1. Premiere Pro CS4 Getting StartedWelcome| 00:00 | (Music plays.)
| | 00:05 | Hi, I'm Paul Trani and this is Getting Started with Premiere Pro CS4.
Premiere Pro is really a start to finish video production solution that's
| | 00:14 | easy to learn and it's powerful. It gives you powerful results.
So whether you want to get your vision online, on air or
| | 00:21 | even on a device that's in your pocket,
| | 00:23 | Premiere Pro can make it happen to for you.
| | 00:26 | So if you don't know anything about Premiere Pro then you've
come to the right place. I want to show you the basics of what
| | 00:31 | you need to know to get yourself up and running in no time.
So getting your project up and in the program to
| | 00:37 | capturing and even importing this material.
| | 00:40 | Little shortcuts, maybe applying some effects, maybe a little bit of
audio over here and basically how to export this out to pretty much
| | 00:47 | any place where you want to put it.
| | 00:49 | After you've gotten these basics down, we can take the next step
to being a Premiere Pro pro with the Essential Training title
| | 00:56 | here on lynda.com. Right now let's take the first
step, shall we? Learning a powerful production tool.
| | 01:01 | Getting Started with Premiere Pro CS4.

| Getting started| 00:00 | What is Adobe Premiere Pro CS4?
Well, it is a professional video editor,
| | 00:05 | allowing you to create any movie you
want and from there, you can go ahead and
| | 00:09 | output that movie to any format you
would like as well. You can also take files
| | 00:16 | created from other Adobe programs
and then use them in your Premiere Pro
| | 00:20 | project, editing those files
together with footage, adding effects and
| | 00:24 | transitions and even add titles. And
from there, you can output your movie to TV,
| | 00:30 | you can put it on a DVD, you can
put it on your mobile phone or even upload
| | 00:34 | it to a video service like YouTube.
| | 00:37 | To get oriented, let's talk about what
we will be doing. We will be creating
| | 00:41 | this surf movie. So, you can see that
graphics have actually been imported,
| | 00:48 | there is a background video that
has been tinted with color as well as
| | 00:52 | distorted. These clips have actually
been color-corrected as well, because this
| | 00:59 | was actually filmed on a cloudy day
and the water wasn't quite that blue.
| | 01:06 | These transitions between each clip,
there is music in the background and
| | 01:14 | lastly you can easily add text, all
from within Premiere Pro. And sure enough,
| | 01:19 | once it's done, I can output it to
pretty much any platform I want to and know
| | 01:23 | that if you don't have any of the
exercise files that make up this movie,
| | 01:26 | you can easily use your own clips
to parallel what I am doing.

| Setting up your first project| 00:00 | When you first launch Adobe Premiere
Pro CS4, you are welcomed by the welcome
| | 00:04 | screen. And as you can see, I can easily
create a new project, open a project I
| | 00:09 | already have created or even access
the Help if I want. Not only that, but I
| | 00:13 | have quick access to recent projects
that I have created as well. But for our
| | 00:17 | purpose, what we are going
to do is create a new project.
| | 00:20 | First off, what is a project?
A project is basically going to contain all of
| | 00:23 | the assets, all of the sequences for
creating your movie. So, I am going to
| | 00:28 | select New Project. So, as you can see,
I have a screen with plenty of settings
| | 00:32 | here. For the most part, you are not
going to have to worry about any of these
| | 00:35 | settings except for these bottom two,
which, of course, the location of where
| | 00:39 | you are going to save this project.
In this case, it's going to go in the
| | 00:42 | Exercise Files folder and I need to
make sure, I give my project a name.
| | 00:46 | I'm going to call it 01_03 and then hit OK.
| | 00:51 | The next screen you get is the chance
to make a sequence. Now, a sequence is
| | 00:55 | actually going to be the timeline of
your movie but you need to make sure your
| | 00:59 | sequence, of course, has the appropriate
settings for whatever video you are creating.
| | 01:03 | So, plenty of acronyms here;
for the most part, I can easily jump
| | 01:06 | into any one. Some popular ones are DV-
NTSC. I can make a standard video size by
| | 01:13 | selecting this sequence preset or I
can do a widescreen size as well. I can
| | 01:18 | look at the description over on the
right side and make sure, say for instance,
| | 01:22 | the frame size is appropriate from what
I am making and the pixel aspect ratio as well.
| | 01:28 | But for the most part, that's looking
pretty good. It's what I want to use. So,
| | 01:32 | I have it selected and then I just
need to give this sequence a name.
| | 01:40 | GroundswellSequence1 and then select OK.
So here I am in Premiere Pro. You can
| | 01:46 | see there is plenty of panels here,
but note that sure enough, I am in 01_03
| | 01:51 | project and there is also my sequence
available there as well. So, from here,
| | 01:56 | I can basically start importing
my assets to create my movie.

| Capturing video from tape| 00:00 | Premiere Pro lets you assemble
elements such as videos and graphics into
| | 00:04 | movies. If your source video is on
tape then you will need to capture that to
| | 00:08 | hard drive. So, let's start off by
making sure we have Project 01_04 open and
| | 00:14 | I'm actually going to capture from
FireWire. I basically have a video camera
| | 00:19 | connected. So, as long as that's
connected, all I need to do is go to File >
| | 00:23 | Capture and it actually registers
currently just a blank frame on my video
| | 00:29 | camera so far. Let's first talk about
some of the settings that we have on the
| | 00:33 | right side.
| | 00:34 | So, the first thing I want to do is
just I know I have some surfboard shots,
| | 00:38 | so that's going to be the Tape Name
and then I can give it a Clip Name and
| | 00:45 | I want to call this Board Shots 03.
It's going to be the third clip I need to
| | 00:51 | capture here. So, you can give it any
clip name that you want and now I am
| | 00:55 | going to click over to Settings. So,
from here, I can go ahead and save out
| | 00:59 | this video. Often, it defaults to the
Same as Project but what I want to do is
| | 01:04 | actually save it to my video folder
in that location, so that's where it's
| | 01:09 | going to save my Board Shots 03 file.
| | 01:12 | I am going to go back to Logging and we
are looking pretty good; now, let's go
| | 01:17 | ahead and locate our footage.
So, I'm going to go ahead and click Play.
| | 01:23 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 01:25 | And this is the footage I actually want
to capture. I probably only need around
| | 01:29 | 10-12 seconds of a board shot. So, what
I am going to do is I am going to just
| | 01:33 | go ahead and hit Record and then hit Play.
| | 01:40 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 01:41 | And now, it's capturing this footage.
| | 01:43 | (Sound of waves crashing/background conversation.)
| | 01:48 | It's pretty good, I am going to go
ahead and hit Stop now. It captured that
| | 01:52 | footage, it gives me a clip name of
Board Shots 03.avi. I can easily just go
| | 01:57 | ahead and give it a description as well.
It's my surfboard close up shot and
| | 02:05 | I am just going to go ahead and select OK.
| | 02:06 | I am going to go ahead and close this
Capture screen. It actually, of course,
| | 02:13 | saves out the Board Shots 03 in my
project ready to use in my timeline. So, you
| | 02:19 | can see, it's easy to basically grab
any footage of any connective device,
| | 02:23 | especially any sort of video
camera easily ready to use in my project.

