Between all nonlinear editors (NLEs), there are things that are similar and things that are different. If you are migrating to Adobe Premiere Pro CC, what are some similarities and differences in trimming that you need to be aware of? In this movie, author Jeff Greenberg gives some key comparisons about trimming between Premiere Pro and other NLEs.
- In a lot of circumstances throwing footage on the timeline is assembly, where we're finding it is all about the trimming. When I compare Premiere to the other tools, these are the sort of observations I have. First, if you're an Avid editor and you're looking for Add edit, it's that Blade tool, which I call the cut tool, and I call it the cut tool 'cause it's the letter C to cut a clip. Don't forget that you would probably like to see your through edits here, and that's how you can heal a clip to remove that edit.
I'll switch back to my V tool, click, and I can heal that edit right up. If you're looking for tops and tails as an Avid editor, it's the Q and W key. Technically, this is called ripple next edit, ripple previous edit to play head, which is a mouthful. That's why I call it tops and tails, and it's really quick for you to just hit the letter W or Q. In this case I'm going to get everything to the right, I'm going to hit that letter W. Ripple trimming solves a loads of issues, and the key again for me for ripple trim is B, bring the timeline with me.
Every editor has this capability. It's just knowing that it exists and knowing how to access it. It gives you the true power, and it's from the keyboard, which you can find under the keyboard shortcuts, if you don't remember them. Last, JKL Trimming is something either you know about and you're looking for or you've never seen before. It's only going to be found in that trim edit mode, and you have to select a transition and hit Shift + T for that to work.
