WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.243 --> 00:00:02.820 Let's go ahead and open Premiere Pro. 2 00:00:02.820 --> 00:00:07.419 When you open Premiere Pro, you'll see a screen like this. 3 00:00:07.419 --> 00:00:10.970 Now I have a bunch of projects that I've worked on already, 4 00:00:10.970 --> 00:00:12.824 so you can see here the names 5 00:00:12.824 --> 00:00:15.602 of the projects that I've been working on. 6 00:00:15.602 --> 00:00:17.599 You won't have that if you're opening up 7 00:00:17.599 --> 00:00:20.494 Premiere Pro for the very first time. 8 00:00:20.494 --> 00:00:23.121 To start a new project, we're going to click 9 00:00:23.121 --> 00:00:25.559 this New Project button; but know that 10 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:27.715 if you've recently worked on a project, 11 00:00:27.715 --> 00:00:30.460 or you want to open a project that you have 12 00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:33.000 in your files or on an external hard drive, 13 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.224 you can click this Open Project button 14 00:00:35.224 --> 00:00:39.059 and then find it from your list of files. 15 00:00:39.059 --> 00:00:42.284 You could even just double-click that project file 16 00:00:42.284 --> 00:00:44.886 from your documents or finder. 17 00:00:44.886 --> 00:00:47.219 I'm gonna click New Project. 18 00:00:48.086 --> 00:00:51.590 That's going to open up the New Project panel. 19 00:00:51.590 --> 00:00:54.816 At the top we're going to name this project. 20 00:00:54.816 --> 00:00:57.816 We'll call this Premiere Pro Course, 21 00:00:59.656 --> 00:01:02.678 and then you choose where you want to save it. 22 00:01:02.678 --> 00:01:05.776 There's a dropdown menu for some popular locations, 23 00:01:05.776 --> 00:01:10.094 or you can click browse and save it wherever you want. 24 00:01:10.094 --> 00:01:13.482 I'm going to save it into the Class folder 25 00:01:13.482 --> 00:01:17.649 for Adobe Premiere Pro; I'll select Choose for that folder. 26 00:01:20.695 --> 00:01:24.695 Then we have some other options to take care of. 27 00:01:25.611 --> 00:01:28.060 Depending on how fast your computer is, 28 00:01:28.060 --> 00:01:32.276 choose that GPU acceleration option if you have it. 29 00:01:32.276 --> 00:01:33.971 If not, it's okay; you might just have a little bit 30 00:01:33.971 --> 00:01:38.138 of issues if you're trying to edit big, large 4K footage. 31 00:01:40.067 --> 00:01:43.251 For Video Display Format, I choose Timecode. 32 00:01:43.251 --> 00:01:46.644 You might wanna use Feet or Frames if you're editing 33 00:01:46.644 --> 00:01:49.777 an actual film that was shot on film; 34 00:01:49.777 --> 00:01:53.411 but for most digital projects, Timecode is good. 35 00:01:53.411 --> 00:01:56.115 Display Format, Audio Samples is good. 36 00:01:56.115 --> 00:01:58.770 Capture Format, we're not going to be 37 00:01:58.770 --> 00:02:01.919 capturing anything via Adobe Premiere Pro. 38 00:02:01.919 --> 00:02:05.002 This is if you had a camera or a deck 39 00:02:06.008 --> 00:02:07.899 plugged into your computer and you wanted 40 00:02:07.899 --> 00:02:10.924 to capture footage from a tape. 41 00:02:10.924 --> 00:02:13.043 For Scratch Discs this is important though. 42 00:02:13.043 --> 00:02:17.210 So, for me, I typically save all of this Same as Project. 43 00:02:19.519 --> 00:02:24.420 What this means is the video, the renders, the previews; 44 00:02:24.420 --> 00:02:27.262 these are files that Adobe Premiere Pro creates 45 00:02:27.262 --> 00:02:30.528 when you start a project, when you add effects, 46 00:02:30.528 --> 00:02:34.728 when you make changes, when you autosave your project. 47 00:02:34.728 --> 00:02:36.992 I like all of those files saving 48 00:02:36.992 --> 00:02:39.492 to where my actual project is. 49 00:02:40.484 --> 00:02:44.020 I don't want it on some back library of the computer. 