Video Editing Classes in NYC or Live Online

If the purpose of Noble Desktop's Adobe Premiere Pro Bootcamp is to give novices with zero knowledge of content creation a sufficient boost to get up to speed as fast as possible on a highly complex video editing suite, then Noble Desktop's bootcamp goes a long way on that track. It's one thing to read any number of online tutorials; it's another thing to apply the lessons to do actual work (even if it's just the basics). The emphasis on the application of Premiere Pro functions to real-world editing scenarios was the most valuable.

Tom Adams

Noble Desktop's Premiere Pro Bootcamp helped me to strengthen skills I already possessed as well as teach me new valuable ones. By the end of the course, I felt much more confident working in the program.

Jenna Wirth

As someone who has used Premiere Pro frequently over the last few years, I still managed to learn so much from the course. My workflow has already improved dramatically, as have the quality of my edits.

Justin Corazza

As somebody who is brand new to the world of video editing and motion graphics, somebody with zero experience, I must admit that when I first enrolled in Noble Desktop, I felt very threatened and intimidated. However, my instructor Jerron Smith is very professional and knows how to be encouraging. He’s knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and easy to talk to. I was afraid I’d feel discouraged from my lack of knowledge, but on the contrary, Jerron knew how to make each session interesting. I took video editing classes for the first time in my life here, and I’m definitely coming back to Noble Desktop to continue my education. I highly recommend Mobile Desktop and Mr. Jerron Smith.

Roberto Vazquez

Noble Desktop is definitely a HIDDEN GEM for hands-on training and certifications. So glad I signed up for the classes. Jerron Smith is the perfect instructor to teach the Video Editing & Motion Graphics Certificate: thorough, detailed, patient, super engaging, and personable. The class is interactive, and he encourages participation and conversation. Noble Desktop is a HOME RUN and the price is well worth it.

Juan Quintero

I can't wait to use my new skills in upcoming projects. I definitely feel more confident and knowledgable about the workings of After Effects.

Emily Harding

This class was well-organized and engaging. The instructor, Jerron Smith, brought a lot of industry experience and not only covered how to use the tools in Premiere Pro but also gave some best practices advice for designing and working with Adobe applications. He has practical, real-world experience and really seems to enjoy sharing his knowledge with others.

Tanisha Hogan

It was a great way to learn a challenging program. I walked out knowing how to accomplish what I needed to do with Premiere Pro, and it was a fun experience thanks to my instructor, Jerron Smith.

Yvette Pomerantz

Premiere Pro in a Day is an exciting & fun class. Kalika is a great instructor and patiently explains the steps and thoroughly helps you to understand the program. I left with much more confidence that I could master Premiere Pro. Syncing multi-cam clips was the highlight of the day! I highly recommend the class.

Victoria Greiss

As a novice video editor with literally no experience, this was hugely beneficial and helpful. I plan on coming back for the After Effects workshop. Well worth the money and time!

Denton Crawford
Rochester Institute of Technology

Kalika's class is thorough, easy to follow, and immersive. I came in never having touched Premiere and was able to pull the projects together in no time - by the end of the day!

Krissy Trujillo

The instructor was extremely knowledgeable about Premiere Pro, and the exercises were interesting. I feel like I can use this program now without being too intimidated.

Jonah Schrogin

This is a great intensive course to get you started with After Effects. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning this. I would definitely take more classes at Noble Desktop.

Rose Mattrey
AAA Western & Central NY

I've already messed around with After Effects to create little animations, so I didn't expect to learn a whole lot new in a six hour workshop. Totally wrong; I feel so much more empowered to create more complicated animation projects.

Wen Lung
Landor

After Effects seemed really intimidating but after this class I was able to jump right into projects without hesitation. I was able to use my new skills the first day after class ended on a pitch!

Siho Ellsmore
MSL Group

The class was very informative and helped me take After Effects to the next level.

Michael Piersanti

"Super helpful! For an intro class I learned everything I needed to fool around and explore the program for myself without being frustrated looking up "how to's on Google."

Michael Cracco

After Effects In A Day is a fantastic introduction to After Effects and some of the basic animation possibilities. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get their feet wet with After Effects.

Alanna Kellogg

I've taken similar classes that have dragged on and on. Noble Desktop's Premiere Pro in a Day was a fast paced, engaging class that taught me a ton and made sure I was having a great time while learning!

Marc Schneider

Really love how the class was paced and was thoroughly taught how to utilize the essential tools in Premiere! Instructor was the cherry topping! She taught everything with patience and finesse!

This course is perfect for beginners! If you have trouble at first the instructor is there to break everything down for you, so you have a better understanding on how to use all the tools and etc. I definitely will be taking this course again in the future!

Gokce Hoffmann

The best in-person, hands-on Creative app training I've found in 20+ years in the industry. You won't be disappointed.

Joe Zwielich
RIMS

Great school!! Offers a lot of courses, in different fields like Design, Coding and Business. Amazing teachers, currently I'm taking the After Effects class and it's so exciting, it's a bit complex but a really cool program. My teacher Kalika is really nice and has a lot of experience and knowledge. She is great!! I highly recommend the school.

