 Hey guys, how's it going? I'm Dara. I'm one of your TV station managers this year and so far this year We've shown you a few Premiere Pro tutorials and then how to Video edit the basics, so I'm going to show you now in a video so that you can refresh your minds and whatnot So I've opened Premiere Pro here when you open it and put in your the title of your video I'm going to call this workshop one as I did in the workshop that I did in the Maclabs When you open it, you'll have nothing there It's going to be like a blank canvas for empty panels. They're all gray as you can see there's nothing done yet to the video So on the top left we have this one here This one is your preview your preview will show you exactly what you're looking at from your content spin So you can scrub through it and pick out a particular section of that clip or picture or whatever that you want to use In your final video the bottom left one where it says import media to start this is going to be your content spin This is where you put all of your content including pictures mp3 files any kind of audio files like music or video clips themselves Moving across to the bottom right. We have this long one. This is the timeline a sequence of events from start to finish Chronologically, so we're on zero minutes zero seconds in because we've nothing there all the way to the end of the video So this is going to be where you're going to be doing most of your manipulation and editing of the video top Right is your output. This is going to be your final video and how it looks In the final cut or whatever So we're going to start by importing our media so we can start putting stuff onto our canvas by doing that I'm going to go up to file I'm going to go down to import or if you want to use a keyboard shortcut to go To find a window with all your files in it control I on a PC or command I on a Mac But I'm going to go up to file anyway Now I'm going to open up a video so we can get started. I'm going to open up the same one I used in the tutorials actually and Importing files and here it is it's down here in the bottom left in my contents bin like I thought it would be I'm also going to import a lower third as well Cool So now I have two things in my contents been you can see I've got PNG image here black background with a purple lower third And I have a video so the first thing I'm going to want to do is click on the video that I want And here it is and drag it across to the right and drop it into the content into the timeline rather and when I've done that There's a few changes that occur on the screen as you can see on the top right We can see that we now have an output because we have something in our video to work with On the bottom right we have our timeline up and running in the timeline We have a series of channels here going horizontally across these lines If you look at where my mouse is right now v3 v3 v2 v1 the v channels here They're all video channels so anything that is in any of these channels Above where my mouse is are going to be things that are visual that you can see videos and pictures Anything below this kind of border line here. You have a1 a2 a3 the a1 a2 a3 channels are audio channels So anything that is sound audio or music goes in here As you can see there's a tiny border between the two and if I hover my mouse on that border My mouse turns into a black a double black arrows Icon and I can click and drag that board up and down so I can move and manipulate where I want my sound and my Audio if I click and drag on this blue double line thing here It moves around the two of them move around that is because the dark one on the bottom is in the audio channel a1 The top light blue one is in the V channel. These are connected This is the video that I have here and if I hit the spacebar As you can see So yes, this is the video and because the dark blue and the light blue are connected You can tell that they're the same video if I want to unlink them to the video and so I can work with the video And the audio separately I can right-click on a PC or on a Mac I think it's a control hold down the control key while clicking You should get a little window when you go up on it It'll say on link you can click on link and now I can click and drag and they move Independently as you can see and because they're moving independently if I hit play when there's no audio below this clip No audio comes out, but if I was to move my ticker this little pin vertical blue line here is the ticker This shows you second-by-second frame-by-frame. What's happening? I'd move it over here It's out of sync as you can see and it's out of sync because the audio down here is not in line perfectly with the video So I'm just gonna relink them by highlighting them and right-click and go back to link What I want to do is I'm actually gonna mute it so it's easier for me to work I'm gonna show you how to splice the clip What we're gonna do now is we're gonna right now we're in the mouse clip or moving things around if you move over here This is your Your tool box here The one that's lit up blue is the selection tool and says V beside it because V on the control on your keyboard is the keyboard shortcut By hitting it at any point when you're on any tool you will go immediately back to the selection tool Selection tool as you click and drag and manipulate things that way. I'm gonna click on this one here It's a razor tool if you hover over it's a razor It looks like a little razor icon kind of a rectangle and it has a C in brackets beside it I click on that I am now my mouse now turns into a razor as you can see with the red line through it And what that does means it means that I can splice a clip I can slice a line through a clip at the exact frame that is paused on up here and It cuts them into two independent clips. So I'm gonna move my mouse down over to I'm actually gonna splice a clip where it actually cuts So what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna use my left and right arrow keys to find a clip I want to splice Just one here. I know it's coming up It's black as you can see it's black because he is opening the door The fridge use the left and right arrow keys as