    I tried downloading the exercise files from the link in "Overview of Premiere Pro" but it just sits there trying to access public.adobecc.com then throws a "Error 503 first byte timeout" issue. Is anyone else having this issue?​

    Yes, I have been having the same issue. Have you received any feedback from Adobe?​

    ​My hopeful application will be the mathematics of green screen & BASIC special effects. I wonder what we can create with this tool? Stay tuned...

    ​I don't know how to use these resources. Is there more of a breakdown somewhere on how to teach what is in each lesson?

    ​Great lessons! Anyone know where I can find pictures that I can use to create tests for my students. I usually use screen shots, but thinking that someone else has a better way.

    ​I am unable to view the assets for the step-by-step technical guides. I am able to see that there is a document supposed to be there, but when I click on it, it pulls up what looks like a blank sheet. Please help as I would love to use this with my students!

    Do you mean the link to the assets folder in the PDF? The step-by-step guides are all of the other documents, aside from the lesson plan, listed above. Click "Download All" to get all of the technical guides.

    If it's the assets - they are .zip files due to the size of the assets. Click into what is the blank page and click the download or save buttons in upper right corner to access the assets.

    ​We recently updated our files to the Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017.1 (April 2017) release. We've also added links to assets used in the step-by-step technical guides.
