Assuming you know what kind of file you need, you can access the Export window through the File tab, and then after you pick your format, just hit the Export button! Or if you want to export multiple videos in one sitting, you can click the Queue button to queue up the project in Adobe Media Encoder.Next Start Date: Prerequisites: Orientation Length: 4 Weeks (Thursdays) 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM Fee: $150 Instructor: TBDĪdobe Premiere Pro is one of the most advanced video editing platforms in the digital world. Finding the right format and settings is a topic for another article. You are prompted with a lot of settings and options, and if you are not familiar with video formats, it can be overwhelming.
ExportĮxporting a video file can seem complicated. You may want to delete audio entirely, or make the audio come out of only one side of a stereo channel. Getting to know these sliders will result in a great-sounding final mix for your project. At its most basic, you can use this panel to adjust the volume of clips, such as if one is too loud compared to another. When you open it, you will see a mixing board with volume and pan sliders. The Audio Mixer panel can be found in the same panel as the Source Monitor and Effect Controls. Just drag one of the effects onto the clip you want to change, and it will be applied.Īs mentioned above, effects and transitions can be tweaked in the Effect Controls Panel. Which ones you use will depend on the project, but they are all very easy to use. These range from simple fade transitions up to more complex and specific ones. There are plenty of effects and transitions built into Premiere. Simply use the first method of cutting in reverse – drag the bracket the direction you would like to extend the clip, and Premiere will fill back in where footage was removed. Regardless of the trimming method, you never have to worry about losing your footage.
The trimming tools will snap to this point if you get close, taking out any guesswork. Clicking will split the clip in two at that point, allowing you either to delete one half, or to drag the other half somewhere else on the timeline.īoth of these methods can be made more accurate by dragging the position of the video to the exact frame you want to cut on. When this tool is selected, you will see a vertical dotted line over any clip you hover over. It should be located in the tools panel that will, by default, be located between your project panel and timeline. Make sure the arrow is pointed in the direction you would like to trim, then just click and drag! This will cut off the selected clip without having to press a delete button.Īnother way is to use the razor tool. A small icon of a red bracket with an arrow should appear. The first method can be achieved by selecting a clip on your timeline and moving your mouse to the side that you would like to trim. There are a multitude of ways to cut up your footage, so pick whichever one is the most comfortable for you. In most cases, you won’t want the entirety of an audio or video clip to be in your final product. You can insert additional clips, choosing whether to insert between existing clips or to overwrite them in certain areas. For example, adding a regular video file should give you one video track and one audio track. You will see a number of video and audio tracks in the timeline, which allow you to layer different files. Drag any file into the timeline to start, and your first sequence will appear in the project panel. Adding Files to the SequenceĪdding clips to a sequence is easy. This can help with footage that has a scene clapper, an intro, or just a small percentage of usable material. When you drag that file into your timeline, you will only see the section that you marked. What this will do is essentially crop a certain section of your footage. If you know there is a portion of a clip you won’t use, you can double-click the file in your project panel to view it in the Source Monitor, then use these tools to mark an in and out point.
Fine Tuning Clipsīefore adding clips to the timeline, you are able to save some time by using the Mark In and Mark Out tools. The timeline contains sequences, and defaults to having just one to start with. Knowing how this panel works is the key to editing in the program. The most basic of Premiere Pro basics is the timeline panel.
