Full Premiere Pro Course in 30 minutes with Adobe Certified Instructor

1. Introduction: Hello, Welcome to the Premier Pro course. This is an essential course where you will learn everything you need to know about the software. It won't be too deep of a course, but it will be enough for you to make a video from beginning to end. My name is called saucer law, though I'm an adopt certified instructor and I've been teaching for the past 17 years. As I teach so many courses of Adobe Premiere in schools, I figured out a way that you can learn the most efficient way. So in my videos, you won't have any pauses of this kind of fathers are where I begin to ramble about something or where I can like talk in, make the course really, really long. No, I took all of that out. I went really specific on the things that you need to learn and what you need to do to maximize your learning in software, even if it's too fast for you, you can always pause in played it again. I did this way. Instead of having a ten hour course, we'd videos that can be really boring or not satisfying to learn, uh, made this this weight so that it's really specific for you to learn the fastest way possible. I really hope you enjoy the course. If you have any issues, just let me know and I'll see you in the first glass. 2. Starting your project: Okay, you have installed the Premier Pro and now you open it, and this is the first window that appears when you open it. You can make a new project or you can open a project in here is where the old project will be. Let's make a new project. When you make a new project, you have to insert the name. It's better that way. And you can put the location where you want to put the files, the settings that are set by default. They are ready to start and you don't have to make any changes. Just make sure if you have a GPU at here, the GPU is selected. Let's start. Let's first edit and press. Okay. This is your workspace, just to be sure that we are on the same page. Choose editing workspace. You can press the right button of the mouse Reza to save layout. This way you will have the windows placed exactly as I have. You can resize them however you want, and you can change places of them. And if you want, you can go to RelativeLayout and go back again where it starts. You can see that each window has a blue line. This means that that window is selected and it will have different shortcuts for each window selected. 3. Importing Clips: Now it's time to import our first files. You can go down here, you have your window project. You can bring your files through here by dragging them. Or you can use the Media Browser to bring up the files to your project. Let's bring some files. Now I have some files here. I'm going to choose to import them, just breasts on the file that you want. We achieved, you can select all of this right button and press Import. It'll be imported into your project. Now you have a bunch of thumbnails with your videos. You can resize the time nails by going here. 4. Start your edit: To start editing, you can do as simple as dread, the one clip into here. This is the timeline and you'll have your first clip on the timeline. Or if you want to, you can go here on new item and select a new sequence. This way you can choose the sequence that you want regarding your camera. Just find the one that fits your needs and select it and give it a name. If you drag a clip to a sequence that is not the same, it will ask you if you want to change the sequence settings or keep the existing settings. I'll be choosing gen sequence settings because I'll have the sequence we the same definition as my flips. Now you can see on the right side, this is your program. This is the window that reveals what's in the timeline. On their left side, you have your source. This is where you can double-click on Eclipse and watch the clip before dragging it to the timeline. Now you can start dragging clips on the timeline just one after another. And you just made your first edit. You can use your shortcut, the spacebar to play, or you can use the buttons here to view York timeline. In here you have the same buttons, but it's to view the source. 5. Working on the timeline: Now, if you want to resize the clips because you don't want the beginning and the end. You can recite them on the timeline. You can drag the scroll bar and it will zoom on your clips. Now you can go to the very beginning of the clip and it will appear red arrow. And you can click and drag and you're cutting the beginning of that clip. You can do the same at the end and it will as well. Now you drag the clip to John Dee other clip, make sure you have the snap button to snap in timeline so that the clips will snap to each other. Another way to do it is select the space and press Delete, and it will delete the space between the clips. Now you have your edits with the times that you want. This is very easy as you can see on this example. 