I’d create a short-form video documenting my transition from editing solely in-app to creating my first polished piece using Adobe Creative Cloud. The video would start with me editing a typical TikTok-style video, then cut to me learning Adobe Premiere Pro and refining the same content — cleaner cuts, better color, intentional pacing. The story would focus on the learning curve: moments of confusion, small wins, and the final glow-up — showing how Adobe tools help turn creative ideas into portfolio-ready work. I’d pair this with a story-style static post breaking down what I learned and why industry-standard tools matter for students preparing for internships and creative careers. The tone would be honest, progress-focused, and relatable — showing that you don’t need to be an expert to start creating at a higher level.

While I’m newer to Adobe Creative Cloud, I have strong hands-on experience in content creation and editing through short-form platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where I edit all of my videos myself. I’m very familiar with storytelling, pacing, transitions, captions, and visual flow — and I’m excited to translate those skills into Adobe tools. I’m especially interested in learning Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing and Photoshop/Lightroom for visual refinement and color grading. I pick up new software quickly and genuinely enjoy learning creative tools that help elevate my work. I see this opportunity as a way to document my learning process while showing other students that industry-standard tools are accessible, even if you’re starting from scratch.