50 00:02:44.020 --> 00:02:45.511 I want it easily accessible, 51 00:02:45.511 --> 00:02:49.095 so I always choose Same as Project for these. 52 00:02:49.095 --> 00:02:51.062 When you're happy with your settings with the name 53 00:02:51.062 --> 00:02:53.670 and with the location, just click Okay; 54 00:02:53.670 --> 00:02:57.157 and then Adobe Premiere Pro will open up. 55 00:02:57.157 --> 00:03:00.385 Now this is probably confusing if you've never 56 00:03:00.385 --> 00:03:03.319 opened up Adobe Premiere Pro; so in the rest 57 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.039 of this lesson we're going to learn 58 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.372 what these main windows, or panels, are. 59 00:03:09.656 --> 00:03:12.553 We're going to learn how to customise the view 60 00:03:12.553 --> 00:03:16.220 so that yours looks like this if your window 61 00:03:17.318 --> 00:03:20.834 doesn't look like this, which it might not. 62 00:03:20.834 --> 00:03:25.574 One quick way to get your window, or your programme, 63 00:03:25.574 --> 00:03:27.373 to look like mine is to go up 64 00:03:27.373 --> 00:03:29.956 to Window, Workspaces, Editing. 65 00:03:31.836 --> 00:03:34.335 That's the workspace we're going to start out with; 66 00:03:34.335 --> 00:03:36.973 then we're going to learn how to customise it. 67 00:03:36.973 --> 00:03:39.211 To understand what all these panels are, 68 00:03:39.211 --> 00:03:40.977 I'm going to open up the project 69 00:03:40.977 --> 00:03:43.537 we'll be working on for this course, 70 00:03:43.537 --> 00:03:47.914 which is this Anthony Carbajal short documentary. 71 00:03:47.914 --> 00:03:49.817 I'm actually going to start in the bottom left 72 00:03:49.817 --> 00:03:52.270 with our Project panel. 73 00:03:52.270 --> 00:03:54.893 So all of these windows have panels. 74 00:03:54.893 --> 00:03:58.259 Some of them have tabs with other panels behind them. 75 00:03:58.259 --> 00:04:00.908 So see here we have Project in the front? 76 00:04:00.908 --> 00:04:03.000 Behind that is the Effects; 77 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.090 and if we click on the Effects, the Effects panel pops up. 78 00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:08.943 The Project panel is basically your documents. 79 00:04:08.943 --> 00:04:11.272 It's your organisation panel. 80 00:04:11.272 --> 00:04:13.558 It's where you import files. 81 00:04:13.558 --> 00:04:17.110 It's where you create new files like titles or graphics, 82 00:04:17.110 --> 00:04:19.761 and it's where you keep everything organised. 83 00:04:19.761 --> 00:04:22.109 Behind it we saw, this is the Effects tab; 84 00:04:22.109 --> 00:04:24.973 and this is where we have all of our video effects, 85 00:04:24.973 --> 00:04:27.821 audio effects, and transitions. 86 00:04:27.821 --> 00:04:30.409 Right to the right of the Project 87 00:04:30.409 --> 00:04:33.050 and the Effects panel is this tool bar. 88 00:04:33.050 --> 00:04:36.284 This includes all the tools that you have available 89 00:04:36.284 --> 00:04:39.950 for editing your footage on the Timeline, 90 00:04:39.950 --> 00:04:41.718 which is over here to the right. 91 00:04:41.718 --> 00:04:43.577 This is the Timeline. 92 00:04:43.577 --> 00:04:46.050 This might seem very confusing to you, 93 00:04:46.050 --> 00:04:47.709 and I wouldn't be surprised; 94 00:04:47.709 --> 00:04:50.042 so don't get too worried. 95 00:04:50.042 --> 00:04:52.890 You will learn how to do all of this. 96 00:04:52.890 --> 00:04:56.638 Just know that on the top of the Timeline, 97 00:04:56.638 --> 00:04:59.138 starting from V1, V2, V3, V4; 98 00:05:00.526 --> 00:05:03.360 you might not have these many layers 99 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.006 when you open up Premiere Pro. 100 00:05:05.006 --> 00:05:06.907 These are all video tracks. 101 00:05:06.907 --> 00:05:11.074 Below, on the bottom half, A1, A2, these are audio tracks. 