About This Class

Learn Adobe Premiere Pro 2026 and go from a blank timeline to a finished, professional video — even if you've never opened the software before.

This course teaches you how to edit with confidence: cutting footage, building smooth transitions, color grading like a pro, mixing clean audio, and using the AI tools built into Premiere Pro 2026, including auto captions and background removal. You'll also learn multi-camera editing, motion graphics, and the exact export settings for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and client work.

Every lesson is short, focused, and hands-on. You'll work with real practice footage and project files, building your skills step by step without sitting through hours of filler. Each technique is explained clearly, including the small details and common mistakes.

By the end, you'll complete a full project from raw footage to final export — a real piece of work you can add to your portfolio. You'll have the skills and confidence to edit your own content or take on client work.

1. Welcome! Start here: Welcome to Adobe Premiere beginner to advance. The complete course that takes you from a total beginner to confidently editing professional polish videos from start to finish. This course is for anyone who has ever opened premiere and felt lost or for someone who hasn't opened it yet, but knows that they need to. If you wanted to create videos that look professional but didn't know where to start, you're in the right place. This course is built differently. Over 1,000 student reviews were analyzed across top premiere pro courses to find exactly what people struggle with, what they search for, what's missing, everywhere else. Every lesson in this course exists for a reason, and anything that didn't make the cut was left on purpose. You won't just learn to click buttons. The techniques here come from real experience. Years of creating content for social media and delivering video work for clients at a level that generated millions of views and results. The tips you'll pick up are textbook theory. They're the kind of things I learned by actually doing the work professionally. I've had a privilege of teaching over 10,000 students across the world. With hundreds of five ser reviews from people who used these exact skills in real projects. Over 27 focus lessons. You'll learn how Premiere Pro works, how to cut, and structure and edit, how to calibrate, mix audio, at titles, motion graphics, and how to use AI tools. In the final project, you'll bring it all. Thing is current and kept as concise as possible. So you get exactly what you need without sitting through dozens of hours of feeler. I recommend watching videos in order because every lesson builds into the previous one. You can control the volume and the playback speed of every video you learn at your own pace. If you get stuck we need any help, drop your questions below. Just make sure to check the existing questions first because there's a good chance that the question you want to ask has already been answered in detail. At some point, you'll be asked to leave review. Please wait until you've had a chance to really experience the material. You honest feedback helps improve the course and better serve you and future students. Thanks again for joining this class. I'm genuinely excited to help you build real premier skills and to give you the confidence to edit videos for your own projects or clients based. Let's jump into the first lesson. 2. Premiere Pro Interface Tour for Beginners: So let's begin by pressing Option Command N or Control Alt N in order to create new project. The project name will be untitled and the location will be a default location. And we'll talk about this soon in the next few videos about how to organize this. But for now, let's just create new project by clicking Create. We'll be taking to the Import window, but I prefer to go into the edit window. Now, what we have in front of us is called a workspace, and your workspace might look slightly differently from mine because we have a number of different workspace. So if you're going into the top recording, we have the essentials here, but we have also Sorto, a vertical, learning, and all sorts of other workspace. What is a workspace. Workspace is just a bunch of panels put together. So, for example, like this panel or window, we can call it, whatever, it doesn't really matter. So this is like a window. This is a window, this is a window. And then we can switch between different windows because they are put together, we can switch here as well. And the good thing about is that we can customize our workspace. Like if I drag my cursor in between the two panels, I can move the panels around, make them a little bit higher, and I can make it really weird. I can close something. So let me click on close. Okay. This looks really weird. How do we go well, to go into the essentials and click on Reset to saved layout. So if you ever do something weird, like customize you don't know where things went, just come here, click on Reset to saved layout. Now, let's say we close one of the windows like that, and it's like the program monitor is very important because that's going to be the monitor that's going to visually show us what's happening on screen. If you close it, you will not be able to see things. So how do you get that back? We need to go into Window and click on Pro monitor. There it is, and they'll be back. Another great thing here is that we can drag it by the name and then drag it, let's say, to the right or to the left, and we'll have this highlight. It's highlighted in blue. So if I want to put it here, for example, I'll just put it there and it will be put there. Now, I can put it back, like so and then customize this to whoever I like. Now, how does this usually work? So on the left, we have this project panel. This is where we will add our files. In front of us over here in the program monitor, we are going to visually see what's happening. At the bottom, this is our timeline. This is where we'll put our clips. This is the place where we customize them, where we will apply certain effect. And on the right, this is the place where we will control the effects, like, for example, controlling their intensity or controlling the movement of certain layers. That's where this is going to happen. You don't have to remember every single thing because as we go, we will learn and explore new ways to work in certain workspaces and windows. So for now, I'm just letting you know what exists, but you don't have to remember every single thing because you will learn this by practicing doing the work. If you go into the workspaces, have different workspaces. We have the color, the effects. So if I go into the color, it's going to look slightly different. If I go into audio, it's going to be even more different. Each workspace is customized specifically for specific task. So if I once again, go into the color, we have the metro scopes. So if I add something here, we'll see, we have the metro scopes. We'll talk about this a little bit later. We don't have to know every single thing right now. Just remember that we have different workspaces. We can customize the workspaces. If you close something, go into window open here, and if you want to reset something to the save layout, just click here, it's going to be reset and you'll be back to normal. If you have any questions let me know that let's jump into the next. 3. Setting Up Your First Project & Sequence: Now in this video, we're going to input the footage, set up your project, and learn sequence settings. A lot of confusing wording, I know, but let's jump to premiere. So I have this video that I will literally just drag and drop into the project and it's going to appear. In order to influence the project or work on it, customize it, we need to create the sequence. A sequence is a place where we have a number of different files, and we'll basically have it at the bottom. We have a number of ways we can create. We can click on this button here, click on sequence, and we have a number of presets here that we can use, which is pretty useful. So if you're going to, for example, HD, open that up, and let's have HD, let's say, 25 frames. We can click on a K and it's going to create a sequence. And now we have this timeline at the bottom where we can drag our clip, for example, here, and start working. But Quid person commands at two and two. Let's click on sequence and open that up again. If we go into the settings, here's where we can put settings manually. And this is what I prefer to do because I want something super specific. So I want 1920 by 1080 or 1080 by 1920. It's resolution that works really well for social media. And in terms of the frame rates, I like to put it to 30. What's the difference? Well, the difference is how smooth the video is going to be. 60 frames per second, which is the maximum that we can set is very smooth. But the problem is that when you upload this video to social media, social media is going to compress the video. In other words, make it way less megabytes or gigabytes because they want to save as much space as possible. Which means 60 frames per second will come to 30 or even less. So that's why I don't like to put it to 60. It also looks a little bit too. 30. It's like the industry average. And then there's also another one that you've heard 24. That's what movies use. Why do they use it? It's because it allows camera to add motion blur. You know, it's this very kind of interesting looking blur in the videos that the lower the frame rate, the more the blur is going to be. I always work in 30 because kind of it's the average. It's really consistent, it's really good. And you also have to understand that if you put it to 60, it's going to eat more powerful your computer because you have double the framer. It's than 30. So thing. In terms of frame size, this is ful h D. This is really good quality. This is more than enough for social media. If you want incredibly sharp image, you can certainly do it. You can put four K. So if you going into the sequence presets, then let's open this up, and let's say four k, 25 frames. So it's going to be 38 40 by 21 60, big resolution. It's important to understand that it's not just double the resolution. It's four times the resolution because if we do the math, then that's basically how it works. This is how I work. I put it to 30 and I said 1920 by 1080 or 1080 by 1920. So this one is horizontal, but we can put vertical, so we can do 1080 by 1920, and literally just press K. This is if we do it manually. If we don't want to do it manually, there's another way to do it. So I'm going to delete the sequence. And I'm going to literally just drag this video down, drop it here and going to create a sequence the same size as our footage and the same frame rates as our footage, so that if I go into sequence settings, it's going to be 1080 by 1920, and then this weird frame rate. That's because that was recorded on an iPhone. That's why we have this weird frame. There's another way to do it. We can go into file. Here's what you'll see. You'll see that we have a number of different shortcuts. So in my case, it's Command N. And if I click on Command N, I don't have to go into File New sequence. So let's say I'm here and a person command N, it's going to create new sequence. This will be super useful if you want to learn shortcuts, which we'll have another video about because it will save you dozens and hundreds of hours of editing just because of the shortcuts. We have number of ways to do it. But for this video, I'm just going to drag and drop it, and we have a sequence. So if you have a questions, let me know, a let's jump into the next video. 4. Essential Editing Tools: Razor, Selection, Slip & Slide: Now that we've added our footage, let's talk about the essential editing tools. In the bottom left screen, we have a lot of different tools. But we're not going to talk about every single tool. We'll learn them as we go. But for now, let's talk about the essentials. So first of all, we have the selection tool. You'll see that at the end, we have a shortcut called V, really useful. Then we have this other tool called Razor. The shortcut is C, as you can see at the end. So if I get my curs a little bit to the right, I'll still be able to switch between them by pressing C or just using the keys. Now, the razor tool is really useful because we can cut our clip. So if I get to the video, we have this blue highlight on the clip it click on CAT, it's just going to make a cut. And I can cut this video to as many pieces as I want. Then if I click on V to select the selection tool, select a few videos and then move them to the right or I can move just one video or I can move two videos, and I can move them in proportion to each other like that. Really, really useful. Another useful tool is a Track select forward tool. The shortcut is A, if I click on it. What it does is it selects everything to the right of our cursor or to the left of our cursor. So if I click, it's going to select everything to the right or if I click here or here or here or here, even if we had 1,000 layers to the right, it would still select. In person Shift A, and it's going to do the opposite thing. So we can select everything that's to the left of a certain point. Another tool that's super useful is the pen tool. So we can draw something on the screen. If I start drawing, it's just going to draw it. But I'm going to click on V, selected, click onto it. Then we have the shape tool that allows us to draw interesting shapes with it. So if I come to an empty space, it's a little bit easy to see. Then we have the hand tool that allows us to just kind of take everything and move in the timeline or we can move our program monitor. But then if we want to put it back to the center, we just click on Fit and will fit it back to the screen. We have the slip tool as well. The slip tool allows us to move the clip under certain time in the sequence. So for example, this clip starts at 32 53, and it ends at 36 17. If I selected, click on Command R, it will tell us that the duration of this clip is 3 seconds and 24 milliseconds. So we have clip that's 324. By clicking on Y and selecting the slip tool, I'm able to move which part of the clip is presented within this time frame. So I can move it, for example, if I scroll to the right. Going to be the equivalent of me just, for example, for this clip, moving to the right and then making it like that so that we get to the beginning of the clip. So this one starts at the very beginning and this one starts at the very beginning, just like we have in the beginning. Now, once again, don't have to remember every single tool all the time. If I forget something, can always ask AI, what the tool does. But most of the tools are pretty straightforward. The selection tool selects thing. Lecting forward to backwards, pretty straightforward as well. We have this ripple tool as well, it allows us to, like, move certain things here and there. And I just recommend to come here and spend 5 minutes playing around with it, like, clicking around, making mistakes, you know, closing some panels and things like that. It's going to be much, much better than just watching me do stuff. So come here, play around, click on the buttons, and if you have any questions, let me know. And that, let's jump into the next video. 