Master Adobe’s video tools in just 4 days with the

Adobe Video Bootcamp

When it comes to creating high quality video content, Premiere Pro and After Effects are a pretty tough combination to beat, allowing you to make a wide range of edits and apply a vast array of effects.

If you are working with video footage, creating sequences, taking clips, applying transitions and creating titles, Adobe Premiere Pro is the leading solution. Premiere Pro gives you all the tools you need to make this process as smooth and efficient as possible.

After Effects on the other hand, has you covered as far as concerns motion graphics animation, using extensive keyframing, applying easing techniques and lots more.

These tools combined give you a powerful solution for creating professional looking video, whether for social media, your website or some other means of consumption
