Specialization - 3 course series

This Specialization prepares you to work as a professional assistant editor in Adobe Premiere across the full lifecycle of a production. Through three courses, you'll configure production-ready Premiere environments, protect and organize camera-original footage, support editors during active production with dailies, proxies, and multi-camera workflows, and prepare finished projects for color, audio, VFX, and final delivery.

You'll finish equipped with the technical skills and professional habits, reliability, anticipation, and clear communication, that define a trusted assistant editor on any Premiere-based production.

Applied Learning Project

You'll build and carry forward a single Adobe Premiere production project from initial setup through final delivery. You'll practice solving the same organizational, technical, and communication problems you'll encounter on a professional production, rather than isolated drills.
