AH 3350 video editing resources: Home

This guide links to video editing resources we discussed at our October 28, 2025 class meeting. 

The Innovation Studio is a reservable audio/video production space located on the fourth floor of Pfau Library. 

CSUSB students can reserve the studio in two hour blocks. The space includes a Mac workstation, cameras, lights, soundboard and lightglass. 

Available software for video and sound editing includes:

• Adobe Premiere
• Adobe Audition 
• iMovie
• GarageBand

Adobe Premiere

CSUSB offers a campus subscription to Adobe Premiere as part of the Adobe Creative Suite. It's pre-installed on lab computers, including the Innovation Studio. Students can pay $19.99 for a one year license that allows you to download the Suite for home use on a laptop. ITS, not the library, supports this software. Instructions to get Adobe Creative Suite are available here. 

Shotcut

Shotcut is a video editor compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux. It is free and open source software (FOSS) developed under a GPLv3 license. ITS and Pfau Library do not provide support for Shotcut. Users have created an extensive library of how-to articles and video tutorials. 

Adobe Premiere tutorials are available from adobe.com/learn. 

To view introductory Premiere tutorials, click on Premiere Pro and select Beginner in the Skill Level drop down menu.