5. Organizing Bins & Project Structure: In this video, I'll share how to structure and organize a project. First of all, when we create a project, I'm going to press on option command to create a new project, and I will not put it into the default location, and I will not give it a default name. Reason is because if we set it to the default location, this is where it'll be saved. It will be saved to Adobe Premiere Pro, autosave. A number of different auto saves here. Now, at some point, when I was starting out, I had, I believe, like three or 4,000 auto saves and it was a headache to find anything in these folders. So that's why I recommend you to create specific folders for specific projects. By the way, it will also save your project here, which is also not really convenient. So here's how to do it. I'm going to create a folder somewhere in the desktop and give it a name. Let's call it like Premiere Pro project. Then I'll create a folder with the name of the project. In this case, it's going to be like project number 13, right? Or you can give it specific the realtor video. Then I would create a number of different other folders, like for example, downloads in order to save all the downloads the exports, which we'll talk about in one of the future videos, put the raw files here, and then we have the project files. And then we have Premiere Pro and after effects because that's where I'll be saving the project. So in this case, I have to give it a specific name, let's call it test video, and I will choose location. I can click on Browse, click on specific location, and click on Select and then create a project. Now our project is going to be saved through that specific folder. In this case, it also does the auto saves so that things are a little bit more organized. You don't have to break your head when searching for a specific auto save. This is really great. Now, when we come to the premiere itself, and let's say we drop some of the videos here, here's how I organize things. First of all, I'm going to create a sequence and we'll have another file for the sequence. So the first files going to be the rough footage. The sec one is the sequence. Let's make it cut so that this video is shorter. You can see it's 938. This one is 25. So now we need to create folders here and organize them. There's a couple of ways to do it. We can either create a folder by clicking on this button or you can press Command set and then drag our file to the folder, and it will be put folder. Well, there's a way to do shortcuts, which I will show you how to do in the future. In this case, let's just drag it here or we can select multiple files. By the way, we can select them and put them into one folder. But in this case, let's put it into the folder and call it sequence. For this file, I'm going to drag it, call it raw. Then I would create another folder and call it files or call it Ban whatever so that whatever files you d you download something from the Internet, you can just put us in the folder, organize it, and it's going to be great. Next, there's a couple of ways that we can view this information. Can click on the List view, and it's going to be a list, so we can open each folder and see what's inside of it, or we can click on this button, which is what I prefer, or we can click on the free form, which we can move around however we want. But honestly, I really don't like. This is really messy. This is a little bit too small. We don't have the visual representation. But here, if I take a double click, I can also preview. If I want to go back to the previous folder, I just click here and I can increase or decrease things inside. So if we go backwards, that's how I organize my files. If you have any questions, let me know. Then let's jump into the next video. 6. Adding & Styling Text in Premiere Pro: Welcome. In this video, we can talk about adding and styling text. So I'm going to come into Premiere, click on Command and to create new composition, go into the settings, and I'm going to put 1920 by 108030 frames per second. Click on Okay. Now, in order to add text, we need to click on Textol and start typing text. Let's type it. Text. And in order to customize text, we need to go into the Properties panel. If you have it go into Window and properties, we need to select our text. Zoom in. Click on the text in the Properties panel, and here we can customize it. We can add a different font. Like, for example, one of my favorite fonts, it's called Inter. It's a very similar font to what Apple uses, which is SFP, and I'm going to put it to bold. Now we can customize the color of the text. We can add a stroke to it. Let's do like this. I'm going to create a new color mat. It's basically like background color. So I'm going to put it like so, and I'm going to drag the text above it so that we can see the text. So there you go. Now we have it. Let me click on text, and if I change the stroke to another color, increase it, you'll see what we get. There you go. Next, we can add a background to the text. So if I disable the stroke and add a background, let's make it black, make it to 100% in terms of the opacity. Then increase it a little bit and round the edges, there good. This is the text effect that you oftentimes see on social media. Then we can add a shadow to the text. So if I disable the background, this is the shadow that we have disable enable it. There we go. Critical here to fit the screen back to 100%, and we can align the text to the middle. We can change its position. And if we go to the effet Control panel, we'll see that we have the customization that we can do here and we can change the position of the text here. But then we can change the position of the motion. Then we can change if we go into vector motion, there's another like we can change the position. So what does this all mean? The difference between this is that this is the text, and this is the position of the text itself. If we scroll down to the motion, this is the motion of the whole layer. So actually, what we can do is we can add another text here. So if I click on the textol or just press on T, and by selecting this text layer, I'm going to start typing text two, for example, we'll have two texts. So here we go. If I change the motion, both of them are going to move because I control the motion of the whole layer. But if I change the text position specifically, so this is the text one, for example, I can change it separately. And then for the vector motion, again, both of them are going to move together because it's the graphic. Now, all this means for you is just there's ways to move the text around and customize it, and we'll talk about it in the next videos as well. But you don't necessarily have to know every single thing in order to work with text. Now, if I go back to properties, and I'm going to click on text two and click Delete to delete it, I'm going to scroll down. Here we have a couple of things. So we have linked style. We have it set to non because we have no linked style, but you can actually save certain styles. So in the beginning, remember our text look completely differently. And if I click on this button here, I'm going to create a style. I can give it to name. I can save it to the project and save it to local styles. I don't like saving it to projects. I don't really see a value in that because if I save it to local styles, it will kind of automatically be saved to the project as well because I'll be able to apply it. So let me call this test example text. Remember this name and click on. If I click on the open Styles browser, we'll have a number of texts. This is the test example text. You can add all sorts of styles. For example, you can click on this style, and our text is going to change or we can click here, and you don't have to customize it every single time. It's going to be customized easily by clicking a button. Now, if you want to get rid of some of the texts, you cannot actually get rid of it here. If I right click, there's no way to delete it. So what you have to do is to go into Finder, go to documents Adobe Common Assets, textiles. And there you have your textiles. So a look, this is the one that we had test example. Text. Perfect. Let's find it. So this is the one test example. Text. I want to get rid of that, right click and going to delete it from here. Once you delete from here, when I come to Premiere Pro, as you saw, it just disappeared. So this is how you customize text. If you have any questions, let me know. Let's jump into the next video. 7. Text Animation with Keyframes: In this video, I'd like to show you how you can animate your text with keyframes. But first of all, what is the keyframes? Well, keyframes. If I click on text, let me go to the effect Control panel. Let me close the vector motion, the text, let's animate the motion of the whole text. Actually, before that, I'll go into properties and I will center my text by clicking on this button. So this is centered horizontally, and this is vertically. Now, I'm going to go back to the Effects control. And here we number of stopwatches. Whenever you have a stopwatch, it means you can animate that property. So for example, if I click on a stopwatch, I'm going to create a keyframe. And we're just basically telling at this time, this text effect has these properties. Actually, let me move this a little bit to the side so that we can see it a little bit better because we were not able to see the number 54 So we're just telling at this time, we have these values, but if I scroll a little bit further to, let's say, 1 second and six milliseconds, I'm going to create another keyframes. And I can change the position of the text to let's say here. I go back, we're going to change the position. Now, we don't necessarily have to create a keyframe here, like click on this button to you can just start changing the position and it's going to change here as well, and if I go back, there you go. We have exactly the same thing. Now, this is really important because if you ever want to animate text on a video, this is the foundation. A lot of videos and social media movies are animated, and the way you animate text is literally by doing this. But once again, remember, you can go into the text or into the vector motion and put keyframes here as well. The interesting thing is that if let's say we animate the position to go, let's say to the right, but then we create a keyframe here, and then I will make sure it goes back to the middle, it will kind of stay almost like in the middle because this keyframes is telling, Hey, go to the right, and this keyframes is go to the left, so we'll kind of stay in the middle. So this is just an interesting work that we can work with. Now it's important to note that we can animate anything like this, so it doesn't have to be text only. We can animate, for example, if we create a shape, Dergm we can put a keyframes and then change the position of the shape, for example. Or if you have a video, then we can dig the video here, drop it then click on it, put keyframes in, go a little bit to the front, change the position, and there you go. The video will change the position as well. So you can animate a lot of things with it. So that's how you do it. If you have any questions that let's jump into the next video. 8. Text Behind Object Effect Tutorial: This video, also, you have to put text behind an object. It's actually incredibly simple to do. But if you jump into Premiere, you have to understand how it works. Basically, we need to have three layers. We have one layer where it's going to be myself. Then we have the text that's going to be linked behind me, and then we have a background. We have to put text in between myself and the background so that the text appears behind me but in front of the background. Video is an example that I'm going to drop here, which you also have access to, and I'm going to drag it down. Now, we have only video of myself. So let's write some text on the screen, click so and then put it in front of my head so that when we cut out my head, the text is going to be behind me. So now we have two layers. We have our text layer, and then we have our video layer. And in order to put text in front of me, we basically need to cut myself out from the background. How do we do it? Well, I'm going to click on option and click on the video and then drag the video up, and I'm going to continue clicking option so that we make a copy. So hold option, and I lift my finger up from the mouse so that we make a copy. Now, I'm going to shorten this clip up by selecting the razor tool, clicking cut and then deleting the second part because it doesn't need to be this long. We can make it just the length of the text. So I'm going to click on the video and then I'm going to select the object mask tool, and it's going to automatically select an object. And all I have to do is to click on track the selected mask forward and backwards. In this case, we can do just forward. So I'm going to click on this button. It's going to do the analysis. I'm not even cutting, it's doing it that fast. And once it's done that, click on the Object mask tool, right click and change to opacity mask. And there you go. We have text behind my head. Now, we can put anything behind there. Like, we can put, you know, like a shape. So I just have to zoom in a little bit, to put the video of myself a little bit higher and then put the graphic behind myself. And we can put anything like logos or animations, not the video there. This is basically how you do it. If you have any questions, let me know, let's jump into the next video. 