Getting Started
Workshop Teaching Strategy
I have created Flash based tutorials for all the projects we will cover. This method of teaching/learning might be new to you but I think you may find it extremely powerful once you get into it. By putting all my lessons into this web site you have control of your learning. You can go as fast or slow as your learning style requires. You can stop the lesson at any time and practice the techniques or ask me for more clarification. As you watch the tutorial, make sure to pause and practice the technique using the sample files. Once you complete a project, look at the agenda, and if you are ahead of schedule take the time to practice what you just learned to ensure that you understand the concept.
- Tutorial>>> Project Setup and Launching Premiere Elements (4:01)
- Tutorial>>> Working with the Premiere Elements Interface (4:15)
- Tutorial>>> Importing and Managing Assets (5:31)
If we have the time and equipment to hook up video cameras and practice capturing footage, watch the following tutorials.
- Tutorial>>> Camera Setup (2:18)
- Tutorial>>> Capturing Footage (3:04)
Sometimes you may need to edit footage that you already burned to a DVD. This tutorial will show you how to get the video back off the DVD into a format that you can work with in Premiere Elements.
- Ripping a DVD (2:31) *Only rip DVD’s that you have the rights to use
This takes a long time so we will not practice in a workshop.