| Importing and organizing assets| 00:00 | One of the first steps in creating your
movie will be to import assets that you
| | 00:04 | want to use, such as video, graphics
and audio files. Let's take a look at how
| | 00:08 | this is done. First off I want to
make sure project 01_05 is open in our
| | 00:13 | Exercise Files folder. Then I actually
want to view the Media Browser panel, so
| | 00:20 | you can see my Media Browser is open
and you can see that I have access to all
| | 00:24 | the drives that are either inside or
connected to my computer. So whether they
| | 00:28 | are internal drives, external drives,
any sort of media connected to this
| | 00:32 | computer will actually show up in this list.
| | 00:34 | If I have a DVD inserted in my DVD
player, I can access those video files. So I
| | 00:39 | can get to any location and just drill
down to any location I want to access
| | 00:45 | such as our Exercise Files folder into
Assets. So what I want to do is access
| | 00:50 | this audio folder. From there I am
locating this music file. So maybe before I
| | 00:54 | import it, I actually want to play it
to make sure that this is the right file
| | 00:58 | and I can do that just by double-
clicking on it. It actually opens up in my
| | 01:02 | Source monitor and then I can just hit Play.
| | 01:05 | (Music plays.)
| | 01:09 | Okay, that is, that's the right track I want to use;
so I can just click and drag it to my Project panel.
| | 01:16 | Now it's added and ready to be used in my sequence.
| | 01:19 | So I can access graphics for instance
as well. So in my graphics folder, you
| | 01:23 | can see I have an Illustrator file as
well. So let me just double-click on
| | 01:27 | that and I get a preview of it in my
Source monitor which is great and I can
| | 01:32 | even double-click on this logo and
that looks good as well. So what I can do
| | 01:36 | from here is just do a Ctrl-click or
Command-click if you are on Mac to select
| | 01:42 | multiple files. Then all I need to is
click and drag them to the Project panel.
| | 01:47 | All right, lastly I am actually going to
go to this Video folder and you can see
| | 01:52 | in here I have plenty of QuickTime
movies and I can actually double-click on
| | 01:56 | any one of these and then play
it in my Source monitor as well.
| | 02:05 | So now I can determine whether I
want to use this file or not. I know I
| | 02:09 | actually want to use all of these files.
So I am just going to select the top
| | 02:13 | file and this bottom file; by holding
down my Shift key, I can select them all.
| | 02:20 | Notice that I actually have selected a
folder where there exists an additional
| | 02:25 | movie clip as well. But I want to
import all of these and I can just click and
| | 02:29 | drag those all to my Project panel.
And what did it do? But it actually
| | 02:34 | imported that folder as well. Now folders
in Premiere Pro are actually called bins.
| | 02:39 | They do the same thing; they allow
me to organize my project which --
| | 02:44 | my project needs organizing because I've got
plenty of videos in here that need to be organized.
| | 02:49 | So let me just go ahead and create a
new bin, just by selecting the New Bin
| | 02:53 | button. It adds a bin and I can call
this Video and I have it named. I can
| | 03:02 | again go through and Shift-select all
the video files that I want to put in
| | 03:08 | that folder and drag them in there.
Let's see if there is any others. There is
| | 03:13 | this QuickTime movie I want to drop
into the Videos folder. We're looking pretty
| | 03:17 | good. Let's add two more bins as well,
after I put in this interviews folder,
| | 03:22 | inside of this folder as well.
| | 03:24 | So I can nest a folder inside of a
folder or a bin inside of a bin. So here is
| | 03:29 | my Video folder, I want to actually
mimic the same structure I have in my
| | 03:33 | Exercise Files and my Assets folder. So
I am going to add another folder called
| | 03:38 | Graphics and do it Shift-select to select
all of my graphics. Just drag them in there.
| | 03:47 | Lastly I am going to go ahead
and create an Audio bin and click and drag
| | 03:54 | that music file into that Audio folder.
| | 03:57 | So as you can see, the Media Browser
allows me to locate the files I want to,
| | 04:01 | bring them into my project and then I
am easily able to organize my project as
| | 04:06 | well by using bins. Now I am
basically ready to start creating my movie.

| Exploring the workspace| 00:00 | To take full advantage of Premiere
Pro's tools and capabilities, you need to
| | 00:04 | know your way around the interface. So
let's have a look. As you can see I do
| | 00:08 | have this Project panel selected, and
in Exercise Files I have project 01_06
| | 00:14 | open. So you can see that I have this
panel selected because that actually
| | 00:17 | gives me this orange line around that.
So we can actually tell which panel is
| | 00:21 | selected by that orange line. What
else I can do is view more information say
| | 00:27 | for instance, this panel by expanding
it out this way. So that's a good way to
| | 00:32 | adjust the interface, say for
instance, if I even want to make this Media
| | 00:35 | Browser panel smaller, I just need to
click on the line that separates those
| | 00:39 | two panels and adjust accordingly.
| | 00:42 | So this Project panel, if I want to
give it more room or less room I can easily
| | 00:46 | do that. But you know I can really
expand this out and I can actually scroll
| | 00:51 | through and see all of this other
data available for all of my folders and
| | 00:56 | files. But what I want to do is
expand this and show it full screen.
| | 01:00 | So I am going to hit the Tilde key,
which is the key in your upper left-hand
| | 01:03 | corner, and that actually gives me the
ability to view this panel full screen or
| | 01:07 | any panel for that matter selected, can
easily view it full screen. So this is
| | 01:13 | really helpful if you do have a lot
of data such as your Project panel.
| | 01:17 | It allows you see what's in here and
what's available and then I can just hit the
| | 01:20 | Tilde key to go back.
| | 01:22 | Often what's going to happen is you are
going to adjust your interface that you
| | 01:25 | might be working on Effects one moment
and then editing in your Timeline the
| | 01:30 | next moment. You can see that you might
end up manipulating the interface a lot
| | 01:35 | or what you can do is actually go to
Window > Workspace and use these preset
| | 01:41 | workspaces already setup. So I can
actually select Effects when I am ready to
| | 01:46 | work on Effects and then it shifts my
interface appropriately to give me the
| | 01:51 | Effect Controls and of course the
sequence and all of that. When I am editing,
| | 01:56 | I can easily go back to Editing as
well. Another thing I can do is say for
| | 02:01 | instance if you do want to
customize this, you can easily customize the
| | 02:05 | interface so I can close panels and
really get this the way I want it just by
| | 02:12 | adjusting the interface this way and
I can actually save this workspace.
| | 02:16 | So it's always going to be this way
when I open up this project. So I can go to
| | 02:19 | Window > Workspace > New Workspace and
I'll just call this Groundswell Editing,
| | 02:29 | select OK. So anytime it gets changed
to something else, I can always change it
| | 02:35 | back, by going to Window > Workspace >
Groundswell Editing. So you can see that
| | 02:41 | this really saves time being able to
access the appropriate panels that you
| | 02:44 | want to use, so you can really focus on editing.

2. Editing and Exporting Your VideoEditing your video| 00:00 | Now, I am going to get into the
basics of the video editing. This is where
| | 00:03 | things get exciting because it's where
your movie really starts to come alive
| | 00:07 | and take shape. So, let's start off by
making sure we have the correct project
| | 00:12 | open, we should have Project 02_01
opened. It is in our Exercise Files folder.
| | 00:16 | And what I now want to do is select the
clips I want to use, edit them and put
| | 00:21 | them in the timeline in any order I choose.
| | 00:24 | So, first off, open up the Video bin
and we go to Surfing 01 movie. I am going
| | 00:30 | to double click on it and that opens
it up in the Source Monitor. Now, what I
| | 00:35 | am going to do in the Source Monitor is
actually trim up this video clip. So, I
| | 00:40 | want to make sure this video clip is
trimmed appropriately before I actually
| | 00:47 | insert it into my timeline.
| | 00:49 | So, what I can do is I can just hit Play.
| | 00:51 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 00:54 | To determine the segment of the video that I want
to keep. Now, I can actually click and drag this
| | 01:00 | control time indicator to the point I
want this clip to start and then all I
| | 01:06 | need to do is set the In point by
selecting that button there, so actually it
| | 01:10 | trimmed off the first couple of
seconds here. I can scrub, which is basically
| | 01:15 | move my control time indicator toward
the end, the last part I want to keep, and
| | 01:22 | then I can set the Out Point.
