Class Overview

First, we learn the steps to follow to set up properly all our footage, folders, Premiere project, and sequences. We will establish a timeline and lay our footage and audio, and you will have a blueprint to follow each time, saving you confusion and frustration.

Second, when we have synchronized our audio and the main interview, we will start cutting that up and adding our broll, background music, lower thirds, graphics, images, audio, and video transitions to tell a cohesive story.

And finally, I will end by adding our music and exporting our complete documentary.
