Looking for CC tutorials, specifically premiere.

Ok, it's time to do something about the fact that literally every job I want uses premiere pro. So I'm going to subscribe to CC so I can learn how the stupid adobe CC works so I can get a job.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like any of the great FCPX trainers have tutorials for CC, so I'm looking for some suggestions.

The problem with PP, is that you have to pay a rental fee each month as I understand it, the cost here in Africa is way out of all proportion.

From what I have seen online, and the many wonderful audio and video I have seen, I would not be too concerned at learning PP. It has old outdated methods, preying on false media, once you get to fully understand the paradigm of FCP X 10.1.1, then you will see the benefit of FCP and the huge problems with old school thinking.

Yes FCP 10.1 has issues, but Apple is releasing updates almost monthly, huge updates to boot.

Well, I still have my school email address so I can get it for $20 a month. I love FCPX and I'm only learning PP because every job around me uses it and they have the impression the FCPX sucks. Believe me, I'd rather edit in FCPX any day, it's fun.

It's kind of just something I have to do if I want to work for someone.

Interesting, I was just on Larry's site and couldn't find anything like this.

Over on creativecow, Andrew Devis has a great series on Premiere CS6 that should be applicable to CC. You also might want to look at Adobe TV as well.

Michael Wohl has a training series, also.

Haven't tried it yet cause I'm still working off of Creative Collection 5 (or suite or whatever the called it) but you can try the 30 day trial I believe before you have to mail in your wallet. I've been fighting the cloud (primarily because none of the work I do currently requires that I use it-that and outside of AE, there's not much I'm interested in using)

When I do get around to diving into it, I plan on doing so with the free trial first.

I saw those Ben, but they are from 2012 before CC so I wasn't sure how different they would be. Good enough of a starting point though I'm sure. MacProVideo was very helpful when I first started FCPX. Thanks.

Thanks Tommy, I'll check out Andrew's series, but I'll stay away from the cow. fcp.co has set the bar very high in terms of the quality of people here and total lack of trolls. Another reason why FCPX is such a great program.

I actually haven't look over the PPro videos we have, as I haven't touch it in a long time. I assumed Michael Wohl had updated them. Maybe not yet. I'll check and see if they're going to be updated. I know if mPV doesn't sell enough of a course, it won't get updated in the future. I'll check on it and see what's up. They are the CS6 version.

Lynda.com is a great resource for things like this. You can get access to training videos, across a wide range of areas one of which is the Adobe programs. You could check that out.

If you've cut in fop 7, you already know how to use Premiere. You can cheat and use the FCP KB layout, but I'd use the stock version and customize it. The only real oddity is the way it handles audio. Stereo vs dual mono and how to change how a clip gets used. And titles. And effects... All in all, it's pretty easy. However, if you've become acclimated to FCP X, it's pretty awful. Been cutting in it all last week, tracks really do suck...
