Overview

A 90-hour certificate focused on video editing, with motion graphics and audio work alongside it. Students edit footage and mix audio in Adobe Premiere Pro through the introductory and advanced courses, then animate text and graphics in After Effects.

A compositing, tracking, and keying course covers the more advanced techniques, and a portfolio development course and capstone take projects from concept to final cut. It is the shorter counterpart to VDCI's Video Editing & Motion Graphics Certificate, which carries both applications further. Tuition includes four months of Adobe Creative Cloud access.

Who this course is for

People starting a video editing career, and designers and marketers who want editing skills without the full motion graphics track.
