Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2023: Beginner Video Editing

Join thousands of students in one of the largest and most popular video editing courses for beginner's. This course is a one-stop-shop that has everything you need to become a confident editor inside Premiere Pro.

If you've taken a quick look at Adobe Premiere Pro and are completely overwhelmed by the features and have no clue how to start editing your first video, you have come to the right course.

For the first few months of my editing journey, I battled the same problems you have and I felt like I'd never figure it out. Adobe Premiere Pro seemed so complicated and the learning curve was painful.

As a self-taught video editor with 7+ years experience exclusively with Adobe Premiere Pro, I am proud to say that I am truly happy with the quality of the videos I am producing for YouTube. I wish I had this course when I first started, it would have saved me years of pain and suffering!

What makes me qualified to teach you?

In 2016, I had zero video editing experience, no laptop, no students and no YouTube channel. Fast forward to June 2023, I have;

• Over 26k YouTube subs across 2 channels.

• 316,000 students in my programs and courses

• Over 6,800 reviews

This course is the most comprehensive beginner editing course where, by the end of the course, you'll feel confident editing your own amazing video projects.
