Our take
Based on the ratings of 133 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2020. No course pays to be reviewed.
Ozgur Gorgun's course teaches Premiere Pro from zero, built around one real edit for a UK charity. The syllabus shows 93 lectures across 19 sections and about 9.6 hours, covering sequences, editing tools, audio, titles, effects, animation, speed changes and export. The footage, including 4K and drone clips, is downloadable, so students can follow every lesson. No prior editing knowledge is required. In practice this is a beginner course, and the "masterclass" label promises a bit more than it delivers.
Reviewers praise the clear explanations and the focus on what an editor actually uses every day. One calls it by far the best of the Premiere Pro courses they have tried, and another says the teaching style simply worked for them. The complaints are consistent and mild. Several four star reviews point out that the course dates from 2020 and Adobe's interface has changed since, so some parts had to be looked up elsewhere. One student found the project material dull, and another felt the content was basic for the name.
The rating spread is tidy: of 133 ratings, 96 are five stars, 31 are four stars, 6 are three stars, and none are lower. The last update was August 2020, so expect menus and panels to differ slightly from current Premiere Pro. For a first pass at the basics with a real project to practice on, it is a solid pick. Anyone who needs newer features or deeper color and motion work will want a second course afterward.
Pros
- Teaching is clear and logical, and reviewers say each lesson is explained well
- Follows one real charity edit with downloadable 4K and drone footage to practice on
- Sticks to the essentials an editor uses daily, plus audio fixes and exporting
- Tight rating spread: 96 of 133 ratings are five stars and none fall below three
Cons
- Recorded in 2020, so reviewers say the interface looks different in current Premiere Pro
- One reviewer found the charity project material a little dull to work with
- Basic coverage for something called a masterclass, and there are no quizzes or exercises
Out of all the courses on Premiere Pro I've touched on, this is by far the best
Really a beginner course: no editing experience is required, and reviewers call the explanations clear and easy to follow.

Its called Masterclass and gives you very basic information, that was a bit strange. See how it continues.
By Billie Houston on 11/10/2025
Its a great course. Each class is explained very well, and Ozgur is a great teacher. The only reason I have given 4 stars is because I found the project material a little dull, and in 2025 the course is a little dated (I think it's from 2020) so I had to look up certain parts online. Otherwise it's an amazing course and I highly recommend!
By Bojan Zuza on 7/25/2025
This logical explanation makes me loook video only once and getting feeling like i would know what to do instantly . Thanks, worth every penny
By Celesta Babb on 6/12/2025
Informative and very helpful. Not giving this five stars though because it's a little out of date. Adobe looks slightly different now than it did when this was filmed.

In one word if you start out your editing journey, this course is definitely for you.

Fantastic! This is one of the most comprehensive course of Premiere Pro and one of the best out there. This is the second course I have enrolled with this instructor as he is simply superb in his teaching methods.
By Tim Hurst on 7/24/2023
The instructor was excellent as was the content. The only thing that would have made the course better would be a printed outline to follow along with. GREAT COURSE!
