Complete the shared foundationGuided sequence
Module 1 / 3.5 hours
Translate a broadcaster brief into project, storage, color, audio, proxy, metadata, and sequence decisions before editorial work begins.
Module 2 / 4 hours
Turn transcripts, interviews, observation, B-roll, and verified facts into a paper edit and radio cut that preserve meaning and reveal change.
Module 3 / 4 hours
Use source/sequence operations, track targeting, three-point editing, trim tools, JKL playback, and multicamera synchronization to create visual continuity and pace.
Module 4 / 4 hours
Shape dialogue, natural sound, music, and transitions. Create legible graphics, and produce human-reviewed captions tied to the approved edit.
Module 5 / 3.5 hours
Lock the segment, manage mixed source color, correct and match shots with scopes, verify duration and legal/creative requirements, and prepare a controlled final timeline.
Module 6 / 3 hours plus capstone work
Create master, review, caption, audio, and turnover files from the locked sequence, then inspect the actual outputs and package the project for continuation.
Standardized coursework pack
Two interviews, B-roll, observational sequences, two-camera demonstration, production audio, stills, graphics kit, music, transcripts, releases, fact sheet, caption style, and broadcast delivery brief. Approximately 65 GB source media and 18 GB proxy/media-cache allowance.
Media access: the downloadable files define the required rights-cleared pack, checks, and evidence. Large application media must be distributed by the institution through its licensed learning or storage system.
Why this application
Television editing runs against a clock and a written delivery specification, and both shape the cut long before anyone argues about a shot. A broadcaster asks for an exact duration, a defined audio layout, captions in a stated format, and a slate. Missing any of them sends the programme back regardless of quality. This course works in Adobe Premiere Pro to a real specification from the first module. You will cut to a duration rather than to taste, then work through the handoff to Media Encoder and the checks catching a fault before delivery rather than after. The project management side gets equal attention, because a Premiere project growing without structure becomes slow and fragile at exactly the point a deadline arrives.
