The Art of Film Editing: Visual Effects & Sound Design

Course Overview

You’ll learn how to stabilize shots, add cinematic blurs, and create effects such as fire, sparkles, and animated text—all without needing external plugins. Just as importantly, you’ll explore sound design: layering effects, applying reverb, balancing spatial audio, and using compressors and equalizers to give your scenes depth and realism.

To be successful, you should have a working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and editing fundamentals. What sets this course apart is its focus on sound and visuals as equally vital storytelling tools. You won’t just add effects for spectacle—you’ll learn how to align them with narrative intention. By the end, you’ll be equipped to produce promos, shorts, or branded content with striking visuals and soundscapes that elevate your work to cinematic quality. *Please note: Adobe Premiere Pro software is required to complete this course Instructor bio: Baudilio Perez is a director, actor, and film score composer with a passion for storytelling through cinema.
