where is the: Premiere Pro for beginner's forum

telling a story is the main thing... visual story. with sound if you want, color or b&w, etc.

the edit program just lets you do it on desktop powful enough. the video source files typically match sequence and export ( with variations ).

in old days you needed very powerful editing equipment, but now it is very more fluid, open to young people and fancy effects and so on.... in editor progam.

learning how to edit is learning how to tell a story.

focus on that and deal with basics.

a) source matches sequence

b) use slates and good shooting material for your computer.

tell me story I like.

There isn't a beginner's forum for PrPro ... just this one. But we've all been beginners at one time, and know what it's like. This app, like Resolve, Avid, Baselight ... is complex and complicated. And designed for full manual control by the user. The beginning learning curve is steep, but do understand ... it only gets steeper later on. And I'm not kidding.

We're used to beginners popping up here. Feel free to ask anything ... the only dumb question is the one you don't ask. But also, check out their help system. It's at times clunky, some things are left out ... but it's better than it was. There is both some half-decent documentation and some video tutorials.

I do recommend besides reading a bunch of things "here", that people either work in person with an experienced editor or get a month or two of subscription time with say LinkedInLearning, and go completely through several of their PrPro tutorial series. Download the practice projects/media, and work along. Saves you a ton of time.
