Now let's see the different workspaces
available in Adob Premiere Pro. Adob
Premiere Pro uses panel-based interfaces
which are called workspaces. The default
workspace contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces, import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now, we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
rightclick on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invado Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the
in-n-out points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool to create vertical text on the
project
window. Firstly, we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor, allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position by clicking on the icon.
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the link
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and video. Then we
have a marker icon which adds markers on
the timeline wherever the playhead is
placed. Markers can be used for
commenting about selected parts of the
timeline, defining chapters in the
project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given them.
Show video thumbnails. It provides a
reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher formats. Composite preview
during trim. It simply shows you a
composite of both the frame being
trimmed and the frame of the current
clip on the timeline. You can turn this
off to see a full screen preview of only
the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So you can set playback resolution
to a lower value. For example, 1/4 of
the actual resolution for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to
full. In the description below, you can
find a link to Invado Elements, which
offers millions of incredible resources
to assist you on your video creation
journey.
We also have a marker option on the
bottom of the source panel or you can
simply press M on the keyboard. We can
add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected markers.
Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in and out points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol.
Now, let's move on to the overwrite
icon, which overwrites the video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is the full stop symbol. Next,
we have the export frame icon, which can
be used for exporting a single frame
from the video clip. Place your playhead
on the desired frame in the video clip.
Click on the export frame button. A
dialogue box will be opened. Now enter a
name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between read only and
read write files for project panels. If
it's toggled for read only, you cannot
import or use these files. All the files
will be read only. Also on the right
side we can see buttons for list view,
icon view and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel.
Now there is an automate sequence
option. By using this option, Premiere
Pro will create a sequence for you using
selected footage or bins in the project
panel. We'll further look into
automating to sequence deeply. Right. To
automate the sequence, we have a find
icon from which we can find the files in
the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac. You can now see the export
window. Here name your file according to
your requirement. I have named it
sample. Now click on browse and select
your preferred location where you want
to save your file.
In the preset drop-down menu, select
preset according to your requirement.
For now, I'm selecting match source
adaptive high bit rate. In format,
select H.264 codec for high quality MP4
video and low file size. In the video,
select render at maximum depth and use
maximum render quality. After that, just
click on export on the right bottom and
your video will start rendering. The
time depends on the video resolution,
effects used, etc. In the description
below, you can find a link to Invato
Elements, which offers millions of
incredible resources to assist you on
your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting.
Now go to the file menu then export and
click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with Adob
Premiere Pro. It has options to create a
new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Metaloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group.
Resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and will select
this clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the right of my click. The next
one is the track selection backward
tool. It is used to select all the clips
to the left of the cursor in a sequence.
The keyboard shortcut for this is shift
+ a. I have taken the track selection
tool and will select this clip. This
tool will select all the clips to the
left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, for video tracks and audio
tracks. For overwriting clips, use the
keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2, and V3 while the audio layers
are named
A1,
A2, and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting, which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given them.
Show video thumbnails. It provides a
reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher
formats. Composite preview during trim.
It simply shows you a composite of both
the frame being trimmed and the frame of
the current clip on the timeline. You
can turn this off to see a full screen
preview of only the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow keys.
Source monitor also has a play and pause
button. This helps the editor to stop or
start playing the footage as and when
required. Besides this, source monitor
also has an option of an insert icon
which helps us to insert a video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is a comma symbol. Now, let's
move on to the overwrite icon, which
overwrites the video clip exactly on the
spot where the playhead is placed on the
timeline. The shortcut for this is the
full stop symbol. Next, we have the
export frame icon, which can be used for
exporting a single frame from the video
clip. Place your playhead on the desired
frame in the video clip. Click on the
export frame button. A dialogue box will
be opened. Now enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between readon and read
write files for project panels. If it's
toggled for read only, you cannot import
or use these files. All the files will
be read only. Also on the right side, we
can see buttons for list view.
icon view and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac. You can now see the
export window. Here name your file
according to your requirement. I have
named it sample. Now click on browse and
select your preferred location where you
want to save your file.
In the preset drop-down menu, select
preset according to your requirement.
For now, I'm selecting match source
adaptive high bit rate. In format,
select H.264 codec for high quality MP4
video and low file size. In the
video, select render at maximum depth
and use maximum render quality. After
that just click on export on the right
bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used etc. In the
description below you can find a link to
Invato Elements which offers millions of
incredible resources to assist you on
your video creation
journey. Now let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting.
Now go to the file menu then export and
click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom, click on send
to media encoder. Auto media encoder
will be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right, click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with Auto
Premiere Pro. It has options to create a
new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning inapp tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces, import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
rightclick on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invado Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
and-out points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2, and V3 while the audio layers
are named
A1,
A2, and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting, which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence
B. Now we have a snap and timeline
button. Shortcut for snap and timeline
is S. It allows us to magnetically snap
one edit to the end of another. For
example, if it is off, whenever we drag
clips on the timeline, there's a
possibility that the clips will not
attach to each other. There will be gaps
in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given
them. Show video thumbnails. It provides
a reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher formats. Composite preview
during trim. It simply shows you a
composite of both the frame being
trimmed and the frame of the current
clip on the timeline. You can turn this
off to see a full screen preview of only
the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So you can set playback resolution
to a lower value. For example, 1/4 of
the actual resolution for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to
full. In the description below, you can
find a link to Invato Elements, which
offers millions of incredible resources
to assist you on your video creation
journey.
We also have a marker option on the
bottom of the source panel or you can
simply press M on the keyboard. We can
add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected markers.
Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in and out points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol.
Now, let's move on to the overwrite
icon, which overwrites the video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is the full stop
symbol. Next, we have the export frame
icon, which can be used for exporting a
single frame from the video clip. Place
your playhead on the desired frame in
the video clip. Click on the export
frame button. A dialogue box will be
opened. Now enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between read only and
read write files for project panels. If
it's toggled for read only, you cannot
import or use these files. All the files
will be read only. Also on the right
side, we can see buttons for list view.
icon view and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right. To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac. You can now see the export
window. Here name your file according to
your requirement. I have named it
sample. Now click on browse and select
your preferred location where you want
to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select H.264 codec for high
quality MP4 video and low file size. In
the video, select render at maximum
depth and use maximum render quality.
After that, just click on export on the
right bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used, etc. In the
description below, you can find a link
to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting.
Now go to the file menu then export and
click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with Auto
Premiere Pro. It has options to create a
new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plust on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adob
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
rightclick on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the
in-n-out points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool to create vertical text on the
project
window. Firstly, we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor, allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we've got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group, or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the link
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and video. Then we
have a marker icon which adds markers on
the timeline wherever the playhead is
placed. Markers can be used for
commenting about selected parts of the
timeline, defining chapters in the
project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
double click the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given them.
Show video thumbnails. It provides a
reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher formats. Composite preview
during trim. It simply shows you a
composite of both the frame being
trimmed and the frame of the current
clip on the timeline. You can turn this
off to see a full screen preview of only
the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So you can set playback resolution
to a lower value. For example, 1/4 of
the actual resolution for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to
full. In the description below, you can
find a link to Invado Elements, which
offers millions of incredible resources
to assist you on your video creation
journey.
We also have a marker option on the
bottom of the source panel or you can
simply press M on the keyboard. We can
add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected markers.
Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol.
Now, let's move on to the overwrite
icon, which overwrites the video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is the full stop symbol. Next,
we have the export frame icon, which can
be used for exporting a single frame
from the video clip. Place your playhead
on the desired frame in the video clip.
Click on the export frame button. A
dialogue box will be opened. Now enter a
name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between readon and read
write files for project panels. If it's
toggled for read only, you cannot import
or use these files. All the files will
be read only. Also on the right side, we
can see buttons for list view. icon view
and free form view. If you have a list
view toggled on, all the files present
in the project panel will be in the
listed view. If the icon view is toggled
on, all the files in the project panel
will be in the icon view. If the free
form view is toggled on, all the files
will be in free form view. In the
description below, you can find a link
to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac. You can now see the export
window. Here name your file according to
your requirement. I have named it
sample. Now click on browse and select
your preferred location where you want
to save your file.