| | 01:25 | So, I basically trim to this video, now
I can insert it in the timeline. How I
| | 01:29 | do that is I can just click and drag it
to my timeline. I am actually dragging
| | 01:33 | it into the Video 1 layer. So, it actually
is that thin vertical line, kind hard to see,
| | 01:39 | so I can hit the Plus key on my
keyboard and zoom in and see sure enough,
| | 01:44 | that's my Surf 01 movie. Everything
in my timeline actually appears in my
| | 01:50 | Program Monitor. So, this is going to
be my final output. So, I can watch my
| | 01:55 | final output, of course, by
hitting the Play button there.
| | 01:59 | All right, now I can actually go ahead
and select the next clip I want to add.
| | 02:05 | So, 03, I can double-click on it and I
want to do the same thing here. I want
| | 02:09 | to be able to scrub, which is just
moving my time marker, to certain point in
| | 02:14 | time. Say this segment, set the In
Point, set the Out Point and then I can
| | 02:25 | just drag it into my timeline. Now, I
am going to use the Minus key now to zoom
| | 02:31 | out, so I can zoom in and zoom out.
So, I have added two clips already,
| | 02:35 | they are looking pretty good. I have quite
a few videos I actually want to add. So,
| | 02:39 | I am going to go through and select
some of these other video clips. Just by
| | 02:46 | holding down the Ctrl key on PC or
the Command key on Mac, I am able to
| | 02:51 | select Board Shots, Focus Pulls, SloMo,
Surfing 04 and Walking up the Beach.
| | 02:58 | So, with all those file selected, I
can click and drag them into the timeline
| | 03:03 | and they get assembled into this sequence.
| | 03:07 | Now, I can also grab this time
indicator and pull it to the right to adjust
| | 03:14 | what I see in the timeline as well. So now, I can hit Play...
| | 03:17 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 03:21 | and see it go from one scene to the next. So,
we have quite a bit going on here. It just actually
| | 03:31 | dropped in all of the various clips
in according to the order that I have
| | 03:35 | selected them but I can easily adjust
that as well. So, say for instance, I
| | 03:39 | have these two clips here that are
back at the end, Focus Pulls and Board
| | 03:44 | Shots. What if I want to move Board
Shots to the very front as the first video?
| | 03:49 | Well, normally, what you will do is
you will do a click and drag, but watch
| | 03:53 | what happens when I do that. It actually
does an overlay edit. So, it actually
| | 03:58 | overlays the videos that were
here, which doesn't work for me.
| | 04:02 | So, I am just going to go Edit > Undo
and instead I am going to select this
| | 04:06 | file and I am going to hold down the
Ctrl key on PC or Command key on Mac,
| | 04:10 | and now, I am actually going to drag
it to the front and I will get these two
| | 04:12 | little arrows saying "Hey! You know what,
I am going to push all the clips down."
| | 04:16 | So, this is basically a ripple edit.
And sure enough, it did move it to the
| | 04:21 | front. I am going to do this same thing
with Focus Pulls. I am going to click,
| | 04:25 | again, holding down my Ctrl key on
PC or Command key on Mac and move that to
| | 04:30 | the front as well.
| | 04:30 | So, you can see how you can move
around clips by doing that. Same thing for
| | 04:35 | editing if I even want to edit a clip.
Let's go ahead and take a look at this
| | 04:39 | Surfing 04 movie. I can just scrub
through by just moving my control time
| | 04:45 | indicator, I can see how long this
video is and it's pretty long. So, I can
| | 04:49 | trim that down if I want to as well
just by dragging my cursor over the right
| | 04:54 | edge and clicking and dragging to
the left and then I am able to actually
| | 04:58 | shorten that clip. And, of course, it
leaves a space. So, that actually doesn't
| | 05:06 | work for me. I can actually remove that
space by selecting this clip and moving
| | 05:12 | it over and that
basically gets rid of the space.
| | 05:16 | Another way to do that is select the
clip you want to edit and this time I am
| | 05:20 | going to hold down the Ctrl key again
on PC or Command key on Mac and now, when I
| | 05:26 | do the click and drag to trim up
the left side, when I let of the cursor,
| | 05:32 | it actually does the edit and
removes the space. So, again, anytime you
| | 05:38 | want to shift things around, think
of holding down the Ctrl key on PC or
| | 05:41 | Command key on Mac and it will make
your life a lost easier and really makes
| | 05:45 | editing really easy as well.
| | 05:48 | Now, what I want to do is select this
last clip and hold down my Ctrl key
| | 05:52 | and then move this closer to the front,
so it's actually the second surfer
| | 05:59 | video you see. And this last clip, I am
going to hold down my Ctrl key again
| | 06:04 | and Command key on Mac and actually
move that forward as well. So, we have a
| | 06:09 | series of surfing shots bookmarked, if
you will, by person walking on the beach
| | 06:15 | both at the beginning and then at the end.
| | 06:18 | So, as you can see, basic video
editing is as simple as dragging and dropping
| | 06:22 | assets you want from the Project
panel into the timeline and then adjusting
| | 06:27 | either the length of each clip or even
moving them around pretty easily just
| | 06:33 | all by more or less a drag-and-drop.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Correcting color| 00:00 | Let's first start off by opening up
our project. We want project number 02_02
| | 00:05 | in our Exercise Files folder and this
has an issue that it will be common to
| | 00:10 | any assets that you deal with, which is
a sort of color contrast issue. In our
| | 00:15 | case, what happened is this video
footage was actually taken on a cloudy day,
| | 00:20 | it was overcast. So, it looks a little
washed out and there is also that green
| | 00:25 | tint of the water that I really like
to adjust if I can. So, this is a common
| | 00:29 | issue that you are going to run into
that you really like to adjust; adjusting
| | 00:33 | the color and basically correcting the contrast.
| | 00:36 | So, what we actually want to end up
with is something more like what we have in
| | 00:41 | our final video where the water is blue,
there is sufficient contrast and it
| | 00:45 | really gives that punch that we need. So,
that's actually what we are going for
| | 00:49 | and how we are going to do this is we
are going to use Effects. So, I am going
| | 00:53 | to go to Window, down to Effects and in
our Effects panel, we'll notice that we have
| | 00:59 | Video Effects. Plenty in here, but for
the most part, I can actually twirl down
| | 01:04 | this Adjust folder.
| | 01:05 | Actually, I already have some Auto
Color, Auto Contrast, Auto Levels.
| | 01:09 | So really, Premiere Pro allows me to use
any one of these and it pretty much takes
| | 01:14 | care of the contrast for me. So,
let's go ahead and try Auto Contrast, I am
| | 01:17 | going to select it and click and drag
it to that clip. Now, when I let go my
| | 01:22 | mouse, you can see it did add a
sufficient contrast for this video. So, it's
| | 01:27 | already looking better. That's great.
Still has that green tint which is what I
| | 01:31 | would like to change. So, what I am
going to do now is I am actually going to search.
| | 01:35 | I am going to search for
Change to Color. Really, whatever you are
| | 01:40 | looking for, go on your hunch, type
it in and it probably will pull up.
| | 01:44 | In this case, under Color Correction is
Change to Color, and I am going to click
| | 01:48 | and drag that to our clip there.
| | 01:50 | Notice that nothing happened because I
actually haven't picked the color that
| | 01:55 | I want to change to another color. We
are going to do that now. I am going to
| | 01:58 | go to Window, down to Effect controls.
