About This Class

I am here to help you create an amazing video.  Many people assume that video editing is challenging. The first time I edited a video, I had zero knowledge. The instructional videos I watched were complicated and did not cover the basic things. My video editing course will help you learn how easy and fun it is to edit.

The entire story in a video evolves at 3 stages:

1. When the script writer first writes the story.

2. When the director shoots the film.

3. When the editor finishes the final video.

What you will need:

- Adobe Premier Pro.

What you will learn:

- Understand the Video Editing Process.

- Organizing the files, Importing the footage.

- Basic Transitions, Add text, How to add music, Audio sync and export video.

- Finish editing your first amazing video.

Let's make better videos and I am sure by the end of the class you will feel much more confident in Video Editing.

FilmMaker and Editor

Teacher

I was working as a Financial Analyst in a bank for 5 years and left the job to follow my passion and dreams. I wanted to start making films, but had no knowledge. All I had was passion. Started learning things on my own, most of the times (Trial and error method) and with help of some amazing teachers as well.

I always believe that a film maker must know everything involved in a film, like editing, cinematography, music. Hence, I started learning Video editing, Cinematography (Which lead to photography). Did few advertisements, wedding videos, Short films. Wanted to learn few more things so I can earn some money, learnt Web Designing.

Do not be afraid to start something new. Keep learning and some day you will be proud of your achievements.

I hope that my class... See full profile

How to edit the video in Premiere Pro When it first started really or eating, I had no idea what software to use later on. After some research, I came to a conclusion to learn Premiere Pro. But it was not an easy task, as I had no idea about maturity, and I got frustrated many a times. We're learning new things, but I never gave up on my passion. Helped me learn it. If we have compassion and willingness to learn, you can become an amazing video editor. Apart from media reading, I'm also a photograph or cinematographer underwear prisoners. But I believe that a filmmaker must have basic knowledge about every aspect in world in filmmaking. Thanks for enrolling to my class and let's learn something new together 2. 2. All About Premier Pro: in this class, we will learn some basic editing. Using Arrow Premiere Pro Premiere Pro is not a free software, but you can about some discount coupons mentioned on the perks are skilled ship.

