WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.691 --> 00:00:02.319 Now that we have a little bit 2 00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:05.478 of a better idea of what these different panels are, 3 00:00:05.478 --> 00:00:08.155 let's go ahead and import our footage. 4 00:00:08.155 --> 00:00:10.494 I'm going to drag this up just a bit 5 00:00:10.494 --> 00:00:12.868 to make our project panel a bit bigger 6 00:00:12.868 --> 00:00:15.611 so we can see it more clearly. 7 00:00:15.611 --> 00:00:16.967 To import media, there's lots 8 00:00:16.967 --> 00:00:18.327 of different ways we can do it. 9 00:00:18.327 --> 00:00:20.473 We can double click just right 10 00:00:20.473 --> 00:00:23.439 within the project panel itself. 11 00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:26.400 We can go up to file, import, 12 00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:30.467 or we can press command I on our computers, 13 00:00:30.467 --> 00:00:35.143 command I for MAC users, control I for PC users. 14 00:00:35.143 --> 00:00:39.386 I'm using a MAC so whenever I say command, 15 00:00:39.386 --> 00:00:42.386 you'll use a control button on a PC. 16 00:00:44.045 --> 00:00:47.048 Another way is just to simply drag and drop 17 00:00:47.048 --> 00:00:48.283 your files right here. 18 00:00:48.283 --> 00:00:49.351 So, let's do it a couple ways. 19 00:00:49.351 --> 00:00:51.366 Let's double click here. 20 00:00:51.366 --> 00:00:54.326 You'll find a resources folder. 21 00:00:54.326 --> 00:00:57.772 It's a zipped up folder that I've put together for you 22 00:00:57.772 --> 00:01:02.074 in the supplemental resources of this course. 23 00:01:02.074 --> 00:01:06.152 So, you can unzip that and you'll see there's video clips, 24 00:01:06.152 --> 00:01:08.235 photos, music, and a Lut. 25 00:01:09.905 --> 00:01:12.225 We'll talk about all these things throughout the course. 26 00:01:12.225 --> 00:01:14.856 But, let's start out with video clips. 27 00:01:14.856 --> 00:01:17.916 To select one video clip to import, 28 00:01:17.916 --> 00:01:20.885 you can just find that one and click import. 29 00:01:20.885 --> 00:01:22.990 Or, you can select multiple. 30 00:01:22.990 --> 00:01:26.210 I'm just selecting the top one and then pressing shift 31 00:01:26.210 --> 00:01:29.646 and clicking the last one to select multiple. 32 00:01:29.646 --> 00:01:32.343 Or, if you have specific ones you want to import, 33 00:01:32.343 --> 00:01:36.733 you can command click, control click if you're on a PC, 34 00:01:36.733 --> 00:01:39.066 the ones that you want to import. 35 00:01:39.066 --> 00:01:43.689 I'm just going to select all of these and say import. 36 00:01:43.689 --> 00:01:48.280 So, that imports all of our video clips to our project. 37 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.634 Let's stay organised as we go. 38 00:01:50.634 --> 00:01:54.017 Let's create a new bin or a new folder by clicking 39 00:01:54.017 --> 00:01:56.512 this new bin button right here. 40 00:01:56.512 --> 00:01:59.557 You can also right click and say new bin 41 00:01:59.557 --> 00:02:01.637 or you can press command B, 42 00:02:01.637 --> 00:02:04.234 control B for your windows people. 43 00:02:04.234 --> 00:02:07.499 Then type in the name of this bin. 44 00:02:07.499 --> 00:02:09.679 I'm just gonna call it video for now 45 00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:12.564 and I'm going to select all of these clips, 46 00:02:12.564 --> 00:02:14.969 selecting the top one, shift clicking the bottom one, 47 00:02:14.969 --> 00:02:18.299 and drag it into this bin or this folder. 