In the preset drop-down menu, select
preset according to your requirement.
For now, I'm selecting match source
adaptive high bit rate. In format,
select H.264 codec for high quality MP4
video and low file size. In the video,
select render at maximum depth and use
maximum render quality. After that, just
click on export on the right bottom and
your video will start rendering. The
time depends on the video resolution,
effects used, etc. In the description
below, you can find a link to Invato
Elements, which offers millions of
incredible resources to assist you on
your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting.
Now go to the file menu then export and
click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with
Adobo Premiere Pro. It has options to
create a new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now, we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2, and V3 while the audio layers
are named
A1,
A2, and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting, which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given them.
Show video thumbnails. It provides a
reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher
formats. Composite preview during trim.
It simply shows you a composite of both
the frame being trimmed and the frame of
the current clip on the timeline. You
can turn this off to see a full screen
preview of only the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons.
If we only click and drag the video only
icon, the video will be dragged to the
timeline. And similarly, if we click and
drag the audio only icon, then only the
audio will be dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback and set the pause resolution to
full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow keys.
Source monitor also has a play and pause
button. This helps the editor to stop or
start playing the footage as and when
required. Besides this, source monitor
also has an option of an insert icon
which helps us to insert a video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is a comma symbol. Now, let's
move on to the overwrite icon, which
overwrites the video clip exactly on the
spot where the playhead is placed on the
timeline. The shortcut for this is the
full stop symbol. Next, we have the
export frame icon, which can be used for
exporting a single frame from the video
clip. Place your playhead on the desired
frame in the video clip. Click on the
export frame button. A dialogue box will
be opened. Now enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between readon and read
write files for project panels. If it's
toggled for read only, you cannot import
or use these files. All the files will
be read only. Also on the right side, we
can see buttons for list view.
icon view and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac. You can now see the
export window. Here name your file
according to your requirement. I have
named it sample. Now click on browse and
select your preferred location where you
want to save your file.
In the preset drop-down menu, select
preset according to your requirement.
For now, I'm selecting match source
adaptive high bit rate. In format,
select H.264 codec for high quality MP4
video and low file size. In the
video, select render at maximum depth
and use maximum render quality. After
that just click on export on the right
bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used etc. In the
description below you can find a link to
Invato Elements which offers millions of
incredible resources to assist you on
your video creation
journey. Now let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting.
Now go to the file menu then export and
click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and
format. Now at the right bottom click on
send to media encoder. Auto media
encoder will be opened. Here you can
change the format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with Auto
Premiere Pro. It has options to create a
new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning inapp tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews. Libraries. The library
workspace allows you to add and share
media and assets between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces, import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1.
V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we've got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence
B. Now we have a snap and timeline
button. Shortcut for snap and timeline
is S. It allows us to magnetically snap
one edit to the end of another. For
example, if it is off, whenever we drag
clips on the timeline, there's a
possibility that the clips will not
attach to each other. There will be gaps
in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the linked selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given
them. Show video thumbnails. It provides
a reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher formats. Composite preview
during trim. It simply shows you a
composite of both the frame being
trimmed and the frame of the current
clip on the timeline. You can turn this
off to see a full screen preview of only
the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video
only and audio only icons. If we only
click and drag the video only icon, the
video will be dragged to the timeline.
And similarly, if we click and drag the
audio only icon, then only the audio
will be dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback and set the pause resolution to
full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in and out points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow keys.
Source monitor also has a play and pause
button. This helps the editor to stop or
start playing the footage as and when
required. Besides this, source monitor
also has an option of an insert icon
which helps us to insert a video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is a comma symbol. Now, let's
move on to the overwrite icon, which
overwrites the video clip exactly on the
spot where the playhead is placed on the
timeline. The shortcut for this is the
full stop symbol. Next, we have the
export frame icon, which can be used for
exporting a single frame from the video
clip. Place your playhead on the desired
frame in the video clip. Click on the
export frame button. A dialogue box will
be opened. Now enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between read only and
read write files for project panels. If
it's toggled for read only, you cannot
import or use these files. All the files
will be read only. Also on the right
side, we can see buttons for list view.
icon view and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment layers, color
mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac. You can now see the export
window. Here name your file according to
your requirement. I have named it
sample. Now click on browse and select
your preferred location where you want
to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select H.264 codec for high
quality MP4 video and low file size. In
the video, select render at maximum
depth and use maximum render quality.
After that just click on export on the
right bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used etc. In the
description below you can find a link to
Invato Elements which offers millions of
incredible resources to assist you on
your video creation
journey. Now let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting. Now go to the file menu
then export and click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with
Adobo Premiere Pro. It has options to
create a new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical
videos. Then we have the learning
workspace which can be used while
learning inapp tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews. Libraries. The library
workspace allows you to add and share
media and assets between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Metaloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, for video tracks and audio
tracks. For overwriting clips, use the
keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given
them. Show video thumbnails. It provides
a reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher
formats. Composite preview during trim.
It simply shows you a composite of both
the frame being trimmed and the frame of
the current clip on the timeline. You
can turn this off to see a full screen
preview of only the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O.
Inpoint and outpoint helps the editor to
select a certain portion of the video
clip before dragging it to the timeline.
Besides in andout points, we have a go
to in and go to out icon which jumps to
the in point of the clip and out point
of the video clip. Or you can simply
press shift + i for go to in and shift +
o for go to out on the keyboard. Then we
also have the option to move between
frames which is back one frame icon and
the forward one frame icon. These icons
allow us to move frame by frame
backwards and forwards. The keyboard
shortcut for this is the left arrow and
right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol. Now
let's move on to the overwrite icon
which overwrites the video clip exactly
on the spot where the playhead is placed
on the timeline. The shortcut for this
is the full stop symbol.
Next, we have the export frame icon,
which can be used for exporting a single
frame from the video clip. Place your
playhead on the desired frame in the
video clip. Click on the export frame
button. A dialogue box will be opened.
Now, enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between read only and
read write files for project panels. If
it's toggled for read only, you cannot
import or use these files. All the files
will be read only. Also on the right
side, we can see buttons for list view,
icon view, and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment layers, color
mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac. You can now see the
export window. Here name your file
according to your requirement. I have
named it sample. Now click on browse and
select your preferred location where you
want to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select H.264 codec for high
quality MP4 video and low file size. In
the
video, select render at maximum depth
and use maximum render quality. After
that, just click on export on the right
bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used, etc. In the
description below, you can find a link
to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting. Now go to the file menu
then export and click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with Auto
Premiere Pro. It has options to create a
new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces, import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
rightclick on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invado Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
and-out points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2, and V3 while the audio layers
are named
A1,
A2, and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting, which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position by clicking on the icon.
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence
B. Now we have a snap and timeline
button. Shortcut for snap and timeline
is S. It allows us to magnetically snap
one edit to the end of another. For
example, if it is off, whenever we drag
clips on the timeline, there's a
possibility that the clips will not
attach to each other. There will be gaps
in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given
them. Show video thumbnails. It provides
a reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher formats. Composite preview
during trim. It simply shows you a
composite of both the frame being
trimmed and the frame of the current
clip on the timeline. You can turn this
off to see a full screen preview of only
the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So you can set playback resolution
to a lower value. For example, 1/4 of
the actual resolution for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to
full. In the description below, you can
find a link to Invato Elements, which
offers millions of incredible resources
to assist you on your video creation
journey.
We also have a marker option on the
bottom of the source panel or you can
simply press M on the keyboard. We can
add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected markers.
Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in and out points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol.