You can simply try, and you, too, just search free stock music and you'll get lots off wonderful music or death. If you follow the class till the end, we will be able to do something like this 3. 3. Organizing and Saving the Project: now before we started dating, Howard said this year, to create a folder and save the Fourteens and music separate. Trust me. This will help us save a lot of ever looking for clips in this folder. I have all the 40 just if you're going to use and we're here. I all of the music clips. I'm using every host NBC on most of the things that really literally or similar on Mac ways as well. Once you start premium grow. If you take you to the home screen in the home screen, you'll find any reason projects that we have been working on. If it is your first time, obviously will not find anything. We can start a new project or open an existing product, which is not listed here. Now we will be Saturday. New project First thing to do is name your project. I'm going to name it Skills Trattoria and for the location will have to select a place where Premiere Pro can save the project for us. Click on, Browse on, Look at the folder you want. I'm going to Tuesday stop as I have all met, 11 media looking to Did we do not have to worry about the remaining options here as the advance moon are lost. Now, to check if your project is saved, go back to the Ford around. Check here. We have a present friend. So now we have successfully creator our first project file. 4. 4. Layouts, Panels and Importing Media: Now let's begin with the editing process. This is the default layout and started. There are body. If you're layered, looks different. We contend it under windows. Workspace answered it all panels. You do not have to necessarily use all panels. It's personal preference. And I like all my parents to be seen you get anyway. Switch between these loads and customers according to your preference. For example, we can move this efforts control to any place we like. You can move it from here to here or any other place you like. All you have to do is just left Click and drag it. For now, let's keep it. This week, I'll explain about these layouts and panel in detail as we keep everything, the beginning, everything we will have to import the media. To do that, we can either double click here and select our go to the file in boat. We can also simply go to the folder where we have the footage, click bright and drop. However, I would suggest you to simply double click here and said the footage. Once you double click, we get this cream and here we can choose the file. We want as my files are located in the folder, I'm going to select it here. We can either open this folder, select a single file are you can sell it control in Windows or commanding Mac and select multiple fights. If you want all the first to be selector, then simply select control or comment and a they're click open. In order to keep everything organized, we'll follow another procedure. We'll go back, select the folder and click import food. What it does is it brings in all the files and creates a border in Premiere Pro. The folders accord has been If you double click the been, you can find all footages. If you want to import an audio clip as well, you'll have to go back. And to do that, you have to click on this burden on now, double click and select the music for no. You see, we have foot and separate and audio so great if they had not created this wins, we will have to search for the audio and video separately, and it would have become more difficult since both audio and video will be together. Now we have successfully important audio and Radio France Vinnie 5. 5. Project Panel and Sequence: Now that we have important media, let's learn about the project plan. The project panel contains footage, audio clips and any Magister import. If we need any details about the footage may have important, we can simply find them in the project friend. Right now, we are able to see the tummy. If you call about the thumbnail, you can get the preview off the video by clicking on the list view. We can get a lot of information. Robert the clips Me imported like we can see the frame rate, reader duration and resolution. You can also move these columns as per your preference. If you're unable to find the remaining panels, do not bury. You can just click here and friendly. Now that we have got some Brady aboard the project panel, let's start with the sequence. What a sequence. Secrets in a project is something where you can arrange your clips and music in a sequence . We can have images, music y skips and reading. We can actually have multiple sequences in a project in simple terms. Sequence contains your timeline on the editing that well, I understand much better. As we continue energy, there are multiple best to great decisions by going to five new sequence hard by clicking this button and selecting sequence. The easy way to create a sequence is by just selecting the cliff on dragging and dropping it at the time. One advantage by this method is you don't have to worry over the sequence cities. If you just another two minutes, for example, fine new sequence. Then you'll have to sell the visits, frame size or the example great and everything else. If you're sure that the video that you have imported has the exact same things that you need, then simply dragon problem. Save your time. 6. 6. Timeline, Mark In and Mark Out: we learned about sequence. Now it's time to start editing, so let's great the sequence. Using one of these cliffs, you'll notice that the Time Land has two parts we want we to with three. And so on the North visual content A one a two a three denotes audio. NPR stands for mute. The little icon means that you can either enable the clip or you can disable the clip. You can hide the radio by clicking on it. Okay? No. We select this clip and double click client. The radio pops up in the source morning. Now we can select only a particle portion off the clip that we need. This here is market, or it is also guarded in point and this is mark out. It is also called the endpoint, so the selector portion can no be taken to the sequence here. If you need only the video, then we can click on this button and drag it with the sequence. It brings in only the video. What over? You can do the same for the audio husband. Just click on this and drag it. It gets the audio party. No, let's bring in one more clip. This time I'm taking on the radio. You can place it next to the existing cliff. If you place the nuclear on top of this one, then we can't see the previous video. But if you want to hide any clip, then click on this icon 100 deserve a stickler. If we said like both clips, click on this, then we can't see anything. You can move through the timeline by left clicking the time indicator. If you want a short on the cliff, then go to the extreme end and they will find the red. I can't like this. Then you can move it to the point unit. This was in the cape. This can be done towards the beginning as well. Once you finish tearing down the clip, you can move the clip anywhere you want. You can also see the preview in the program water here. Now, if you move the indicator between the clips, you can see the preview off how the video looks. If your PC is not ableto, handle the previous. Mostly you can go ahead and change this, and this will tell the resolution, resulting in a better review 7. 