen

[00:00:00] resolution than you and that's because

[00:00:00] i'm recording the screen so our screens

[00:00:00] may not look exactly the same but they

[00:00:00] should be similar enough for you to

[00:00:00] easily follow the training

[00:00:00] in this series we assume that you're

[00:00:00] familiar with your computer system and

[00:00:00] that you're comfortable with it

[00:00:00] also i am using and recording on a

[00:00:00] windows system but you may be using a

[00:00:00] mac this is not a problem i will mention

[00:00:00] any kind of differences between the two

[00:00:00] as i go through the topics and will give

[00:00:00] you keyboard shortcuts and menu

[00:00:00] locations in both windows and mac

[00:00:00] if i don't mention the differences

[00:00:00] between windows and mac and any

[00:00:00] particular keyboard shortcut or menu

[00:00:00] location it's because it's the same no

[00:00:00] matter which system you're using

[00:00:00] what will we cover in this series

[00:00:00] this series was designed with

[00:00:00] certification in mind

[00:00:00] meaning that in addition to covering the

[00:00:00] basics of using premiere pro

[00:00:00] we will touch on many of the essential

[00:00:00] skills workflows and concepts that you

[00:00:00] must know to pass the adobe certified

[00:00:00] professional exam

[00:00:00] a video later in the series will go into

[00:00:00] more detail about how to prepare for and

[00:00:00] take the exam

[00:00:00] i must add that if you go through all of

[00:00:00] the aspects of this training you will be

[00:00:00] equipped to pass the exam but you need

[00:00:00] time with premiere pro this

[00:00:00] certification requires 150 hours of

[00:00:00] premiere pro experience

[00:00:00] so this is not your magic bullet but it

[00:00:00] sets the foundation of helping you to

[00:00:00] get certified okay let's get started