9. Motion Graphics Templates & Lower Thirds: In this video, we'll talk about the central graphics, motion graphic templates, and lower thirds. So once again, I'm going to come into Premiere and I'm going to create a new sequence. 1920 by 108030 frames per second. Then click on Okay. We're going to click on fit the screen? Let's draw something on screen. Let's create some sort of like a rectangle, and I'm going to put it in the bottom left corner because what is a lower third? A lower thirds is a presentation of a person, of an object that just pops up in the bottom left corner of the screen or in another corner that helps us understand what the video is about or what the object is about, or it just helps us to understand something a little bit better. It's like a name tag or tag. Under the same shape, I'm going to click on the Type tool and I'm going to start tapping, and let's type lower third and just click somewhere else to disable it. I'm going to click on VB and make it a little bit smaller, and I'm just going to zoom in with my mouse and put it roughly like this, make it a little bit bigger. Perfect. And click on fit. Now, the interesting thing is that once again, as I told you before motion. And if I control the motion, both of them are going to move. And we can do a quick animation, so I can click on the position keyframes. This is going to be the final keyframes, so I'm going to move it a little bit to the front. In the very beginning, I'm going to lower it down so that it disappears from the screen so that we have it going up, and then we can create another keyframes, and then we can go to the front and then lower it down. So let's take a look at what we have, actually. Let's keep a bit more space here so that's not fast. Now, what if you create some sort of lower third, the graphic in animation, and you don't want to recreate it every single time from scratch? Well, there's a way to save it. And it's a thing called MgartO in other words, motion graphics template. So the way we do it is when you select a Lower third or whatever graphic you create, right click Export as motion graphic template. Click on that. We to give it a name. Let's call test and save it to the local templates folder. Save it right there. You can set your own space if you want to set, but the local template folder is great. Set a check mark here because we do want to preview visually how it's going to look. But then for these other two, I don't really need to know about this. I mean, if you work with motion graphic templates, pretty often, you change things in your projects, change the phones, things like that, yes, you can set that, but most of the time, you don't really need that because if you set projects yourself, you use kind of the same project, the same fonts, it's not going to disappear all of a sudden. So I don't set these and click now that it exported it, we need to go into graphic templates. But if you don't have it, remember, go into Window and graphic templates. Now, we have these previews. We can decrease them in size if you want. I prefer when it's very small, or we can increase so that we see what we have. And there you go. This is the animation that we created. And if I move the cursor, you'll see that it even shows the animation of how it goes. That's exactly what we created here. So if I delete it, and then I can just drag it onto the screen, see what we have. We have exactly the same animation. But now we don't have to create from scratch. We already have a tape. But now, if I click on the FX button, we'll see that it has exactly the same keyframes. Then if we go into the properties, now we can customize it. So instead of low with art, let's say, I can say something like John if we want to give it a name. And then I can move John closer to the middle of the screen, and there you go. Now John is going to move with a graphic. There are websites like motion array, artless infatu elements, where you can download these templates and then put them in here, although those are paid or if you don't want to download those, you can just create them, save them, and use them. You don't have to pay. That's how you do it. If you have any questions, let me know at let's jump into the next video. 10. Auto Captions in Premiere Pro: Welcome. In this video we can talk about auto captions, specifically how to create them, sell them and customize them in bulk. I'm going to drop a video of me and going to drop it into the sequence is going to create the sequence of the size of the video. I'm going to cut it a little bit, and I'm going to go into the window and text. It's going to automatically transcribe the text, and we need to read through the text to make sure that everything's okay. So let's take a look. When I was starting out as a video editor, I struggled a lot with what to cut versus what to keep. So I'm going to click on the three dots on this Burger, click on create captions and we'll have this pop up. Now, for social media, usually you want to have word by word. You don't want to have longer phrases. So for the maximum length and characters, I'm going to put these two minimum, and for the lines, I'm going to keep it to single so that we don't have two words on two different lines, and as little characters as possible and you're going to click on Crete. So let's take a look at what we have. I'm going to Zoom in, and it added the captions here at the bottom. Some of them do have two words because, for example, out as, that's going to be just like five characters. So that's why the minimum, we have seven characters. Select the texts and go into the property span, and once again, customize just like we did before. We can set specific style, but this time the track el is going to be at the top. So if I click on it, put whatever I want, and then I can also make it a little bit bigger. I really like this aligned entrance form tool because I can just click on this button. It's going to be put in the middle. And then I can just lower it down a little bit. Like so. So let's quickly take a look. It's already pretty good. Now, this is how we can customize them in bulk. But what if want to create some interesting animations and have many words at the same time. So create animated typography of many text layers. Well, you know to do that, we just select our text, go into graphics and titles and upgrade captions to graphics. And now our captions are going to be as graphics. As captions because captions go one after the other. But with graphics, you can put them on top of each other. So let's take a look. Let me zoom in a little bit. So we have one I starting and we have each word go one after the other. But in this case, I would like to put one I on the lower level, keep this one here, and this one put a little bit higher. Now, for the voz, I'm going to make it a little bit longer and make this one a little bit. Ally, I'm going to keep them the same length, for example. All of them are going to be on the screen, and now we can customize each and every one. I'm going to disable these tracks by clicking on the eye icon so that I can see only this track and I can, let's say, put it a little bit higher. We can make it big, put it like that so that we can put it behind myself, then enable this track and, and then the word starting out. Let me enable the track as well, put it a little bit lower, and we can shorten these up a little bit. And I when I was starting. Obviously, it doesn't look pretty right now, but we have to play around with it a little bit. We can add the animations like what we did before with you, so we can put a keyframes in, for example, for the position of the text, move it a little bit to the front. We can put the keyframe here. This one, get out of the screen and have the animation. So OT looks a lot more professional than if we had zero text. And the great thing about is that you can still select all the captions, go into the properties, and then customize. If you don't like the style, you can change the font. So we we can make it black and every single caption is going to be updated. When we do it like this, we're not able to change the track style because this is not the track anymore. They're on different tracks. There are captions. There are graphics at this time, but we can always just pressing Command Z, for example, pressing Command Z multiple times to go back even more. So now we can select it here, and then we can change the style to, for example, this and then do the same thing, captions graphics, update captions to graphics, and the go. So that's how we do it. If you have any questions, let me know and that lease jump into the next video. 11. Smooth Keyframes & Easing Curves: Welcome. In this video, we can talk about smooth keyframes. Specifically, I'm going to draw a shape on the screen. I'm going to put it right in the middle, and then let's go to the essential step. And then in effect control, I'm going to put a keyframe in, go a little bit further, and then just move it. And actually, in the beginning, smooth like this. So if I let it play, the movement that we have is extremely rigid. There's nothing smooth about this. Personally, I don't like it, and in order to make it more expansive, we have to be able to control the smoothness. Well, it's actually pretty easy to do. First of all, we need to click on this button to open up the position. We need to right click temple on ranpllation. For the movement that starts, we need to click on I out and on this movement, we need to click on Is in. And you'll see that the graph changes quite a bit. Instead of it being, like a square, which goes like that. We make it smooth. If I let it play, it's going to become better already, but it's not extremely smooth. It's pretty rigid still. So we can make it even further if I click on the keyframes and let me make this a little bit bigger. We can customize the smoothness of each key frame by dragging these handles like that. So let's see. The moment becomes way much smoother. Let's tile. This looks much, much better. Doesn't work like that only with position, we can customize basically anything we can keyframes, we can make it smooth. So that works the same for the scale. Although for the scale, you'll see that if we increase in size, let's do the same thing is out and then is in, opened up. There's a way to make it a little bit lower, and then the graph changes quite a bit, and that's what happens. So in order for it not to happen, we just need to make sure that we stay on the same level when we do smoothness. So it is quite smooth. So let's cele. Yes, this is good. Now, if I disabled is completely circle, just grows for we can do it with anything we want. We can go into the effects, apply the effects, which we learned a little bit later, then we can apply here. Everything's going to be extremely, extremely smooth. So if you have any questions, let me know. Other than that let's jump into the next video. 12. How to Speed Ramp in Premiere Pro: In this video, we're going to learn how to do speed ramp. Once again, let's come to Premiere, and I will drop these files in. And you have these access in the resources section. Now, these files all have the same resolution and frame rate, so I'm just going to select all of them and then drop them into the composition, and I'm going to make some space between them. So you know to do SpeedRm. Speed fam works with time, and we have to do time remapping. Effect that we can easily apply by coming onto the footage, right clicking on the effects, and then time remapping, click on speed. And there we have the effect. Then we just need to make the strike a lot bigger and let's zoom in a little bit. Now, we need to create two keyframes. Let's create a keyframes here and a keyframes here, for example. If I click between them, this line, we need to drag it up. We're basically saying that, let me mean a little bit more, and I'm going to delete the audio, so I'm going to press on Option or Alt and clickon delete. So we are basically telling you that, at this time, it's going to have a speed of just 100%, but this time, what do we have 16, 20. So we make the speed 16 times faster. Now, we have these two handles which I'm going to smooth out like that. And if I click on one of these things, we can do this graph and make it a little bit smoother. Basically, we're doing something similar to what we did in the previous video with smooth keyframes so that the movement becomes super smooth. Now, let's take a look at what we have. There you go. Now, let's take a look at the second example. I'm going to do exactly the same thing time remapping speed, put the two keyframes in, make it super fast, zoom in a little bit, delete this, make it smooth, and make it even smoother. And let's take a look. Great. Now we just need to increase the speed, and let's see what we have. So it's much better for this video, right? Great. And we can do the same thing for the last video, but you get the idea you know how to do it at this point. Now, for this video, specifically, there's a very interesting effect that we can do. If I click on Option or Alt and then start dragging the footage, it's going to make a copy. W to select this footage, click on Command R, Control R, then click on reverse speed and put the clips together. And let's take a look at the effect. We're going to go backwards and forward. Now, I also didn't cut, like, a small piece of this video. So if I make a cut here and then make a cut here, and then we can make a bit of the faster speed. Basically, we just need to play around and see the effects that we can get so we can cut this up a little bit more and just play around to make the effect super super smooth. I'm going to duplicate this footage, go on or reverse speed, and let's take a look at what we have. Now, these videos are not stabilized and we have a separate video on how to stabilize footage after which we'll be able to stabilize it to make it even smoother. If you have any questions, let me know that let's jump into the next video. 