Adjacent the Sydney Town Hall and St Andrews Cathedral is the very impressive St Andrew’s Cathedral School. It was here on Thursday 19th March, I had the delight to run an Adobe Premiere Pro video editing workshop with a class of Year 11 music students at St Andrew’s Cathedral School in the heart of the Sydney CBD.

Premiere Pro is a professional video editing application widely used by filmmakers, content creators, educators, and media organisations around the world. Part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite and available in many schools, it offers a powerful, timeline-based editing environment that supports everything from simple classroom projects to complex film and broadcast productions.

These Year 11 music students will be using Premiere Pro as part of their Contemporary Music Maker project. So I introduced them to the following video editing skills:

• File management
• Creating, saving & locating a new project
• Setting up & understanding the workspace
• Importing assets
• Creating a New sequence
• Basic editing
• Adding titles
• Transitions
• Adding & managing audio
• Exporting

I would like to thank Dr Kirsten Macaulay (Deputy Head -Teaching & Learning K-12) for organising this event for her students.
