Interesting and I understand there is a lot more stuff to explore.
A really good course that really touched on all the things you need to start. Only thing that can be hard to follow along with is the keystrokes, it would have been nice with a little box showcasing it.
Love it so far The only issue is Shoot 4 of Abba for the interview isnt in the lesson file for some reason. Started to make my own edit without the file so i could continue learning the material.
I like a lot this class, I have tried to learn Premier with other professors but sometime they don't explain correctly, or they don't show examples, or they only show one way to do the magic, but Abba Shapiro is not only very knowledgeable, but also quite good at explaining
I really like the authenticity of Abba. It's so much more relaxing to watch his unpolished, self-effacing style of presenting because it feels more like what it's really like to navigate through something and it put me at ease.
Me gusto el curso , muy ilustrativo y entendible, Gracias Abba
This is a great, thorough introduction to the many different tools available in Adobe Premiere Pro. I have been watching this class and working on little video projects as I go, and I can feel my editing skills growing and developing the more I learn. Sometimes I learn something exploring on my own and then get another exposure to it in the class which helps me solidify what I'm learning. Definitely recommended.
An order of magnitude without qualifiers is moving the decimal point one place up or down. Thus 100 is an order of magnitude greater than 10. It is not doubling as you said in lesson on audio.
The teacher talks SO fast, its going to take several repeats to get it all.
There is a lot of good information in this course, but it would be even better if it had been heavily edited before it was posted and sold as a course. I'm a rank beginner and am watching it for the second or third time to try to harden my skills and I'm frustrated by how much conversation there is that could be cut out. This course would be so much leaner and someone could get through the course faster if all the extra conversation was trimmed. Seriously, I'm 20 minutes into watching it and I haven't hit anything but "we're going to talk about" generalities. I would love to skip all that and just get to the meat.
I absolutely loved this class! I found the information to be very thorough and extremely helpful. I would recommend this class to everyone interested in learning Adobe Premiere Pro.
Very descriptive...Highly recommend.
This is a great course to get into Premiere pro. It covers all facets of the program allowing someone to start editing, finding/discovering features and learning as far as needed. Premiere pro is a beast and this course does a good job in simplifying its use. Abba is very knowledgeable and explained everything quite well. This course is highly recommended, it is well worth its money.
I was thrown into the deep end with editing with Premiere Pro, and i found this class after a year or so of youtube tutorials on specific things, but never a whole overview like Abba has given! I've learnt so many little simple things that i never knew about that have increased my productivity. Anyone who uses this program has something to learn here! P.S Anyone not recommending the class because of jokes and personality - he has to entertain a live audience, this isn't just an online program. Kudos to him!
This class was great! I have been using Premiere Pro since 2001 and learned a lot of things I never knew before that I was never even taught in college or had learned on my own using it professionally. I was hesitant to buy the class because of the price and knowing that I had been using the software so long already, but it was definitely worth it. Abba is a great teacher and a likable guy. I just wish they would not use the type of set lighting they do. It is really annoying to stare at these videos with gelled lighting that match the color of the presenter's shirt, and spills out everywhere even on him and the entire floor. Creative Live used to have good sets with clean lighting but now its all shot on cycloramas with gelled color lighting for some reason.
Very nice course. I like Abba's presentation style. This is a great course for getting a good overall understanding of Premier Pro and video editing in general. I would suggest supplementing with YouTube tutorials on specific topics.
If you are new to editing in Premiere Pro, I wold definitely recommend this course. I went from being somewhat intimidated by Premiere Pro to being comfortable and capable of taking advantage of what Premiere Pro has to offer. Abba does a great job teaching this course and I am absolutely looking forward to learning more from him in the future. Thank you Abba!
This is a great class and teaches everything you need to know to hit the ground running with editing a video project in Premiere Pro. There is even a lot of really useful information to keep in mind when you are shooting. With no prior experience, I was asked to do a couple of video projects, on a tight timeframe, and I said "yes". I delivered the results to happy clients. Abba's course allowed me to achieve this so I am very grateful I purchased this class.
Useful course but too much unnecessary talking and not getting to the point for very long time.
I've never even tried video editing before this class. I opened the program once and panicked. After only 9 lessons I was able to throw a short video together (basic of course, but still pretty cool). I wish all of my teachers growing up were just like Abba. He goes over everything without dragging anything on for too long. He repeats things just enough for me to actually remember them, and he is funny. He keeps it fun and shows that even he makes mistakes. I can't even believe how much I have learned in less than a quarter of his class. I have a long way to go and am very excited to learn more. This class is worth every penny and more! I was hesitant on buying the class because I have CS6 and he works with CC, but I have already used what I've learned in his course to create a video. The first 9 lessons were already worth what I paid for the entire course. Thank you, Abba! You are an awesome teacher! You have me absolutely obsessed with creating right now! I highly recommend! You won't find this thorough of a course for this decent price!
Fantastic course. Highly recommended.
Really happy with this purchase. Great teacher and in-depth knowledge of product.
Abba is wonderful - knowledgable, entertaining, and thorough. Highly recommended!
I am only on lesson 19 and I am so glad I bought this class, so worth it and Abba packs so much information into these lessons its crazy. I will for sure have to come back and watch again when I need to remember to do stuff or need a refresher. He is funny and quirky and a great teacher. I so recommend this to anyone wanting to become a better video editor!! I am coming from being self taught and using iMovie and he makes it so simple and understandable. Can't wait to learn more :)
Abba presents a phenomenal course on Premiere Pro. This course is a must for anyone that wants to understand the nuts and bolts of this rather intimidating program. He not only covers everything at an excellent pace, but also give the 'why' you want to do something and not just the 'how'. This course has helped me become much more comfortable with Premiere, video, lingo, and how to edit more effectively. Great job Abba, and thanks for sharing your extensive experience in a digestible way.
