Barring any kind of pandemic, you can find Ben teaching Premiere and After Effects classes at the School of Visual Concepts, Seattle Central College, and Seattle University.
Ben wrote two books. Adobe Premiere Pro: A Complete Course and Compendium of Features is available where books are sold.
"This was just what I needed! Comprehensive, well-written, and helped me to learn just what I needed. I appreciate how the chapters were laid out and that it gave me information without making me feel stupid. Highly highly recommend!"
"Well written and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend to anyone learning to video edit."
Adobe After Effects: A Complete Course and Compendium of Features is also out there.
"As we probably all have, I’ve seen many explanations of how to use masking in post-production editing, but this book really does a superior job, including helpful photographs, and illustrations of masking."
"I am a college professor who teaches Adobe. This is the best book I've found yet on Adobe's After Effects."
