Basic Video Editing with Adobe Premiere 
Wednesday, October 26 • 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. • $75
In this pre-con workshop, you’ll learn the basics of shooting and editing digital video and turning that content into a short film or promotional video.  
In this day-long workshop, we’ll start the day by walking around Baltimore gathering footage with your camera, which you’ll edit later. As we are out gathering footage, you’ll also pick up some fun in-camera editing tricks that will take your video production to the next level.
In the second half of this workshop, you’ll learn about media management, digital workflow, and an introduction to Adobe Premiere. From there we’ll edit practice video or footage shot in the morning into some basic editing sequences and explore the concept of compressed time, matched action, and sequencing. Finally, we’ll learn some of the most popular exporting formats for social media, YouTube, and showing your work on a screen.
Plan to bring your camera and computer with Adobe Premiere already installed (there is a free fully functional 30-day trial version available for download from adobe.com). You need at least 8 GB/RAM and 25 GB of local storage on your hard drive. Don’t forget you’ll also need a way to import your video from your camera.

Recording, Mixing and Post-production with Adobe Audition
Wednesday, October 26 • 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. • $75
You know the basics of Adobe Audition, now take your knowledge and skills to the next level. In this full-day event, we will review the basics of proper live recording and mixing with local recording artist Skribe, and then move into the more detailed post production skills. This includes music mixing, pacing and levels. Other areas include compressions, voice to video (ADR), removing unwanted noise and overall energy of audio. When done, you will have the skills to take your production skills back to your station and produce the best work that you have ever done.
Plan to bring your computer with Adobe Audition already installed (there is a free fully functional 30-day trial version available for download from adobe.com). You need at least 8 GB/RAM and 25 GB of local storage on your hard drive.
