Our take

Based on the ratings of 46,724 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in December 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a paid, beginner-first Premiere Pro course from Phil Ebiner and his Video School team. It opens with a one-hour crash course, then works through importing, cutting, audio, titles, color, effects, green screen, and exporting, with practice clips supplied so students edit real projects as they go. The syllabus shows 308 lectures across 28 sections and about 27 hours of video, though roughly nine of those hours sit in a section labelled as the old version of the course. We rate it our best paid Premiere Pro course, and about 527,000 students and 46,700 reviews at a 4.6 rating back that up.

Reviewers say the teaching is clear and straight to the point, and a couple of people with zero experience call the crash course alone worth the price. Students mention learning J-cuts and L-cuts, stabilizing shaky footage, and keying green screens. The complaints are specific, though. One reviewer says the second half reuses older lessons and repeats a lot, which makes it a slog. A one-star review says many lessons still show earlier versions of Premiere rather than the current one, and one Windows user had some difficulties following a Mac-based instructor. An intermediate editor says he already knew most of it and wanted more current, trendy techniques.

The course was last updated in December 2025, so the core lessons are current even if the archive section is not. Next to the Essentials and Crash Course options in the same category, this is the long, thorough pick. For anyone who wants one course that goes from opening the app to a finished, color graded edit, and can skip past the older material, this is the one to buy.

Best forComplete beginners who want practice clips to follow along with, plus a quick one-hour crash course before the full 27 hours.
Skip it ifYou already edit in Premiere and want current advanced tricks, or you are on the newest version and dislike seeing older interfaces.

Pros

  • One-hour crash course up front gets total beginners cutting video before the deep material starts.
  • Downloadable practice clips so students edit real projects as they learn instead of just watching.
  • Covers the extras people want: green screen, stabilizing shaky footage, and auto reframe for vertical video.
  • Refreshed in December 2025, and reviewers call the explanations clear and straight to the point.

Cons

  • Nine of the 27 hours are an archived old version, and one reviewer says the second half repeats a lot.
  • A one-star review says many lessons show older Premiere versions, and a Windows user struggled to follow the Mac setup.
  • One intermediate editor says he already knew most of it; there are no quizzes or graded assignments.
This was such a great introduction to the start-to-finish process in Premier. I have stumbled through a few attempts at editing and felt so lost; this changed my world!
Adam Bench, a student

Listed as all levels, but it really suits people who have never opened Premiere or are switching from iMovie, Final Cut, or Camtasia.

I've just started the course with 0 experience using Premiere Pro. The one hour Crash course was absolutely worth it! It was clear and easy to follow. I'm so excited to continue with rest of the course.

By Andromeda Siren on 7/17/2026

it was a great course. the way of teaching was straight to the point. however i do wish that the second half of the course was better organized as he reused older lesson and repeat quite a lot of information which made the second half a slog to get through. saying that the first half was more than good enough to over see that.

By Nadav Bamnolker on 6/23/2026

An excellent and up-to-date course, thoroughly covering all the important operations in the software. It clearly seems that this is the most comprehensive course in the field. Thank you very much.

By Dipanjan Chakraborty on 6/23/2026

its Good for Learning the Software ,Who don't have any experience of how editing works, but if you are an intermediate you know the maximum of this course , may be he should add some advance trendy tricks in this course i thing its not suitable for this 2026 era. but the explanation is So nice , any beginner can understand very easily PR

By Nitin Barman on 6/9/2026

This Premiere Pro course clarified a lot of things for me. I learned exactly what I wanted to—such as removing green screens, stabilizing shaky footage using effects, and using J-cuts and L-cuts to ensure smooth, uninterrupted video flow—along with many other techniques. Thank you, Phil Ebiner, for teaching me video editing.

By Ufuk Karakaya on 6/6/2026

ingilizce takip olayı zor olsa bile gayet açıklayıcı anlatımı güzel bir sunum.Tek eksiği yapılan işlemlerde biraz fazla hızlı geçiş yapılıyor altı çizgili veya bastıra bastıra tabir dediğimiz olay çok az

By Mithan Acharya on 5/2/2026

By Şafak ÖZER on 4/1/2026

Başta emeği geçen herkese teşekkür ederim. Phil bunu buraya koy kes kırp yapıştır mantığında gitmiyor. Tam tersi bir işin bir çok farklı varyasonlarını anlatıyor muhakkak ikinci hatta üçüncü bir seçenek anlatım dili ile karşımıza çıkıyor bu muhteşem bir detay. Teşekkürler Phil :)

By Iftikhar Ali on 1/28/2026

Great course. Happy to give it a five star rating. A learning point… Phil Ebiner was a bit fast when demonstrating with curser where all the various elements were when talking through each of the lessons. Sometimes, you need to use keyboard keys along with the curser to do certain functions. This wasn’t always apparent. Maybe, on-screen, flash up the various functions you are using for us mortals. But I reiterate, a great course. I learnt a lot!