13. Premiere Pro Transitions: Welcome. This video is all about transitions. There are two ways that we can apply transitions. There's native transitions to Adobe, something that we can just go into the effects and apply, and there's third party transitions. I'd like to show you both. So for example, we have two clips here, and we want to create a transition because this video just looks a little bit too rigid. So how do we do it? Can go into the Effects panel, and then we have different presets. We can search for transitions, and we'll have a number of different transitions. These are all native to Adobe. So if you want to apply transition, you just need to drag it from the left. So, for example, this animation, let's go for block motion. Let's apply it, and let's see what we have. Boom. Now, in order to delete it, we can just click on it and then click on Delete. Let's search for some lacrosse dissolve. It's going to be the simplest transition there is, which you can also apply if you're clicking between the two cuts, B preson Command D, it's going to apply transition to the video pressing command and click Shift D is going to apply just to the audio. By pressing Shift D is going to apply to both. And you can explore. Honestly, I don't really use these transitions because the transitions that I use are third party. They're my opinion, much better. So there's a free extension to Premiere Pro, which I would recommend you to download. It's called Animation Composer. And if I go into Window Extensions, click on Premiere Composer, this is the one. I usually keep it here in the top left corner. If I click on Started pack and open this up and click on transitions, these are the transitions that they have. And in order to apply transition, it's pretty easy to do. All you have to do is click on, for example, in the pan. Let's go ahead and click on Apply and there you go, it's going to add the transition. Again, click on Command to Undo and then click on, for example, What do we W? Let's do digital glitch. So click on it, click on Add and let's see. Great. I'm going to click on Command set. And the great thing about Premiere Composer, which you will find very useful doesn't have only transitions. It has text presets, a text boxes, social media animations. So you can do, like, the mouse click or all sorts of, you know, pop ups animations here or there. Like, for example, the heart animation's going to appear on the screen. There it is. You compare the shape element sounds really, really useful. It's one of my favorite extensions for Premiere, and I really recommend you to install it. The link is going to be below. Now, there's also a way to create custom transitions. I can give you a quick example by dragging this transition here, cooking, okay, for example, this flash transition, which is absolutely handmade. I did myself, but I feel like the best thing to do is just to use something that's already pre made the transition make it custom, yes, it can improve the video by 0.1%, but it's not going to make the video better overall. So if you want to make custom transitions, you can certainly do it. But using three D parties that specialize in transitions, is just going to be much, much easier. And if you're ready to invest money into transitions, you can buy transitions, and it's going to save you so much time, and you'll be able to focus on things that will actually matter, like making great video. So if you have any questions, let me know, let's jump into the next. 14. Saving & Installing Presets: Welcome. In this video, we can talk about presets. What are presets? Well, presets are effects that already have certain values. And instead of you reapplying that effect next time you create new project, you can just save that preset and then use those certain values every single time. Especially useful with things that are repeatable. So, for example, if you work with screentots, I worked with lots of screenshots, for example, instead of me creating certain effects for those screentots, certain Zooms, I'm just able to create a preset and then reapply it and I don't have to think about it. So here's how you can create a preset. Let's apply a certain effect, like, for example, Msaic stylized mosaic, I'm going to apply it. Everything is going to become blurry, and there we have the mosaic. And let's say I want to animate the angle of the mosaic. So I'm going to click here, go a little bit to the front, then animate it to, let's say, 360 degrees. So like, one full rotation. And then if I play the video, there you go. We'll have this very interesting now, what if I don't want to do it to search here, apply here, create keyframes. How do I save it? Well, I need to click on the Mosaic Right click, click on Save Preset, give it a name, Mosaic preset. Let's click on. Okay. And then let's say I do another screenshot, so I'm literally just going to do screenshot right now, drop it in here. So this is the screenshot that we have. And if I disable the search on up, there we have our MazicPreset because all the new saved ones are going to be under the preset. So I'm just going to apply here, and there you go. It has exactly the same effect, and we can just do exactly the same thing. Now, it's important to note that when you save a preset, let me click on Save Preset, you have it to scale, anchor to in point or to outpoint. So put it to scale. It means that the video has to be exactly the same length in order for the effect to work exactly the same. If we have keyframes, for example. If you set it to the endpoint, it means that the keyframes are going to move around. Like, if the clip is going to be longer, the animation is going to be proportionally longer. So let's take a look. Let me do another screenshot and then drop it on top. So there we have the and if I make this clip a lot longer, actually, let's make it to 15 seconds. I'm going to put 15, zero, zero, click on a key it's going to be 15 seconds long. Now, if I apply the same effect, mosaic preset, take a look, we will have this keyframes exactly the same relative to the position of this keyframes in exactly the same position relative to the layer length. So if I come here, there you go. You'll see where it's located. It's located at 14 seconds. But then if I click here, it's located in exactly the same position relative to the layer. But if I here. So the key frame is actually at 8 seconds, not at 14 seconds. So that's what happens if you save the preset to the scale. If we save the preset to the ca point, it means that it's only going to be based on the beginning of the clip, which means it's always going to have the same length. And even if the clip is short, it means that emission will not be done in full. If you set it to the outpoint means it's going to be based on the last frame of our clip. So it's just the nuance that it has. So let's click on Okay. Now, it's also important to note that you can save many effects or many presets, many motions, many keyframes. So if let's say I want to decrease the scale a little bit here and I want to save the motion and the mosaic efect. I just need to select both of them by person command. So if I click on Mosaic and then by person command or control, I click on the motion, both of them are going to be selected. If I click on the save preset, both of them are going to be saved in this preset. You can also import and export presets you can buy them online. So if you going into the effects and you right click on the effects, you can click on import presets, export presets, and you can also create new bins like new custom bean, preset bean and you can organize presets the way you want. For example, I have a couple of ones for the slow Zoom. So have slow zoom in and zoom out for 15 seconds, and I have, the position in and out, which means that if I get rid of this and apply the position in, just drop it in. It's going to but it's based on layer size. That's why it looks like the movement is very have the same thing for the screenshots and all sorts of other presets that are used on a daily basis here. So if you want to add something in, click Import presets and just like the certain presets that you'd like to add, and then just click on Open and they'll be open here. And same thing if you want to export and share your presets, you can just export, give it a name and where you want it to be exported, click on Save and you'd be ready to go. So if you have any questions, let me know. At that let's jump into the next video. 15. Congratulations!: Congratulations. If you're watching this, it means you made it halfway through the course content. I know we've covered lots of congratulations to you for making to this point. And there's a lot more valuable content coming soon, but before we get to the next video, I want to simply ask you if the scores gave you value, could it take 60 seconds to leave a quick review? Your feedback helps the next student decide whether the scores will help them, too, and it helps me continue creating better lessons for you. So leave the feedback now. And of course, if there's anything I can help you with, please let me know on the QN section below. You're doing great. Keep going. With that being said, let's get to the next video. 16. Color Correction with Lumetri Color: In this video, we're going to learn how to do color correction. So the way you do it in premiere is you have to open lumetri color. If you don't have lumetric color, you can go into Window and click on ometric color. Alternatively, you can go into Workspaces and click on color. This graph is going to be pretty helpful, so we can actually come here. We need to select our clip, select the vectorscope. So these two graphs are pretty useful because they represent information that we have on our screen. If I move within the video, the information changes here because it's just the same representation of what we have on the screen. L on the right, this is the representation of me, just in terms of the colors in terms of the brightness. So couple of important things. First of all, in terms of the color correction, I think people overcomplicate that, but it's actually pretty simple. You just want to make sure that the colors are pretty correct to what they are in real life. And if you are going for something specific, we'll talk about that in the next video. But in this video, let's just make sure that we have pretty good colors that's well saturated, that it's not super dark or super bright, and we'll go from there. So I'm going to close the creative. And at the metric color, which once again, we have, if you go into Window, loometric color, that's all you need to know will have the same metro color in any workspace. We have the basic correction, and to the basic correction, we need to understand what we have in front of us. So before we customize it in the basic correction, I'd like to create a mask. I'm going to click on the object mask tool and then click on Ellipse mask tool. Click on the clip and then start drawing a mask when I go to the effects, have the Ellipse mask and I'm going to change it to opacity mask, which means that the information that we're going to have in the emetroscopes, are going to be represented over here. If I click in Commands and disable, we're going to have everything back, but I'm going to click. So this line that you see between the yellow and red is the skin color. So when we have the skin color in this line, it means that we have the correct skin colors. Now, if we didn't have that, we need to select our video and then customize and play around with the temperature and the tint. Oftentimes, you can also click on the auto and you're going to do a slight adjustment, and oftentimes it's a pretty good adjustment. And then also does all sorts of other adjustments. So if I click on Command and get rid of the mask, so let's go to the effects, click on the mask and click on if I click on Auto, it's going to do a few ajustons which it does pretty well. Now, if you'd like to customize it further, we can change the temperature to make it colder and, you know, add a little bit of pink or green. This is done in order to set the correct white balance. The way you said a white balance, is you have to find something white on the background and then click on the sweep and, you know, set something like we have here. It's pretty good already, so we don't necessarily have to customize it too much. In terms of the brightness and darkness, we have to take a look at this graph on the left. At 100, it's all the highlights. It's everything that's bright. At zero, it's everything that's dark. So, for example, this part of it here, it's black and something on my arm, it's pretty bright, so it's like at the top, and everything that we