6. Different ways to edit: Another way to bring the clips without cutting on the timeline is to select the clip on the source n reviewed the part that you want. Just go to where you want to put the start end. You have the mark in and you can make the outbound with the shortcut O. Now when you drag the clip, it will be cut in the beginning, in the end, you can drag the clip on several ways. You can pick on here on the image and just drag it to the timeline. You can drag on these two icons. You can read only video, or you can drag only audio, or you can even go back to the project window, drag it to the timeline, delete the spaces, and you have your full edit. You can even choose multiple video lines to make the edit so that you can hide one or another. I can drag this clip to the second line. And if I don't want to see it, I just pressed the eye. 7. Changing clips properties: If you want to change any property of the clip, just press the clip two times and we will open the clip on the source. Remember to see if the source is at the sequence and the clip name. This way, when you go to effects controls, you have motion, opacity and time remapping. In motion. You can change position, scale, rotation, anchor point, and to Flickr filter in position. This is the position in x and y. The scale is in percentage and rotation is in degrees. Once you go over 360 degrees, you'll get one term plus a 160 degrees. As you can see in the image, 163 degrees. If you undo residue rotation, you just press the red button at the side. You have multiple buttons so that you can read at each end if you want to read the whole thing, you have a recipe effect. If you wanted to change the position, just change it here. If you want to change a position directly on the program sequence, just select motion. This way. You can change the position directly on the program and you can move and resize it. Or if you go right to the corner, you can even rotate it. 8. Animation fundamentals: If you want to do any kind of animation, you can zoom on the clip or you can go here and just press on the beginning and activate the chronometer. You will toggle the animation. It will give you one keyframe. This is a key point that will give the values of the position. Next, I'll drag the play head a little bit enzyme and drag the value on x. And you'll have an animation to go back. Press Play. You have an animation of the clip moving on x. If you wanted to delete the animation, you just breast the chronometer again. It will ask you if you want to delete the existing keyframes. You'll press Okay to delete everything. Anchor point is the point where you grab the image. You can change the anchor point to the corner. And then when you go to rotation, if you rotate, it will rotate based on an anchor point. Then you also have opacity, where you can create masks and change the opacity of the clip. For example, if I just want a part of this image and create a mask like this, and just drag the mask and resize it to the part that I want. This way, I can put another clip, none here, and I still have the same man on the clip on top with the mask. Let me show you an example where you can use the mask to make it theorization. I have here this clip that at the end, some people Best Buy and what I want is to make a mask. To show the next frame, I'll put the beginning of the clip, marking in and marking out and brag the clip here, put it on the second video line and their needs. I will put the next shot for him to go through. For example, here you can see the shots have different sizes. You can press right button, scale to frame size, but this will stretch out the image to the sequence size. So what you need to do is to have the eclipse all be the same size. Or if you have different sizes, use the smallest size. But for this example, I'll just scale to frame size when it starts to show this part, I want the next leap to be already showing. What I'll do is this is the last frame where it doesn't show any image over there. So I can put the clip right here. So now what I do is I'll go to a little bit further, select the clip, go to effects controls to opacity and draw the mass. This way, I can draw the mask here around the bag and I won't do it too precise. You can do this later. I'll just do it like this. If you need more space here, you can go to this part where it says Fit and you can resize the viewing. For example, 10 percent will allow you to put points outside the frame. Now, as you can see, what I'm seeing here is the frame beneath. If you can turn it off, you see the masking happening. 9. How is it going?: He's the way there I'm talking in teaching, being efficient for you. I really hope so, but remember, you can always send me a message and let me know. What do you think about it? 10. Masking: If you want to animate the mask on the clip on the top, now you have mask one. You just need to toggle animation on mask back. Then you'll have your first keyframe. If you go back, you can drag the mask to your need. You see here, you can drag it to here, but you'll have to change this points, this one, and pull it further. Now, you have two key frames and you have an animation. It's far from perfect, but you can work on it later. You just have to put the keyframes and go step-by-step. If you want, you can resize the window to work better to the mask so that you can see the points even closer. You want to go back to the same workspace just to save layout and you'll get the windows back in place. If you go on YouTube, you'll find a lot of transition types that people have done over the years. I wanted to go further on the timeline. You can zoom it out or you can press shift and with the scroll wheel, just go ahead and scroll down the timeline. Now you can drag the clip and put it here. Remember, if you have snap, it will grep to the end of the clip, but if you put it on top of it, it will cut that part from the clip that it's already on the timeline. Now, I'll show you the transitions that are included in the software. 