It's just like driving a car: Once you know how to drive one, you can easily switch to another. Switching from Avid Media Composer to Adobe Premiere Pro CC needs few adjustments to get yourself working right away. In this tutorial series I explain how you can become familiar with the different, yet familiar user interface of Premiere Pro. By understanding how this nonlinear editor (NLE) works, you can easily avoid some common traps you might otherwise encounter.