Now, let's move on to the overwrite
icon, which overwrites the video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is the full stop
symbol. Next, we have the export frame
icon, which can be used for exporting a
single frame from the video clip. Place
your playhead on the desired frame in
the video clip. Click on the export
frame button. A dialogue box will be
opened. Now enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between read only and
read write files for project panels. If
it's toggled for read only, you cannot
import or use these files. All the files
will be read only. Also on the right
side, we can see buttons for list view.
icon view and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right. To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac. You can now see the export
window. Here name your file according to
your requirement. I have named it
sample. Now click on browse and select
your preferred location where you want
to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select H.264 codec for high
quality MP4 video and low file size. In
the video, select render at maximum
depth and use maximum render quality.
After that, just click on export on the
right bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used, etc. In the
description below, you can find a link
to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting.
Now go to the file menu then export and
click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with Adob
Premiere Pro. It has options to create a
new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plust on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
rightclick on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor, allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way,
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline. Firstly, we have source
patching for inserts and overwrites.
Source patching in Premiere Pro allows
you to control which tracks in your
timeline are affected when you add or
replace a clip from the source monitor.
It ensures that the selected clip goes
exactly where you want it in the
timeline. It's especially useful for
projects with many video and audio
tracks, giving you precise control over
where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio
layers. Next, we have toggle track lock
for the audio and the video layers. Each
layer comes with its own toggle lock.
When a layer is locked, we are unable to
modify or edit it. For example, let's
lock the V1 layer. Now, we can't even
select the clips on layer V1.
Now let's discuss the timeline's video
and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2, and V3. While the audio layers
are named
A1,
A2, and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now, let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now, I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the link
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given them.
Show video thumbnails. It provides a
reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher
formats. Composite preview during trim.
It simply shows you a composite of both
the frame being trimmed and the frame of
the current clip on the timeline. You
can turn this off to see a full screen
preview of only the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow keys.
Source monitor also has a play and pause
button. This helps the editor to stop or
start playing the footage as and when
required. Besides this, source monitor
also has an option of an insert icon
which helps us to insert a video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is a comma symbol. Now, let's
move on to the overwrite icon, which
overwrites the video clip exactly on the
spot where the playhead is placed on the
timeline. The shortcut for this is the
full stop symbol. Next, we have the
export frame icon, which can be used for
exporting a single frame from the video
clip. Place your playhead on the desired
frame in the video clip. Click on the
export frame button. A dialogue box will
be opened. Now enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between readon and read
write files for project panels. If it's
toggled for read only, you cannot import
or use these files. All the files will
be read only. Also on the right side, we
can see buttons for list view.
icon view and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus m on Mac. You can now see the
export window. Here name your file
according to your requirement. I have
named it sample. Now click on browse and
select your preferred location where you
want to save your file.
In the preset drop-down menu, select
preset according to your requirement.
For now, I'm selecting match source
adaptive high bit rate. In format,
select H.264 codec for high quality MP4
video and low file size. In the
video, select render at maximum depth
and use maximum render quality. After
that, just click on export on the right
bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used, etc. In the
description below, you can find a link
to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting.
Now go to the file menu then export and
click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.

[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with
Adobo Premiere Pro. It has options to
create a new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical
videos. Then we have the learning
workspace which can be used while
learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews. Libraries. The library
workspace allows you to add and share
media and assets between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Metaloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window
workspaces. Edit workspaces. The edit
workspaces dialogue will open where you
can reorder workspaces, hide them or
delete custom workspaces. Also, we can
dock, group or float panels in Adobe
Premiere Pro. We can dock panels
together, move them into or out of
groups, and undock them so they float
above the application window. Docking
zones exist along the edges of a panel,
group, or window. Docking a panel places
it near the existing group, resizing all
groups to accommodate the new panel. For
example, if I want the effect controls
panel anywhere else, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag it to another dock. Now we can see
there are multiple places at the edge of
this panel. Simply go to the edge where
you want to add the effect controls and
release the mouse button. Your effect
controls panel will be docked there.
Grouping zones exist in the middle of a
panel or group along the tab area of the
panel. Dropping a panel on a grouping
zone stacks it with other panels. For
example, I will select the effect
controls panel from the top and drag and
drop it in the middle of the program
monitor. Now you can see we have the
program monitor and effect controls in a
group. If the panel you want to dock or
group is not visible, choose it from the
window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, for video tracks and audio
tracks. For overwriting clips, use the
keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2, and V3 while the audio layers
are named
A1,
A2, and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting, which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we've got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the linked selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given
them. Show video thumbnails. It provides
a reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher
formats. Composite preview during trim.
It simply shows you a composite of both
the frame being trimmed and the frame of
the current clip on the timeline. You
can turn this off to see a full screen
preview of only the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback and set the pause resolution to
full. In the description below, you can
find a link to Invado Elements, which
offers millions of incredible resources
to assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O.
Inpoint and outpoint helps the editor to
select a certain portion of the video
clip before dragging it to the timeline.
Besides in andout points, we have a go
to in and go to out icon which jumps to
the in point of the clip and out point
of the video clip. Or you can simply
press shift + i for go to in and shift +
o for go to out on the keyboard. Then we
also have the option to move between
frames which is back one frame icon and
the forward one frame icon. These icons
allow us to move frame by frame
backwards and forwards. The keyboard
shortcut for this is the left arrow and
right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol. Now
let's move on to the overwrite icon
which overwrites the video clip exactly
on the spot where the playhead is placed
on the timeline. The shortcut for this
is the full stop symbol. Next, we have
the export frame icon, which can be used
for exporting a single frame from the
video clip. Place your playhead on the
desired frame in the video clip. Click
on the export frame button. A dialogue
box will be opened. Now, enter a name
for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips.
At the bottom left of the project panel,
there is a toggle button to switch
between read only and read write files
for project panels. If it's toggled for
read only, you cannot import or use
these files. All the files will be read
only. Also on the right side, we can see
buttons for list view,
icon view, and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment layers, color
mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export.
Go to the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac. You can now see the
export window. Here name your file
according to your requirement. I have
named it sample. Now click on browse and
select your preferred location where you
want to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select H.264 codec for high
quality MP4 video and low file size. In
the
video, select render at maximum depth
and use maximum render quality. After
that, just click on export on the right
bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used, etc. In the
description below, you can find a link
to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting.
Now go to the file menu then export and
click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom, click on send
to media encoder. Auto media encoder
will be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right, click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.

[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with Auto
Premiere Pro. It has options to create a
new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning inapp tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews. Libraries. The library
workspace allows you to add and share
media and assets between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Metaloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces, import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1.
V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence
B. Now we have a snap and timeline
button. Shortcut for snap and timeline
is S. It allows us to magnetically snap
one edit to the end of another. For
example, if it is off, whenever we drag
clips on the timeline, there's a
possibility that the clips will not
attach to each other. There will be gaps
in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the linked selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given
them. Show video thumbnails. It provides
a reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher formats. Composite preview
during trim. It simply shows you a
composite of both the frame being
trimmed and the frame of the current
clip on the timeline. You can turn this
off to see a full screen preview of only
the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video
only and audio only icons. If we only
click and drag the video only icon, the
video will be dragged to the timeline.
And similarly, if we click and drag the
audio only icon, then only the audio
will be dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback and set the pause resolution to
full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O.
Inpoint and outpoint helps the editor to
select a certain portion of the video
clip before dragging it to the timeline.
Besides in andout points, we have a go
to in and go to out icon which jumps to
the inpoint of the clip and out point of
the video clip. Or you can simply press
shift + i for go to in and shift + o for
go to out on the keyboard. Then we also
have the option to move between frames
which is back one frame icon and the
forward one frame icon. These icons
allow us to move frame by frame
backwards and forwards. The keyboard
shortcut for this is the left arrow and
right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol. Now
let's move on to the overwrite icon
which overwrites the video clip exactly
on the spot where the playhead is placed
on the timeline. The shortcut for this
is the full stop symbol.
