Adobe Premiere Pro Basic Tutorials

I ended up hating Sony Vegas CS6 after downloading it, so I downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro because it's supposed to be a step up, and I absolutely love it! It's so much better, and I am already pretty good at using it after just one weekend. I made two whole videos last weekend, both for Easter, and I used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit them.

They turned out very well, and I'm SO GLAD that I don't have to use Windows Movie Maker anymore. I've been making videos for like three years now, and it's time to get away from that crappy editor haha. When I just got the editor, I was a little bit familiar with the layout because it has a timeline and a preview window and a video window like Final Cut Pro, which I learned how to use at school this year but can't download because I don't have a mac, but they looked pretty similar in setup with just a few differences.

Before editing anything, I searched up some basic tutorials on how to use it, and after watching two of them, I went ahead and got started on editing, and that was all I needed. I'm going to embed the videos I found helpful here, and whenever I come across another helpful video, I'll add it to this post.
