Intro To Video Editing With Adobe Premiere

If you have a camera that shoots photos, it can almost certainly shoot equally good-looking video. We live in an era where the demand for high quality video is starting to surpass that of still images. So, if your camera can shoot video as well as it can shoot stills, what’s stopping you from participating in the growing demand for video? If the answer is editing, this tutorial is for you.

Intro to Premiere As photographers, we understand the need for good post-processing. An image that has been edited well makes it stand out from the crowd; it’s what separates decent photography from excellent photography. The same is true for video. A well-edited video will catch the attention of the viewer and hold it. While many of us photographers have learned how to process an image to its fullest potential, we lack the ability to put a compelling video together.
