Intro to Adobe Premier

This is an introduction to learning to edit your own videos in Adobe Premier. For this first project, we will start with using still pictures from the Internet. In the next project, we will use video clips.

1. Make a new folder on your desktop. Give it a name.

2. Start by saving pictures into that folder. You will need at least 25. Use Google images.

3. Start a new Adobe Premier project. Name it and save it in the same folder as your pictures.

4. Import all the pictures into your project.

5. Adjust the length of the pictures until you are satisfied with how it all plays back.

Here are video instructions to help you get started on the first project.