Now, here are all my effects for this clip.
| | 02:04 | You can see, there are actually
some fixed effects like Motion, which
| | 02:08 | allows me to move this video
across the screen. Opacity adjusts the
| | 02:13 | transparency and Time Remapping will
actually change the speed or duration of
| | 02:17 | this clip. But notice that here are
my two effects that I have added,
| | 02:21 | Auto Contrast and Change to Color.
| | 02:23 | So, I can actually turn off Auto
Contrast and you can see the before and then
| | 02:27 | the after. Now, what I want to focus on
now is Change to Color. So, I am going
| | 02:32 | to twirl that down and here are all
my settings for the color to change and
| | 02:37 | what to change it to. So, what I
actually want to do is start by picking the
| | 02:42 | color to change. So, it's going to be
that green color, I am going to select
| | 02:46 | the eyedropper and I am going to go in
and we'll just select this green right
| | 02:51 | in here. What it did is it turns
every green color that I have selected into red.
| | 02:59 | So, it actually gives me a visual
indication of what is going to be changed.
| | 03:04 | Next thing I need to do is to go to To
and select the Color Picker by selecting
| | 03:08 | that color cube. Let's go with a nice
aqua blue and then select OK and just
| | 03:16 | like that, it can't be any simpler.
Actually, it did a great job of tinting the
| | 03:23 | water to more of a blue, so changing it
from green to blue. A great job. I can
| | 03:28 | go and actually adjust this even more,
say for instance, change the Softness.
| | 03:33 | If I want to, I can drag this more to
the left and it actually picks up more of
| | 03:38 | that green as well. So, if there's any
residual green that's not selected,
| | 03:43 | it will actually pick it up. It did a
wonderful job of really giving this water a
| | 03:46 | blue tint and it actually gave me
the contrast I need as well using Auto Contrast.
| | 03:53 | So, I have done all that work for this
one clip and sure enough, these other
| | 03:57 | clips still have that same issue. Still
washed out and have that green look and
| | 04:03 | I really like to change that if I can.
So, what I can do is go ahead and just
| | 04:09 | do Ctrl-click using PC or Command-click
using the Mac, select those two effects
| | 04:16 | that you want to save because what I
want to do is select these two and save
| | 04:21 | them as a preset. So, with those two
selected, I am going to the flyout menu in
| | 04:26 | the upper-right corner and I am going
to Save Preset. So from here, I can say,
| | 04:32 | Blue Water, just call it Blue
Water and then I am going to select OK.
| | 04:38 | So now, I have just saved that preset,
where does it exist? It exists right in
| | 04:42 | my Presets folder. There it is, Blue
Water. So now, anytime I want to use it,
| | 04:48 | say on this clip, I can just click and
drag it on to that clip and did a great
| | 04:53 | job with contrast and the color. And I
can do that pretty much for every clip I
| | 04:57 | want to, say for this one
as well and lastly, this clip.
| | 05:03 | So, really saving this preset really
gives me full control and it really saves
| | 05:07 | my time allowing me to only really
create these effects once and then I'll
| | 05:11 | apply them to multiple clips. Really
just giving my videos sort of a nice
| | 05:15 | polish and exactly the sort of
contrast and color that I want.

| Applying transitions| 00:00 | Premiere Pro also gives to you the
ability to add transitions to your movie.
| | 00:04 | So let's make sure we have our project
open which is 02_03 in our exercise files
| | 00:09 | folder and basically what I want
to do is add the transitions in.
| | 00:13 | What are transitions?
| | 00:14 | They basically allow me to get from one
clip to the next. You know you can fade
| | 00:19 | in from black, you can transition
easily from one scene to the next, all done
| | 00:24 | with transitions. Just keep in mind
that often the best transition is just a
| | 00:28 | straight cut. So when in doubt
use a cut; another popular one is
| | 00:32 | the cross fade that I am going to show you.
| | 00:34 | But just to start off, I want to
actually fade in from black at the very
| | 00:38 | beginning here. So what I am going to
do is I am going to go to Window, down to
| | 00:43 | Effects and this is where all my
transitions live, in Effects > Video
| | 00:48 | Transitions. So if I twirl that down,
I can go into say Dissolve and I can
| | 00:55 | see here is Dip To Black.
| | 00:58 | So I am going to actually go to my
Timeline panel and I am actually going to
| | 01:02 | zoom in by clicking the plus sign just
so we can see this better. So I want it
| | 01:07 | to fade in from black and all I need
to do to apply this effect is click and
| | 01:11 | drag it on to that clip. Sure enough,
there it is. Let me go ahead and hit Play.
| | 01:17 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 01:20 | Just like that, you can see that
it slowly fades in. If I want to
| | 01:25 | actually have a slower fade, well, I
can easily adjust the length of this. So
| | 01:30 | let me just zoom in a little more by
hitting the plus key. If I want this
| | 01:36 | transition to last longer or shorter
all I need to do is drag that right edge
| | 01:42 | either longer, I can make it two
seconds long if I want or I can even make it
| | 01:47 | half-a-second.
| | 01:48 | I am going to prefer to make it half-a-second.
| | 01:52 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 01:53 | So we can get right to the video. So you can see just
by dragging the edge is how I can adjust the length
| | 01:59 | of the transition. So let's explore
some of the other transitions as well.
| | 02:03 | Let's say for instance -- for a lot of
these clips I might just want to do a
| | 02:07 | Cross Dissolve as opposed to a cut.
So Cross Dissolve from this clip to the
| | 02:12 | next one. So I am just going to go
ahead and select my Cross Dissolve, click
| | 02:17 | and drag it right there and zoom in and hit Play.
| | 02:26 | And you can see the cross dissolve shows you and
basically has one video blending into the next,
| | 02:33 | another great transition.
So let me zoom out a touch.
| | 02:39 | I really encourage you to actually
explore all of these transitions to really
| | 02:43 | see what they can do because there's
just so many of them. Maybe lastly what
| | 02:47 | I want to do is actually add something
a little more interesting like the zoom.
| | 02:51 | So let me just twirl that down and go
to Cross Zoom. So this is not only going
| | 02:55 | to do a cross between the two videos,
it's actually going to zoom in as well.
| | 02:58 | So let me just drop that between those
two clips and zoom in so we can see it,
| | 03:04 | and let's hit Play.
| | 03:06 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 03:08 | You can see how it zooms in and then zooms out.
| | 03:12 | So that really kind of keeps in
context of sort of sucking you in to the
| | 03:16 | scene, but isn't too distracting
such as some sort of 3D rotation for a
| | 03:21 | transition. So really the goal is to
pick an appropriate transition for your
| | 03:25 | video and just drop it in the
appropriate place. So the last thing I probably
| | 03:29 | want to do is actually use a Cross Dissolve,
click and drag it that to the very
| | 03:33 | last video and make sure
it fades out at the end.
| | 03:36 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 03:41 | So as you can see it's really easy to
find a transition you want to use and
| | 03:45 | apply it. It's very simple but often
a straight cut is probably going to be
| | 03:50 | your best solution.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Applying effects| 00:00 | There are so many more effects aside
from color correction and transitions that
| | 00:04 | Premiere Pro has and that's what we
are going to explore now. So we are going
| | 00:08 | to make sure project 02_04 is open;
that's in your Exercise Files folder,
| | 00:13 | and really what I want to do is tint this
clip to something a little more fun and
| | 00:20 | festive. Just basically add a color overlay
to it, to this video as well as this one.
| | 00:25 | So let's take a look at the final file.
You can see that this one does have a
| | 00:29 | color overlay that we actually want to
execute right now. So let's go ahead and
| | 00:34 | with this clip selected, I am actually
going and open up the Effects panel. So
| | 00:38 | I am going to Window and to Effects.