have in between is in between. So it's just the way information is presented. Now, we want to make sure that the blacks don't really hit the blacks. Otherwise, we lose the information. So for the automatic correction, did too good of a job. So, for example, if I drag the blacks to a little bit higher, we'll see that the information actually became a little bit better because it's not touching the blacks now. But if you put it to zero, it's like it's barely touching that. So actually, we can put a zero. The automatic selection dig it to minus eight. So let's click on auto again, which I think is a little bit too much because we start to lose information like the dark spots like here, here, and in the shadows. But if I bring it back to zero, we do have a bit of the information in the black. Now, the same for the whites, let's see what it did. So we need to go for highlights, and for the highlights, I think it pushed it a little bit too far. So I actually wouldn't push it, and I keep it at something like zero because it did push it a little bit higher. Click on auto puts it to 20. It's great because it creates more contrast, but at the same time, we lose information when we get to 100. So really, you don't want it to hit the 100, as well as the zeros. So put this one to zero and this one to zero. It's a bit less contrasty but we keep the information. We can add something like vignette. If we go to the bottom, we can make it white or we can make it dark. We can change the midpoint, the roundness of it, and the feather of it. If you like the style, you can definitely go for it. And then another thing is that we can just if we don't want the effect, we don't necessarily have to press and command to know to undo, put everything to zero, we can just click on this button here, it's going to completely dis L secondary allows us to customize specific colors. So if let's say I don't like the orange color here, I can click on set color. I can choose that color, click on the gray scale, and it's going to select just that color. We can do slightly bigger selection, for example, like that. And then if we want, we can just desaturate that completely or change its look to a different color. Like we can make it blue or we can make it very orange. So if I make it blue and I disable the gray scale, this is what we're going to have. So we can customize specific color. So nothing else is going to be changed. So if I put this to zero, you'll see that the only thing that changes is the color that we select. Can customize the color of the skin by this way as well. The color wheels allow us to change specific tones of the image. So we can change, for example, just the shadows and put them to red or we can do the same with the mid tones or with highlights, and it's going to be different effect every time. Or we can put all of that to red, and it's all going to be red. So it's just a way to customize and isolate specific colors and tones. With curves, it's just another way to move the information around. I can make it super white or super dark, or I can make it a little bit more contrast if I put the three dots here, put this one a little bit higher. This one a little bit lower. It's going to be more contrasty, or if we do it this way, it's going to be less contrast, just like that. I'm going to press on Comanche to undo. In the hue and saturation, we can set specific color. So let's say I want to desaturate orange. So I'll select the orange. It's going to create these selection dots, and then I can drag the orange down, and so we're going to desaturate orange, or we can desaturate red, for example, if the image was a little bit too red. For the versus hue, it's just we can change the hue. So once again, we can change the orange and we can make the orange to different colors. Hue versus luma, it means just how bright it's going to be, so I can make the orange really bright or really dark. For desaturation, we can once again, desaturate something so if I select something like blue and then desaturate that. So that's mostly how you do the color correction. You just want to make sure that the white balance is set correctly, and you want to make sure that it's not super gray or too saturated. Like, this video may be a little bit too saturated. So I'd go into basic correction and then decrease saturation definitely not to 108. So I'll put it back to, let's say, something like 100. So that's a little bit less. Actually, maybe a little bit more. So let's put it to, like, 104, 105, and there you go. That's how we do it. If you have any questions, let me know. Other than that let's jump into the next video. 17. Cinematic Color Grading & Custom LUTs: Now in this video, let's talk about creating a cinematic look with color grid. Now, cinematic oftentimes starts with the lights. So if you take a look at the image that we have in front of us, what do we have here? We have the light on the right. We have the light on the left, we have light in the background. So we have three sources of light in this image. And that's what creates this kind of cinematic look, but we can advance it even further by customizing it, something we discussed in the previous videos. Then there's also a way to apply a lot. So if I go into the creative and select our video, we can apply a number of different lots. Now, you can download lots online. You can literally search and Google download free lots and you'll be able to download them. You can purchase them. And lots are basically a specific look that you can apply. So if I click, for example, on something like this, it adds a little bit of the filter on top, and then we can customize the intensity of that lots. We can make it super intensive or not intensive at all, and then we can select something else. And these are some of the ones that are installed on my computer. I'm not sure if you have the on your computer, but you can give it a choice. So there's going to be a number of lots you get a number of different lots that you can play around with, and then you can customize it even further. So if we go for this kind of black and white, then we can customize a a bit of the faded look so that we make the blacks a little bit lighter and we get this kind of faded effect and we can play around with a couple of settings like sharp and vibrant saturation, but we want to make sure the saturation is set to zero so that we don't have anything on the screen for the vibrant. It's more about the saturation of the certain colors and then the sharpness if I zoom in or see the difference in the sharpness. So if I decrease or increase it or if I put it to zero, it's going to become a little bit less sharp, just like that. Where you can create cinematic looks, and then once again, cinematic, it's all subjective. It's really important to understand that, with all the video stuff and with all the creative stuff, it's all subjective. It's cinematic for one person, not cinematic for the other person. So it's important to understand what exactly you're looking for and trying to understand the kind of things that you like, the kind of styles that you enjoy. And then once you create those styles, it will be cinematic for you, or it will be good for you, pleasant it may not necessarily be for other people. And if you download something from the Internet, you can just open this up and then click on Browse. Just find the file that you downloaded, like, a lot from the Internet, and then you can apply, give it a try. I don't use lots at all, to be honest. It's just a way to do it. I don't think it's any good at this point because it's just for professionals who are really trying to do something super, super specific. So if you have any questions, let me know, than that let's jump into the next video. 18. How to Remove Green Screen in Premiere Pro: In this video, we can talk about green screens. We have a very good example on the screen of a green screen, and in order to get rid of any green screen, we have to go into the effects panel and search for infect gold color key, and then apply that effect onto our footage. Now, we need to go into the Effects Control panel, and in the color key, we need to select which color we need to key out. So I'm going to click on green. And here we need to increase something like the color tolerance or actually, let's increase the tolerance, and then increase the edge thin a little bit more. We're getting a little bit too. This is actually pretty good this point. And you'll see that we still have green on the other side, but we don't necessarily have to get rid of that because we can also create a mask. So if I click on this button on the mask to slip the ellipse, then create a mask around our person, for example, O, then let's click on change to a paste mask, and there you go. We have our person in the middle, but then we have no green screen. I mean, at this point, yes, we do cut him a little bit, but then we can customize it a little bit so that, you know, we don't cut as much like that because we don't have green in those areas at all, so we can make it even bigger. Oh, so let's go from the very beginning, what do we have here? Yes, very good. So that's basically how you do it. You just apply this effect, and depends on the footage, you have to play around with setting, so it's not like these settings work for every single footage. You do have to customize the color tolerance, the edge thin, the feather, and something like we did with the text where we can cut out certain subject. Yes, we can try to cut out certain subject and then try to analyze the forward. It's definitely a way to do it. It takes a bit more power of your computer and depends on the type of work that you do. There are different ways that you can approach this. So here are a couple of ways that you can approach this. If you have your questions, let me know, then that jump into the next video. 19. Audio Editing in Premiere Pro: Welcome. In this video, we can talk about audio. Most of the time when we need to customize audio and premiere is when a person is speaking. So we need to change how the voice sounds, make it a little bit better or a little bit louder, a little bit quieter, things like that. So I'm going to use this example video, and I'll just drag it to a timeline and then make a cut. Let's listen to this audio. How do you make a boring topic feel engaging in the video? The audio is pretty good, so we don't have to change it dramatically. But some of the things that I do is I go into the effect and I have a preset that you'll be able to save. So if I apply it to the audio and then I go into the effects control, here's what we have. We have a hard limter and parametric equalizer. In the parametric equalizer, that's the effect that you can search here. So parametric equalizer, not simple parametric Q, but parametric equalizer. That's two different things. We need the one at the top. So just drag it onto your audio and it's going to appear. And then for the hard limiter, same thing. Search for hard limiter and then just apply it, and that's it. So what should we do here? In the parametric equalizer, I click on E and I click on the vocal enhancer, and I click on the preset, and this is the default, and this is the vocal enhancer. Basically, it changes kind of the lows and the highs of the audio that makes it sound just that much a little bit better. And then for the hard limiter, click on add, I limit it to minus three, which means it makes the audio louder to -3 decibels. The way it works with audio in premiere is on the right, we have, you know, this decibel meter. And when we reach zero, it means that the audio is going to crack. We don't want that. So this hard limeter allows us to get to minus three, to the maximum, so it's going to be pretty loud. It's going to be like you will be able to hear the audio really well, but at the same time, it's not going to crack. And for the permit cure, it's going to make the sound a little bit more basy and just better. So let's listen to what we have now. How do you make a boring topic feel engaging in the video? Now, you might hear that we have a little bit of some sort of noise in the background, some sort of grain noise in the background, is how we describe it. Something that we can do as well here is go into the essential sound. Then click on our clip and click on the dialog in this case, because that's a dialogue. A couple of things we can do here. So we can click on Enhance and it's going to enhance the audio. This is done with AI, and I found that it's not that good, to be honest. Like in the very beginning, if you don't want to think about this, you can set it. It's not something that's going to provide really good quality. Go into loudness, you can customize the loudness. You can click on Automatch and it's going to automatch all the clips to the same loudness. If you, let's say, had ten different clips, it will do it on the same level. I don't use it anymore because the hard limiter just does basically the same thing. In the repair, there's a way to do it. So for example, we can reduce noise, and that's specifically the noise that we can hear a little bit in the background here. So if I drag the handle, it's going to be a lot quieter. We do not hear it in the very beginning here. But if I disable, let's look. How do you? We can hear a little bit of this grain. So here's how we can customize. The more we change these handles, the more the audio is influenced and we have to find good balance, and we shouldn't customize it further. Like, if there's something specific that you're going for, you will know that, but if not, then just make the audio sound good, understandable. That's not bad, it's not very quiet. It's not too loud. It's not too crackly or anything. And you can do it here. So we can reduce kind of the rumble, the reverb. We can do the Ds. Igs is not going to have this kind of sound when a person speaks. There are ways to do it. There's no one setting that fits all videos, and you just have to play around with the settings a little bit. The way I do it most of the time because I know my setup is I got to the effects, and I apply this hardlmeter per meth calculizer and then if I need, I can customize further with essential sound. Essential Sound, once again, Window and then essential sound is what we couple of other settings that you can customize, but honestly, like, don't worry about that. Like, most of the time, you don't really need to customize that. And at the same time, if you are looking to do professional work in terms of the audio in Premiere, there's no really way to do it. You have to learn another software by Adobe. It's called Adobe Audition, and yes, there you can really, really customize the audio, but for premiere, it's just kind of the basic editing at this point. So if you have any questions, let me know that let's jump into the next video. 