video2brain is pleased to announce the release of Maxim Jago’s video workshop Compositing in Premiere Pro. “I was keen to record this video,” says Maxim, “because so often people focus on core editing skills with Premiere Pro and they miss the excellent high-end finishing tools it includes. There’s no doubt Premiere Pro is primarily intended as a “cutter” but there is so much more to it!

“Many editors would prefer to stay in Premiere Pro from start to finish, only touching on After Effects for visual finishing or Audition for audio work if they absolutely have to—and very often this is fine! With this course, I wanted to show just how far you can go using the standard tools included with Premiere Pro while giving experienced editors some real-world, task-specific applications for their existing skills.”

As with all video2brain courses, the lessons in Compositing in Premiere Pro are wrapped in a feature-rich interface that lets you jump to any topic and bookmark individual sections for later review. Full-Screen mode provides a hi-def, immersive experience, and Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window so you can play the videos alongside your application. Also included are exercise files that give you an easy way to try out the techniques you learn.