So what I want to add is a four-way colors,
| | 00:45 | so I am just going to type in 4
into the Search field and it's a
| | 00:49 | 4-Color Gradient that I want to add.
| | 00:51 | I am going to show you what happens
when I apply this. I am just going to click
| | 00:54 | and drag it to that clip and then it
overlays the whole thing with those four
| | 01:00 | colors. So now I can actually begin to
adjust the different controls on this
| | 01:05 | Effect. So let's go to Window > Effect
Controls, here are the 4-Color Gradient
| | 01:12 | and I can go ahead and twirl that
down as well. So I can easily twirl down
| | 01:19 | Positions & Colors and change the
position or the color or I can even select
| | 01:24 | these various color circles and
manipulate them accordingly. So I can actually
| | 01:32 | kind of switch them around if I want to.
I can change the color pretty easily in here as well.
| | 01:36 | For the most part of it is looking
pretty good. The biggest feature that I want
| | 01:40 | to change is the Blending Mode. So I
want to change this from None to something
| | 01:45 | like say Multiply. So let's change this.
It is a lot like Photoshop; all these
| | 01:50 | blending modes are going to be the
same. That actually does give it a nice
| | 01:53 | look. And I am going to select Screen,
Overlay, Soft Light. So really you can
| | 02:01 | actually play with a lot of these
and really find the right look that's
| | 02:05 | appropriate for your video.
| | 02:06 | I think what's working best is so far I
think Screen is going to look pretty
| | 02:10 | good because I am actually going to
have a title on top of it. So I need it to
| | 02:14 | be it lighter, but you can see just
by applying a 4-Color Gradient and then
| | 02:19 | changing the blending mode really gives
me a nice result. So actually I want
| | 02:23 | to take this and I actually want to
use this same 4-Color Gradient on this
| | 02:30 | clip. So what I can do is just go ahead
and select this effect and save it as a
| | 02:37 | Preset and we will just call it Color Wash.
So we're giving it a splash of color, select OK.
| | 02:45 | Now I can go to this next clip if I
want to. Look in my Presets, and click and
| | 02:51 | drag the Color Wash to this clip as well.
So I am easily able to apply effects
| | 02:57 | across multiple clips and then even
adjust them accordingly if I want to.
| | 03:01 | But for this video, say for instance, I
might want to add a little bit more say,
| | 03:05 | some sort of distortion. Well I can do
that as well by going into Video Effects
| | 03:11 | and let's take a look at Distort.
There's plenty we can do in here. What I
| | 03:15 | actually want to do is select a Bend.
I am going to click and drag it out to
| | 03:19 | that clip and you can see it
immediately already distorted that clip.
| | 03:24 | So it starts to give it this sort
underwater look which is kind of nice.
| | 03:27 | So let's twirl down Bend. You can see
all these are various controls that I can
| | 03:31 | change if I just click and drag on it.
I can change the Horizontal Rate, the
| | 03:36 | Width. So you are really given a lot
of control, but what will I also like
| | 03:40 | about this specific effect is that
it actually is animated, so this Bend
| | 03:46 | actually changes over time. So let's play it.
| | 03:49 | (Sound of waves crashing/background conversation.)
| | 03:53 | So you can see how the video basically
gets distorted, thanks to this Bend. So,
| | 03:57 | there's so much more than just sort of
effects that you can apply but some of
| | 04:01 | them actually do have motion as well,
really producing a really nice look for
| | 04:05 | this particular video. So you can see
the power available in all the effects
| | 04:09 | and I really encourage you to
have some fun checking them out.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Inserting graphics| 00:00 | It's easy to add graphics to your movie,
even allowing you to layer them on top
| | 00:04 | of the video. So let's see how that's
done. First off I want to make sure I
| | 00:08 | have project 02_05 open which is in
your Exercise Files folder and what I want
| | 00:13 | to do is go to the Media Browser panel
and in the Media Browser panel we are
| | 00:17 | going to navigate to the Exercise Files
into Assets/Graphics and we are going
| | 00:22 | to import a Photoshop file. I am going
to show you the various advantages you
| | 00:26 | get in importing a Photoshop file.
| | 00:29 | So let me just click and drag this
into the Project panel and what I get is
| | 00:33 | this dialog box allowing me to merge
all of the layers, if I want to, that are
| | 00:38 | in that Photoshop file. Or I can select
individual layers to merge, to import or
| | 00:45 | I can actually import individual layers.
This is what I am going to want to do,
| | 00:49 | import individual layers. Each one of
these graphics, go ahead and import them.
| | 00:54 | I am going to select OK. What does
it do,? It makes an actually a bin or a
| | 00:59 | folder for all of those layers. So I
can easily just click and drag that to the
| | 01:04 | Graphics folder since they are graphics.
| | 01:08 | Now I am ready to add these various
files. So let me just go to my timeline and
| | 01:14 | let me just zoom out a touch because I
do want it to actually go right to the
| | 01:18 | beginning here. So I am going to start
with this bottom layer and I can check
| | 01:23 | out what each one of these looks like
just by clicking on it. Unfortunately,
| | 01:27 | some of these are actually black type,
but in general if I want to add any one
| | 01:31 | of these, I can just click and drag it.
I don't want to overwrite the video;
| | 01:35 | I want this to be on top of the video.
| | 01:36 | So I am actually going to drop it
right into video layer 2 and drop it right
| | 01:42 | there. So you can see it says Surf
Your. Let's take the next one, drop that
| | 01:47 | into video layer 3. Heart Out. As you can
see I have taken up these layers, video
| | 01:53 | layer 2 and video layer 3, and you would
think maybe that's all the layers that
| | 01:57 | we have available. Well that isn't.
We actually have a total of like 99,
| | 02:01 | so I can just take an additional layer
and all I need to do is drop it into this
| | 02:05 | darker gray space and it automatically
adds a new layer for it. So I can do
| | 02:12 | that once more with this
last layer and drop that in.
| | 02:16 | So you can see how quickly I was able
to add five new video layers for this one
| | 02:21 | segment. So I can see all the
various text on top of the video, so that's
| | 02:25 | looking great. Let me actually start
adjusting the length of these, so let me
| | 02:29 | just zoom out by hitting the Minus key,
because I want each one of these to
| | 02:33 | extend out to the length of this clip.
So what I am going to want to do is
| | 02:39 | select all four layers and click and
drag them to the end of that clip. So now
| | 02:45 | they exist for that whole length of time.
| | 02:49 | So now what I can actually do is,
since these are all on their own separate layer,
| | 02:53 | I can add various other effects to these,
so I can add transitions.
| | 02:56 | So I'm going to the Effects panel and
I'm going to Video Transitions and just
| | 03:01 | going down to Zoom. So from here, I can
just drag on a transition for the first
| | 03:08 | phase, which is Surf Your, so you can
see it has start to slide in and then
| | 03:13 | we'll do a Cross Zoom for the next one
which is Heart Out, so let's have that
| | 03:18 | and then zoom in like that.
| | 03:21 | Since everything is on its own layer,
you are actually able to apply different
| | 03:24 | transitions to each layer. So I have
alternated between the Zoom and Cross Zoom
| | 03:31 | and let me play this from the top,
just so you can see what we get.
| | 03:36 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 03:39 | Yes, see that works out great and again
since I can add all of these various video layers,
| | 03:43 | it gives me more control whether I
want to move these around, whether I
| | 03:47 | want to add effects or even add any
sort of transition. I actually have that
| | 03:51 | ability since they are on their own layer.