20. Adding Background Music the Right Way: Welcome. In this video, I'm going to show you how to work with music inside Premiere Pro. We're going to take a look at the video, specifically at the intro of the video that at this point, generated 40,000 views, and let's jump into Premiere. Now, let's take a look at what we have. In this video, I'm going to show you how to edit a complete viral realty video from scratch, inside after effects, head tracking, captions, roto brushing, speedrms, transitions, sound design, everything. This is the most complete tutorial I've ever made on this topic. Every technique in here is something I've personally used to edit videos that generated millions of views. And you're getting all of it. Completely free. No buy plugins, no shortcuts, no gaps. This is the full process. And the thing that actually makes these videos look expensive is not adding more, it's knowing what to take away. And I'll show exactly what that means. Okay, so this is the intro for the video, 30 seconds, and here's what we do. First of all, when to find music. The way I source music is through epidemic sound. The reason being is because I've used them for six or seven years, they have a big library of music of sound effects, and then they're updating with AI stuff, you know, adding voices. So we have music, sound effects, voices. And what I do here is I just search for and the second reason is because there's a thing called copyright. If you use free sources and free music, there's a good chance that you need to either reference the artist or you will get a copyright strike on social media accounts, which is something you don't want. So if you want to give Epidemic Sound a try, there's going to be a link somewhere around this player for a 30 day free trial. Now, what the real like about Epidemic Sound is they have playlist. So if you go to music and scroll down, we have different genres, we have different moods, and if you scroll down even further, there's themes. These are different playlists for different themes. What the real like here is if we search for it. Most of the videos I do on YouTube are tutorials. So this is the playlist that real because I do software, I click on software tutorials, and we can preview some of the music by just clicking on playing it. Mm. I use a different song for the intro, but this can actually work really well because I really like the song. So you know to download, I'll just go ahead and click and download, and that's it. Now, I'll come to premiere, and I'll just drag the song into our project. I'll double click on the song, and it's going to be open in the separate window. Usually, I like to keep this window here on the right. Now, I'm going to zoom in a little bit, and based on the waveforms, this is what we see in front of us. We can kind of tell where the beat is going to start because most of the music follows kind of the same format. So it's going to be roughly like here. I'm going to click on the Mark Intol let it play a little bit. And then mark out. And then if I drag just the audio, I'm going to drag it and let me drag it here for now. The reason being is because I want to find the beat first. So we have the bit start here. So I'm going to cut until this point, drag it down and drag it to the beginning of the video. In this video, I'm going to it. So I usually put the bits on the transitions. For example, we have the transition here where I'm just picking this kind of the first phrase, and then we have the transition and here the beat starts where we have the action or the introduction of the video, and then at the end, we're going to have almost like an outtro phrase. Almost every single song follows the same format where we have the beginning of the song, the middle of song, and the end of the song. And when we do edits for social media, it's very similar where we have the beginning of the video, the middle of the video, and then the end of the video. And this beginning, middle, and end, it's called the content Unit, and long form videos consists of small content unit. So we just have to do it multiple times. This, what we have in front of us is a content unit. For the beginning of this content unit, we use the beginning. For the middle, we use the middle of the song, for the end, we use the end of the song. It's that simple. So I'm just going to make this a little bit longer, make this a little bit longer, and then at the end. Let's search for the end. So like that, so I'm just going to drag it. Perfect. So let's listen to what we have. In this video, I'm going to show you complete vial real video for scratch and so I don't forget. Captions speed This is pretty good. Now, let's watch the end. So I show exactly what that means inside. Okay, this is great. So I'm just shorten this up a little bit. Now, for the audio, I'm going to select all of it. Click on G. This is the audio again. Here, we can set certain decibels. So for example, I want to adjust the gain by. And if I put -25, it's going to be -25 decibels. This is roughly where I put the music. Let's click on Okay. So you'll see that the waveforms became a lot lower, a lot smaller, and I just listen, see if it's good. If not, then I can just it further. If yes, then we're ready to go. So let's listen. In this video, I'm going to show you how to edit a complete viral realty video from scratch inside after effects. Head tracking. Captions, root of brushing. This is really good. It's not competing with my voice. And another thing that we can do is if we come to the transition between the audio at the end, we can press on Search Command D to create a default transition. Let's listen to what we have. I'm also going to click on just the S. So it means that we'll have only the solo track of the audio. So of our music. If I set the two, it's going to be two or I can just do the opposite thing of muting the one the top to listen to the song. The transition to the end is very smooth, so this is great. So in the music, there's highs and lows, and for the lows, it's okay. But then for the highs, sometimes might compete with my voice because my voice is not just the base. It has highs and has lows. So if it competes, I will go into the effects, and I sometimes apply this effect called lower music for voice. If I make this song louder by let's say 15, let's listen to what we have. And if I apply it, you'll see that it competes a lot less even with the voice that I'm speaking with you right now. So the way to do this effect is, let's go into the effect control. So this is the simple parameter cube. We used parametric equalizer before, but this time, it's simple parametriu so just apply it and then set these settings in. By setting the settings in, I mean, literally just type these numbers in here. So center 13 60, cou four, and then post to -18. Then you can reclick, save it as a preset, and just reuse it in the future. So that's how you do in terms of the music. If you have any questions, let me know. Other than that. I'll see you in the next video. 21. Sound Effects (SFX) for Video Editing: In this video, we can talk about sound effects. And sound effects is something I also source on epidemic sound. It has big library sounds. So if you're going to sound effects, I think they have something like 10,000, and I mean, you can definitely explore because they have different categories. I really like the user interface or the UI sounds when I do the UI animations, or we can search for something specific. So the way we do sound effects is I come to Premiere Pro, and I'm going to mute both myself and the music because I don't want to hear it. And I just take a look at what's happening on screen. For fast movement like this, I would use something like a woosh or a swoosh. So I'd literally search for push. This is great. I'm going to download it, and I'm going to come to premiere. I'm going to go into the project panel and then literally just drag and drop the swooh. I'm going to double click on it. We can select just one of these wooshes and then drop it into the timeline. Let's see where we have the most movement roughly here. So we have to put loudest part of the Subwsh into the fastest movement of whatever we have happening on the screen. Let's take a look. Maybe it's a little bit too slow. Look. Sometimes the wooh can be a little bit too fuzzy, for example, what we have in this case, so I'd go and search for another s wooh. Oh, this sounds much better. So let's download it, drop it in, select it. Drop it. So you'll see it's a lot longer because you can see the length. I'm going to delete it, and let's take a look. Yes, this is a lot better. And then we can put another swoosh, for example, here because we are zooming out a lot. What we can do here is we can just copy this effect instead of applying it from here. So I'm going to press option, click on this audio and then start dragging it and just going to copy it. So I'm going to put roughly here. Let's take a look. Great. Now, for the flash transition that we have here, we can go and search for something like a camera shutter. Okay, I like this one, so I'm going to download it, come to premiere. In this case, I'm just going to drop it here, and I will drop it onto the transition. So let's see what we have. And we can shorten this up so that we don't hear the thing in the very beginning. Great. Now, we have all sorts of things happening on the screen, but nothing that needs to be added. But then for some of these things, you know, for the fast switches of what we have on the screen, we can use something like animation composer, like something we already discussed with you in the transition. So if you're going to sound effects to the sounds, I'm going to search for some like a click. Okay. Actually, I would like this one. So I'm going to copy it and then click on arrow down in order to go to the next cut. If it doesn't go to the next cut, you just need to enable a certain track with blue because if I disable these tracks, I'll only go between this cut, this cut, this cut, like everything on just Track one, as you see. But if I want to go between different tracks, like, for example, here, and then pressing Command V to paste it, and this is how fast to do it. Let's see. Great. Simple as that. Then for another flash transition, we can just use the shutter efect. I'm just going to drop it from the left to here. Let's see. Great. So I just go back and forth and see what can have certain sounds. Like, most movement has some sort of sounds. I don't try to do it for every single sound because it can be a little bit too much, but I try to do it to as many as possible to make the video a lot more engaging. And then if it's a little bit too loud, I just select the press and G, make it a little bit lower in terms of the loudness, and that's kind of the secret. So if you have any questions, let me know, at that let's jump into the next video. 22. Multicamera Editing & Audio Sync: Welcome. In this video, we're going to learn multicam editing and audio syncing. Might sound a little bit scary, but it's absolutely not. So in the resources section, you will find the two files that you need to drag into premiere. This is kind of the same recording just from the two sites. It's one clip of me just sitting in front of the camera and then there's another camera from the side, recording everything. So we have two ways to do it. I'm going to show you the two ways. We need to select our footage, right click and click on Create multi camera source sequence. Couple of things. You can set specific name here at the top. I'd go for something custom so we can set like a multicam. Then for the synchronized point, we need to use Audio Track channel. In this case, we select one because that's the only option we have. And I will show you how to synchronize audio even without this a little bit later. Then the sequence preset, if you want to set something specific here, but we will keep it automatic. It's just kind of the sequence settings that we need. And then the audio, for the sequence settings, we are going to just keep everything the same and click on the game. So here's what it does. It puts our clips in the folder, and then we have a multicap sequence. We can drag the sequence to the bottom in order to actually preview what we have. Welcome. This is a multicPractice video. We have Camera one. We have Camera two. Great. So when I switch to another camera, I want to be able to actually switch. So here's how it works. In premiere below your video player, you have a number of different icons. These icons are useful buttons, and you can click on this button to add more buttons. We need this button called Toggle multicomO there's a shortcut of Shift zero. So we can either click here and something will change or we can just click on Shift zero, and exactly the same thing will happen. I can just switch between that by shortcut. Now, let me explain what happened to our audio and videos. So if I click on the multicom, this is the multicup sequence that was created. I go direct click and open it