Post-Production

Editing Tools

We're using the Adobe suite for editing. If you're helping with editing, make sure you have access to this! Premiere pro, Audition, and After Effects. It'll be useful to have a good grip on editing with Premiere before Friday. We can help you get these tools if you don't already have them.