102 00:05:12.412 --> 00:05:16.401 You can adjust the size of the track and really any panel 103 00:05:16.401 --> 00:05:21.139 by hovering over the line on the edge of the panel 104 00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:24.888 or the track and clicking and dragging. 105 00:05:24.888 --> 00:05:29.394 You can seem me doing that right here with this panel. 106 00:05:29.394 --> 00:05:31.618 So all of these things I can make smaller 107 00:05:31.618 --> 00:05:34.344 so you can see all the three audio tracks, 108 00:05:34.344 --> 00:05:38.511 and there's actually nine video tracks that we're using. 109 00:05:40.409 --> 00:05:44.767 It's a lot, and it goes from zero seconds to one minute; 110 00:05:44.767 --> 00:05:48.563 and you can see the seconds and the milliseconds right here. 111 00:05:48.563 --> 00:05:52.416 Over on the right are our audio monitor, 112 00:05:52.416 --> 00:05:54.334 so if I play through this; 113 00:05:54.334 --> 00:05:56.638 I'm just gonna turn the audio off, but if I play through it, 114 00:05:56.638 --> 00:05:58.986 you can see the audio levels bouncing up. 115 00:05:58.986 --> 00:06:01.711 So this is a good audio monitor to use. 116 00:06:01.711 --> 00:06:05.826 This also brings us to the programme monitor up here. 117 00:06:05.826 --> 00:06:09.805 As I play through this, this is the final product, 118 00:06:09.805 --> 00:06:12.850 or at least the product we're working on down here. 119 00:06:12.850 --> 00:06:15.413 So everything we add to, 120 00:06:15.413 --> 00:06:18.601 as you can see Anthony being funny right here 121 00:06:18.601 --> 00:06:21.788 for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, threw on a bikini, 122 00:06:21.788 --> 00:06:25.018 he's a really out there, extroverted guy, 123 00:06:25.018 --> 00:06:27.256 thought it would be funny; and we're gonna learn more 124 00:06:27.256 --> 00:06:30.365 about his story and what this project 125 00:06:30.365 --> 00:06:32.938 is all about throughout these lessons. 126 00:06:32.938 --> 00:06:35.104 So I don't wanna give everything away yet, 127 00:06:35.104 --> 00:06:38.275 but just know he's a very extroverted, funny guy. 128 00:06:38.275 --> 00:06:41.567 So this, you can see, we've added all kinds of things. 129 00:06:41.567 --> 00:06:45.100 We've added graphics, we've added transitions, 130 00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:47.523 we've added motion to photos; we've added, 131 00:06:47.523 --> 00:06:50.710 you can't tell, but we've added colour correction, 132 00:06:50.710 --> 00:06:54.806 adjustment layers, titles, so many things to this track, 133 00:06:54.806 --> 00:06:57.057 and that's what all these different blocks are. 134 00:06:57.057 --> 00:07:01.224 Video tracks, graphics, titles, colour correction layers; 135 00:07:02.656 --> 00:07:05.199 don't worry, we'll learn all of it. 136 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:06.984 And up here in the programme monitor, 137 00:07:06.984 --> 00:07:11.371 that's where you see what's happening on your Timeline. 138 00:07:11.371 --> 00:07:14.494 There's these buttons down here that allow you 139 00:07:14.494 --> 00:07:17.830 to control playing the video track. 140 00:07:17.830 --> 00:07:21.663 Pressing space bar allows you to play or stop, 141 00:07:22.966 --> 00:07:24.778 or you can press these buttons too. 142 00:07:24.778 --> 00:07:27.230 And realise that I'm just 143 00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:29.275 skimming over a lot of these buttons. 144 00:07:29.275 --> 00:07:32.474 There's so many buttons that I'm not explaining right now, 145 00:07:32.474 --> 00:07:35.462 and I had taught a Premiere Pro course before 146 00:07:35.462 --> 00:07:37.825 where I tried to explain every button 147 00:07:37.825 --> 00:07:40.386 as I went through everything. 