in timeline, and it will open the sequence. So this is sequence final, and this is the multicam sequence. So when we opened up, we have our two audio and video clips. So this is the one from the side, and then if I disable it by pressing Shift Command E, we'll have the video that we have in front of me. Here we can decide what we want in terms of the audio. For example, I can mute this clip and we'll have only the top clip because the top clip has better audio because I have a better mic there. We can customize our clips here, and then whatever changes we hear, it will be reflected right over here. But let's close the multicom, come back to the multicomF here's what we need to do. We need to click on this button to toggle the multicom view, and whenever we start playing, we can switch between the two views. If I click on two, literally on number two, it's going to switch here. But if you click on number one, we'll be able to switch. Whenever I switch, it's going to update it in real time. If I zoom in and then just try to replay the video and if I toggle this, it's going to switch automatically the way I switched in real time. We don't have to do it with button one and button two. We can do it in real time, just with pressing on the screen and do it like this. Whenever I switch, you'll see that we have these cuts in the timeline. There's another way to do it. If let's say you don't want to do it like this, I'm going to delete everything. I'll just delete everything completely, click on a K, and I'm just going to track the two clips here and then track them into the sequence to crit sequence below into the timeline. So I'm going to put them on two different layers. I'm going to select them, Right click and click on synchronize. I want to select Audio Track channel, we'll keep one at this point and click on a K. It's going to synchronize the audio. So something the premier do techmtically. Now we can select this, right click and click on Nest. Click on K. Basically, what it does is it takes our video clips and it puts it in another sequence. So we have a sequence within a sequence. Do as many of these as we want. Like if let's say we did a number of effects and we don't want those layers to be separate and those efects to be separate, we can just nest it and going to create sequence within a sequence. So if I double click, it's exactly the same thing that we had before. And if you want to do multico from here, we indirectly click on multicom camera enable, and we'll be able to do the multicom the same way we did it before. So if I play So if I start playing, we have exactly the same thing, you know, we have different clips. It's really useful for podcasting. And another great thing is that then you can just customize the clips. You can press on command and, you know, move things around, like, so if you want to customize it even further. So it's just going to move the cut between the different clips. It's really useful if you do podcasting or some sort of long videos where you do mult cams. And we can do it manually. If we come to this composition, we can make a cut, for example, make a cut here. Let's say we don't want this audio, we can press on Shift Command E to hide it, and we'll be able to switch Limit disable the multicom. So we'll be able to switch from here to here, and I like that, but it's pretty manual, and there's better way to do it with the multicom. So if you have any questions, let me know. I think that let's jump into the next video. 23. Masking & Mask Tracking: In this video, we're going to talk about masking. This something we've already talked before. This is something that we've already done before, but I want to go a little bit deeper because we can do some really interesting things with masking. So I'm going to drag this video and track it to Tameline and it's a video of me just kind of walking. Now, I want to show one interesting effect. If let's say I select the mask and go to the ellipse mask, then I start and select the clip and start drawing a mask around my face. Like so let's say I want to track a mask around my face in order to blur it. So I will track the mask forwards and backwards, going to do it automatically. Let's see what it does. Okay, great. It did the whole thing. Now, if I go into the effect and I search for a mosaic and I apply this effect, the mask is going to be attributed to the effect, in this case, to mosaic, which is creating a blur. And in the mask, there's a way to do mask opacity. Like we can control how strong the effect is. Basically how visible the effect is. You can do mask expansion to make it really big. So if I click on it, we'll be able to see it a little bit better. With the red, it's the mask expansion, and then with the feather, we can control how smooth the transition is between the mask and no mask. So we can really see it here because there's this gradient. We can do a mask with a pencil. We can draw another mask like or we can draw a mask with the rectangle tool. It doesn't matter, so we can draw masks in many different ways. We can track them. It's really, really useful. And if we go for the object mask, there's something we've already did. So actually let me delete all the masks because it's just a little bit too much at this point. Let's delete this, delete this, and a mask going to delete this as well, and delete the mosaic. So we can select our subject, right something we did with you before, and then we can track it forwards and backwards. Let's just wait a little bit for it to do the tracking. For the tracking, we have our mask, once again, if we apply some mosaic effect, we're just going to blur myself out completely, and once again, we can increase the feather a little bit and the expansion so that we cannot identify what kind of person that is. It's really useful because sometimes we really need to blur something out from the screen. This is the way to do it. So if you have any questions, let me know at that, let's jump into the next video. 24. Stabilizing Shaky Footage with Warp Stabilizer: In this video, we're going to stabilize shaky footage. Remember, we had these clips before, and when we drag them onto a timeline and tried to do a speed ramp with them, they were a little bit bumpy because it's not super smooth. Now, there's actually a way to stabilize footage, and we don't have to do it manually. We can do it automatically. So if I go to the defects and search for a stabilizer, we need a warp stabilizer. So we just need to drag the effect onto our footage. And it's going to do the job. It's going to do everything automatically. It needs to analyze every single frame, which you can see the process here. It will tell you how much time is left. So if I make this a little bit bigger, the percentage and the frames. Once it finished with processing, it needs to do stabilizing. This part is pretty fast as well, and it finished took us 10 seconds to do it. So now, this video is a lot smoother than it was before, and the speed ramp is going to be much, much better. Can increase the smoothness to, let's say, 100. It's going to zoom in a lot more and stabilize it a lot more, so it's not going to be like buttery smooth, but it also has to crop more. So we have to find balance of how much do we need to crop versus how much do we need to keep in order to not crop that much. So if I disable the effect, you'll see that it zooms in, in this case, not significantly, but in some of the other cases, it can do more, depending on how shaky the footage is. Usually I just work with smoothness. I don't really touch the other things. Sometimes it can also distort a little bit of the background. The image might look a little bit weird. So you just need to decrease the smoothness. It's going to be a bit less smooth, but at the same time, it's not going to completely distort the image if it's super super shaky. If you have any questions, let me know and let's jump into the next video. 25. Customizing Your Timeline: In this video, let's talk about timeline customization. Yes, you can customize the timeline. So I'm going to attract the video here. And finally, we get to this video because honestly, I don't work with this timeline. The only reason I use this timeline is because I want to show it to you because you might be a little bit overwhelmed with all this stuff. But now that we get to this video, I'll show you how to properly set this up. So you'll see that we have you know, this pretty big height in terms of the each truck. Like, there's a lot of space here. We can minimize that by just dragging down and making it a little bit smaller or we can drag this up or we can drag this up to be huge, but I don't like it when it's huge. You will also notice that we have this very terrible line that if you accidentally hit it, boom, you'll put the opacity to zero. I have no idea why it exists. It's Honestly, I never use it. It's very annoying for me, so that's why I like to show you how you can customize your timeline. So if you press on, for example, Shift plus and shift minus, you'll be able to decrease and increase the size of each truck. If you're on Windows, it's control, and then we can click on Option plus, and if you're on Windows, it's Alt plus. And this is the size that I work with. This is my favoritize. There's no this line that we have to move up and down in terms of the opacity, so there's no this thing here, which is really annoying. Once again, put it back to 100. What's wrong with that? No, I would also recommend you to click on the clip and then click on Option or Alt and then arrow up and then move it down in order to create more tracks, and then you click on Shift minus to make it super small, make this on the same layer, and then just click on Command plus and Option plus like that so that we have more tracks at the top and at the bottom. You can save this as a preset. So if you come here to the timeline display settings, click on Save Preset, and let's call it like mine, for example, and click on a K. Now, here's the interesting thing that if we go into managed preset, we have mine and we have no keyboard shortcut, but we can put the track height preset one, click on. Now, if we go into Option Command K to open the keyboard shortcuts or Alt Control K, let's search for TRC height preset, here we have one. So if I click on shortcut and create a shortcut, we can put any shortcut in my case because I don't really use a lot like the L and K because I create my custom shortcut sometimes, or in this case, we don't really use the hand tools. We can press on for example, and it's going to override the hand shortcut. Click on K. So anytime you open premiere, it's going to be something like this, then you just press on H and it's going to be small. Yes. Finally, we can. Another thing is that if you make cuts here, for example, like that, you can mark things with different colors, so you can right click and you can set it with different color. It's just going to allow you to understand that certain things have certain colors, and once you create your workflow, you'll be able to identify which color means what, and it's just a way to identify things a little bit easier and it's going to be really useful in the future. I'll also mention that I do customize the look of the program monitor quite a lot. So this is what my editing workspace usually looks like where I have premiere capos left, the timeline and the project here and the effects here, then I have a lot of stuff here. It's like properties, fire card, the audio tracks, elemetr effects, text, blah, blah, blah blah blah. A lot of stuff. So this is what I usually work with. If you want to have the same one, you just want to make sure that let's say the program monitor, I have to drag it to the left until we get to the green get to the green thing, it's going to be kind of this big size. I'm going to put this back. Actually, let me go to the starter. This is what we have in the very beginning. So going to drag the project, put it to the left until we get to the green thing, and then we just need to move it a little bit to the side. So we have to do it like so, but then we have to put this stuff here as well. So that's how I work. So this is in terms of the horizontal workspace, in terms of the vertical workspace. I'm not sure if you have it by default, but this is what mine looks like. So it's really useful. Once again. Project effect and the audio tracks are here, but then right over here, I have more stuff, including premiere composer, although I might move a little bit left. So I just play around sometimes, and I always change things based on the workflow. Sometimes the workspace needs to be slightly different depending on the work that you do. So you just need to find the thing that works really great for you and customize it to your lking. If you have any questions, let me know at that let's jump into the next. 26. Premiere Pro Keyboard Shortcuts for Faster Editing: In this video, I want to talk about shortcuts. Shortcuts will save an unbelievable amount of time. And you've already discovered some of the shortcuts and you know how to see some of the shortcuts, if we go into any of the panels at the top, we'll see the shortcuts at the end of a certain button, or we can click on Option Command K, and here we'll have custom shortcuts. Now, I do a lot of custom shortcuts. It's because sometimes I don't like the way Atobe does it or I don't use some of the features that they have, and I'll be able to overwrite shortcuts. So you can create your own, and you can search for the ones that already exist. If something doesn't exist, you can create your own one. Although that's not always the case, but most of the time, that's a possibility. It's just some of the actions are not short cutable if you know it's also important to know that Adobe updates shortcuts with your updates. So if you watch this in the future, they might do things slightly differently, and some of the shortcuts might be