    Excellent instructor and very helpful.

  • Joely Saravia Aug 18, 2025

    I would recommend this course to anyone looking to get a jump start on After Effects. Jerron was very clear, friendly, and had a good pace. He also made sure nobody was left behind, either remote or in person. "We are all in this together," he said.

    This was a fun and engaging way to become even more familiar with Premiere Pro. I enjoyed my experience overall.

  • Candy Ellison Jul 28, 2025

    Jerron Smith is a great instructor with a great sense of humor; he's approachable, incredibly knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond in his teaching by not only getting you from point A to point B, but also helping you understand why you're going there.

    Dan is very patient and thorough, and I appreciated my time with him. He really knows the program backwards and forwards. Lots of great information laid out well, point by point. I will take more classes here.

  • Richard Rowland Jun 9, 2025

    I had an incredible experience taking the Video Editing and Motion Graphics course at Noble Desktop. The curriculum was well-structured, hands-on, and packed with real-world applications that immediately leveled up my skills. I especially appreciated the instructor’s clear teaching style, industry knowledge, and patience—they made even the most complex concepts feel approachable and engaging. I walked away not only more confident in my editing and motion graphics abilities but genuinely inspired. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to grow creatively and professionally.

  • Thomas Maguire May 20, 2025

    I had not sat in a classroom since 1982 prior to joining Jerron Smith's Adobe After Effects Bootcamp last week. I enjoyed every moment of the 3 days I spent at Noble. The program is exciting, and the instruction (both printed and as delivered by the very entertaining and enthusiastic Mr. Smith) could not have been better. Made me wish I had discovered Noble when I was a younger man. Loved it, thanks.

  • Anna Levy May 15, 2025

    Jerron was fantastic! Super clear when teaching and showing examples. I was remote and still felt heard and helped. Great for beginners, but it picks up the pace quickly, so it is always interesting and fun.

  • Federico V. May 14, 2025

    Jerron is a great instructor.

  • Melissa Milligan May 9, 2025

    The class content was exactly what I needed: basic Premiere Pro. I don't plan on becoming a master editor. I needed this for your basic corporate video editing for work, and I felt like this covered exactly what I needed, and a bit beyond.

  • Melissa M. May 9, 2025

    Jerron was very upbeat and professional. I really enjoyed taking this course and learned a lot. I'm excited to use what I learned in my professional career.

  • Ranoldo H. Apr 8, 2025

    Jerron is knowledgeable and gave very useful information. The class content was also very interesting. I like to think it does exactly what it says it will, which is give well-rounded info.

  • David Hultgren Apr 8, 2025

    Jerron provides not only the technical details for becoming a successful editor but also explains things with real-world examples. His philosophy is a creative, pragmatic mindset that allows the student to be well prepared to create a visual story.

  • Heather Q. Mar 18, 2025

    My instructor was informative and supportive. He provided insightful, constructive criticism. He would then demonstrate on screen how to improve projects both technically and creatively.
