Another Weapon in my Arsenal

October 17th, 2008

I just finished Premiere training yesterday! Included in my Premiere training was Premiere Pro CS3 and CS4 (Mac and Windows), Premiere Elements 4 and 7 (Windows only), OnLocation CS3 (Windows) and CS4 (Mac and Windows), and Encore CS3 and CS4 (Mac/Windows).

So currently, I’ve gotten full on training in all of those, as well as Photoshop CS2, CS3, and CS4 (both platforms), Lightroom 1 and 2 (also both platforms), Photoshop Elements 4 (Windows/Mac), 5 (Windows), 6 (both) and 7 (windows), and installation of all products (CS2, CS3, CS4, both platforms).

How has my head not exploded? I don’t know. Hehe I don’t have to support allllll of those though.

But anyway I am now pretty well versed in the ways of video editing, capturing video, and DVD authoring. It’s pretty fun.

I don’t know how soon I’ll be getting my ACE’s for these products though. I’m not feeling nearly as cocky or even confidant in these programs as I did straight out of training for the other ones.

I Am An Expert!

August 11th, 2008

That’s right. I am an expert. A certified one even! Adobe says so. At least, in Lightroom anyway.

I went on Saturday to take my ACE exam (Adobe Certified Expert, see?) for Lightroom, very early in the morning. I walked in and signed some paperwork and got stuck in front of a little computer. It was very much a “you know it or you don’t” kind of test, so I went through it in about half an hour, because sitting and staring at the questions I didn’t know was no help at all. So I finished and checked my answers and hit submit and got a little screen that said something along the lines of “Basically, you’re pretty much awesome!”

So yeah! I am excited. I’m taking my Photoshop CS3 one in a couple weeks… I hear that one is WAY hard. I need to get studying.