| Adding titles| 00:00 | Now, you probably want to give your movie
a title. The Titler enables you to do that.
| | 00:05 | The title can be static or
animated, and that's really easy to create.
| | 00:09 | And here is how you do it.
| | 00:11 | First off, I want to make sure
project 02_06 is open. It's in our Exercise
| | 00:16 | Files folder. First off, let's take a
look at the final video which is right
| | 00:21 | here, that we want to make this
title that crawls across the screen.
| | 00:26 | (Music plays.)
| | 00:33 | So there is that slow crawl of that
title that goes across the screen, and also
| | 00:37 | at the end of the video, we have some
black text that crawls across the screen.
| | 00:40 | (Music plays.)
| | 00:44 | Just goes a little faster. So let's go
ahead and close that final movie, and
| | 00:49 | let's go ahead and make our title. Now,
all we have to do is go to the menu bar
| | 00:53 | at the top, select Title, go down to
New Title, and we have Default Still.
| | 00:59 | That's actually what I
want to select, Default Still.
| | 01:01 | I am given the default settings. It just
defaults to the current Timeline I have
| | 01:06 | selected, my current sequence. And I
want to give it a name. So Santa Cruz,
| | 01:12 | CA, there we are. Select OK,
and it launches my Titler.
| | 01:18 | Plenty of options here. It's a really
great the control I have in the Titler.
| | 01:23 | What I want to start up by doing is
selecting the Type tool. Next thing I want
| | 01:28 | to do is check out these various Title
Styles. So you can see there are plenty
| | 01:33 | of options in here that I can select.
| | 01:36 | Let's go with this golden one right here.
I am going to select that, and all I
| | 01:40 | am going to do is click on the video
frame and just type in Santa Cruz, CA.
| | 01:46 | I do kind of like it, might be a little
loud for me, maybe a little too much.
| | 01:50 | I can easily just select any one of these
other styles to go ahead and change it.
| | 01:54 | To really find the option I like best.
| | 01:57 | So we're going to go with something a
little more conservative such as this
| | 02:00 | selection here, Santa Cruz, CA. It
looks like that text fully isn't popping off
| | 02:06 | that background like I want it to.
This might be kind of hard to read.
| | 02:09 | So actually I need to adjust that drop
shadow, and that's what I am going to do
| | 02:13 | using my Title Properties. So I am
going to click and drag that panel out, so
| | 02:17 | you can see it a little better.
| | 02:19 | As you can see, I actually have
plenty of options in here as far as
| | 02:22 | repositioning it, I am going to close
that, various properties such as Kerning,
| | 02:27 | Tracking. I really have total control
on my properties on the right side here.
| | 02:31 | Well, what I actually want to go down to
is my shadow. So at the very bottom,
| | 02:35 | I can change the opacity of the shadow
to 100%. So I am just going to click on
| | 02:39 | that number and drag to the right, and
you can see sure enough, it makes that
| | 02:44 | shadow black which looks a lot better.
| | 02:47 | I can even change the size by clicking
and dragging to the right as well, to
| | 02:51 | make that stand off even more. And
lastly the Spread, I am going to click and
| | 02:55 | drag to the right. There we go. That is better.
| | 02:58 | Still the fonts are a little large. I can
easily change the size of this font by
| | 03:03 | using this Properties Bar just above
the text. I can click and drag to the left
| | 03:09 | the size, and I am able to shrink it down.
| | 03:11 | So that's looking pretty good. All I
need to do is recenter it. Now, I might
| | 03:15 | just want to click and drag and try to
get this in the center. I can try to eye
| | 03:18 | it, but what I can use is my Title
Actions on the lower left. I can Vertically
| | 03:23 | Center it, and then Horizontally Center
it. There we go, that's perfect. That's
| | 03:28 | exactly what I want.
| | 03:30 | Last thing I want to do is add some
motion to this. So I actually want it to
| | 03:33 | crawl across the screen from the
right to the left. So I am going to select
| | 03:38 | this button here, which
is the Roll/Crawl Options.
| | 03:40 | What I am given here are my different
animation options. I am going to select
| | 03:45 | Crawl to the Left. I am going to make
sure it's going to Start Off the Screen,
| | 03:49 | and then End Off the Screen, and
that's all I need to do, to animate it.
| | 03:53 | So it's really that simple, selecting
Crawl Left, selecting OK. This is ready
| | 03:58 | to go. So I am going to go ahead and
close that by hitting the Close button.
| | 04:02 | There is my title in the Project panel
on the left side there and it's ready to go.
| | 04:08 | So all I need to do to add it to my
sequence is just drag it to the Timeline,
| | 04:13 | and I can drop it anywhere I want. And let's
go ahead and play it and see what it looks like.
| | 04:19 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 04:24 | Not bad, but it goes a little fast.
Well, I can easily adjust the time
| | 04:28 | that it's on screen by selecting
that clip and clicking on the right
| | 04:34 | edge and extending it out. So it
is the length of the clip below it.
| | 04:38 | So it's that easy now. It's going to
go slower, so I am going to play it.
| | 04:41 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 04:52 | So you can see it goes plenty slower and
actually it just really works out well.
| | 04:56 | So I would say this title is
done. It's exactly what I want.
| | 05:00 | Now I can easily add any other title I
want, say for instance if I click down
| | 05:05 | here to this end of video, this is
actually where I want to add the date as
| | 05:10 | well, the date of this event. So that's
going to basically mean that I have to
| | 05:14 | add another title. So I am going to
go to Title > New Title and instead of
| | 05:18 | selecting Default Still, I can
animate it with the Default Roll or Default
| | 05:22 | Crawl, or I can even make a title based
on a template which just includes some
| | 05:27 | sort of pre-baked graphics that I can
use. But what I want to select is the
| | 05:32 | Default Crawl from this selection here
and I am going to give it a new title.
| | 05:43 | August 24, 2008, select OK. It opens
my Titler. I can select my Type tool,
| | 05:51 | click on the screen, August, and you
can see that it actually just started
| | 05:56 | typing just by default. But really
what I want to do is select one of these
| | 06:01 | down below. Select my style, August
24, 2008, just like that. I can start
| | 06:10 | adjusting the properties on the right side.
So let me expand out that panel a little more.
| | 06:15 | In this case, I am going to turn off
that stroke. I am going to close that.
| | 06:20 | I'm going to decrease the opacity of
that shadow slightly. And lastly, I am
| | 06:25 | going to decrease the size of the font.
So by clicking on the Font Size and
| | 06:30 | clicking and dragging to the left, I
can decrease the size of that font.
| | 06:35 | It's looking pretty good. What I
really need to do is center this using the
| | 06:39 | Title Actions, center it Horizontally
and Vertically, and now it's perfectly in
| | 06:43 | position. And let's just check its
animation properties by selecting this Roll/
| | 06:48 | Crawl Options button and make sure
it's set to Crawl Left, Start Off the
| | 06:52 | Screen, and End Off the Screen. It's
exactly what I want. It's ready to go. So
| | 06:56 | I can close the Titler. It appears in
my Project panel, and I can click and
| | 07:02 | drag it to my Timeline. There it is. I
could extend it out, basically make this
| | 07:08 | animation last longer by clicking and
dragging that right edge. And I can watch
| | 07:13 | it by selecting the Play button.
| | 07:15 | (Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 07:19 | That's working out great, but what
might happen is you are going to need to go in,
| | 07:23 | and you are going to want to change
the style, or you are going to want to
| | 07:25 | change say for instance the text. Well,
I can easily do that by double-clicking
| | 07:29 | on the title I want to
change. It launches the Titler.
| | 07:33 | Now, I can come in here and change the
text, add a 'th' in there, that's fine.
| | 07:39 | Let's just recenter it by selecting
Horizontal Center, and now I can close it.
| | 07:45 | Now it updates the title of course in
my Timeline as well. So we're good to go.
| | 07:50 | You can see how the Titler makes it easy
to add text to your movie. You can use
| | 07:54 | it for titles or for any explanatory
text and of course you can animate it as well.