Next, we have the export frame icon,
which can be used for exporting a single
frame from the video clip. Place your
playhead on the desired frame in the
video clip. Click on the export frame
button. A dialogue box will be opened.
Now, enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between read only and
read write files for project panels. If
it's toggled for read only, you cannot
import or use these files. All the files
will be read only. Also on the right
side, we can see buttons for list view,
icon view, and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment layers, color
mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac. You can now see the export
window. Here name your file according to
your requirement. I have named it
sample. Now click on browse and select
your preferred location where you want
to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select H.264 codec for high
quality MP4 video and low file size. In
the video, select render at maximum
depth and use maximum render quality.
After that just click on export on the
right bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used etc. In the
description below you can find a link to
Invato Elements which offers millions of
incredible resources to assist you on
your video creation
journey. Now let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting. Now go to the file menu
then export and click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with
Adobo Premiere Pro. It has options to
create a new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical
videos. Then we have the learning
workspace which can be used while
learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews. Libraries.
The library workspace allows you to add
and share media and assets between
various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Metaloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group.
Resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and will select
this clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the right of my click. The next
one is the track selection backward
tool. It is used to select all the clips
to the left of the cursor in a sequence.
The keyboard shortcut for this is shift
+ a. I have taken the track selection
tool and will select this clip. This
tool will select all the clips to the
left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command plus K
on the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, for video tracks and audio
tracks. For overwriting clips, use the
keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the linked selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given them.
Show video thumbnails. It provides a
reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher
formats. Composite preview during trim.
It simply shows you a composite of both
the frame being trimmed and the frame of
the current clip on the timeline. You
can turn this off to see a full screen
preview of only the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback and set the pause resolution to
full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O.
Inpoint and outpoint helps the editor to
select a certain portion of the video
clip before driving it to the timeline.
Besides in andout points, we have a go
to in and go to out icon which jumps to
the in point of the clip and out point
of the video clip. Or you can simply
press shift + i for go to in and shift +
o for go to out on the keyboard. Then we
also have the option to move between
frames which is back one frame icon and
the forward one frame icon. These icons
allow us to move frame by frame
backwards and forwards. The keyboard
shortcut for this is the left arrow and
right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol. Now
let's move on to the overwrite icon
which overwrites the video clip exactly
on the spot where the playhead is placed
on the timeline. The shortcut for this
is the full stop symbol.
Next, we have the export frame icon,
which can be used for exporting a single
frame from the video clip. Place your
playhead on the desired frame in the
video clip. Click on the export frame
button. A dialogue box will be opened.
Now, enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips.
At the bottom left of the project panel,
there is a toggle button to switch
between read only and read write files
for project panels. If it's toggled for
read only, you cannot import or use
these files. All the files will be read
only. Also on the right side, we can see
buttons for list view,
icon view, and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac. You can now see the
export window. Here name your file
according to your requirement. I have
named it sample. Now click on browse and
select your preferred location where you
want to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select H.264 codec for high
quality MP4 video and low file size. In
the
video, select render at maximum depth
and use maximum render quality. After
that, just click on export on the right
bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used, etc. In the
description below, you can find a link
to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting. Now go to the file menu
then export and click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom, click on send
to media encoder. Auto media encoder
will be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right, click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with
Adobo Premiere Pro. It has options to
create a new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning inapp tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews. Libraries. The library
workspace allows you to add and share
media and assets between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Metaloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we've got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the linked selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given
them. Show video thumbnails. It provides
a reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher
formats. Composite preview during trim.
It simply shows you a composite of both
the frame being trimmed and the frame of
the current clip on the timeline. You
can turn this off to see a full screen
preview of only the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O.
Inpoint and outpoint helps the editor to
select a certain portion of the video
clip before dragging it to the timeline.
Besides in andout points, we have a go
to in and go to out icon which jumps to
the in point of the clip and out point
of the video clip. Or you can simply
press shift + i for go to in and shift
plus o for go to out on the keyboard.
Then we also have the option to move
between frames which is back one frame
icon and the forward one frame icon.
These icons allow us to move frame by
frame backwards and forwards. The
keyboard shortcut for this is the left
arrow and right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol. Now
let's move on to the overwrite icon
which overwrites the video clip exactly
on the spot where the playhead is placed
on the timeline. The shortcut for this
is the full stop symbol.
Next, we have the export frame icon,
which can be used for exporting a single
frame from the video clip. Place your
playhead on the desired frame in the
video clip. Click on the export frame
button. A dialogue box will be opened.
Now, enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between read only and
read write files for project panels. If
it's toggled for read only, you cannot
import or use these files. All the files
will be read only. Also on the right
side, we can see buttons for list view,
icon view, and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment layers, color
mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac. You can now see the
export window. Here name your file
according to your requirement. I have
named it sample. Now click on browse and
select your preferred location where you
want to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select
H.264 codec for high quality MP4 video
and low file size. In the video, select
render at maximum depth and use maximum
render quality. After that, just click
on export on the right bottom and your
video will start rendering. The time
depends on the video resolution, effects
used, etc. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invado Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting. Now go to the file menu
then export and click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom, click on send
to media encoder. Auto media encoder
will be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right, click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with
Adobo Premiere Pro. It has options to
create a new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning inapp tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews. Libraries. The library
workspace allows you to add and share
media and assets between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Metaloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut comma for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we've got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given
them. Show video thumbnails. It provides
a reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher
formats. Composite preview during trim.
It simply shows you a composite of both
the frame being trimmed and the frame of
the current clip on the timeline. You
can turn this off to see a full screen
preview of only the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O.
Inpoint and outpoint helps the editor to
select a certain portion of the video
clip before dragging it to the timeline.
Besides in andout points, we have a go
to in and go to out icon which jumps to
the in point of the clip and out point
of the video clip. Or you can simply
press shift + i for go to in and shift +
o for go to out on the keyboard. Then we
also have the option to move between
frames which is back one frame icon and
the forward one frame icon. These icons
allow us to move frame by frame
backwards and forwards. The keyboard
shortcut for this is the left arrow and
right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol. Now
let's move on to the overwrite icon
which overwrites the video clip exactly
on the spot where the playhead is placed
on the timeline. The shortcut for this
is the full stop symbol.
Next, we have the export frame icon,
which can be used for exporting a single
frame from the video clip. Place your
playhead on the desired frame in the
video clip. Click on the export frame
button. A dialogue box will be opened.
Now, enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between read only and
read write files for project panels. If
it's toggled for read only, you cannot
import or use these files. All the files
will be read only. Also on the right
side, we can see buttons for list view,
icon view, and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment layers, color
mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac. You can now see the
export window. Here name your file
according to your requirement. I have
named it sample. Now click on browse and
select your preferred location where you
want to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select
H.264 codec for high quality MP4 video
and low file size. In the video, select
render at maximum depth and use maximum
render quality. After that, just click
on export on the right bottom and your
video will start rendering. The time
depends on the video resolution, effects
used, etc. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invado Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting. Now go to the file menu
then export and click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with
Adobo Premiere Pro. It has options to
create a new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Metaloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group.
Resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and will select
this clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the right of my click. The next
one is the track selection backward
tool. It is used to select all the clips
to the left of the cursor in a sequence.
The keyboard shortcut for this is shift
+ a. I have taken the track selection
tool and will select this clip. This
tool will select all the clips to the
left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, for video tracks and audio
tracks. For overwriting clips, use the
keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given them.
Show video thumbnails. It provides a
reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher
formats. Composite preview during trim.
It simply shows you a composite of both
the frame being trimmed and the frame of
the current clip on the timeline. You
can turn this off to see a full screen
preview of only the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow keys.
