“I already had some experience with Premiere and have a few projects under my belt. But I needed this course. It filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge base. One of the things I especially liked is the instructor's friendly, conversational presentation. I am kind of impatient and I don't sit through presentations easily but it was so easy to listen to his calm voice and follow along.”