7. Audio and Video Transitions: No. Let's learn how to operate transitions. Go to the FX panel. Here you can find few category statues. We can no select radio transmissions category. Among these, the most common used once or across desert and dip to black. You can find this under dessert section in Premiere Pro Cross. Just only be that before transition, but you can always change it toe any other transition you like. You can do that by just rightly called the transition and select sets erected as D for transition. Now let's see what this transition that store with you set up the transition, brag and place them between the clips. This is how the transition looks. Now let's play one more transition. If you see here, Premiere Pro is not applying it in the center. Sometimes this happens without any reason to fix this issue. Let's go to the efforts control panel and here at the alignment option, change it to center. At now, the transition is fixed. We learned how to edit the video player on our transition. Now let's learn about are you in the clips that we selected? We do not have any audio along with it. Let's select the audio clip and place it below the video clip. No, if you play the clip, we can hear the audio as well. Way can increase the height off the track by just double clicking. Here we can see that there are two tenants left and right. The landed dissenter is the world. If you scroll it up, then it increases the volume, and if it's crawling down, it decreases. I want the music to increase only at a certain time. Then we can hold control. But this changes because it and now if you click at the place we want, it creates a key free. We will discuss that. What key frames in the next list. Now let's create another key thing if I get this key for him down. So from this point to this point, the wall in gradually gains understand study. After that, we also have transitions for audio. We can either use exponential fate or constant gain to gradually increase or decrease the warning. There are many options, but since this is only for beginners, we will not get into further details 8. 8. Adding Text, Animations using Keyframes: we have no created the sequence using audio video on. We have applied transitions to them as well. Let's add some fixed Oh, the sequence. To do that, go to the temple in the menu next to the time. Let's go to the preview window by holding the left. Most button. Drag it to the place. Very one. The text appear. No. Once you're done typing the text, you'll find that there is a new track at it over here. As the name suggest, this is a graphic layer in case if you want to send a text any time later, you can always go to the essential graph expanded. If you're not able to find essential graphics, then you can go to windows and then find essential graphics. We can do a lot of things in is a geographic span it We can see the pushing of the text increase. The foreign say's, tells the foreign foreign color and sore. No, let's select the text and try increasing the size. This is a place where the increase or decrease of Fonte's make sure that you do not increase. The foreign says too much as it may go out of the frame. We can always change the textbook size as well by cleaning the selection tool your here on maintaining the size. It is up to your creativity to tend the text look more attractive. If you add another text, then you can see what we're here. That there are two text contents you can select, the one that you would like to change Gord and then make the changes. We can also add ships to our text through that we're here. We'll find a small I can click on this and we'll get various options for now else electric tangles and then cover the text with the rectangle. Then we will disable the filled as we want the text to be reasonable and then add a stroke . We can increase the size of the stroke by adjusting over here. You can also add some honey missions to the text. To do that, let's go toe efforts Control panel No go to motion, then select position. If I click on toggle animation, it enables gave him here. We can run the key frames with multiple key frames. We can create transitions with key frame were telling Premiere Pro to execute changes from here, we can move this key frame for the final push in. We want now, let's say in the person of the text, we contend either the horizontal or vertical values. Once we do that, it creates one more key free. So what happens now is from this gift came to this key frame. We'll get to see the transition that we created. We can further make this transient motor by right clicking here and then selecting is out for the first gave him and then select isn't for the final key free. Sounds confusing, right? Or don't worry, this is the correct procedure. He when I was confused by loading this. If you give it a preview, we can find that the transition is much smoother. 9. 9. Adjustment Layer and Exporting: it's now time to make this video colorful. To do that, we'll have to go to La Metrical, a pan or click on the color over here. If you don't find limited color, then we can go toe windows and then select low metrical. So with this panel, we can do some basic corrections like brightness, contrast, sharpness. Correction are we can tell the colors of the image by using Left. Lacks is nothing but a preset that changes the color in awful pitch. You can just play around with the settings here. These are all self explanation. We can reduce the high legs, increase the shadows and even setting the white balance and so toe a play. Let theirs go to create a section and Premier Pro has certain presets. We can choose one of this and you notice the difference. Traitor. Here we are bringing the changes to the single Please, What if we need to change this? For all the clips, they will have to do it multiple times. No premier Pro has a solution for it. We can create an adjustment. Lee the project panel. Click on this icon Parents Alec Adjustment Leah. This will match those taken settings, so we don't have to wait. Select bookie. Now click and drag this to the timeline. Make sure to place it on the top. We can always excellent this just mainly in the video. Now what are virgins I make to this layer? By selecting it will impact all the clips below the layer. No, let's stay doing some adjustments. Trust me, this adjustment layer says a lot of time. If you feel that the colors have changed too much, then we can reduce the intensity here to make it look natural. We can check before and after effects by turning this off and on. We are finally entering the last days of Radio City. Now let export footage so we'll go to file export and then media. Now a new window pops up over here. We can select the range, Vinnie. Once we tell the range, then we can see that the total duration off a video over here. Next step is to select the moment. I would suggest you guys to use heads north to 64 as this is the most common form it used everywhere, which is nothing but an before. If you click on the output name. We can select the location and name for the fight. These two are self explanatory. Next wheelchairs The big gate. We can find that betrayed details in the video. If you're not sure aboard the big rates, then you can leave it to the default. If you need the exact bit rate, then I would suggest you to go to the source file and take it in the properties. And then you can change the bad news according for better or put select VB Air to pass and also set a maximum Brenda quality. Here we can find the estimated Frances. Now we're all day. So let's click on Export Premiere Pro will save the file for us. This will take some time based on the final test.