Source monitor also has a play and pause
button. This helps the editor to stop or
start playing the footage as and when
required. Besides this, source monitor
also has an option of an insert icon
which helps us to insert a video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is a comma symbol. Now, let's
move on to the overwrite icon, which
overwrites the video clip exactly on the
spot where the playhead is placed on the
timeline. The shortcut for this is the
full stop symbol. Next, we have the
export frame icon, which can be used for
exporting a single frame from the video
clip. Place your playhead on the desired
frame in the video clip. Click on the
export frame button. A dialogue box will
be opened. Now enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between readon and read
write files for project panels. If it's
toggled for read only, you cannot import
or use these files. All the files will
be read only. Also on the right side, we
can see buttons for list view.
icon view and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac. You can now see the
export window. Here name your file
according to your requirement. I have
named it sample. Now click on browse and
select your preferred location where you
want to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select H.264 codec for high
quality MP4 video and low file size. In
the
video, select render at maximum depth
and use maximum render quality. After
that, just click on export on the right
bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used, etc. In the
description below, you can find a link
to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting. Now go to the file menu
then export and click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom, click on send
to media encoder. Auto media encoder
will be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right, click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with Auto
Premiere Pro. It has options to create a
new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning inapp tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews. Libraries. The library
workspace allows you to add and share
media and assets between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces, import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
right click on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1.
V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position by clicking on the icon.
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence
B. Now we have a snap and timeline
button. Shortcut for snap and timeline
is S. It allows us to magnetically snap
one edit to the end of another. For
example, if it is off, whenever we drag
clips on the timeline, there's a
possibility that the clips will not
attach to each other. There will be gaps
in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the length
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given
them. Show video thumbnails. It provides
a reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher formats. Composite preview
during trim. It simply shows you a
composite of both the frame being
trimmed and the frame of the current
clip on the timeline. You can turn this
off to see a full screen preview of only
the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video
only and audio only icons. If we only
click and drag the video only icon, the
video will be dragged to the timeline.
And similarly, if we click and drag the
audio only icon, then only the audio
will be dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback and set the pause resolution to
full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O.
Inpoint and outpoint helps the editor to
select a certain portion of the video
clip before dragging it to the timeline.
Besides in andout points, we have a go
to in and go to out icon which jumps to
the inpoint of the clip and out point of
the video clip. Or you can simply press
shift + i for go to in and shift + o for
go to out on the keyboard. Then we also
have the option to move between frames
which is back one frame icon and the
forward one frame icon. These icons
allow us to move frame by frame
backwards and forwards. The keyboard
shortcut for this is the left arrow and
right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol. Now
let's move on to the overwrite icon
which overwrites the video clip exactly
on the spot where the playhead is placed
on the timeline. The shortcut for this
is the full stop symbol.
Next, we have the export frame icon,
which can be used for exporting a single
frame from the video clip. Place your
playhead on the desired frame in the
video clip. Click on the export frame
button. A dialogue box will be opened.
Now, enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between read only and
read write files for project panels. If
it's toggled for read only, you cannot
import or use these files. All the files
will be read only. Also on the right
side, we can see buttons for list view,
icon view, and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment layers, color
mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac. You can now see the export
window. Here name your file according to
your requirement. I have named it
sample. Now click on browse and select
your preferred location where you want
to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select H.264 codec for high
quality MP4 video and low file size. In
the video, select render at maximum
depth and use maximum render quality.
After that just click on export on the
right bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used, etc. In the
description below, you can find a link
to Invato Elements which offers millions
of incredible resources to assist you on
your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting. Now go to the file menu
then export and click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with Auto
Premiere Pro. It has options to create a
new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
rightclick on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invado Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2, and V3 while the audio layers
are named
A1,
A2, and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting, which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence
B. Now we have a snap and timeline
button. Shortcut for snap and timeline
is S. It allows us to magnetically snap
one edit to the end of another. For
example, if it is off, whenever we drag
clips on the timeline, there's a
possibility that the clips will not
attach to each other. There will be gaps
in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the link
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given them.
Show video thumbnails. It provides a
reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher formats. Composite preview
during trim. It simply shows you a
composite of both the frame being
trimmed and the frame of the current
clip on the timeline. You can turn this
off to see a full screen preview of only
the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So you can set playback resolution
to a lower value. For example, 1/4 of
the actual resolution for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to
full. In the description below, you can
find a link to Invado Elements, which
offers millions of incredible resources
to assist you on your video creation
journey.
We also have a marker option on the
bottom of the source panel or you can
simply press M on the keyboard. We can
add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected markers.
Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in and out points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol.
Now, let's move on to the overwrite
icon, which overwrites the video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is the full stop
symbol. Next, we have the export frame
icon, which can be used for exporting a
single frame from the video clip. Place
your playhead on the desired frame in
the video clip. Click on the export
frame button. A dialogue box will be
opened. Now enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between read only and
read write files for project panels. If
it's toggled for read only, you cannot
import or use these files. All the files
will be read only. Also on the right
side, we can see buttons for list view.
icon view and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac. You can now see the export
window. Here name your file according to
your requirement. I have named it
sample. Now click on browse and select
your preferred location where you want
to save your
file. In the preset drop-down menu,
select preset according to your
requirement. For now, I'm selecting
match source adaptive high bit rate. In
format, select H.264 codec for high
quality MP4 video and low file size. In
the video, select render at maximum
depth and use maximum render quality.
After that just click on export on the
right bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used etc. In the
description below you can find a link to
Invato Elements which offers millions of
incredible resources to assist you on
your video creation
journey. Now let's see how to export
video using an adult media encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting.
Now go to the file menu then export and
click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with
Adobo Premiere Pro. It has options to
create a new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plust on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adob
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces. The edit workspaces
dialogue will open where you can reorder
workspaces, hide them or delete custom
workspaces. Also, we can dock, group or
float panels in Adobe Premiere Pro. We
can dock panels together, move them into
or out of groups, and undock them so
they float above the application window.
Docking zones exist along the edges of a
panel, group, or window. Docking a panel
places it near the existing group,
resizing all groups to accommodate the
new panel. For example, if I want the
effect controls panel anywhere else, I
will select the effect controls panel
from the top and drag it to another
dock. Now we can see there are multiple
places at the edge of this panel. Simply
go to the edge where you want to add the
effect controls and release the mouse
button. Your effect controls panel will
be docked there. Grouping zones exist in
the middle of a panel or group along the
tab area of the panel. Dropping a panel
on a grouping zone stacks it with other
panels. For example, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag and drop it in the middle of the
program monitor. Now you can see we have
the program monitor and effect controls
in a group. If the panel you want to
dock or group is not visible, choose it
from the window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
rightclick on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invado Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the
in-n-out points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline.
Firstly, we have source patching for
inserts and overwrites. Source patching
in Premiere Pro allows you to control
which tracks in your timeline are
affected when you add or replace a clip
from the source monitor. It ensures that
the selected clip goes exactly where you
want it in the timeline. It's especially
useful for projects with many video and
audio tracks, giving you precise control
over where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio layers.
Next, we have toggle track lock for the
audio and the video layers. Each layer
comes with its own toggle lock. When a
layer is locked, we are unable to modify
or edit it. For example, let's lock the
V1 layer. Now, we can't even select the
clips on layer
V1. Now, let's discuss the timeline's
video and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2 and V3 while the audio layers are
named
A1,
A2 and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we've got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now, click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group, or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the link
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and video. Then we
have a marker icon which adds markers on
the timeline wherever the playhead is
placed. Markers can be used for
commenting about selected parts of the
timeline, defining chapters in the
project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
double click the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given them.
Show video thumbnails. It provides a
reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher formats. Composite preview
during trim. It simply shows you a
composite of both the frame being
trimmed and the frame of the current
clip on the timeline. You can turn this
off to see a full screen preview of only
the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So you can set playback resolution
to a lower value. For example, 1/4 of
the actual resolution for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to
full. In the description below, you can
find a link to Invado Elements, which
offers millions of incredible resources
to assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected markers.
Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in and out points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon, which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames, which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow
keys. Source monitor also has a play and
pause button. This helps the editor to
stop or start playing the footage as and
when required. Besides this, source
monitor also has an option of an insert
icon which helps us to insert a video
clip exactly on the spot where the
playhead is placed on the timeline. The
shortcut for this is a comma symbol.