I said I'm gonna go frame by frame one two three find that black there that blackness is the cut That's where the clip starts So I'm gonna move my mouse down on that exact frame and I'm gonna click with my razor tool now as you can see It turns into two separate clips. I've used the V key on my keyboard to switch back to the selection tool Or you can go over here and click it and I'm gonna click and drag my parts And now they're two independent clips as you can see there's a gap in between you can tell when there's a gap Because there won't be a yellow line up at the top So it goes to black nothing there and comes up again Brilliant so now I can move these around As you can see and I can do it again for the next I'm going to go frame by frame through Find the exact frame that changes there it is that's the exact frame there So I'm going to go back to my razor tool by hitting see in my keyboard or going over and clicking it over here Bring my razor down and cutting it there and you can continue doing this for each scene in the video I'm just gonna do it for a couple of them, so it's easy to move Okay, so I'm gonna go back to my razor tool and I'm gonna bring that down and I'm going to make a splice I'm actually also going to highlight this massive clip at the end. I'm just gonna hit delete On my keyboard or backspace So I just want to make it easier to work with I three independent clips now Also because my clips are quite small now You can actually go down to this bar at the bottom of your timeline click and drag you can go back and forth if there's a Lot of things in your workspace. You could have a video That's an hour long after all with lots of splices and changes made to it So I'm gonna go to the little node at the end of it And I'm gonna click and drag it inward like this, so I'm zooming right in on the clip It's not making my clips longer, but make make no mistake there It's actually just zooming in so I can see the milliseconds a little bit easier You can also if you're using a laptop like I am now you can kind of pinch your Control pad that you use for your mouse to move it in or out whichever you prefer So I'm going to click and drag these clips around and as you can see now that I'm moving them They're no longer in the order they were because oh I mean hangover curious lads And you can do that for as many clips as you want That's how you rearrange clips and splice them in it when you're making a short film or or whatever, so You know pizza There's the girl in bed. I can do that anyway. I want however when you are moving your clips around do make sure that you Don't leave gaps as I said That gap in between the two yellow lines that tells you that that's just gonna be No sound no anything So make sure that everything is connected and you'll know it's connected when if you move the clip over It'll automatically leave that kind of a thin black vertical line to show you the magnetic Magnetic to each other rather so they clip on to each other if you drag it even more so over you can see the opacity there It's transparent. It's actually moving on top of the other clip and if I let go it actually wish I Part of that clip so you don't want that I'm gonna hit control Z to go back and undo if you ever do something that you make a mistake Control Z to undo or if you're on a Mac like not like I am I'm on a PC use command Z So command Z for Mac controls E for PC or else alternatively go up to file Where or edit rather which is Psi file and you read under editor you have undo or redo or whatever Please and so yeah, try and keep them separate so they're not overlapping Next thing I want to show you is how to delete without having a splice if you want to just So I don't say I don't Just want to start with him Taking the pizza out of the fridge You can actually move your mouse over the edge of the clip like it is here and it'll turn to a red Kind of bracket arrow icon if I click and drag it in I've deleted the part of here Say I don't like that I can either edit undo as I said or you can just click and drag it back out So that's pretty handy to have I'm actually going to show you something else also by the way when you're working your timeline You can see this kind of thin blue line going around that panel that tells you this is the active panel There's four different panels as I said whichever panel you are currently clicked into will be the active one of the blue line And tell you that you can do things in there So if I was to click into the content bin panel now, this is lit up blue instead And if I was to double click on one of my pieces of content They will appear in the preview above so I can kind of preview them and if I hate hit spacebar now It doesn't play the one on the top right anymore because I'm in a different panel if I'm in this panel I'm active and I hit spacebar it plays this PNG image This is a bad example though, of course because this is a still image So it doesn't move But if I was to double click on my video at any point and how you're in a lookalike outside spar Now my who's the guy playing with the spacebar as opposed to my output on the top right So just figured that might be something you might need to know So the next thing I really want to Drag my ticker Say I want to give him a name I want to give him a lower third like in Ortea news where it comes up at the bottom Brian Dobbson or T news or whatever That's what I have over here. This PNG image right here is a lower third the DCU TV official lower third So I'm gonna click and I'm gonna drag that over as you can see it appears now in another channel as a pink Pink strip and I'm not gonna put this on top of it over the clip Rather because as you can see it's opacity again. You can see transparent if I let go It it literally just gets rid of him altogether So I'm gonna go control and do as I said don't put things on top of each other, but rather above So now this is what the other channels are used for so I'm now on v2. I'm gonna put this above directly above him See now I have a And Because everything works in layers in them both premier Shop if you're used to that so things are gonna go on top of each other if I was to put him on top of the lower third as you can see See the lower third even though it's clearly in line with my ticker and that is because as I said layers So this layer is on top So now I can see it Name I would have to highlight the clip by clicking it going up to title go to new title default still You can name the title if you want. This isn't the title. It's gonna appear. This is just the name of the piece of content So I'm just gonna leave it a title to it doesn't really matter And as you get to see you get a little box here And this is rather like if you use Microsoft Word or anything like that I can go up to the t-tool here as opposed to the selection tool Which is the most and I can click and draw make a box And I can type in a name so I'm gonna call him Kevin because that is his name and in this title feature You can you have a lot of options here. You can change it in whatever way you want I'm gonna change the font to alternate gothic because that's what I like We're also gonna change the size. I'm gonna size it up here and You can also change the color, but I'm actually gonna leave it white, but yeah, you can play around with these options I'm not gonna go too much into detail because it's something that you can kind of play around with and see see I'm gonna go to the move tool here and click and drag Kevin to bring the name down I'll put it just over the lower third now that I'm finished. I can just hit X and close out of it And as you can see it appears here in the contents bin. I now have I Now have what's it comes up in the lower third Here we go I have Kevin so I can click and drag that in again. Don't put it over it But above not over above because it will delete it and I says it's a case of layers So when you have it like this Kevin should appear above the lower third, which is above the video of him You have a lower third, but it doesn't look like it just sort of Like that then disappearing afterward. I wish I was made it like that So instead I want to put a little bit of white on it like an effect to do that I'm going to go up to effects, which is located at the top just after color and before audio Then I'm going to go over to my effects panel here. You've loads of different folders of different effects in them I'm just actually going to do a quick search because you can search the effect you want as opposed to going through every effect in Every folder that'll take a long time. So I'm going to type in wipe. That's what I want And as you can see there's a lot of different wipes here video transitions wipes, so we band wipe barn door Gradient wipe in set. I'm going to go right down at the bottom and just use a regular wipe What you do this effect is you click and you drag it and you bring it over and you put it on top of the clip at the Beginning so it wipes in as you can see my mouse is blinking green there. That means that I'm applying the effect So I'm going to let go The word Kevin there you might have saw it wiped in however you because there's two different layers as you can see Channel one and channel two or v2 and v3. I have to put the wipe on both So I'm going to click and drag that also put it on to the lower third So now if I bring to the starting plate It wipes in as you can see all you also need to Wipes out as opposed to disappearing so I'm going to go over click and drag bring it down here Put to the beginning at the end of that click rather the end of the lower Now it should wipe in I wish I was made of pizza to let you know that's not going to be a very smooth clip But once we've exported the video that will be very very smooth So after you've applied that effect It should play I'm actually going to turn my sound back on Brilliant so as I was saying earlier you can also move your mouse over the beginning of a clip And it'll have a red bracket arrow icon and if I click and I drag that in I can make my Lower third shorter instead of lasting five seconds. It'll last maybe three Again remember So I want the same length I'm going to click and drag that in and click and drag that one in so that they are It is like don't mind that if you need to render something a particular clip So this you can render everything by going up to Sequence at the top and then hitting render, but you have a lot of render options I don't want to render the whole clip because that bar will come up and it'll have to render for a good while instead I want to just render This tiny clip here. That's red highlight the clip. They want to render go up to sequence and then render selection But I don't need to do that just yet. That's just how you would do it What I want to show you now is I'm going to delete the wipe on it so that I can show you this otherwise It's a little bit awkward with the white Is how to sort of animate with The lower third and how we're going to do that is I'm going to click here at the beginning I'm going to use my left and right arrow keys as I said to get the exact frame Where the lower third appears and there it is. That's where it appears. I'm going to zoom in to make it easier for myself I'm going to go up to editing again. We're still on effects effect control within editing and Highlight the clip Let's talk to the lower third as you can see here. You have motion FX motion now This is quite like a maths function, right? We're going to open this and we're going to go to this two stopwatches scale and position The scale right now is 100 because it's 100% This is how big it normally is and the position is currently the coordinates that it is on So I'm going to hit the scale stopwatch and the position stopwatch to make them both blue Now this allows me to have these key points and we're going to key frame with this So what I'm going to do now is it registers now that this first frame of the clip is the first key point The next thing I'm going to do is move my ticker all the way to the last frame I'm going to use my arrow keys again to find the exact frame and there's the last one we found Right before it disappears and what we're going to do now while it's still in the blue stopwatches We're going to make the scale bigger I'm going to also change the positioning so that it goes up here To the right you can move it that way So now when I Go towards you And if I want to make the Kevin move along with it as well I did the exact same thing so I'm going to go up to motion again I'm going to hit position and scale. I'm going to go to the end of the clip Use my arrow keys to find the exact part But make sure now you have the exact same Waypoints for it. So I'm just going to copy what the other one was the other one is scale 176 So we're going to change this to 176 And if I look back at it, it was 1945 and minus 153 so it should be 1945 and Minus one five three Brilliant so now That's a little bit of animating involved in Premiere You can do that with any image you want you can get a picture of a puppy if you want to have a float over the screen You can animate with multiple images at once as well. That's why all the different channels are for You aren't you are not limited to just v1 v2 v3 if I click and drag an image and put it above v3 Before suddenly appears so you can actually enhance it. You can have as many channels as you really want Next thing I'm going to show you the actual audio itself So if I hover my mouse in between a two and a one where I have the one Audio track from the video. I have this double blue double black arrow icon I'm going to click and I'm going to drag that border down By doing so it extends the size of the a1 channel and when I do that I can see all the spikes within my video There's a line. There's a left and right channel within it as you can see L and or Two sets of spikes which are about the same size and that's because they are the exact same sound But one comes out the left and right channel. So if you're wearing headphones, it'll come out your left ear and your right ear Which is pretty cool in between separating them if I move my mouse again You'll get another double black arrowed line as you can see There's a bar and if I click and drag that bar up and down as you can see like that You'll get a little notification there that says the decibel level. So it was originally on 0.00 decibels Which is the kind of the standard there if I drag down its minus and I could bring it up. It's higher It's on 5.63 now. That is how loud essentially it is. So if I want to make it really hit play I wish I was made out of pizza Or if I want to make it very quiet bring it right down to nothing and there's nothing so that that can change How loud you want it if you wanted to gradually fade and this is kind of interesting is that you can go over to the pen tool here in your Partial box Keyboard shortcut is P if you want to just hit P on your keyboard or click over here My mouse now turns to the tip of the pen if I move my pen and bring it over to the Decibel level line. I can make it fade out by clicking and making these little points along anywhere I want and by doing so I can change I can click and drag and Maneuver the sound so it goes up and down in levels as you can see so If I want to just make it gradually fade down like so And maybe I want to fade up at the end then it makes this curve so it should get Quiet and then loud again. So let's drag it over here and hit play That's a very bad example because it's so Short but if I move it over here, maybe just make a better example. I'm going to make another low point here Let's see it get enough pizza quiet enough pizza To loud to quiet so you can make a wave that way I won't go into too much detail. You can probably guess exactly how that works there So you can make a nice clean line. I'm going to go back to the V key and bring it back to the selection tool now One thing actually I'm not sure if I mentioned I may as well mention again Just in case is you can you don't have to just move clips one at a time like so You can in fact highlight multiple clips and drag them so I can drag everything I want and move them Pretty handy Just like that and that's essentially the basics of manipulating your image if you would like to Save as you go and I would always recommend saving as you go because if God forbid Premiere Pro crashes You could lose most of your saved content So make sure you save as you go by going up to file and hitting save or save a copy to your desktop It's always easy. Just if it's on your desktop, you can find it And also keyboard shortcut is control s if you hit control s a Little box will appear saying that it is saving if you're on a Mac. It's command s so PC control s Mac command s so save as you go and then if you want to Export your video. You just want to hit Control m on your keyboard or command m if you're a Mac user or else go up to file and go down to export and Then you can export that way. So I'm going to show you the export settings now It's another pretty easy thing export is here. I'm gonna go to export media and This box will appear as you can see so you have a preview on your left like so and on your right you have loads of buttons and switches and digits and coding and whatnot so Do not fear all of this if you look at the top of your format H.264 is what you want H.264 is Has a quite a relatively low bit rate, but it's pretty solid if you're putting something on YouTube This is one of my preferred formats to use especially if it's just a short like two minute video or whatever Next thing you want to go look at your output name your output name is here It is blue you can click and change that and you can also change the destination You are saving to I would always recommend that you save to a specific folder and remember or to the desktop even or somewhere You'll remember because if you just export and forget where you've actually Saved your project to then it will export the final video somewhere on your computer And you won't be able to find it and it's really awkward then so just make sure you know where you're saving it to I'm going to use Maximum render quality at the bottom so that's nice and smooth and then you just hit export and when you're exporting your media You'll get a sign saying how long will take it could take one minute It could take an hour depending on how long the video is and how much Effects and whatnot you've put in so that's the basics. We're going to go through today Thanks for tuning in. Hopefully we'll have another tutorial very soon