11. Transitions: You go to the Window Effects. If you don't find it here, just go to Window effects to video transitions, expand the folder and you have a transition like the solve in this one, cross dissolve that has a blue line is the default transition. If you want to change the default transition, just pressed the right button and set it as default transition. Do you use a transition? You just drag it to the middle of the eclipse. See here, it won't go into middle because there's no video on the right-click to do the translation. So what you need to do is cut a little bit, drag it back, and then you can apply the transition. This is why people usually record a few seconds before the action on the camera so that they can have time to make a transition. As you can see now, we have a transition. If you want to expand this transition, just select it and you can expand the size of it, are, you can double-click it and put the size that you want. Or even you can go to the Window Effects Controls and you have here the duration in here. You can also drag the size of the transition on each side. Now, you can explore all the other transitions. But remember that most of the editing don't have any transition other than cross dissolve or dip to black. Just go watch a movie and take a close look on transitions. What kind of transitions you have on those movies. 12. Working with Effects: Now we're going to talk about effects. You can shrink the folder, video transitions in. Now you can go to Video effect. There's a lot of video effects on premium grow. And for now, we can change the workspace to effects so that we can work on effects. You'll see the workspace changing windows, and now you have your effects on the right side. And you can expand this we know so that you can see all the list of the effects, many of these effects you will ever use, but there are a few that are really useful. For example, if you want the blur something out, you can use Gaussian blur. And now you can go to effects controls or by the shortcut Shift F5. And when you go to Effects Controls, now you have your effect gaussian Blur. You can put the blurriness a lot or you can draw a mask on where you want to put the effect, for example, to blur something out that you don't want people to see it. If you want to delete an effect just like the name and breast delete, you will erase the effect from the clip. For example, if you scale to frame size, you can use a little bit of sharpen to get more definition of me image. Be careful, don't use it too much, or you will notice the effect. You have a lot of video effect. For example, you have distortion effects like magnified on the Effects Controls. Some of the effects. When you select the name, you can change the effect directly on the program window. Now, I'm doing magnified on that person's head. I'll say the magnification is way bigger and the size much bigger. For example, if you want to recall something on the image, this magnify works really good. You have other effects that you can go through them in distortion, you have with the warp stabilizer. 13. Stabilization: I just imported here different clip so that I can show you the Warp Stabilizer. I have a little bit of footage and just drag the video over here. As you can see the footage, it's really shaky. Apply the Warp Stabilizer to the clip. Wait to analyze. You continue on in effect towards all how much time is left. Now it's stabilize. Let's see the difference. Much better. You can turn the effect of by pressing effects. Now, you can see it did before. Let's look at the after. So much better. 14. Green Screen: Another effect that is used a lot of times is the chroma key. So you will have to go to King and you'll have ultra key. Drag the clip that you have where you record with the chroma key. Now you can drag the ultra key to the clip, just go to effects controls, and on the key color, you pick the green color on the screen. This will take the green out. And now if you put something behind, you can see the image behind. You still need to tweak the effect. Because as you can see here on my shirt, you can see the road. So if you go to the Effect again, there are some tweaks here on mesh generation and matte cleanup that you'll have to do it. For example, the pedestal will change a lot on the image in here on the shadow. You can raise up because you want the whole shirt to be off, but you still have some margins on the image. Because if you turn off the effect, you can see those margins here, all you have to do is create a mask on opacity so that you can put the mask just around the character. And now you have a perfect chroma key. Good advice to make a good chroma key is that you don't go outside the green. Tried to remember this when you're doing the shooting. 15. Enjoying the course?: Are you enjoying the course? I really hope so. Remember at the end of the course to give me a rating for the course. 16. Color Correction: One effect that it's here, but you can change your workspace to work on it. He's color grading or call it correctly. And that effect is the Lumetri color. If you go to the workspace color, you'll be ready for you to use it. Now if I go back to this image and I have my clip selected, wants us start tweaking these values. It will change automatically and we'll add the Lumetri color effect to the clip. Getting into color correcting is like getting into a new course. There's a lot of stuff here that you need to work on your images are now I'll just walk you through the simple basics of color correcting. You'll need to check up the white balance. Here is the white balance selector. And for example, on my image, I note that this line is white. So if I peak there, this will do a correct white balance. And if I'm not sure about that, are the image gets too blue. I think that the temperature, a little mark to the yellows into Teams, you can change between greens and purples. It's a good use to correct color to have this image on a second monitor. You couldn't go to Premier Pro Preferences and go to playback. On playback, you'll enable mercury transmits to the second monitor. And then you'll have a full screen monitor with only the image that comes out of your timeline. Now way, if you have two different monitors, you can match up the colors between the two of them. Color correcting is the act of correcting the colors that are wrong on your image. Color grading is giving it tone that you want to spread your message. For example, on this image, I can use the Auto button to let Premier auto correct my image. If you wanted to see the effect on and off, just breast effects to turn on and off the Lumetri Color. Which one do you think it's better? Actually, I think the first, as it was recorded, is a little better than before. So if I don't like the correction, I can just press it and get back to the correction. 