Storytelling with Adobe Rush

Adobe Premiere Rush is an all-in-one editor for putting together a video quickly. Available for Mac, PC, or iOS, the Rush apps can quickly combine video, images and audio for a basic digital storytelling project. Rush can export your final video or let you open Rush projects in Premiere Pro for more advanced editing.

Whether in the app or on the web, use your ACU enterprise Creative Cloud account to log in:

  1. From the login page, choose Log in Now at the bottom of the window.
  2. At the Adobe ID sign in, type in your MyACU email address including “@acu.edu” then hit TAB.
  3. This should send you to the normal MyACU Sign In window where you will go ahead and log in.

The following resources introduce not only software considerations but the basics of audio recording and image editing whether you’re producing your first digital story or needing a quick review.

Adobe Rush for Digital Essays

If you’re using Premiere Rush for a basic media project, here are a couple suggestions to showcase your work.

Use Fullscreen Photos

Make sure your images carry their full impact by making them full screen. When you add photos to your timeline, you may need to enlarge them so they fill the full frame. Use the Crop & Rotate tool to change the width or height of images.

Choose Understated Transitions

Most films use either straight cuts or dissolves as they move from one image or video clip to the next. More elaborate PowerPoint-style transitions can be distracting, so when open the Transitions tab limit yourself to either Cross Dissolve or None for transitions.

What else can Camtasia do?

Camtasia is capable of much more than just editing a digital story.

Screen Capture

Camtasia was designed to “record” the computer screen for video tutorials like this one. It offers tools like zooming and highlighting to focus the attention of your audience.

PowerPoint Videos

Screen capture is also a simple way to turn a PowerPoint into a short video. It’s as easy as recording your audio narration as you step through your slides.

Film Clips

Camtasia is also the fastest way to digitize a video clip from a DVD or website. Just find the scene you want to capture, and begin recording the video on screen.
