Intro to Video Editing
Intro to Video Editing is a 3.5-hour hands-on workshop designed to introduce high school students to the fundamentals of video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro. The session begins with an icebreaker and a short video to spark discussion about what makes edits engaging, before exploring the role of editing in storytelling, different types of edits, and real-world examples from platforms like YouTube and film. Students then learn core editing techniques such as cutting, trimming, and syncing with music, with a quick mention of mobile editing apps like CapCut. The workshop provides a guided tour of Premiere Pro’s interface, including essential tools, importing media, adding transitions and titles, and exporting projects. In the practical segment, students complete a step-by-step guided edit, then create their own 30–60 second video using provided footage and music. The workshop concludes with peer review, feedback, and resources for continued learning.
Intro to Video editing and music creation using AI tools
Intro to Video Editing & Music Creation Using AI Tools is a 3.5-hour workshop designed for high school students to explore how traditional editing and AI technologies combine to create engaging media. The first half introduces core editing principles in Adobe Premiere Pro, covering timelines, trimming, transitions, and syncing audio. Students then learn how AI tools enhance creativity: Topaz Video AI for upscaling and slow motion, Soundraw for AI-generated music, Adobe Podcast for cleaning or narrating voice recordings, and ChatGPT for brainstorming, scriptwriting, and idea generation. The second half is a practical session where students edit a 30–60 second video using provided clips. They will trim and enhance footage, add AI-generated music, clean or record narration, and sync all elements into a polished short project. The workshop concludes with sharing, feedback, and resources, helping students discover new creative possibilities at the intersection of video editing and AI.