148 00:07:40.386 --> 00:07:42.806 That doesn't work that well. 149 00:07:42.806 --> 00:07:45.991 There is just too much going on; and so with this class, 150 00:07:45.991 --> 00:07:50.158 we're going to learn as we actually create and as we go on. 151 00:07:51.327 --> 00:07:53.930 If you have any questions about any of the content 152 00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:56.917 in this course, head over to the Q&A tab. 153 00:07:56.917 --> 00:07:59.294 First, search and see if anyone else has asked 154 00:07:59.294 --> 00:08:01.915 that same question; or, if they haven't, 155 00:08:01.915 --> 00:08:04.932 ask a new question by clicking the Ask New Question button, 156 00:08:04.932 --> 00:08:08.254 typing in your question title, and then describing 157 00:08:08.254 --> 00:08:11.471 what issue or what you're trying to figure out. 158 00:08:11.471 --> 00:08:13.087 If it's something very specific 159 00:08:13.087 --> 00:08:15.281 about what you're trying to do with your project, 160 00:08:15.281 --> 00:08:17.976 it always help if you post a screenshot 161 00:08:17.976 --> 00:08:21.953 of your Premiere Pro screen, so I can see what's going on. 162 00:08:21.953 --> 00:08:25.277 Anyway, so this is the project programme monitor up here; 163 00:08:25.277 --> 00:08:27.441 and up here on the left, we have our Source, 164 00:08:27.441 --> 00:08:30.914 Effects Controls, and Audio Track Mixer. 165 00:08:30.914 --> 00:08:32.622 And you might not have Audio Track Mixer, 166 00:08:32.622 --> 00:08:34.646 but I'll show you how to open those panels 167 00:08:34.646 --> 00:08:36.553 and close panels in just a sec. 168 00:08:36.553 --> 00:08:39.732 The Source monitor is where you preview your clips. 169 00:08:39.732 --> 00:08:42.326 So down here we have our folders of videos. 170 00:08:42.326 --> 00:08:45.511 If I open up our interview folder, 171 00:08:45.511 --> 00:08:48.011 I double-click our first clip, 172 00:08:48.866 --> 00:08:53.284 and then it opens up into our Source monitor. 173 00:08:53.284 --> 00:08:57.747 If I open up our music folder and open up a music clip, 174 00:08:57.747 --> 00:09:00.993 our music waveform clip pops up 175 00:09:00.993 --> 00:09:04.345 open up here so we can check it out. 176 00:09:04.345 --> 00:09:07.805 Effects Controls, this is where we actually change 177 00:09:07.805 --> 00:09:11.638 how effects look or the settings of an effect. 178 00:09:13.260 --> 00:09:16.767 So, for example, I'm gonna click this adjustment layer 179 00:09:16.767 --> 00:09:19.676 which, or really, any of these layers. 180 00:09:19.676 --> 00:09:22.950 So we have a video layer; and you can see 181 00:09:22.950 --> 00:09:26.850 when I click on that, you see a Motion, Opacity, 182 00:09:26.850 --> 00:09:29.460 Time Remapping, all these tabs open up. 183 00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:32.064 Some of these come included with every layer 184 00:09:32.064 --> 00:09:34.337 that you put on your Timeline. 185 00:09:34.337 --> 00:09:36.623 Something like the Lumetri Colour Effect, 186 00:09:36.623 --> 00:09:38.709 that's something that I added afterwards. 187 00:09:38.709 --> 00:09:41.469 That's an effect, down here, 188 00:09:41.469 --> 00:09:43.890 in the Effects panel, that we added. 189 00:09:43.890 --> 00:09:46.358 We'll learn how to do that in this course. 190 00:09:46.358 --> 00:09:48.720 And then the last one is the Audio Track Mixer. 191 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.490 You might not have this open; 192 00:09:50.490 --> 00:09:52.118 and if you don't have it open, 193 00:09:52.118 --> 00:09:54.526 let me show you how to do that. 194 00:09:54.526 --> 00:09:56.080 But first let me close it, 195 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:57.726 and you can close any of these panels 196 00:09:57.726 --> 00:10:01.139 by right-clicking and choosing Close Panel. 197 00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:03.577 So if you don't have the Audio Track Mixer open, 198 00:10:03.577 --> 00:10:08.349 go up to Window and click the Audio Track Mixer right here. 199 00:10:08.349 --> 00:10:12.141 And that pops open Audio Track Mixer. 