Hi all!

I got approval to do the official Adobe training to for Premiere pro, Photoshop and Aftereffects.

I just wanted to make sure I'm not stuffing up the order of learning...

So far I'm guessing I need to do Premiere pro before Aftereffects for sure, but is it also ideal to do Premiere pro and Photoshop before Aftereffects?

There are some places which have two courses for each e.g.

Premiere pro basic

Premiere pro Advanced

Photoshop Basic

Photoshop Advanced

Aftereffects basics

Aftereffects advanced.

So i'm thinking along the lines of

1.Premiere pro basic

2.Photoshop Basic

3.Aftereffects basics

then two months later...

4.Premiere pro Advanced

5. Photoshop Advanced

6.Aftereffects advanced

Does this look ok or is this also ok:

1.Premiere pro basic

2.Aftereffects basics

3.Photoshop Basic

4.Premiere pro Advanced

5. Aftereffects advanced

6.Photoshop Advanced

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for confirming that Rob!

From all the responses in this thread this is my current master plan in order of completion:

1) Photoshop Essentials (June 18th-19th)

2) Premiere pro essentials (June 25th-26th)

3) Illustrator (June 28th-29th) is back to back with premiere pro in 1 week bad? Alternative date below

Gap of maybe 1 months....

4) After effects (July 26th - 27th) Dave you mentioned I should delay after effects for a while. is 1 month enough or should I push this back maybe 3-6 months?

5) Alternatively: Illustrator (August 20-21)

Then a few months (maybe not enough of a gap?) later the advanced version of them all:

6) After Effects Advanced (October 1st-2nd) Don't know if its ok to do after effects advanced before the other advanced

7) Premiere pro advanced (October 4th-5th) Same week as After effects advanced

8) Photoshop advanced (October - 10- 11th October)

9) Illustrator Advanced (November 22-23rd)

I realise the advanced courses are in the opposite order of what was recommended for the essentials. is this much of an issue? the dates just happen to be like that so far (unless they add more dates soon down the line then I can put them back in the order of Photoshop,premiere, aftereffects for advanced)

thanks so much to everyone for helping me plan this mammoth schedule. I'm a little scared looking at it haha I feel its almost there

I would recommend Photoshop basic before Premiere because Premiere and AE work with Photoshop layers.

I would start with Photoshop, then Premiere Pro, then After Effects. It would be a very good idea to throw Illustrator into the mix. If you are doing any kind of titling or graphics Illustrator is by far the best place to start that kind of work.

I think it largely depends on the type of work you'll be doing. Rick's suggestion is my first thought, as well, but will you be working with designers and mostly editing or animating motion graphics, or are you expected to create everything on your own?

If you'll predominantly be editing, then I would consider starting with Premiere. Having Photoshop foundations before After Effects is definitely the better idea, as it will help you get familiar with working in layers before you start making things move. This can also be helpful for Premiere, but it depends what you'll be doing.

Also, in the meantime while you're learning what kinds of things are you working on? Are you doing more design or video work? Do you find that you're struggling with one more than the other?

Thanks for the reply David!

I dont have anyone to support me at all actually. I'm completely on my own. I built my works intranet from Scratch simply using paint and visio as my editing tools (sad I know) but I've made it to be quite beautiful but I would like to bring it to the next level with Adobe=) . I plan to make training Videos and guides for the intranet as well as learning. I fly drones as well so I made drone footage and images and it would be great to perfect them through editing. I do alot of huge yearly reports filled with charts tables etc

I'm new to doing things professionally and am learning adobe from scratch. I'm pretty good at tinkering and have supreme patience to learn things properly haha in other words I'm stubborn and won't give up till I have achieved a goal (tunnel vision).

I'm hoping to learn adobe properly in the ideal sequence so it flows naturally =)