Now, let's move on to the overwrite
icon, which overwrites the video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is the full stop symbol. Next,
we have the export frame icon, which can
be used for exporting a single frame
from the video clip. Place your playhead
on the desired frame in the video clip.
Click on the export frame button. A
dialogue box will be opened. Now enter a
name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between readon and read
write files for project panels. If it's
toggled for read only, you cannot import
or use these files. All the files will
be read only. Also on the right side we
can see buttons for list view, icon view
and free form view. If you have a list
view toggled on, all the files present
in the project panel will be in the
listed view. If the icon view is toggled
on, all the files in the project panel
will be in the icon view. If the free
form view is toggled on, all the files
will be in free form view.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right. To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac. You can now see the export
window. Here name your file according to
your requirement. I have named it
sample. Now click on browse and select
your preferred location where you want
to save your file.
In the preset drop-down menu, select
preset according to your requirement.
For now, I'm selecting match source
adaptive high bit rate. In format,
select H.264 codec for high quality MP4
video and low file size. In the video,
select render at maximum depth and use
maximum render quality. After that, just
click on export on the right bottom and
your video will start rendering. The
time depends on the video resolution,
effects used, etc. In the description
below, you can find a link to Invato
Elements, which offers millions of
incredible resources to assist you on
your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an adult media encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting. Now go to the file menu
then export and click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download
project files or any of the assets used
in creating this video, you can find the
link in the description below. And
that's it. In this tutorial, you've
learned the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Kindly share your
experience in the comment section below.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you
soon in the next video tutorial.
Hey guys, welcome to our Premiere Pro
beginners tutorial. In this video, we'll
cover the interface basics, including
the tool panel, timeline, source panel,
project panel, and the process of
exporting videos. Whether you're new to
editing or looking to brush up your
skills, we've got you covered. Let's get
started.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with
Adobo Premiere Pro. It has options to
create a new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical videos. Then we have the
learning workspace which can be used
while learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews.
Libraries. The library workspace allows
you to add and share media and assets
between various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Mataloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window
workspaces. Edit workspaces. The edit
workspaces dialogue will open where you
can reorder workspaces, hide them or
delete custom workspaces. Also, we can
dock, group or float panels in Adobe
Premiere Pro. We can dock panels
together, move them into or out of
groups, and undock them so they float
above the application window. Docking
zones exist along the edges of a panel,
group, or window. Docking a panel places
it near the existing group, resizing all
groups to accommodate the new panel. For
example, if I want the effect controls
panel anywhere else, I will select the
effect controls panel from the top and
drag it to another dock. Now we can see
there are multiple places at the edge of
this panel. Simply go to the edge where
you want to add the effect controls and
release the mouse button. Your effect
controls panel will be docked there.
Grouping zones exist in the middle of a
panel or group along the tab area of the
panel. Dropping a panel on a grouping
zone stacks it with other panels. For
example, I will select the effect
controls panel from the top and drag and
drop it in the middle of the program
monitor. Now you can see we have the
program monitor and effect controls in a
group. If the panel you want to dock or
group is not visible, choose it from the
window
menu. Now let's see how to undock a
panel in a floating window. When we
undock a panel in a floating window, we
can add panels to the window and modify
it compared to the application window.
You can use floating windows to use a
secondary monitor or to create
workspaces. For example, if I want to
undock the effect controls panel, I will
rightclick on the panel menu and select
the undock option. The effect controls
panel will start
floating. Now let's see resizing the
panel groups. When we position the
pointer over dividers between panel
groups, resize icons appear. When you
drag these icons, all groups that share
the divider are resized. For example, if
I want the effect controls panel to be
horizontally small, I will go to the
divider between effect controls and
program monitor and drag it towards the
right to make the effect controls panel
horizontally small. This will also
affect the size of the program monitor,
making it larger
horizontally. Now, let's see how we can
brighten or darken the interface. You
can lower the brightness, especially
when working in a darkened editing suite
or when making color corrections. To
change the brightness on Mac, go to
Premiere
Pro, preferences, then
appearance. And for Windows, go to edit,
preferences, then appearance. In the
appearance panel, adjust the
brightness and intensity of the
highlight color according to your
requirements.
In Premiere Pro, the tools panel is
found on the left side of your workspace
and is packed with useful editing tools.
These tools are meant to help you edit
your videos quickly, smoothly, and
effectively. The first tool in the tool
panel is the selection tool. It is used
for selecting clips, menu items, and
other objects in the user interface. The
keyboard shortcut for the selection tool
is V. Using this selection tool, we can
select clips on the timeline and drag
them wherever we
want. The next one is the track
selection forward tool. It is used to
select all the clips to the right of the
cursor in a sequence. The keyboard
shortcut for this is A. We have taken
the track selection tool and we'll
select this clip. This tool will select
all the clips to the right of my click.
The next one is the track selection
backward tool. It is used to select all
the clips to the left of the cursor in a
sequence. The keyboard shortcut for this
is shift + a. I have taken the track
selection tool and will select this
clip. This tool will select all the
clips to the left of my
click. The next one is the ripple edit
tool. The shortcut for the ripple edit
tool is B. It is used to trim the in or
out point between two clips on the
timeline. The ripple edit tool closes
gaps caused by the edit and preserves
all the edits to the left or right of
the trimmed clip. The next tool is the
rolling edit tool. The shortcut for the
rolling edit tool is N. It is used to
roll the edit point between two clips in
a timeline. The rolling edit tool trims
the inpoint of the one and the outpoint
of the other while leaving the combined
duration of the two clips unchanged. The
next one is the rate stretch tool. The
shortcut for the rate stretch tool is R.
It is used to shorten the clip on the
timeline by speeding up its playback or
to lengthen it by slowing it down. The
rate stretch tool changes speed and
duration but leaves the in andout points
of the clip unchanged.
Then we have a remix tool that helps in
remixing audio. Select the remix tool
and drag the edge of an audio
clip. An essential sound panel will be
opened where you can remix audio clips
using these properties. The next one is
a razor tool. The shortcut for the razor
tool is C. It is used to make one or
more cuts in clips on a timeline. Click
a point in a clip to split it at that
precise
location. Also, you can add cuts by
pressing control + K or command + K on
the
keyboard. In the description below, you
can find a link to Invato Elements,
which offers millions of incredible
resources to assist you on your video
creation
journey. The next one is the slip tool.
The shortcut for the slip tool is Y. It
is used to simultaneously change the in
andout points of a clip in a timeline
while keeping the time span between them
constant. The next one is a slide tool.
The shortcut for the slide tool is U. It
is used to move a clip to the left or
right in a timeline while simultaneously
trimming the two clips that surround it.
The next one is the pen tool. The
shortcut for the pen tool is P. It is
used to set or select key frames or to
adjust connector lines in a timeline.
Drag a connector line vertically to
adjust it. Use control + leftclick or
command plus leftclick on the connector
line to set a key frame. The next tool
is the rectangle tool. It allows you to
create rectangular shapes and you can
modify its properties in the effect
control panel, then shape and then
appearance. You can adjust parameters
such as color, stroke, and shadow.
Following that is the ellipse tool which
is used for creating ellipse
shapes. Lastly, we have the polygon tool
which enables you to create
polygons. The next one is a hand tool.
The shortcut for the hand tool is H. It
is used to move the viewing area of a
timeline to the right or left.
The next one is the zoom tool. The
shortcut for the zoom tool is Z. It is
used to zoom in or zoom out in a
timeline viewing area. Click in the
viewing area to zoom in by one
increment. Alt plus click or option plus
click to zoom out by one
increment. The last one is the type
tool. The shortcut for the type tool is
T. We can use a type tool to create a
text box or type text on the project
window. Then we have a vertical type
tool. To create vertical text on the
project
window, firstly we need to add our
footage to the sequence on the timeline.
