Course Description

Hi there, I’m Dan. In this course we’ll learn how to create and edit a video for our website. Then we’ll go and build the site from scratch. It looks fancy, but it’s not particularly hard. 

I built this course for beginners. You do not need to know how to code or how to edit video to take this class. We’ll start with the super basics. This could totally be your very first website, wouldn’t starting with a video background be a super cool first project?

We’ll go through the full process. I’ll show you where to find some video, I’ll show you how to edit it in Premiere Pro. We’ll do cool video effects like blurs, tints and transitions. I’ll show you how to export the video so we can get the file size super small. Once we’ve created our video we’ll build a basic website together and make our video all cool and full screen. 

We’ll also create a second option where the video peeks in through a specific box.

In this course I’ve got exercise files so you can play along. I’ll also save my files as I go through each video so you can compare yours to mine - handy if something goes wrong. We’ll be using Dreamweaver & Premiere Pro but 95% of this can be done in generic web & video tools. 

Remember: I’m happy to help & I’m pretty handy with replying. Also - there is a handy cheat sheet you can print out. 

The best thing - is that it’s not that hard. But a super awesome video background will impress the heck out of your clients.

Instructor Details

Daniel Walter Scott

Sharing is who I am, and teaching is where I am at my best, because I've been on both sides of that equation, and getting to deliver useful training is my meaningful way to be a part of the creative community.

I've spent a long time watching others learn, and teach, to refine how I work with you to be efficient, useful and, most importantly, memorable. I want you to carry what I've shown you into a bright future.

I have a wife (a lovely Irish girl) and kids. I have lived and worked in many places (as Kiwis tend to do) – but most of my 14+ years of creating and teaching has had one overriding theme: bringing others along for the ride as we all try to change the world with our stories, our labours of love and our art.

I'm a certified Adobe instructor (ACI) in Ireland. I'm also an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) and have completed the Adobe Certified Associate training (ACA). And I don't just do Adobe. Remember, media is a very broad term – digital blew out the borders, so we are all constantly learning.

I've been teaching for 14+ years. I come from being a media designer and content creator – so I understand exactly where you're at now. I've been there. I love this stuff. Print, digital publishing, web and video. I can see how it all connects. And I can see how we can share those connections.

Kind of. I'm not sure if it's my computer or what? The audio is low. This was what I'd written when I'd begun the course. I think my comments were misconstrued. I thought the course was extremely informative. The teacher was very knowledgeable and thorough. If he hadn't informed me of the bottom right corner's browser settings, I wouldn't have known to go there to see the background as it would appear after I uploaded it. If you are asking how to improve... here are a few things. I love accents. But with the audio issue possibly on my own end, it's very difficult to hear the comments he's making when executing commands. Additionally, this is Adobe Dreamweaver 2017. I'm using 2021, although it's pretty much understood, reassure the end user because I have had things occur where I followed the instructions to the letter but it still didn't work because of the version discrepancy. But believe me this was what I was looking for. Thanks & I look forward to studying more courses for Udemy in the future. Great job.

A lot of helpful info, but, at the end, where he started showing us an example using a site from another course, it got a lot more labor intensive.

By Nancy Macaulay on 6/10/2020

A few major changes since I have used either Premier or Dreamweaver. He saved me so much "hunt and peck" time in this one video!

By Keith Franklin Talley on 7/4/2019

Concise instructions. Because I did not have much of a background with video, found it very useful. This instructor is top shelf.

By Glenn Stava on 9/19/2018

Loads of good stuff here. And Dan's teacing style is excelent. Maybe some After-effects could be added, that would be my only draw back.

By Ammon Dunsmore on 8/15/2018

Fantastic Course, Dan goes into very good detail on video sizes related to web design.

I gain the knowledge I was looking for after taking this course Thank you for sharing your wisdom Instructor Daniel Walter Scott :) I apologize for the late rate response

By Krista Hoefle on 11/16/2017

Awesome pacing, love the project-based approach to learning software (just what you need to know for this particular techniques). So generous with links, resources, and "cheat sheets" for students and teachers. Dynamic teacher, super fun and informative!!

By Dougy on 11/9/2017

This course delivers exactly what it says its about. Straight forward editing section with a comprehensive information on what you are doing and why. The coding side again deals with the topic. Helps if you have some coding experience, but not essential. If you follow Dan's steps you will complete the goal. But for someone with coding experience, there's some nice tips and tricks in there, with out going through all the basics again. Dan is fun, friendly and engaging. Off to watch one of his courses on Dreamweaver now.

By Adam T Skura on 5/7/2017

Dan makes this course on creating fullscreen background video incredibly easy and fun to follow. I am feeling much more confident in my site creation then I was just a few days ago. Exceptional work! I am planning on completing some of his other courses very soon :)
