Hello guys, welcome to this tutorial! I will show you the newest Adobe PremierePro CC, and the needful basics you need for this software. If you reveal any mistake in pronunciation, help us with feedback comments!Check the video description for the index of what is explained here. Before going on, you must know that this software works just on 64-bit OperativeSystems. Do not try to find it for the 32-bits. Premiere is a video editing software offered by Adobe. This often works withAdobe After Effects. Premiere is more focused on simple video editing andmanagement. Let's start with opening a new project through the welcome windowyou have by default. Go to New Project. In the new window set the main settings of your project, such as name and locationat the bottom. Choose the kind of timeline through Display Format, if you preferto see seconds or frames. Then simply accept with OK. Let's see how the workspace is organized. The top side is dedicated to the previews,where it is shown the imported file opened or the full project instead. The bottomside is dedicated to files, info and browser on the left, and the timeline on the right. A Premiere project is composed by one or many parts called sequences. Eachsequence has its own structure inside the timeline, in separated windows. To import files in your project, create a new sequence first. Just press CTRL+N. Anew window shows you all the available presets. Go to Settings section to setproperties to your new sequence such as frame rate or frequency. Change thesequence name at the bottom and then go to OK. Then add your files dragging themin the timeline directly. They can be videos, images or audio ones. Mind that imagesand videos are treated in the same way. Each sequence will contain the files importedin rows called tracks. Images are put in video tracks, and audio files are put in audio tracks, more at the bottom, that can't welcome images, but just music or speech. Videos, that have frames and sound occupy a video and a sound track in the timeline. Visible and sound parts are indicated through a V or an A letter next to the video file name. These do move always together. You can move them independently right-clicking and going to Unlink. To better distinguish files, they are represented through an unique color. On the left you have the Project window, that can list all the files you needin your work. You can list here all the images, videos, audio tracks and plus thesequences created. To quick collect files here, just drag them here directly. You can open any file at any moment you need. Just double-click on it. If it'sa sequence, the related one will be shown in the timeline. If it's any other file, it willbe shown through the Source window, in the top left corner. Press Space to play orpause the player, or just use the buttons at the bottom. The playhead sets theplacement in time, described through the two times on the left and right. Theorange one says the time passed by whereas the white one the total duration of thefile. In case your computer has low memory or processor, it is important toreduce the quality of the previews shown. Just click on the grey rectangle you see onthe right and choose between Full - the best quality - or half or quarter. Very useful is the photo icon. This lets you save the image of the video framethat it is shown at the moment. Let's now see how to work through the timeline. The timeline is composed byvideo and audio tracks, that you can add, delete or rename by right-clicking. You can eventually delete more of them by selecting more than one single track. Selection is made clicking on a file. Files selected are shown in white color. Tomake multiple selections, just click and drag creating a marquee area. All that fallsinside this will be selected. Otherwise just hold Shift down and click on files. Deselection is made clicking once more. Next to the track name, you have the eye and the lock symbols. The eye means thatall that is inside such track is put visible. In audio tracks it is used the M and the Sbuttons. The Mmeans mute, and makes silent the whole track. The S means Solo andsimply mutes all the other audio tracks to make you hear just the one interested. The third slot is the Lock option. If active, all that is inside the locked track can't bemoved or modified. The click on the timeline will set the playhead at a certain time. The Previewabove will show you how the sequence looks like in the timeline. This is actually whatyou have once rendering the video. Press Space to make all played and stopped. Theoptions in the Preview window are exactly the same found in the Source window on theleft, but referred to the project and not to a file linked to the project. On the right, you find the deciBel meter, or dB meter, that simply tells you how thesound layers are in intensity. Make sure that the color never gets too much red,which means to have it very loud. Layers are modifiable as well. Drag them to move them, along the same track, or inother tracks. Drag the edges to change the layer's length. Keep in mind that you can stretch images as you want, but this doesn't work withvideo or audio layers. These have a beginning and an end, so can't be loopedor stretched more than their natural length. If you want to loop the layer interested,just paste next to such layer its copies. You can cut/copy a layer interestedpressing CTRL+X and CTRL+C from your keyboard. Paste action is done throughCTRL+V, and the layer will be pasted right after the playhead in your timeline. Pay attention where to paste it. Layers that are in the same track and getoverlapped get cut and reduced in length. Make sure not to make overlappings ifyou want to avoid such. You can delete the layer selected right-clicking on it andgoing to Clear. There are some extra buttons on the left. Usually you are going to work alwayswith the Selection Tool on, the first icon in the list. You will use the Track SelectTool to select all the layers inside a single or more tracks, just click on them. Rate Stretch Tool simply changes the playing speed of audio or videolayers in order to adjust them. Just drag the layer edges to see its effect. You will use Razor tool to split any layer in two or more parts. You can view a layer better extending it. Click on the layer name and use your mousewheel. If it's an audio track, you will see the waveform related to the sound layer, onefor each stereo channel. New options will appear, in particular the ones that manage the keyframes. Keyframes are used to change the layer properties in time. Let's see them. If the layer is too much short, zoom in. You can zoom in and out easily using yourmouse wheel while holding ALT down. If the track is extended, you can see an fxicon next to the layer name. These set properties to the single layer. Click on it. If it's a visible layer, you will have Opacity, Motion and Time Remapping. The first one sets transparency; Motion rules anything about scaling, rotation, and so on;Time Remapping changes the playing speed. In sound layers you can editintensity under Volume, and the balance between left and right channels throughthe Panner. Once an effect is applied, the fx icon will turn in yellow color. Whatever is the option chosen, you will have always a straight line upon the layer. If you don't see this that much, drag the edges of the track to enlarge its height a bit. You can change the value of the property chosen dragging up and down such line. Check the Preview window until you are satisfied. Keyframes do act in such line. Hold CTRL down to click on the line to create akeyframe. This simply fixes the value of the property in the instant of time whereit is set. So, if you put more keyframes, one following another, and indifferent values, you will change the property in time. Then right-click on akeyframe to delete or fine the curve around such point. On top, you can use the last icon to choose what to see. In sound layers you canchoose to hide the waveforms, in visible ones the frames themselves. In case you want frames to be shown continuously, right-click on your sequencename, and go to Continuous Video Thumbnails. Let's now see how to render this project. To render anything from Premiere, select anyfile. You can export a single file in the Project window, or the sequence openedin the timeline. You just have to select what you want to export first. So, to render thefull sequence shown, simply click on the timeline to select the sequence and thengo to File, Export and to Media. . . The new window has all to render properly. Scroll the playhead to watch the previewof what you are going to export. The quality and the aspect are related to the renderoptions set on the right side. Change format to change the kind of file. Click on OutputName to set name and location of the media to export. You can choose to exportjust visible parts or audio ones, too. Very important is to know what to render. In Source Range you can choose whichsequence part to be rendered. Choose Entire Sequence to render all in full, until the end of the last layer in the timeline. Otherwise, you can simply make a custompart by dragging the edges of the orange bar, and setting what to consider. Then you can change the size of the video, although this is possible just with someformats. Just go to Video section and to Basic Video Settings. What you cando is to crop the source video to organize the size. Just go to Source in the top leftcorner, and use the Crop button. Remember that all that is outside will be covered in black. Then go to Export!If you want to learn how to render videos in HD, watch the related video in this show. While working, remember to save often, pressing CTRL+S from your keyboard.
