Commercial Video Editing & Short-Form Pacing in Premiere Pro
Learn clean Premiere Pro project organization, waveform-driven ripple cutting, natural punch-in reframing, clear dialogue mixing, and accurate Rec.709 export.
Editing short commercial videos or talking-head Reels drags on for hours when projects are disorganized, every breath is sliced manually with the razor tool, zoom jumps feel jarring, or exported colors look washed out on phones. In this course, we build a disciplined Premiere Pro workflow covering keyboard-driven ripple pacing, optically smooth Transform reframing, layered B-roll rhythm, broadcast-clean voice mixing, and reliable color and export settings.

Program FAQ
Common Questions
Can we practice directly on my own raw client or business footage during our sessions?
Yes, working on your own raw clips is one of the best ways to learn. After we align on your current Premiere Pro familiarity in the Free Online Intro Session, you can bring your own talking-head and B-roll footage so we build your folder template, keyboard shortcuts, and reusable presets right on your system.
How does the Free Online Intro Session work, and how many sessions will I need?
Every course begins with a Free Online Introductory Session where we review the core syllabus together, evaluate your current background and goals, and map out how many sessions you actually need and whether continuing Online ($69 CAD/hr) or In-Person ($99 CAD/hr) suits you best. Session count is never a rigid one-size-fits-all number; it adapts to your own level and pace.
Do I have to commit to a multi-session package, or can I get just the PDF guide?
There is zero upfront package commitment: live sessions are booked flexibly session-by-session ($69 CAD/hr online or $99 CAD/hr in-person). If you prefer a self-paced written guide instead of live coaching, a standalone $39 CAD PDF option can also be requested for this topic.
Are courses taught in English, Persian (Farsi), or bilingual?
Your choice: every session with Iman Adlkhah can be conducted 100% in English, 100% in Persian (Farsi), or naturally bilingual with industry terminology.