200 00:10:12.141 --> 00:10:14.884 Now it might not have opened it up right here 201 00:10:14.884 --> 00:10:18.724 in this Source monitor panel up here in the top left. 202 00:10:18.724 --> 00:10:21.359 So to customise your space, 203 00:10:21.359 --> 00:10:23.739 let's go back to our other project. 204 00:10:23.739 --> 00:10:25.446 So here we're in our other project. 205 00:10:25.446 --> 00:10:27.497 It still has the Audio Track Mixer open. 206 00:10:27.497 --> 00:10:30.078 Say we want to move this Audio Track Mixer 207 00:10:30.078 --> 00:10:33.157 down below our Project panel, 208 00:10:33.157 --> 00:10:35.473 or in this panel behind Effects; 209 00:10:35.473 --> 00:10:38.031 we can click any of these panels, 210 00:10:38.031 --> 00:10:40.776 drag it around, and move it. 211 00:10:40.776 --> 00:10:42.310 And you can see, as I move it, 212 00:10:42.310 --> 00:10:45.439 different panels get highlighted. 213 00:10:45.439 --> 00:10:49.231 If I wanna just add it right into this panel, 214 00:10:49.231 --> 00:10:52.139 just drag it into the middle and let go. 215 00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:54.869 You can see that it drags it into this panel. 216 00:10:54.869 --> 00:10:57.873 If I want, I can actually add it to the top 217 00:10:57.873 --> 00:11:00.781 and add a completely new panel 218 00:11:00.781 --> 00:11:03.250 or the right or the bottom or the left. 219 00:11:03.250 --> 00:11:07.029 So see what happens when I click and I unclick 220 00:11:07.029 --> 00:11:10.033 over here when it's highlighted in the right? 221 00:11:10.033 --> 00:11:12.165 A new panel pops open. 222 00:11:12.165 --> 00:11:14.404 Or if I want it on the left up here, 223 00:11:14.404 --> 00:11:17.404 it opens up a new panel on the left. 224 00:11:18.244 --> 00:11:21.065 If you're following along, it's probably a lot easier 225 00:11:21.065 --> 00:11:24.997 to just play around with this and understand how to do it. 226 00:11:24.997 --> 00:11:27.557 You can resize, as I mentioned before. 227 00:11:27.557 --> 00:11:30.798 You can drag the tabs to the left or right 228 00:11:30.798 --> 00:11:33.450 to adjust the order of the tabs. 229 00:11:33.450 --> 00:11:36.987 Say I want Audio Track Mixer before the Effects Controls, 230 00:11:36.987 --> 00:11:41.728 I can just drag it into the middle of those two panels. 231 00:11:41.728 --> 00:11:45.110 The goal with this lesson, and moving into the next lesson, 232 00:11:45.110 --> 00:11:49.634 is to set up your project to look like my setup right now. 233 00:11:49.634 --> 00:11:53.657 So you want your Project panel with the Effects. 234 00:11:53.657 --> 00:11:55.899 You want your Timeline down in the bottom right, 235 00:11:55.899 --> 00:11:58.168 the Programme up in the top right, 236 00:11:58.168 --> 00:12:01.242 and then the Source, Audio Track Mixer, 237 00:12:01.242 --> 00:12:04.812 not the Audio Clip Mixer, the Audio Track Mixer, 238 00:12:04.812 --> 00:12:08.242 in the Effects Controls up in the top left. 239 00:12:08.242 --> 00:12:11.930 To save this workspace so that if it ever gets messed up 240 00:12:11.930 --> 00:12:15.435 or if you ever add new panels or open new panels 241 00:12:15.435 --> 00:12:19.958 but want to revert to this setup, go to Window, 242 00:12:19.958 --> 00:12:22.791 Workspaces, Save as New Workspace. 243 00:12:24.730 --> 00:12:29.515 Click that, and then name your workspace and click Okay. 244 00:12:29.515 --> 00:12:31.920 I already have one that's set up like this. 245 00:12:31.920 --> 00:12:34.056 It's called Phil's Single Monitor. 246 00:12:34.056 --> 00:12:35.823 It's basically the same setup. 247 00:12:35.823 --> 00:12:37.591 Effects Controls is in the middle 248 00:12:37.591 --> 00:12:39.419 rather than over to the right; 249 00:12:39.419 --> 00:12:41.505 but now, whenever I want to go back 250 00:12:41.505 --> 00:12:43.625 to that Phil's Single Monitor setup, 251 00:12:43.625 --> 00:12:46.412 I can just click that Phil's Single Monitor. 252 00:12:46.412 --> 00:12:48.392 And you can see that I have Sam, Will;
