Adobe Premiere Pro is a video editing software in which we cut or
edit the footage or video and can give a final look. In this software we can add different effects and transitions and many more. The latest version of this software is Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2019. There are many topics to learn and do experiments during the Premiere Pro Course, most of the common are given below.
1. Importing Media
The first and important thing to do whenever we start a project is to import media like images, videos, audios etc. It will be easy for us to import everything in the beginning and we will not messed up with our work.- We have three methods to import media are:
- Select file > Import from the media browser
- Right - click the file in the media browser & select import
You can drag the file from the media browser into the project panel, or drag the file from the media browser into timeline.
2. Organizing assets into bin
Organizing things is a very good quality should be in every person. After importing our media we should create different bins for in which we can collect the same type of files together. It will work like a folder. We can also add sequence to it. Advantage of creating bin is we can add or delete the things from the bin or can delete bin completely as per our preference. We can also rename the assets. The method of creating assets is:- We can directly create a bin by clicking the new bin button which is placed at the bottom of the project panel.
3. Editing or trimming video
Main part ot the raw footage is to edit the video or audio which is not necessary for us. When we record audio or video we take so much break or make mistakes. sO, for this premiere pro is quite useful. Editors use this software in interviews, News channels, Youtube, films etc to cut the video or audio.Now, the simplest method of edit the clip is select clip then place playhead where you want to apply the cut and use the shortcut command i.e CTRL + K.
4. Using markers
Next topic is related to markers. Two types of markers we can use on the starting point of the footage and the second one we can use on the ending point of the footage. Which are named as mark in and mark out respectively. Use of marker is that we can use particular area from the whole footage to use. We can apply markers by select marker > add marker or press the M key.5. Multi-Camera editing
Now come to the next topic which is multi camera. This is the most important topic that we should know if we are working in premiere pro. In multi camera editing we can edit the shots which are shot by more than one camera. Now the question is how to use multiple cameras. So,here are all the points that you can use to do multi camera editing.- Create a project
- Import footage
- Create a multi-camera source sequence
- Create a multi-camera target sequence
- Enable multi-camera editing in the Program monitor
- Enable recording of multi-camera edits
- Edit the multi-camera sequence
- Adjust and refine edits
- Export the multi-camera sequence
6. Working with stills
It is not necessary to work only with footages, we can also do experiments with still images. We can create amazing slideshows in this software and can do colour grading also.7. Adding effects and transitions
We can apply transitions in between two or more clips like fade in or fade out & many more to show a flow. In video if we apply effects it will give a different look like blur, crop, noise etc. There are a lot of plugins which we can download and use in our project.8. Colour correction
In Adobe Premiere Pro we can do colour correction. By changing the hue, saturation, colours etc. We can do colour grading in slideshows, mashups etc.9. Animation
In this software, we can animate titles and logos. Wedding animations are mainly created in this software. We can apply different transition & effects to the titles and give movement to it by adding keyframes.10. Croma cutting
Croma cutting is also an important task that we can do. We can change the background of the video if it is on coloured screen. In news channels visual newsroom is created by removing the green screen.All are very important topics that are listed above. If you genuinely wants to learn video editing in Premiere Pro then you can definitely learn these topics and keep experimenting. If you are willing to learn premiere pro in a very effective way then you can join Video Editing Institute, Rohini Delhi.