| Adding and adjusting audio| 00:00 | You will nearly always need to make some
sort of audio adjustments to your movies.
| | 00:04 | So let's take a look at how you can do that.
| | 00:06 | First off, let's make sure Project: 02_
07 is open. It's in your Exercise Files
| | 00:11 | folder, and let's take a look at our
final movie. So I am going to play that right here.
| | 00:19 | So you can hear some background music.
The audio from these clips have actually
| | 00:24 | been removed entirely. But then, the
rest of the video contains a mixture of
| | 00:30 | the audio from the clips as
well as the background music.
| | 00:35 | So you can hear some wave sounds as
well as the background music. So that's
| | 00:43 | what we are going for, a mixture of music
and audio from the clips. So that's what
| | 00:47 | we are going to do. I am going to go
ahead and close our Final movie, and let's
| | 00:52 | take a look at this first clip
here. I am going to hit Play.
| | 00:59 | That's the noisy audio we want to get
rid of. So let's go ahead and take a look
| | 01:04 | at how you can do that. I am going to
expand out this Timeline panel because
| | 01:07 | we're really going to focus on these
audio layers down here. Specifically,
| | 01:12 | Audio layer 1. So what I can do is, I
can actually grab those lines to separate
| | 01:18 | each audio layer, and expand
that out, so you can see it better.
| | 01:22 | Another thing I am going to do is,
hit the Plus button to zoom in on that
| | 01:26 | first clip, and what I want to do is
eliminate this audio altogether. And it's
| | 01:30 | really quite easy because all I need to
do is grab this orange line, and then I
| | 01:35 | can just drag it to the bottom to
eliminate the audio. So now let me play it.
| | 01:43 | So you hear absolutely nothing.
| | 01:45 | So I actually want to do that for the
first two clips, is just eliminate that
| | 01:48 | audio entirely, just by clicking and
dragging that line down. So that's how
| | 01:54 | it's done. Let me zoom out a
little bit by hitting the Minus key.
| | 01:59 | So what I want to do next is add a
music track to this Audio layer 2 here. So
| | 02:05 | let's open up our Audio folder and I
am going to select this music file. And
| | 02:10 | all I need to do is click and drag it
to that Audio 2 layer and that's how you
| | 02:15 | basically add an additional audio track.
Now let me go ahead and hit Play.
| | 02:19 | (Music plays.)
| | 02:23 | You can hear we have background music.
We have eliminated the audio from those
| | 02:27 | first two clips, and let's go ahead and
jump into some of these other clips down here.
| | 02:34 | So let me zoom in. I am just going to
hit the Plus button, and I am going
| | 02:39 | to play this audio here,
basically play this section.
| | 02:42 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 02:45 | You can hear the audio from this clip, and even
some of these other clips. So let me just drag this
| | 02:51 | line to kind of zoom out as well. I am
adjusting the Timeline. So let me just
| | 02:55 | go ahead and hit Play.
| | 02:56 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 02:59 | So I am just giving you a sampling of
these other audio clips. I basically need
| | 03:03 | to adjust the audio in each one of these.
| | 03:05 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 03:08 | Because the audio for each one of these clips are
pretty loud, so I want to go ahead and adjust them.
| | 03:13 | So let's take this first one we have here, and I'll hit Play.
| | 03:16 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 03:18 | It's not bad, but let's go ahead and lower that
volume. So let me zoom in and clicking the Plus
| | 03:22 | button. And I am going to go ahead
and grab that line again, that orange
| | 03:27 | line and drag it down, just about a
quarter of the way. Now let me play it.
| | 03:32 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 03:33 | That's more appropriate, that sounds great.
| | 03:35 | So let me hit the Minus key, because I want
to go to this clip for instance and play it.
| | 03:43 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 03:44 | And adjust that audio down some, hit Play.
| | 03:49 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 03:51 | Maybe a little more.
| | 03:54 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 03:55 | Let me zoom out by hitting the Minus key.
Let's take a look at these last two.
| | 04:01 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 04:02 | Pretty loud. So I am going to drag
that line down same level as
| | 04:06 | the one before. I am going to hit Play.
| | 04:08 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 04:10 | Much better, maybe a touch more.
| | 04:14 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 04:15 | And this last clip has audio and I want to
| | 04:18 | eliminate the audio entirely from this
last clip. So I am just going to click
| | 04:21 | and drag that line down and hit Play.
| | 04:23 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 04:25 | And we have just music.
| | 04:26 | So it's actually working out pretty
well. I have all of the audio levels
| | 04:32 | adjusted for all of these various
clips. There is actually this clip that
| | 04:36 | I skipped because when I hit Play, listen to this one.
| | 04:39 | (Music plays.)
| | 04:41 | It doesn't have any audio in it whatsoever, and
let me just hit the Plus key. You can see there
| | 04:45 | is no audio in this one at all.
Whatsoever. And what I would like to add here is
| | 04:49 | some of the wave sounds.
| | 04:51 | So I basically want to add audio from
another clip to this section. So I am
| | 04:56 | going to hit the Minus button, and
I am going to open up my Project panel.
| | 05:00 | I am going to expand this out some just
by adjusting that panel there. And I am
| | 05:04 | going to go ahead and go into the
Video folder, and I am just going to grab
| | 05:09 | say, Surfing 04, go ahead and
double-click on it, and hit Play.
| | 05:13 | (Sounds of waves, background conversation.)
| | 05:18 | So I really want to take this segment,
| | 05:20 | (Sounds of waves.)
| | 05:22 | those wave sounds for this section of
| | 05:26 | the video. So let me go ahead and trim it.
So I am going to set the In point.
| | 05:33 | Maybe set the Out point. And this
section of the wave sound is what I want to
| | 05:37 | take and add to this section of my movie.
| | 05:41 | So I can just click and drag it down,
and what I want to do is I want to drag
| | 05:46 | it down to this Audio 3 layer. But
notice how it adds the video file as well.
| | 05:52 | So we are going to correct that, but I
am basically going to drop it down into
| | 05:55 | Audio layer 3.
| | 05:57 | Now, as you can see it overlays this
video, puts it on top of the video
| | 06:01 | I actually want to keep, and I can't
remove it. They are connected basically.
| | 06:06 | So I need to unlink these two in
order to get rid of this video.
| | 06:10 | So with that clip selected, I am going
to Clip, and I am going down to Unlink.
| | 06:16 | So let me go ahead and unlink that. Now
these two are no longer connected.
| | 06:22 | They don't have a line underneath them
saying that they are connected. They don't
| | 06:25 | highlight at the same time. And all I
need to do is hit the Delete key and
| | 06:29 | then that eliminates that video and
just keeps the audio from the video.
| | 06:34 | So let me go ahead and play it now.
| | 06:36 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 06:38 | Because you can hear that audio now as well.
| | 06:41 | And I am going to take it a step further
because I am going to drag this clip, and
| | 06:44 | I am going to put it right on top of
this audio segment here and extend it out as well.
| | 06:51 | So now it's more in line with all my
other clips. It's a basically some wave
| | 06:55 | audio from another clip that I want to
use, and I can just go ahead and lower
| | 06:59 | the volume just by clicking
and dragging down as well.
| | 07:01 | So it's that simple as far as stealing
audio from another clip. Just dropping
| | 07:06 | it in, making sure you go to Clip >
Unlink to unlink it and then removing the
| | 07:11 | video portion. So now when I listen to it...
| | 07:15 | (Music plays/Sound of waves crashing.)
| | 07:20 | It sounds great.
| | 07:22 | So I have a lot of background music.
