Workshop Scope
Video Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro is a hands-on, instructor-led workshop offered to UCF faculty and staff with virtual and in-person participation. Participants learn the interface and essential editing tools by working through a guided video project alongside the facilitator.
The workshop emerged in response to increasingly advanced video-editing questions from faculty and staff who had access to Adobe Creative Cloud through UCF. Premiere Pro’s extensive interface can be intimidating for new users, so the session provides a clear path through a simple edit similar to something participants might create for their teaching or other projects.
My contributions include developing practice materials, establishing a structured workshop plan and instructor guide, and facilitating sessions.
Tools Used:
- Delivery: Blended using Microsoft Teams and in-person facilitation
- Asset Distribution: Microsoft SharePoint
- Content Creation: Adobe Premiere Pro
- Instructor Guide Development: Microsoft Word
Designing the Learning Experience
Organizing Assets to Support the Workflow
Participants receive sample media arranged in an intentional folder hierarchy. This gives everyone the same starting materials while modeling an organizational approach they can carry into their own editing projects.
Preparing the assets in advance removes the need to source footage during the session. Participants can concentrate on learning Premiere Pro, while the shared files make it easier to answer questions and troubleshoot together.
The session was designed to intentionally only give participants up to 4 files, each with a unique characteristic, and labelled 1-4 for easy navigation throughout the session
Instructor Guide and Workshop Development
The workshop began as an informal response to faculty and staff requests for video-editing support. Without a shared instructional plan, facilitators relied on their own materials and approaches, creating variation across sessions.
I developed a structured workshop plan and an Instructor Guide to establish a consistent demonstration sequence and connect it to the supplied practice assets. The guide provides a common reference for preparing and delivering the workshop while leaving room for participant questions.
This shift gave the offering a repeatable structure that other team members could use, helping maintain continuity across facilitators.
What Participants are Saying
Participant feedback has been consistently positive. The workshop also frequently leads to one-on-one consultations, where faculty and staff bring questions about their own video projects.
The survey was created using Asana forms.
This workshop was great! Very informative and as efficient as possible. The host was clearly knowledgeable and nonjudgmental. The focus on increased accessibility for a variety of students was very helpful.
Great workshop. Good pace, useful content with hands-on practice. Learned new things today – thank you.
Every part was quite valuable. Following along hands-on was so much better than a passive presentation.
