Adobe Premier Pro – Tools for Unscripted TV

As part of our Step Up strand, we're offering training to help individuals coming back into the industry after a break, moving into a new role or responsibility level, or improving skills in unscripted TV.

This is a high-level tour of the fast-evolving toolset of Adobe Premiere Pro focussing on the time-saving and generative AI features, in a real-time, live editing session.

Who it's for

Anyone in Unscripted TV curious about using Premiere Pro themselves or as part of their process, such as: edit producers, videographers, directors, designers, post production managers/supervisors, and creators in general. 

The majority of the Unscripted Skills Fund (USF) online short course offering is for those at early career stage and above. As a result, we generally require applicants to have at least three credits (unless working in a traditionally uncredited role). If you strongly feel you would still benefit from the training, please email USF@screenskills.com so we can assess if an exception should be made.

We are committed to ensuring all our courses are accessible to everyone. This course is designed to be as interactive as possible. Please email the above address if you have any access requirements and we will be delighted to help, be that clarifying the form such interaction is likely to take or discussing reasonable adjustments.
