Module 1: The Interface Overhaul (First 30 Minutes)

Most beginners open Premiere Pro and immediately panic. There are seven panels, three different colored timelines, and a million buttons.

In the first module, Finzars does something radical: he deletes everything. He shows you how to customize the workspace specifically for editing, not color grading or audio mixing.

Key takeaways from Module 1:

  • Saving your workspace: How to lock your layout so Adobe doesn’t reset it on update.
  • The "Source Monitor vs. Program Monitor" distinction: Finzars uses a car mechanic analogy to explain why you should never drag clips directly from the bin to the timeline.
  • Essential panels only: Hiding the "History" and "Info" panels to free up screen real estate.

By the end of the first 45 minutes, you will have a clean, intimidating-but-not-terrifying interface ready for cutting.


Module 2: The Premiere Pro Interface (Finzar’s Way)

This is not a boring tour of every dropdown menu. Finzar teaches you his specific workspace layout.

  • Customizing panels: Hiding the things you never use (like the Lumetri Scopes if you are going for a lo-fi look).
  • Source monitor vs. Program monitor: How to scrub efficiently.
  • Keyboard shortcuts mastery: You learn the 12 shortcuts Finzar uses for 90% of his workflow (Ripple Delete, Razor, Zoom, and Markers).

Module 4: Speed Ramping (The "Finzars Signature")

Given that Finzars came from the action sports world, it is no surprise that Module 4 is dedicated entirely to Speed Ramping. Master the "Finzar Way": A Deep Dive into

Speed ramping is the smooth transition between slow motion and real-time speed. Most beginners attempt this by using "Time Remapping" and creating harsh, jumpy velocity changes.

Finzars teaches a proprietary 4-step system:

  1. Nest the clip: Prevents Premiere from crashing when you add too many keyframes.
  2. Optical Flow interpolation: How to make 24fps footage look like 120fps slow-mo (without shooting 120fps).
  3. The bezier curve trick: Smoothing the speed transition so it isn't a jarring "jump."
  4. Adding motion blur: Using "Pixel Motion Blur" (or the free RSMB plugin) to sell the effect.

This module alone is worth the price of the course, as many YouTubers charge $200 for this specific technique. Learning Outcomes By course end, students will be able to:
