Premiere Pro CS3 - Editing Basics Tutorial

Setting in and out points for clips is vital for editing raw footage. See how to do that and the different ways to add your trimmed clips to the timeline. This is basic stuff, but helpful to learn the many ways to add to the timeline. - Jon @ aJBprods

can cs3 be used to edit the picture quality/or editing the colour of the videos (contrast/brightness)???reply asap

[aJBprods]

@fariz90 Yes. These effects are in the Effects Panel and you can drag and drop them on to clips in the timeline. Then you can alter the properties of the effects in the Effect Controls Panel, usually next to the Source Panel. :)

I just exported a 30 min music clip that I am trying to export as 7 separate music tracks. I have the full clip in the sequence and have used the razor tool to cut the tracks the way I want them. I I tried making an in and out point on one piece and tried to export and all i keep getting is the whole 30 min track. Do you know how to do this?....I have done it with Final cut pro for the mac dozens of times this way but don't sadly don't have that program anymore. any help would be appreciated.

@gmoneystyle85 In out Out points on the timeline aren't to set export range like with FCP. You would need to set the WorkArea bar for the export range. It's the thick area above the timeline numbers, you can drag the start and end ranges to snap to the edits/cuts you have made, then export. :)

I can't add clips to my timeline :S

whats wrong?

[aJBprods]

@kaaskop01 how are you trying to add the clips? Drag n Drop? Or with the insert overlay shortcut buttons? which means you need the tracks active (light grey) and that means you click on them to activate and deactivate them.

Do you have a video tutoring how to insert sound into the timeline. I've tried to import it and then drag it to timeline, it doesn't work. It can't be dragged.
