Throughout this course, I will give students the tools and techniques that I have found most effective in making engaging and successful videos. Students will then use these skills to edit their own video in Premiere Pro and upload their first video to YouTube.
Hi my name is Erin Lyons, welcome to “Video Editing: How to Edit and Upload Your First YouTube Video.”
I started video editing over 3 years ago by creating dance films but now I specialize in vlog style videos; I’ve posted nearly 100 travel vlogs over the past year and a half to my YouTube channel called Traveling Atlas.
This class is aimed at students with a beginner skill level. I will be breaking down sections to be succinct, clear, and to allow students to bring their own creative ideas to the project.
Here is the course outline:
- Uploading and organizing video files to Premiere Pro
- Cutting videos down to first round of edits
- Structuring your video into a beginning, middle, and end (figuring out your story)
- Adding music and/or sound effects
- Color and audio correction
- Last round of cuts while finalizing with text/titles
- Exporting and uploading to YouTube
