A Journey in Adobe Premiere Pro

The on-campus television station, NTTV, at my college, the University of North Texas, has allowed me to join the team as an editor. Apparently I'll be editing sports (for the nightly news cast, if it's good enough) and documentary footage ("Backstage"). They primarily use Adobe Premiere Pro, so I'm going to hunker in the bunker and learn more about the software this weekend.

I went to an "editing workshop" today and it was actually really fun. We edited together a multi-camera scene from an episode of Monk (good show!). I'm self-trained in editing software (relatively well for an intermediate user), but you don't just stumble onto un-edited footage all over the place (if you do, let me know).

Hopefully next week I'll have a finished sports video. I have to film and edit sports in 3 hours, so this will be a lesson in utilizing my time wisely. Let's just say I'm very meticulous when it comes to editing, which is a trait I would like to challenge this semester.