48 00:02:18.299 --> 00:02:21.580 We can open and close these folders with the drop down 49 00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:24.478 toggle on the left hand side. 50 00:02:24.478 --> 00:02:26.700 An easier way to import a folder is 51 00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:29.033 to just drag and drop it in. 52 00:02:29.033 --> 00:02:32.257 So, I'm going over to my finder on my MAC, 53 00:02:32.257 --> 00:02:35.711 I'm pressing command tab is an option to do that, 54 00:02:35.711 --> 00:02:40.073 I think it's control tab to tab between your different 55 00:02:40.073 --> 00:02:42.371 applications you have open on your computer. 56 00:02:42.371 --> 00:02:45.621 And I can simply click my photos folder 57 00:02:46.911 --> 00:02:49.244 and drag it into my project. 58 00:02:50.193 --> 00:02:52.858 You can see now it has that photos folder. 59 00:02:52.858 --> 00:02:56.440 It also has a music folder that I'm gonna drag in. 60 00:02:56.440 --> 00:02:59.552 And this is all copyright free music that you can use. 61 00:02:59.552 --> 00:03:02.328 I found it on the YouTube audio library, 62 00:03:02.328 --> 00:03:04.186 which is a free to use 63 00:03:04.186 --> 00:03:07.419 music library for your video projects, 64 00:03:07.419 --> 00:03:10.768 commercial or personal projects. 65 00:03:10.768 --> 00:03:12.520 So, these are all the files we'll import. 66 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:16.048 We'll learn about the Lut later on. 67 00:03:16.048 --> 00:03:18.604 We can organise the video even further 68 00:03:18.604 --> 00:03:21.307 or any of these files any further. 69 00:03:21.307 --> 00:03:24.407 I'm going to add a new bin and call it B-roll. 70 00:03:24.407 --> 00:03:27.727 B-roll is any of the video, photos, or graphics 71 00:03:27.727 --> 00:03:31.322 that you cut away to or you intercut with the main shot. 72 00:03:31.322 --> 00:03:34.231 For example, in a documentary, your main shot might be 73 00:03:34.231 --> 00:03:37.369 your interview and then you might cut away to 74 00:03:37.369 --> 00:03:39.888 some action footage or some kind of video 75 00:03:39.888 --> 00:03:43.879 that describes more about what the person is talking about. 76 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.747 And let me just open up these clips to show you 77 00:03:46.747 --> 00:03:49.707 what I'm talking about so, we have interview A 78 00:03:49.707 --> 00:03:52.067 and interview B camera. 79 00:03:52.067 --> 00:03:55.350 These are the interview video clips. 80 00:03:55.350 --> 00:03:58.671 Then I have this B-roll, which is extra footage 81 00:03:58.671 --> 00:04:02.838 that we shot that shows more about the person's life. 82 00:04:03.957 --> 00:04:05.074 It's the descriptor. 83 00:04:05.074 --> 00:04:07.053 It's just that additional footage. 84 00:04:07.053 --> 00:04:09.332 So, I'm going to move all of this footage 85 00:04:09.332 --> 00:04:13.499 that's not the interview footage into a B-roll folder. 86 00:04:14.674 --> 00:04:17.681 Depending on how big my project is, 87 00:04:17.681 --> 00:04:20.550 I might have many B-roll folders. 88 00:04:20.550 --> 00:04:22.933 This is actually from a documentary I'm making, 89 00:04:22.933 --> 00:04:25.281 a short documentary about Anthony 90 00:04:25.281 --> 00:04:27.504 and in the actual documentary project, 91 00:04:27.504 --> 00:04:31.254 I have B-roll folders for our street session, 92 00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:35.294 for his photo editing session, 93 00:04:35.294 --> 00:04:38.220 for when he was with his wife, 94 00:04:38.220 --> 00:04:39.970 all kinds of folders. 95 00:04:41.567 --> 00:04:45.317 And then, I'm also going to add an interview folder 96 00:04:45.317 --> 00:04:47.669 to put this interview footage. 97 00:04:47.669 --> 00:04:52.309 The key with organisation is that there's no set rules. 