Double click on the media file you want
to use. It will open in the source
monitor, allowing you to select specific
parts you want to use in your video. Use
I to set the inpoint and O to set the
outpoint for your selection. This way,
you only use the best parts of your
clips. After trimming your video, drag
it from the source monitor and drop it
onto the video track in the timeline
panel. If your video has audio, it will
automatically link to the video. To
separate them, drag the audio part to a
different audio track. Now, let's
discuss about the options available on
the timeline. Firstly, we have source
patching for inserts and overwrites.
Source patching in Premiere Pro allows
you to control which tracks in your
timeline are affected when you add or
replace a clip from the source monitor.
It ensures that the selected clip goes
exactly where you want it in the
timeline. It's especially useful for
projects with many video and audio
tracks, giving you precise control over
where your new clips should go. To
enable source patching, click the source
patching button for the desired track in
the timeline or use the keyboard
shortcut, comma, for video tracks and
audio tracks. For overwriting clips, use
the keyboard shortcut full stop for both
video and audio tracks. This feature
helps you manage your timeline
effectively when dealing with multiple
video and audio
layers. Next, we have toggle track lock
for the audio and the video layers. Each
layer comes with its own toggle lock.
When a layer is locked, we are unable to
modify or edit it. For example, let's
lock the V1 layer. Now, we can't even
select the clips on layer V1.
Now let's discuss the timeline's video
and audio layers. It's pretty
straightforward. The video layers are
named
V1, V2, and V3. While the audio layers
are named
A1,
A2, and
A3. Then we have a toggle for track
targeting which can be toggled by
clicking on the layer names such as V1
and A1. By default, V1 and A1 are
toggled on for track targeting. If you
want to paste a clip on the V2 layer,
make sure the V2 layer is toggled on and
then simply paste away. The same goes
for audio layers. Then we have toggle
sync lock which is automatically
enabled. It ensures that all tracks
which are toggled on are affected
equally by certain adjustments made to
any track. For example, we have this
clip on V3 with audio attached to the A3
track. If you toggle off the sync lock
for A3 and ripple delete the clip on V2,
you'll see that all tracks except A3 are
affected. Now, let's undo and toggle on
the sync lock for A3. Now, I'm ripple
deleting the clip from V2. You can see
the audio track A3 is also affected by
ripple delete. To keep things organized,
we got an eye icon for toggle track
output. If you disable it, you won't see
the output of that particular layer. For
example, I will toggle off layer
V2. Now you can't see the output for
layer
V2. In audio, we have a mute icon that
mutes the audio
track. Besides mute, we have a solo
track. All the tracks except the solo
track enabled will be muted. Only the
enabled audio track will be played. Then
we have a microphone icon that helps us
to record voice over directly in
Premiere Pro. For example, if you
position the playhead at a specific
point, the recording will start from
that position. By clicking on the icon,
Premiere Pro will start recording voice
over. Now click again to stop recording
and the recorded layer will be added to
your timeline.
You can always adjust the heights of the
layers by simply doubleclicking on that
layer to expand that particular track.
Or else you can hold and drag the lines
between two tracks to expand them. It
can be also done by pressing alt on
Windows or option on Mac and scrolling
the mouse wheel will expand and contract
the layer. Make sure this will affect
the layer on which your cursor will be
placed. So we'll start from the top left
first. We have a sequence time code here
which portrays time from hours, minutes,
seconds, and frames per second. Then we
have the insert and overwrite sequences
as nests or individual clips option.
This option allows you to control how
sequences are inserted or overwritten
when working with nested sequences.
Nested sequences are a powerful
organizational tool in video editing.
They allow you to take a sequence and
treat it as a single clip within another
sequence. This can be incredibly useful
when you want to apply effects,
transitions, or adjustments to multiple
clips as a group or when you need to
create complex compositions and maintain
a structured timeline. For example, if
you have a sequence named as sequence A
within your project and you want to
insert or overwrite it into another
sequence named as sequence B, you can
choose between two options. One, insert
and overwrite as individual clips. If
you select this option, Premiere Pro
will treat the contents of sequence A as
individual clips. When you insert or
overwrite sequence A into sequence B,
each clip within sequence A will be
placed on its own track in sequence B.
This level of control lets you fine-tune
the clips and their arrangement in the
new sequence like a pro. Two, insert and
overwrite as nest. If you choose this
option, Premiere Pro will treat sequence
A as a single nested sequence. When you
insert or overwrite sequence A into
sequence B, the entire contents of
sequence A will be treated as a single
clip and placed on a single track in
sequence B. It's perfect for keeping
things grouped together and preserving
the overall structure of sequence A
within sequence B. Now we have a snap
and timeline button. Shortcut for snap
and timeline is S. It allows us to
magnetically snap one edit to the end of
another. For example, if it is off,
whenever we drag clips on the timeline,
there's a possibility that the clips
will not attach to each other. There
will be gaps in between
clips. Turning the snap and timeline
will make sure there are no gaps while
dragging and dropping the clips on the
timeline. The next one is the link
selection button. The linked selection
button allows you to toggle the
connection between the video and audio
on the timeline. For example, if I
select this clip on the timeline, the
audio will be selected too. Once I turn
off the link selection, I can work
separately with audio and
video. Then we have a marker icon which
adds markers on the timeline wherever
the playhead is placed. Markers can be
used for commenting about selected parts
of the timeline, defining chapters in
the project, and for adding a URL that
provides more information about selected
parts. For example, place your playhead
where you want to add markers on the
timeline. Make sure clips are not
selected and select marker icon or
simply use the M shortcut and a marker
will be added to your timeline. Now
doubleclick the marker to change its
name,
duration, comments, chapter marker, web
link,
etc. Beside the marker, there's an icon
for settings of timeline. Under timeline
settings, the first one is show source
clip name and label, which shows the
names and labels of your clips if you
have given
them. Show video thumbnails. It provides
a reference frame on each individual
clip. Show video key frames. It will
display key frame information straight
on our video clips. If you have a key
frame on
video, show video
names. It will display the names of the
videos. Show audio waveform. It will
show waveforms for the audio used on the
timeline.
Show audio key frames. It will display
audio key frames if you have
them. Show audio name. It will show the
names of the audio on the
timeline. Show clip
markers. It will show markers if you
have marked any on the
timeline. Show duplicate frame markers.
It will help us if any clips or frames
are displayed more than once on the
timeline. Show through edits. It shows a
cut in a clip where there is no change
on either side of the
clip. Show FX badges. It has three types
of badges. The first one is a gray one,
which means there's no change with your
clip. The second one is yellow, which
means you have key frames on your clips.
And the third one is green, which means
you have an actual effect on your clip.
Show proxy badges. When you're using
proxies in your existing project, you'll
see a specific icon displayed on the top
left of your video clips. Adobe Premiere
Pro uses proxies, which are smaller,
lower resolution versions of your
original video files. These proxies help
make the editing process smoother and
more efficient, particularly when
dealing with highresolution footage like
4K or higher
formats. Composite preview during trim.
It simply shows you a composite of both
the frame being trimmed and the frame of
the current clip on the timeline. You
can turn this off to see a full screen
preview of only the frame being
trimmed. Minimize all tracks. It will
minimize all the tracks on the
timeline. Expand all tracks. It will
expand all the tracks on the
timeline. Save presets. This will create
a preset from your current timeline
settings. Manage presets. Here you can
manage your timeline
presets. Customize video header. It
helps us to customize video headers
available on the
timeline. Customize audio header. It
helps us to customize audio headers
available on the
timeline. At last, we have close CC,
which is for captions. This one allows
us to toggle between showing and hiding
captions on the timeline.
The source monitor plays one video clip
at a time and its primary job is to help
the editors prepare the video footage
for
editing. Source monitor contains both
time ruler and controls for
playback. The time code can be seen at
the bottom left of the source monitor
which portrays the duration of the clip.