I have sort of background noise from all
| | 07:27 | of the various clips, and we are
looking pretty good. But let's take a look at
| | 07:31 | this music file now. Because I really
want it to fade in in the beginning and
| | 07:36 | then I want it to fade out in the end.
| | 07:38 | So let's take a look at adjusting
audio at certain points in time. So let me
| | 07:44 | expand out this panel, and let me go
to this Audio 2 layer which is where my
| | 07:49 | music exists. And I am going to hit
that Expand button, and then I am going to
| | 07:54 | grab this line right here, and expand
that out as well. So I really want you to
| | 07:59 | be able to see this. I am going to
grab this center line as well and scoot
| | 08:02 | that up. As you can see right in here,
there is my audio file. Here is all my
| | 08:06 | waveform for this audio file, and I
basically want it to fade in in the
| | 08:11 | beginning, and then fade out in the end.
| | 08:13 | So I am going to do that by adding
keyframes and then adjusting the volume at
| | 08:17 | certain points in time. So let me zoom
in by hitting the Plus button. So at
| | 08:21 | this point in time, I actually want to
set the volume at its current level. We
| | 08:25 | want to add a keyframe right here. So
let me select this Add-Remove Keyframe,
| | 08:29 | basically adds a keyframe, that little
dot there. Saying, hey! You know what?
| | 08:32 | I want it to be that
level at that point in time.
| | 08:35 | Now, let me go take my marker to the
very beginning, and I am going to add
| | 08:39 | another keyframe by clicking that
button again, and then to lower the volume
| | 08:43 | all I need to do is click
and drag that keyframe down.
| | 08:46 | Now, I have it fading in over that
course of time. Let me hit Play.
| | 08:51 | (Music plays.)
| | 08:54 | I can make it last longer by moving this out
some more, and listen to it again.
| | 09:00 | (Music plays.)
| | 09:03 | Perfect, that's great. Now, let me hit the
Minus key, zoom out because I want to go
| | 09:08 | down to the end now. Let me
hit the Minus key once more.
| | 09:11 | You can see that this audio file is
actually pretty long. So I need to make
| | 09:16 | sure it's the same length as my video.
So I can just click and drag that right
| | 09:20 | side, and line it up perfectly with
the end of the video. Now let me hit my
| | 09:24 | Plus key because for this very end
portion, I actually want to fade it out.
| | 09:28 | So it's again the same process of
adding a keyframe for the level I want it to
| | 09:32 | stay at, and then at the very end,
what I need to do is add another keyframe,
| | 09:36 | and then move that last keyframe down.
| | 09:39 | Now I have it fading out again. And
what I am going to do is click and move
| | 09:42 | that keyframe so it actually fades out
over the course of this entire last video.
| | 09:48 | So let me hit Play.
| | 09:50 | (Music plays.)
| | 09:58 | So that's how you can adjust audio at
certain points in time to get the desired
| | 10:02 | results you want. But, as you can see
it's really easy to add clips, to adjust
| | 10:07 | volumes to clips, even replace audio
in clips as well, and not only that, but
| | 10:12 | adjusting the clips' audio
volume at certain points in time.

| Exporting your project| 00:00 | When you finish editing your movie, you
want to go ahead and make it available
| | 00:03 | to other people. You do this by
exporting into whatever media format you would
| | 00:07 | like from Blu-ray to YouTube. So our
final project is actually project 03_01
| | 00:14 | and it is in our Exercise Files folder
and what I am going to do is I am going
| | 00:18 | to make sure my GroundswellSequence is
selected and I am going to make sure my
| | 00:23 | render marker -- so the movie that I
want to render out is actually controlled
| | 00:30 | by this marker.
| | 00:31 | So I want to make sure that's extended
clear till the end. So seeing as it's
| | 00:37 | extended the full way of the movie,
then the full length, I can go ahead and go
| | 00:40 | to File > Export > Media. That launches
my Export Settings dialog box as well as
| | 00:49 | the Adobe Media Encoder. Now the Adobe
Media Encoder is actually going to be
| | 00:54 | what actually renders out the whole
movie. So when I say render it actually
| | 00:58 | makes every single frame of this movie.
So I am going to go ahead and minimize
| | 01:02 | that. I don't need that right now.
I want to actually check out the Export
| | 01:06 | Settings dialog box here. So as you can
see I get a little preview of the movie
| | 01:11 | here and I can scrub through and
just make sure everything is correct and
| | 01:14 | looking good. Sure enough it is,
it's looking great.
| | 01:18 | Now let's go to our Export Settings
on the right side. So it's great that
| | 01:23 | Premiere Pro provides all these many
different formats that I can export out to.
| | 01:27 | Everything from an animated GIF. I
can make a QuickTime, I can make an FLV,
| | 01:32 | a Flash video file, any MPEG format.
I can make in MPEG2 DVD to go on a DVD
| | 01:39 | or Blu-ray as well. But I am just
going to go ahead and select QuickTime.
| | 01:45 | Now what you see here is of course a
preview and what I actually want to do next is
| | 01:50 | actually change my Preset from
Widescreen to, say for instance, just a standard
| | 01:55 | NTSC Digital Video format.
| | 01:59 | So let's take a look at, if my Preset
is set to that, what is my output going to be?
| | 02:04 | Well, let me show you because there
is this Output tab right next to the
| | 02:09 | Source tab. So if I click on this,
this is my actual video that I am going to get.
| | 02:14 | So you can see with this NTSC
standard Digital Video format, it actually
| | 02:18 | puts these black bars on the top and
the bottom because it's not widescreen
| | 02:23 | format. So that's why I want to make
sure I am always on the Output tab and I
| | 02:27 | want to make sure my Preset is
appropriate for my video. In this case, it's a
| | 02:31 | widescreen video, so I am selecting
Widescreen and that removes those bars from
| | 02:37 | the top and the bottom.
| | 02:38 | So now I am looking great, I am ready
to go. I am given a Summary of exactly of
| | 02:43 | what I am going to output and I can
modify any of these settings if I want to
| | 02:48 | as well by just clicking this
Advanced Mode arrow, so that will expand out
| | 02:55 | basically a lot more settings that I
can then access,. So if I want to lower the
| | 02:59 | quality I can do that, I can change
the audio as well as doing some alternate
| | 03:04 | parameters that I can change as well.
So. But for the most part I want a high
| | 03:08 | quality video and these settings are
just looking great for me. So I am going
| | 03:11 | to go ahead and get back to simple
mode, keep it like that. And lastly I'm
| | 03:17 | actually going to choose an output name.
| | 03:19 | So I am going to click there and
make sure it actually gets output to my
| | 03:25 | Exercise Files folder, in my Assets
folder and since this is the final video
| | 03:31 | I'm going to call it Final and I am
going click Save. So it's ready to go,
| | 03:36 | I am going to click OK.
| | 03:43 | And it opens up the Adobe Media
Encoder and actually lists the
| | 03:48 | video as the first video in this
list and we will began to render it out.
| | 03:53 | So the Adobe Media Encoder is actually
making every single frame of the video
| | 03:59 | right now. So, once the rendering is
done it will actually make this QuickTime
| | 04:06 | movie that you can easily review. Just
go to that folder, it's in our Exercise
| | 04:09 | Files, our Assets folder and just
double click on that QuickTime and then you
| | 04:15 | can go ahead and play it.
| | 04:16 | (Music plays.)
| | 04:20 | So now this video is actually ready to
pretty much put anywhere you want and
| | 04:26 | the great thing about Premiere Pro is
it allows you to render out to pretty
| | 04:30 | much any format that you want. You can
render out to HDTV, you take it out to
| | 04:37 | Blu-ray DVD or even put this video on
the Web. So you can actually upload it to
| | 04:42 | YouTube or something and you can even
put it on your mobile phone. But the
| | 04:46 | great thing is that Premiere Pro
provides me with all of those export settings
| | 04:49 | so I can put it pretty much on any
platform I want, really giving me full control.