slightly differently as well. Now, this is premiere for 2026, but because of some issues that I have with this program, I actually still use premiere 2025. I'd like to show you the shortcuts that I use quite often here. Very similar thing where, you know, we have a timeline, and I make it a little bit smaller like that. That's the first thing I do when I open the project. Then I have a couple of shortcuts. You have Q and E in order to do the ripple cut, but I really like another shortcut in between them. So if we open the shortcuts option command K, the ripple trim on the left, and then on the W, you have the ripple trim right. But I also have add died. So what I have in between here is if I use the playhead and I click on W, I'm going to make a cut. It's not going to cut only to the right of the play head like that, which is what you have or to the left, which is what you have. So if you press Q to the left or if you press W, it's going to cut to the right for you. But my case for W, it's going to make a cut really, really useful because if let's say I want to cut it from here to here, it's much better to be able to have that option. Next, for the colors for Command one, two, and Command plus, I have different colors, so I can switch between the different colors like so. If I select the footage and press on Control A, I'm going to remove attributes, which means it's going to delete certain effects from all the layers. If let's say the video is a little bit too small, I can select the clip press on Control V to make it fit the screen vertically or horizontally. So if you going into the setting, it's going to be Control V, it's going to be fit to frame or fill the frame. These two shortcuts are really, really useful. Shortcuts for different windows. So if a person four, it's going to be properties, number five is going to be the effects, six is going to be graphic template, seven is going to be elemetric color, eight is going to be text and nine's going to be central sound. For one, two and three, I have shortcuts in order to play the video. So if a plus on one is going to be shuttle left for two shuttles of a three shuttle right. And here you have the properties, the effects control graphic templates. So if I search for example, for properties, you need to scroll down a little bit on Window properties. So we can search for window. We have different workspaces, and here we can set shortcuts. The effect control, I told you what I have, the effects, the sound effects. By the way, the effects is really useful. So if I'm here and if I click on Option two, it will open the effect panel. If I click on option one, it's going to open the shortcut panel. So let's open. Let's see what we have. Option one is going to be the project, and option two is going to be the effect. Have small shortcuts here and there that I don't always use, for example, if I want to synchronize clips, I just put them onto different layers and I click on controls, and it's going to synchronize the clips, something that we discovered with you when we did the multicom video. Just click on Okay, but this is not going to synchronize because the same clip. W you recommend you to the action to do here is to understand what kind of things you repeat often? Because those are the things that you need to create shortcuts for. If you create shortcuts, the ones that I set you, yes, some of them will be useful certainly because there will be a lot of overlap in the work that we do. But the same time, try to understand the patterns of the work that you do. When you understand your patterns, you'll be able to then say, Hey, I click five of the same patterns all the time. Is there a way to click just one button instead of five to save me four clicks? And then if you find that, it's going to be huge because you will be able to save four button clicks every day or maybe multiple times per day. And if you spend 10 minutes per day, it's going to be 70 minutes per week, so over an hour per week or over 4 hours per month or what if you do four times 50, over 200 hours per year? Is does a lot of the work. So try to understand the patterns. Obviously, if you have any questions, let me know. Better than that, I'll see you in the next video. 27. Firecut: AI-Powered Editing Tool Overview: Welcome. In this video, I want to talk about AI tools and how to use them with Premiere. But I want to talk about one specific tool that has a lot of tools built into it so that you don't have to have ten different subscriptions. It's called the Fire Cat. So I will drag a video and create a sequence. And if you go into Window extensions, I'm going to have a Frecad here. Now, we'll take a look at FRCat and if you like the Frecat, there's going to be a link in description, that if you get subscription through that link, you will get a 10% discount. I usually put fire cut here on the right, and here's what it does. It does the removal of silences of filler words of the repetition of profanity. You can add zooms, chapters, captions, voiceovers, titles, find roles, music, do the multi track. Audio cutting automatically, you can create highlights, and you can create workflows if you want to workflows basically like a preset. So here's how to do it. I would go into the cut silences and you can do it automatically, which is kind of the default. I would just make sure to put it to the cut tight. It's going to do automatically. If you want to go advance, there's a way to do it. You can go and click on Analyze, and there are specific settings you can set. Like, I'm not going to go into super details because you can go onto the FRCAt website. You can click on see documentation, and you can watch these videos on how to do it in detail. But let's go for the basic cut tight. Let's go and click on G. It's going to quickly analyze that and then it's going to cut the silences automatically. And again describe how much time it saves. So it cut 53 seconds of silences. Imagine doing that manually, that would take forever for the short video. Then, for example, for another thing, like remove repetition because I do repeat a lot of stuff quite a lot. So once again, actually, let's go for the full sequence here because it just selects the in and out points that we have the top. But if we were to do the in and out points, we just need to come here, click on O so that we have the in and outpoints, but in this case, we can do full sequence, detect repetition. And let's see. Here can also play with settings. You can set the minimum free size, the tolerance, search radius. When you see this for the first time, might be a little bit overwhelming, but once you give it a try, it is extremely easy. I know, because I've used them for you, since last year, basically, they're really good at this sub. So let's say you customize some of the settings, then you preview and choose the best takes. You can literally click and it's going to take you to the repetition. So let's that's I feel like that's a feel like that's absurd question. So, we have three repetitions of the same thing, and I can just click on the one that I want to select and it's just going to cut the other stuff. It's like, it's that good. Then we can watch the next one. So if the video is ****, so if the video is ****, then, so if the video is ****, nobits going to save that. Okay, great. So yeah, we can click checkmark. It's going to delete the other ones and keep this one. It is so, so great. If I go back and then we can remove profanity, we can add Zooms. Like, we can customize and tell it how zoomed in we want it to be, like how smooth it can be. We can set specific graphs. Then we can click and go. It's going to actually, here, we were not able to add Zoom because we had the in and out points too small. So it's click on option X to disable the in and out points. Let's again click and zoom, and it's click and go. So it did add right here. So let me mute this track. Let's see what we have. So it did add a couple of Zooms. You'll see that added in JMLre and within Just Mllir there's this Zoom, and then we have the Zoom out, and then we have the same thing at the end. So for short fm videos, it's amazing how great job it does. Now, once again, I'm not going to go through every single thing. If you want to give it a trad, there's going to be billing in description, and I'll be honest, I use this tool in every single edit. Literally, every single edit I do. So I know that these guys are great. I know the person who built the software. And if you want, like, reassurance from me, you have the assurance that this is something that's going to save you a lot of time, a lot of effort, and a lot of even money in the future because of how great this is. So if you have any questions, let me know that let's jump into the next video. 28. Export Settings for YouTube, Instagram & TikTok: Welcome. In this video, let's learn how to export the video. So let's say this is our final video, want to export that. We need to mark where we want to export that exactly. Like, which parts of the video? So do you want the whole video or do you want specific parts? And the way to do it is with in and out points. So when you come to the very beginning, for example, and click on I, it's going to create an in and if you come to the end of the video, you can do it by also clicking arrow down. Come to the very end. Click on O. It's going to mark the outpoint. Now, if I zoom in, you will see that we have this very annoying last frame. So in order to get rid of that, it's just a quirk of premiere, have to click arrow to the left and click on O, and it's going to get rid of that annoying frame. Now, we are ready to export the video. And by the way, if you don't want to export the whole video, you can also mark out, for example, here, and it's going to export on this part, but we want to go for the whole video. Also click here and then click on arrow up left and click on O. Next, we need to go into Export or click on Command M. We'll get to the Export video. And a couple of things here. You can export with match source settings. It's good to export with the same settings that your video is, or you can create your own settings and then save that as a preset. Use both depending on the type of work that I do. For example, I have this Vladislav or Vladislav with right colors. If we set it with right colors, it's going to be a little bit better because it's going to export it with proper colors. There's an issue that Adobe is aware of. They created this Gamma compensation lot, which if you going into the effects, there it is selected form. It's going to be linked somewhere around the video player. So just click on it. It's going to be non for you. So click on Custom one, and then you just need to select it. I always have it in a folder on my desktop, so I just click on it, open and there you go it's applied. Basically, it makes the colors more saturated because when you exp Premiere Pro. Without that, the video is going to be less saturated and less contrasting. So when you go into video, and here, I always try to match the source settings. So even if I select, my presets with the right colors, is going to be the match source. But the audio, these are the settings that I have. And for the video, actually, if you go into more, here are a couple of things that I recommend you do. So set the render at maximum depth, use maximum render quality. Here, I recommend frame sampling the hardware coding profile high level at 4.2 you don't necessarily have to put these settings it's just something that I have, and if you want to copy it, see if it is a preset, you can always do so. And then for the Tar bitrate, the bit rate will really influence how big or small your file is going to be when you export the video. The higher you set it, the better the quality is going to be. But at the same time, the size of the file is going to increase dramatically. So if I set it very high 262, you will see that the might file size is at 152. But if I set it back to, let's say, 19, which is really good quality still, it's going to be 46 megabytes. So that's a big difference. And once I put all the settings in including the effects, click on this burger here, click on the safe preset, give it a name, and then it will be here in the favorites. Just make sure to give it a name that you can identify. In my case, it's either lattice love without the gum compensation light, and then Vladislav with red colors is with gum compensation light. Then after that, I click on location to set specific location, set specific name, then I can just click on Save, click on Export, Export video, and that's it. If you have any questions, let me know. At that let's jump into the next video. 29. Final Project: Edit a Complete Video Start to Finish: Now, let's get to the practice video. So you will have access to these files, and I'm going to drag all of them into premium. These are just eight files that are recorded as doing head video just for you to practice. Most likely you are going to do some sort of work on social media, but that's going to be long term video or short from video. In this case, just as easy examples, I'm going to give you access to short from videos. So I'm going to drag it into a timeline, and here's what we introd into work with color on this video. Just play around with settings. See what you like, what you don't like. Add text, do the cuts, make sure you actually cut the video properly so that it's not just, you know, the random takes that I did here that are not super perfect, but you cut the silences and make the video a little bit better. Add captions, add graphics that you want to add on the screen, do the Zooms. This video is yours to play or these videos are yours to play. And if you have any questions, let me know. That, let's jump into the next video. 30. Last Step!: Congratulations to you. You are nearly 100% done with the Adobe Premier course. There are just three small steps you need to take.
