I’m learning how to edit video using Adobe Premiere Pro and need online training. I’m thinking of using Skillshare. Any comments or any suggestions about alternatives.
I would exhaust the free training in utube before paying a penny for anything else.
I started learning video editing with Premiere Elements. It was cheaper and I learned fundamental video workflows. A couple years ago I decided to "move up" and started learning Premiere Pro and (to a lesser extent) Davinci Resolve.
Learning to make videos takes some work. It might make it worse to understand photography workflows!
If you open Premiere Pro, look at the help menu. There is a choice to launch "in-app Tutorials" and another choice is to watch "Online Tutorials". Adobe has invested in teach systems.
To back up the Adobe teaching system is the Adobe sponsored forums. A few hundred "experts" are part of the forum system and are there to help figure things out ranging from hardware to technique. (I'm one of them.) When you're confused or stuck, go there and ask for help!
YouTube can be as good as what you pay for it. Random jumping between techniques and tools will seriously cause frustration. That said, there are some well organized channels. One is Adobe's. They pay Valentina Vee because she is good at teaching and knows her stuff.

Thanks for the good suggestions.
I’ve begun by adopting an old-fashioned approach that some of you old-timers might recognize :>) — reading and following along with Adobe’s “Classroom in a Book”….

That's how I first learned Photoshop and Illustrator...

Being a video editing program where all the work and activity is on screen, I've found it a lot easier to watch the video classes I linked to earlier.
Adobe's books used to be very good and probably still are.
prbrandon, don't hesitate to ask questions here or by private mail. I can probably answer them.
