Secrets to Hollywood Editing Success Using Adobe Premiere Pro

nofilmschool.com: Modern NLEs bring much more to the table than seamless editing. Apps such as Adobe Premiere Pro continue to add features that give editors every post-production tool they need for audio, color grading, titles, special effects, and more. These tools empower editors to take greater control of their edits and deliver excellent results faster.

Local 33 (of the stagecraft minis) just learned about Adobe Premiere Pro (and how to use it) last week! Haha. Reading about this being the program used to edit Hollywood movies is crazy. It is worth noting, however, that the article is “sponsored,” yet considering it is merely tips and tricks I would argue that makes it better. In fact, as one goes about reading the article one is soo to understand this not as an opinion or journal XYZ but a tutorial. With neat tricks to getting the most out of Premiere Pro, the author breaks down all the cool effects that can be accomplished. With Spring Break coming up, I will definitely continue to check this out. Especially now that Susan Tsu’s Basic Design course has awarded us Adobe Suites for the semester. After all, as the article points out, if one wants to get into video editing Premiere Pro is the way to go.

It’s weird to think that professional movie and television makers use Premiere Pro. I’ve always seen it as a program for more beginners or just for people who do video editing as a hobby. I’ve seen a lot of youtubers that use it along with Final Cut Pro. I’ve done a bit of video editing in the past, but I never had a enough money or reason to buy any of these programs because they can get pretty expensive. But Adobe Premiere Pro is definitely something I would like to learn how to do. It’s also interesting that they have added a lot of new features so that all these separate parts of a movie production can do there own thing and pass it on easier to the next step. Although I don’t know a lot about movie production, it seems that Premiere Pro has all the necessary parts for all the different levels of post production. I just didn’t know that Adobe was that powerful of a program.

As a video media designer, I spend a lot of time in the Adobe Suite. Specifically, a great deal of time working with Premiere Pro. I have never formally been taught the software and have found articles like this one so helpful to my learning. I guess I started learning Premiere Pro my Sophomore year of high school. When I begin working with LED Panels. I ended up prioritizing and making it a task of mine during Quarantine, March 2020, to better acquaint myself with the software. I got comfortable, and took it a step forward to learn After Effects. Although After Effects is certainly more complex, the communication and cross platform synchronization of Adobe products never fails to impress me. I knew that many use the Adobe suite when working in major film and television projects, and honestly, I am not surprised given the connivence and tools offered by Adobe.
