Free online courseVisual Effects in Adobe Premiere

Course Description

Want your edits to feel like movie moments without leaving Adobe Premiere Pro? This free online course in video editing shows you how to build eye-catching visual effects with workflows you can apply immediately, even if you are not a full-time VFX artist. You will learn how to shape motion, sell impact, and blend elements so effects feel anchored in the shot, not pasted on top.

Across practical projects, you will explore fast, realistic techniques for teleportation warps across cuts, time-glitch looks, blocky displacement, and stylized transitions that elevate pacing. You will also learn how to approach invisible-style effects, including removing color spill for cleaner keys, making composites sit naturally, and using blending modes the right way when working with overlays such as sparks and other footage elements.

The course also focuses on camera-aware editing decisions that make the difference between amateur and convincing. You will practice creating natural motion blur, controlling distortion, and using motion control principles to keep your effects aligned with movement. From superhero-style landings and sky-diving composites to trick shots like catching or throwing objects, you will build a strong sense of timing, masking, and match cuts that sells the illusion.

If you love creative challenges, you will get hands-on with imaginative sequences such as fruit slicing, web-shooting, walking-on-water, sky replacement, and scale tricks like making yourself look giant behind foreground objects. By the end, you will have a repeatable toolkit for planning, shooting, and finishing VFX-heavy edits inside Premiere Pro, helping you create more shareable content, stronger reels, and more confident client-ready work.
