Hi my name is Erin Lyons, welcome to “Video Editing: How to Edit and Upload Your First YouTube Video.” 

I started video editing over 3 years ago by creating dance films but now I specialize in vlog style videos; I’ve posted nearly 100 travel vlogs over the past year and a half to my YouTube channel called Traveling Atlas.

This class is aimed at students with a beginner skill level. I will be breaking down sections to be succinct, clear, and to allow students to bring their own creative ideas to the project. 

Here is the course outline: 

1. Uploading and organizing video files to Premiere Pro
2. Cutting videos down to first round of edits
3. Structuring your video into a beginning, middle, and end (figuring out your story)
4. Adding music and/or sound effects
5. Color and audio correction
6. Last round of cuts while finalizing with text/titles
7. Exporting and uploading to YouTube
