Editing yourself can feel overwhelming—you record a talking video, then get stuck scrubbing through endless “ums,” long pauses, and filler words. In this beginner-friendly Adobe Premiere Pro class, I’ll show you how to transform your talking videos quickly using Premiere’s text-based editing tools. You’ll learn how to clean up your clips without stress, so your videos feel smooth, professional, and ready to share.

By the end of this class, you’ll be able to:

Import a raw talking video into Premiere
Use auto-transcription to generate editable text from your video
Remove filler words and long pauses directly in the transcript
Smooth out cuts and export a polished final video
