July 2026 – Getting Started with Premiere

You are invited to join us online on Thursday, July 9th, 6 pm CST, for the FREE monthly Austin Adobe User Group meeting. On popular demand, Jon Merrifield will offer a beginner's guide to getting started using Premiere. Adobe no longer is using "Pro" in the name of this app. It provides a comprehensive, multi-track timeline to combine video footage, audio, graphics, and special effects into a finished, professional project. We figured it was a good time to present the basics needed to begin working with the app.
