As you probably know, Clemson students and employees have access to the Adobe Creative Cloud for free. Adobe has two video editing programs: Adobe Rush (also called Adobe Premiere Rush) and Adobe Premiere Pro. Adobe Rush is the beginner-friendly, simpler option.
This part of the course will walk you through editing in Adobe Rush. If you're not ready to edit your project yet, still click through these pages to get an idea of what is possible in Adobe Rush. When you're ready to edit, come back to this part and walk through the steps with your footage. Remember, you can always undo anything you did in Rush with Ctrl-Z on a PC or Cmd-Z on a Mac.
If you want to practice, but you don't have your own files: when you open Adobe Rush for the first time, it will walk you through a tutorial with practice files.
