Understanding the Proxy Workflow in Premiere Pro- As cameras get bigger and bigger sensors the file size of the content gets bigger and bigger and can bog down the editing process such that it may seem like only very fast and expensive machines can edit such content. However, the new proxy workflow in Premiere Pro allows for the creation and use of low-res versions of the bigger files which can then be editing on any machine that can run Premiere Pro and then exported from the bigger high quality files rather than the lower resolution proxies. We will cover this workflow in detail

I thoroughly enjoyed the course delivered by Marek. He was extremely patient and explained the application very clearly. He has excellent knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro. Although I am familiar with the basics of this software, I learnt so many new tools which will be useful for me in my job role. Thank you Marke - I look forward to the advanced course in September!

Very good course modules, overview and great instructor. I'd potentially suggest using quick tests for students signing up for advance courses to double-check standards and avoid too different knowledge levels in participants of the same class.

Overall a very good start to editing - with a good over view on most tools and basics. Would have preferred more work related knowledge (a round of knowing professions from the class so can maybe see what's most appropriate) but understand thats difficult if 8 very different career types.

I recently completed an Adobe Premier Pro with Simon. He was very knowledgeable and helpful with getting us to understand Premier Pro from scratch, which was important to me as I had no previous knowledge/experience with the system. There was a good balance of theory and practice, and he gave us plenty of time to try out the features ourselves and make/edit our own video.

Mike was a fantastic trainer, you can tell he is not only very knowledgeable in the field but passionate about it too. He was warm and friendly and great to chat to and very helpful. Over the two days I learnt many things to take back to my team, and although a lot of this was more advanced that the requirements I personally need, it was easy to keep up with and understand

I've really enjoyed this course. The instructor is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything in an easy to understand manner. Day 1 was focused on learning the essential terminology and key functions which was a great set up for Day 2 where we were given the opportunity to put that knowledge into practice across a number of short demos. I definitely feel more confident now using Premiere Pro as a video editing tool that I can take into my role and share with my colleagues.
