Premiere Pro Pt. 1 — Getting Started & Editing Basics

Jordy Vandeput introduces the editing workspace and develops a practical timeline workflow across four modules. Learners organize projects, make cuts and explore creative adjustments before final refinements. The course is the introductory stage of a three-part pathway, with taught lessons and activities.

What you will learn

• Set up a project and organize footage
• Trim and arrange clips on a timeline
• Apply basic reframing and visual adjustments

Who this suits

No prior Premiere Pro experience is required. The Beginner course is intended for new editors and creative enthusiasts with access to the application and a computer suitable for the practice footage.

Before you enroll

The six-hour estimate includes assignments and project work. Software access is separate. Use original or licensed practice material, and preserve source files while experimenting. Learning an effect is different from knowing when it helps a story, so review the sequence first for understandable order and pacing.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Edit a short original sequence that communicates a simple action. Remove unnecessary shots, check continuity and explain how one timing adjustment makes the action clearer.
