All courses  /  Editing in Premiere

Shoot it, cut it and publish it before you get back to the office

Some stories are worth less every hour they sit unpublished. Premiere on the phone means the piece can be finished on the road, and picked up on the desktop later if it turns out to deserve more.

One day on cutting a genuinely finished piece on a phone, and on the handover to the desktop when finishing is needed.

The honest bit

This is a one-day course because a day is genuinely enough, and stretching it would be padding.

Who it is for

Journalists, communication staff, content creators, and producers who publish quickly and are often away from their edit suite.

Prerequisites

You should be able to edit somewhere already. Bring the phone you actually use.

Bring

Your phone (iPhone or Android) and material from a real job you have not cut yet.

Questions

About this course

Is this the same as the smartphone filming course?

No. That one is about shooting; this one is about editing. Teams that do both usually book them together as two days.

Does it work on any phone?

On any reasonably current iPhone or Android phone, yes. Test your own phone compatibility by installing Premiere.

Can we finish broadcast-quality work this way?

You can finish publishable work. For broadcast delivery specs, cut on the phone and finish on the desktop.