Meruyert

In Kalika's After Effects class you'll learn a lot more than this Adobe app. With sensitivity and attention to detail, Kalika charmingly drops her own hard learned lessons of working as a professional graphic animator into every lesson at every opportunity. You can see the effort Kalika puts in to the lessons and during the class so students gain the most out of this course.

Dov Alpert

This is an excellent course to learn the basic tools for creating videos that are complete with audio, music, photos and videos and transitions to make a 'professional' looking video the first time around.

Valerie Paganessi
Merck & Co., Inc.

Just what I needed to get started with video editing for work and as a hobby.

Jessica Hopkins

This was a great course for anyone who wishes to brush up on their Premiere Pro skills or start from scratch! I'm looking forward to looking into other courses.

After Effects in a day pretty much gets you up to speed fast. It is like a bullion cube of condensed knowledge that expands into a tasty, filling broth.

Class packed with intense information spelled out by a dedicated teacher to sharing her wealth of knowledge and information...

Pablo Mena

The instructor gave extremely clear instructions and was one of the best teachers I've come across.

Kalika was so engaging. You can tell that she's not only extremely knowledgable, but extremely passionate about what she does. I was completely immersed into a program I had never launched before, and am no longer intimidated to pursue Ae.

Noble Desktop is the premier source to expand a designer's skill set.

Claire Werner
Claire Werner Graphics

It's interesting, normally when it comes to personalized attention and "extras" you only expect that kind of care from institutions that are more permanent school. You certainly don't expect it from a place that gives what essentially amounts to short/fast continuing education classes like Noble. Somehow though, they manage! Noble cares! It's quite a phenomena. It was as if I was in a 4 year school with professors who really cared about my success. Even outside of class. That's Commendable. I will continue to recommended Noble to others.

Erica Edwards

I really appreciate how clear (and linked!) the PDF notebook is. Wow. The ease of use is superb! I'm also pretty impressed with how well this teaching format transfers to Zoom and sharing screens online.

Zillah Langsjoen

The Premiere Pro class is amazing. I learned so much in so little time and am able to apply it to what I'm working on already. Can't wait to learn After Effects!

Scott Carson

I took the Premiere Pro Class in a day with Kalika Shama and it was excellent! As a first time user of Noble Desktop and Premiere Pro, I now feel comfortable enough to begin jumping in and starting to edit my videos. Thank you for a great class!

Joelle
Joelle Ng

Noble Desktop unlocked a world of knowledge that most people wouldn't be able to find. You can transform from a beginner to a professional in a matter of three days!

Jacob Sigman

Good way to kick start learning a new program. Lots of behind the scenes advice that you don't get from reading a book.

Teresa Lane

This is my third class with Noble Desktop—and the first online via Zoom. The online instructor and class was just as good as my in-person class experience. The exercises taught skills applicable to enhance our Social Media projects. Noble Desktop is top notch!

Julie Grant
Valley Bank

It's pretty amazing how much I learned in just 3 days. Definitely the right kind of class with the right kind of instructor. I highly recommend Noble Desktop. You won't be disappointed!

Darnel DiGerlando
Valley Bank

The After Effects Bootcamp was very informative and I learned so much! The notes that are provided are very thorough, which makes me feel better about creating animations on my own time. The instructor was so approachable and gave us plenty of time to work through the exercises. Overall, I'm so happy I took this course and I can't wait to create my own animations : )

Alyssa Gauci

Really knowledgable instructors that walk you through the software step by step.

William Masso

I thoroughly enjoyed my After Effects Level 2 course. The instructor was very detailed and patient when working with students. I learned a lot from this class and it gave me new skills to put to work at my job as a Motion Designer. I plan on taking more classes from Noble Desktop!

Cohen & Steers

As someone who had zero experience in video or specifically After Effects, I can honestly say I feel more comfortable with it after only a 3 week course.

Akwele Vassall

I'm so happy I was able to take the Premiere Pro Bootcamp course. I know basics of animating graphics. But now, knowing how to navigate and operate Premiere will enable me weave audio and visuals together which will result in the ability to enrich my department's portfolio.

Adriana Machado
Medscape/WebMD

The instructor was very smart, knowledgeable, easy going, and patient. Did a great job.

Nicholas Labisi

In After Effects 2 I have learned how to create more dynamic videos and have retained a number of helpful shortcuts that shorten my work time.

Akwele Vassall

I took the Adobe Premiere Pro class knowing absolutely nothing about video editing. The class went through things in small steps so I was able to learn, understand and then practice what was being taught. After 3 days I have a great understand of Premiere Pro and feel confident in my new skill set!

Jennie Silverman
Kumon North America

Now that I have worked on my own portfolio projects, I'm so much more confident with the software.

Akwele Vassall

Jerron Smith is a great instructor and I’ve learned a lot about the After Effects program and gained insights to the career of a motion graphic designer. This experience was time well-spent!

Leobianny Hilario

I got the basics down and enough to get me up and running! Dan R. was very thorough and knowledgeable. I liked that he showed how the book does something then he would show other variations of doing the same tasks for options. I would recommend!

