1. Adobe Premiere Overview

Premiere is a an extremely popular video editing program made by Adobe, the same company that makes Photoshop. It allows you to take video, audio, and stills from various sources and cut, merge, and arrange them to tell a story. We are very fortunate to have Adobe Premiere at Gleneagle as it is a professional-level program used throughout the film industry and by hobbyists alike. For this reason, like Photoshop, there are a ton of functions and tools that we will not need to use. Try not to be overwhelmed by all of the options, and remember that if you accidentally click anything, you can always undo!

It uses a timeline system like GarageBand, but they order in which they are arranged will effect which clips appears ‘on top,’ similar to layers in Photoshop.
