Update on Downloading Premiere Pro 2025 Student Files

We’ve updated how you download the Premiere Pro 2025 student files to give you and your students a smoother experience.
From now on, please use our new Dropbox link instead of Google Drive, as Google Drive has trouble handling larger files.
Premiere Pro is a demanding program, and because our courses are hands-on and project-based, the files can be large. A computer with sufficient storage space is required to follow along with this course.

To make downloads easier, we’ve compressed the 1080p files. This should speed things up without compromising quality. For students who can download larger files, we’re still including the 4K folder as an option.

⚠️ Please note: If students have very limited storage space (less than 10GB of available space), we recommend downloading Module 1 first, completing the project, and then deleting those files before moving on to Module 2. Continue this process for each module (download → finish project → delete files → move to the next module). This will keep their computer storage free and make the download process easier.

Important Notice – 2025 Adobe Updates

Our 2025 Adobe courses are launching alongside Certiport’s new exams. While videos are ready, some resources are still being finalized and updated in real time. Our 2021–2023 courses remain fully available for use this school year.