Andrew Wong

This course has made learning a software as intricate as Premiere Pro extremely easy and fun! Dan is a great instructor with very organized lesson plans and detailed, step-by-step exercises. I would recommend this program to anyone who is very passionate about learning motion graphics.

Great instruction! Took the time to share notable shortcuts and workflow tips! Always a great thing when looking to refresh your skills!

Maui Uy

Noble Desktop's staff is amazing! They really want to help you understand what you're creating. I've taken a class before with Jerron Smith and recently with Dan Rodney and both were phenomenal. The instruction and course material give you so much confidence within each exercise.

Alicia Roderick

This class taught me how to make adjustments quickly and accurately without a lot of annoyances.

Anthony Cochran

The knowledge I learned from this class will help save hours of manual tedious labor, make my videos look hundreds of times better, and make them sound great as well.

Anthony Cochran

Very good starting class that gave me time and assistance in areas where I would struggle.

Jackson Dye

I came to this class with 0 experience in video editing and wanted to learn from scratch. I found this class to be very helpful and was able to learn a lot in 3 days. It gave me a very good starting foundation for learning more on my own after the class is over.

Loan N.

I was so impressed with how comprehensive this course was, from Dan's knowledge and experience, to the course materials provided, to the content it covered. I feel so comfortable with using Premiere now!

Katt Adachi

I like the variety and very practical exercises. The teacher, Jerron, is excellent - you would be lucky to have him as an instructor. He is an expert and also knows how to explain the material and engage with the class.

Maura A.

Great class. After Effects is an intimidating program but Dan Rodney made it easy to grasp the basic concepts. Highly recommended.

Damien Rodriguez

The class content was clear and detailed, allowing me to grasp the concepts I intended to learn and to create a foundation of my own workflow within the software. Dan was very articulate, thorough, and patient with everyone.

Mac S.

Great experience on Zoom thanks to Jerron, an excellent instructor. He is extremely passionate about the program and an excellent teacher and speaker. I found his tutorials very engaging.

I am fairly new to Premiere Pro and found this course extremely accessible. I appreciated Jerron's patience and great attention to detail.

Sade D.

I highly recommend Noble Desktop's Premiere Pro editing classes. I came in as a beginner, knowing very little, and feel I can now say I can edit. The instructor, Jerron Smith, is top-notch and he has designed an excellent program with an easy-to-understand guidebook that truly teaches you how to edit.

Larry Posner

Worth it if you want to improve your editing game! I use Premiere a lot on a very basic level, but not enough to be taken seriously. I learned a lot of tips, tricks, tools, and shortcuts in this class that leveled up my skills in this program immensely. This class is a MUST for people new to the program or for those who are self-taught (like me) that want to learn how to improve their productivity and workflow. This course gives you all the frequently used tools you need to create a successful project.

Rae Chartier

There are many free software tutorials available online. What I appreciated with Noble's course was having a skilled and experienced instructor available to answer my many immediate questions as they arise. I also appreciated meeting and connecting with students from different industry backgrounds. We're all on our personal journeys and it's always nice when paths converge. I chose to take the course in-person specifically for these two reasons. I'm excited to practice what I've learned and improve my skills.

Andrew Tsao

This was my first jump into Premiere Pro and this class did a great job of giving me a grasp of the software. It was quite obvious from the start that Jerron knows everything about Premiere Pro, giving me all the confidence I needed for the class. I definitely want to look into other classes Noble teaches.

Shane Osborne

Even though video editing is something I do for my employer, I learned so much more than I knew going in. I lost count of the 'Ah Ha' moments that I had. I'll now be able to work in Premiere Pro much more efficiently, which will allow me to be more productive and a better storyteller.

Keith Highley

Jerron is a wonderful instructor! He does a great job of teaching the fundamentals of Premiere Pro (plus more) to all of his students within this class. His examples are easy to follow. He has a great deal of patience and is always willing to answer any questions you may have. He is funny and smart, and will keep you up for all hours of the lectures. Respectful and amazing instructor for the Video Editing & Motion Graphics certificate program!

Ashley Blanc

Jerron was a terrific instructor. He was kind, patient and constructive. He really knows the material, and he is willing to make sure we walk away knowing the material, too.

Marni Myers

After taking the Premiere Pro class, my productivity when it comes to editing has increased dramatically.

I am blown away by how much I learned in a few days. Thank you Noble Desktop for making advanced programs feel approachable! I can't wait to see what I create next.

Francesca Toscano

Jerron was a fantastic instructor who is extremely knowledgeable about After Effects. I especially enjoyed the little nuggets of history and facts behind the program and why certain tools behave the way they do. He was thorough, informative, and really helped my understanding of the program. Great experience overall! Thank you for the helpful class and the wonderful snacks.

Melissa L.

This course really filled in some gaps in my knowledge, which was the whole purpose of taking it! I've used the program for a decade and still learned a lot. I look forward to applying it in my future films.

Randall Bradley

Fun class! The projects helped me learn the program and were great real-world experiences. I've used Premiere Pro for work before, but never had a solid process and wasn't as organized as I should have been. This class helped me learn a way of working that will make creating video content much more efficient.

Ashley R.