98 00:04:52.309 --> 00:04:55.401 I just want you to be organised so that you can find 99 00:04:55.401 --> 00:04:57.122 your footage when you're looking for it 100 00:04:57.122 --> 00:04:58.251 and that's the key thing. 101 00:04:58.251 --> 00:05:01.304 To be able to find footage when you're looking for it. 102 00:05:01.304 --> 00:05:04.429 I try to keep my folder structures similar 103 00:05:04.429 --> 00:05:06.512 to how it is in my documents. 104 00:05:06.512 --> 00:05:08.711 So if you look at my finder, 105 00:05:08.711 --> 00:05:12.284 you see I have music, photos, and video clips, 106 00:05:12.284 --> 00:05:15.426 and usually this is just called video actually, 107 00:05:15.426 --> 00:05:18.831 but I titled it video clips for this folder. 108 00:05:18.831 --> 00:05:23.426 And that's how I keep the structure of my project file 109 00:05:23.426 --> 00:05:25.478 in my project of Premier Pro. 110 00:05:25.478 --> 00:05:27.820 And then sometimes I have a graphics folder. 111 00:05:27.820 --> 00:05:32.479 Sometimes I have an audio folder if I have sound effects 112 00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:36.067 or voice over or something like that. 113 00:05:36.067 --> 00:05:39.180 But for here, we just have music, photos, and video clips 114 00:05:39.180 --> 00:05:41.131 and that's how we're going to keep it here 115 00:05:41.131 --> 00:05:43.117 in our project panel. 116 00:05:43.117 --> 00:05:47.284 We can rename these bins or these files if you would like. 117 00:05:48.171 --> 00:05:50.095 So, say we want to add more descriptions. 118 00:05:50.095 --> 00:05:53.703 So, here's photo one and photo two. 119 00:05:53.703 --> 00:05:56.262 We can rename it by just selecting it, 120 00:05:56.262 --> 00:05:58.397 pressing return on your keyboard 121 00:05:58.397 --> 00:06:02.352 or it's the enter space on your keyboard if you're on a PC, 122 00:06:02.352 --> 00:06:06.519 and just typing in a new name, photo of Anthony and Larney, 123 00:06:08.805 --> 00:06:10.972 who is his wife, at beach. 124 00:06:11.907 --> 00:06:14.540 Beach, let me spell that right. 125 00:06:14.540 --> 00:06:18.575 Photo two, open it up, and I'll rename this, 126 00:06:18.575 --> 00:06:22.658 photo of Anthony and Larney in front of building. 127 00:06:27.111 --> 00:06:28.887 So, it depends on how much you want 128 00:06:28.887 --> 00:06:31.578 to get involved with renaming. 129 00:06:31.578 --> 00:06:34.868 Sometimes, I won't rename files, sometimes I will. 130 00:06:34.868 --> 00:06:38.068 It just depends on how big the project is. 131 00:06:38.068 --> 00:06:40.847 Just a quick mention, a couple things you'll see 132 00:06:40.847 --> 00:06:44.568 in this project panel are these tabs. 133 00:06:44.568 --> 00:06:46.413 So, we have the name. 134 00:06:46.413 --> 00:06:48.144 We have the frame rate. 135 00:06:48.144 --> 00:06:51.733 So, this is the frame rate of the video we shot. 136 00:06:51.733 --> 00:06:55.554 If I scroll to the left using this slider at the bottom, 137 00:06:55.554 --> 00:06:58.748 you can see lots more information. 138 00:06:58.748 --> 00:07:00.622 So, you can kinda just see all 139 00:07:00.622 --> 00:07:03.288 of the different information we have 140 00:07:03.288 --> 00:07:08.137 for each of these clips, video clips or audio clips alike. 141 00:07:08.137 --> 00:07:10.983 That's how you import and organise footage. 142 00:07:10.983 --> 00:07:14.391 Please go ahead, if you haven't done so already, 143 00:07:14.391 --> 00:07:16.962 import the footage that I've included 144 00:07:16.962 --> 00:07:19.313 in the supplemental resources 145 00:07:19.313 --> 00:07:22.677 and organise it in a similar way. 146 00:07:22.677 --> 00:07:24.390 Thanks and we'll see you in the next lesson.