This duration can vary from hours to
frames per second. Besides the time
code, we have a scaling tool for the
source monitor. This scaling tool helps
the editor to zoom in and zoom out of
the video clips inside the source
monitor. Scaling options are available
from 10% up to
400%. We also have video only and audio
only icons. If we only click and drag
the video only icon, the video will be
dragged to the timeline. And similarly,
if we click and drag the audio only
icon, then only the audio will be
dragged to the
timeline. Now, let's discuss the
playback resolution settings for the
source monitor. Playback resolution
settings allow the user to lower the
resolution of the previews that Premiere
Pro displays in the source monitor.
Lower resolutions are easier to play
back. So, you can set playback
resolution to a lower value. For
example, 1/4 of the actual resolution
for smooth
playback. And set the pause resolution
to full.
In the description below, you can find a
link to Invado Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. We also have a marker option on
the bottom of the source panel, or you
can simply press M on the keyboard. We
can add multiple markers to our footage.
Markers are often used when we need
different portions of the same video
clip. To remove markers, simply
rightclick on the time ruler and choose
either clear marker to remove all
markers or clear selected marker to
remove only the selected
markers. Then we have
inpoint and outpoint icons which add a
pointer wherever the playhead is played
on the timeline. Else you can simply add
in andout points by using the keyboard
shortcuts that is I and O. Inpoint and
outpoint helps the editor to select a
certain portion of the video clip before
dragging it to the timeline. Besides in
andout points, we have a go to in and go
to out icon which jumps to the inpoint
of the clip and out point of the video
clip. Or you can simply press shift + i
for go to in and shift + o for go to out
on the keyboard. Then we also have the
option to move between frames which is
back one frame icon and the forward one
frame icon. These icons allow us to move
frame by frame backwards and forwards.
The keyboard shortcut for this is the
left arrow and right arrow keys.
Source monitor also has a play and pause
button. This helps the editor to stop or
start playing the footage as and when
required. Besides this, source monitor
also has an option of an insert icon
which helps us to insert a video clip
exactly on the spot where the playhead
is placed on the timeline. The shortcut
for this is a comma symbol. Now, let's
move on to the overwrite icon, which
overwrites the video clip exactly on the
spot where the playhead is placed on the
timeline. The shortcut for this is the
full stop symbol. Next, we have the
export frame icon, which can be used for
exporting a single frame from the video
clip. Place your playhead on the desired
frame in the video clip. Click on the
export frame button. A dialogue box will
be opened. Now enter a name for this
frame and select the export
format. You can also check the box if
you want this frame to be imported into
your project. Just click on okay and
your frame will be
exported. Once you have created a
project in Premiere Pro, all the files
imported will be shown in the project
panel. The project panel is where you
can import, locate, find, organize, and
preview your clips. At the bottom left
of the project panel, there is a toggle
button to switch between readon and read
write files for project panels. If it's
toggled for read only, you cannot import
or use these files. All the files will
be read only. Also on the right side, we
can see buttons for list view.
icon view and free form view. If you
have a list view toggled on, all the
files present in the project panel will
be in the listed view. If the icon view
is toggled on, all the files in the
project panel will be in the icon view.
If the free form view is toggled on, all
the files will be in free form view. In
the description below, you can find a

journey. Besides these, there is a
slider for adjusting the size of icons
and thumbnails of files. Right to the
slider, there is a button for how you
want to sort your files in the project
panel. Now, there is an automate
sequence option. By using this option,
Premiere Pro will create a sequence for
you using selected footage or bins in
the project panel. We'll further look
into automating to sequence deeply.
Right? To automate the sequence, we have
a find icon from which we can find the
files in the project
panel. After that, we have an icon to
create bins in project panels. Besides
the bin icon, we have a new item icon
from where you can create
sequences, adjustment
layers, color mats,
etc. And now at last, we have a delete
icon which deletes selected files in the
project
panel. First of all, we will select the
sequence which we want to export. Go to
the file
menu export and then
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plus M on Mac. You can now see the
export window. Here name your file
according to your requirement. I have
named it sample. Now click on browse and
select your preferred location where you
want to save your file.
In the preset drop-down menu, select
preset according to your requirement.
For now, I'm selecting match source
adaptive high bit rate. In format,
select H.264 codec for high quality MP4
video and low file size. In the
video, select render at maximum depth
and use maximum render quality. After
that, just click on export on the right
bottom and your video will start
rendering. The time depends on the video
resolution, effects used, etc. In the
description below, you can find a link
to Invato Elements, which offers
millions of incredible resources to
assist you on your video creation
journey. Now, let's see how to export
video using an Adob Media Encoder. Keep
in mind that for exporting using a media
encoder, versions of both applications
should be the same. In my case, I have
the 2022 version of Premiere Pro. Then
similarly, I need a media encoder 2022
for exporting.
Now go to the file menu then export and
click on
media or else use a keyboard shortcut
that is control +m on Windows or command
plusm on Mac to open the export window.
Here you need to name your file. Define
location. Select the preset and format.
Now at the right bottom click on send to
media encoder. Auto media encoder will
be opened. Here you can change the
format of the
video. Add
presets and also define the output name
and
location. Now at the top right click on
the play button. Your video will start
exporting. Here rendering time depends
on the resolution and effects used in
the video. If you want to download

Let's start with the home screen. The
home screen is where you begin with
Adobo Premiere Pro. It has options to
create a new project or open existing
project. When we create a new project,
we can see the header bar to navigate
with Premiere Pro. Firstly, we have a
home button to open the home
screen. Then we have an import tab which
will help us import files. Next, we have
an edit tab which will be our main tab
for editing in Premiere Pro. After that,
we have an export tab which will help us
export
videos. Below that, we have the project
name and hovering over your project will
also show the destination where the
project is saved.
Then we have a workspace tab from which
we can change
workspaces. Following that we have a
quick export button which helps us
export videos quickly. Lastly we have
maximize video output for viewing video
output in full screen mode. To exit the
full screen mode press keyboard shortcut
control plus tiled on Windows or command
plus tiled on Mac. Now let's see the
different workspaces available in Adobe
Premiere Pro. Adob Premiere Pro uses
panel-based interfaces which are called
workspaces. The default workspace
contains a group of panels and
standalone panels. We can customize a
workspace by arranging panels in a
layout that suits us. We can create
several custom workspaces for different
tasks. The first workspace available in
Premiere Pro is essentials. In
essentials, everything we need is
organized for easy access. It's
recommended if you work on a single
monitor setup. Also, this is the default
workspace of Premiere Pro. Next is the
vertical workspace which is best for
vertical
videos. Then we have the learning
workspace which can be used while
learning in-app tutorials and
editing. Assembly. The assembly
workspace is designed for fast review
and rough cut
editing. Editing. Editing is the default
editing workspace in Premiere Pro which
has 25
panels. Color. Premiere Pro provides
professional quality color grading and
color correction tools in the color
workspace. Effects. The effects
workspace has various effects for video
and audio editing.
Audio. In Adobe Premiere Pro's audio
workspace, you can edit audio, add
effects, and
mix. Captions and graphics. The captions
and graphics workspace is used while
working with captions or graphics on
your
video. Review. The review workspace is
used if you want to use frame.io for
reviews. Libraries.
The library workspace allows you to add
and share media and assets between
various auto
apps. All panels. The all panels
workspace has all panels available in
Premiere
Pro. Metaloging. The metaloging
workspace is for entering metadata after
importing, capturing or digitizing media
into Premiere
Pro. Production. The production
workspace is used while working or
collaborating with a team on a
production. Now let's see the different
methods of changing the workspace. The
first one is from the workspace tab
where a drop-own list will appear with
workspaces. The second one is from
window
workspaces. By default, Premiere Pro
opens projects in whatever workspace you
currently have open. However, you can
open a project in the workspace last
used with it. Before opening a project,
select window
workspaces. Import workspace from
project. Additionally, we can modify the
order of workspaces or delete them. To
modify the order, go to the workspace
tab and choose edit workspaces or go to
window workspaces.
Edit workspaces.