17. Luts and more: If I'm using the love that I bought that someone made for me, I can go to this list and go browse my luck. You have some here, but it's only for those specific camera. You can use them as V2 effect, but it won't work as good. And you will have some part of the image that are ruin a lot is a lookup table. This means that on that table, if they say that this green is red, it will change it to red. For example, one of the most used lots is the orange into, you will find the left like that free online. Down here, you have the separation. If you put it to 0, you'll get a black and white picture. And this is the tab with basic correction. If you close the basic correction, you have also the creative. You can explore some looks in the creative tab. And as you go through the list, you have a lot of them. Just apply one of them and you can work gain density less or more. And you have some other features here to change the color grading. 18. Creating graphics: Now we're going to create some graphics as we've done before. Let's change the workspace. Now let's go into graphics. In the graphics you'll have the essential graphics on the right side here, you can browse your own templates or you can get more at the dope stoke, It's view for example, choose free. There are some free that you can use here, like the Halloween is coming. And let's use this graphics. What is doing is downloading the graphics for you to use. Now you can just drag your play head on top of the graphics, select the graphics. And you can see on the right side what controls you have to change the graphics. On global control, you can change the position or the size, or some other features like left to right, up and down. These options will depend on the graphics. Now, if we go to text controls, you have the title that you can change to something else. You can select the font that you want and you can even pick the letter spacing or the color. Then you'll have the subtitle. Here you can see lower third template. If we fold the effects controls, you have style. You can expand the box for a bigger size so that you can write more stuff, or you can change die guns on the lower third. In here, you have the icons changing. You have four options on the top and three options on the bottom. Again, this will depend on the graphics. Each graphics can have different options on the right side. If you wanted to browse more again, just good to browse and you will have more titles if you want to buy any of this, you can see the cart on the right corner. You pressed the cart and you can buy them directly from Adobe stock. If you buy an Adobe Stock subscription, you will have access to this. If you want to create your own graphics, you can create in several ways. One is going to the menu graphics and have a new layer. And choose what type of layer you can text. Vertical texts, rectangle, ellipse, or from a file. For example, let's do a rectangle. I'll position the rectangle down here as a lower third. I can change up the size. And you have all the options right here on the right side, you can change the color, the stroke, the shadow, the alignment, and you can even do the lettering. This means that if you want to change the size to make it text layer, you can add here on the New Layer and now just put the text on the position that you want. For example, if I select again the shape and I've been to the new text layer, I'll pin it to the left side and the right side once I write something different on the new text layer, for example, 12, you can see the size changing if I write something a little bigger, you can see also the size changing. This is the pain to remember. It's under shape to beam to the Adobe texts on the graphics. You can also design shapes. You can use an ellipse or retinal, or you can create using this pen tool. If you start drawing, you can click to give a point or click and drag to give a curved point. For example, if I wanted to delete everything, I'll just go to essential graphics. Select and press Delete, Delete, and delete. I still have my graphics, but I don't have any layer. Now, I'll design something like this. If you wanted to change up some points, you can press command to erase 1 or given other point just by clicking on the line. If you wanted to convert the point, if you press Alt, you can drag the points to make it curve. And now we have a famous symbol. 19. Multicam Editing: Now let's look into multi-camera with two clips. You can choose both of them. And if you have a recording audio on both of them at the same time, you can create a multi-camera, just press the right button, create multi-camera source sequence. This will pop up a window that will ask you what kind of synchronization do you want? In this case, we'll use our audio and the rest. You don't have to change anything, just press Okay, and it will synchronize by audio. Now you have a new folder that it's we processed clips where you have the two videos. If you go back, we have a sequence that is synchronized. Now, you can put this one inside another and you have only one video. But if you want to see both cameras, you can use the multi-camera. Just go to the tool, press multi-camera. And now you see the two angles that you need. You can select one or the other. And the audio is only from one camera. If you want to make live edits, like changing, you just have to, as you play the video, you can select and you can see the red line. This means that you have selected this camera and as it is playing, you changing the camera. It's really easy to do multi-camera editing like this. You can change and change and change. And once you stop, you'll see that you have your multi-camera editing done on the timeline. If you want to open the multi-camera editing as a timeline, you can press with the right button and open in timeline. Now you can see you're both clips synchronized. And for example, if you're using one audio and you want the other, you just have to change the mute, track me at this one, and remove the mood on this one. Once you go back to your timeline, you now have the audio that you selected with all the edits. As you can see on the right side, you have all the edits. It's really, really easy to use. Then if you close the multi-camera, just go back to composite video. And as you can see, you have your editing done. If you have two video clips with sizes different, what you can do is go to your multi-camera and then this one just pressed with the right button and press scale to frame size. Now it will resize to the size of the other. Now you can see both images are synchronized at the same time, and the audio is also synchronized. 20. Synchronise audio: The sun is really, really important. If you have a capture like this with no microphone, and then you have the microphone sound separately on another track. Because used external recorder, It's so easy to synchronize. You just select the both videos, press with the right button, and click on Merge Clips. Now, you will synchronize the audio using the merge and you will remove the audio from the video. Now you press OK. Once you have your clip, this is merge. And now if you drag it to the timeline, you can see that the video, it's using, the audio file and not the original audio. And the quality will be much, much better. 21. Audio editing: Now let's talk about audio. Again. We can change the workspace to audio. In here you'll have the essential sound on the right side. If you wanted to put some music, you have also Adobe stock music where you can find all kinds of music's depending on each mood that you want. For example, let's choose happy and we have a lot of happy songs. But here you need to have the subscription if you go through your project window and an important, a new sound, for example, I'm importing some sound effects. Now you can see the files that are green. And I can put a sound effects down here. If you don't want to use Adobe Stock, you can use your own songs or sound effects. Just drag them to the audio lines. If you want to edit the sound, just click on it and on the Essential Sound, go to edit in here, you have a lot of presence. For example, for dialogue, you can make a podcast voice. You can clean up nicely dialogue from radio, from television. Just go through them and see what works best for you. Some of them, you can even pick yourself and use dialogue. And once you press dialogue, you have all the different settings here. For example, if you want to remove some noise, you have it on repair. When you have reduced nice are Reduce Rumble. You have a lot of options to get your sum much better. Also, you have your clip volume that you can raise our low at it, or even muted if you want to change other settings on the audio, you can also go to effects controls. You have your volume, your channel volume, and your effects here. And as you can see, you can have animation on your audio. Just toggle the animation button. For example, if you have some music here, if you want to direct some music here, now you have your layer of music and you can select music and you have some more options. For example, one good option a uneasy to do is that ducking, since you said that this clip was the dialogue and this one was the music. Once you use the ducking inactivated, it will duck against the dialogue. This saying that you're playing the music wants the dialogue starts. It will be ducking by 18 decibels. Once you have that selected, just breast generate keyframes. If you want to see those keyframes on a timeline, you can resize the audio lane in. Now you can see the keyframes that are ducking when it comes the voice. This is a really easy and useful effect. 22. Exporting your project: Once you have all this done, all you need to do is export your video. Just go to File Export Media, or you have the shortcut Command M or on the PC Control M. On this window, you can see all your editing red here. You have a lot of presence that are useful for your expectation. For example, you can go to Format and you have all these different formats. But if you press H.264, that is the most popular one. And you got the present. You have, for example here, adobe Stock, Facebook, mobile devices, twitter, Vimeo, and YouTube. And you have here most of the resolutions that, those platforms, except you just need to pick one on the output name. You press here to decide where you're going to record your file. And you have here a lot of options. But you don't need to change because the present is already making that for you. Make sure you press here to use maximum render quality, and then just press Export and it's done. That's lessons. You have your video editing and ready to upload. 23. The End!: Hey, you made it to the end of the course, really help you learn the basics of the Premier Pro. And now you're going to be making really, really awesome videos. Serine, my next course.
