The
Project panel
organizes all
the assets for your
project.
Digital assets can include video clips, digital images, and audio clips.The Timeline panel is where you assemble assets and edit them.Slide7
Creating a New Project and Exploring the Workspace
The
Source
Monitor
is used to preview
assets from
the Project panel or the Media Browser before you place them in a sequence.The Program Monitor displays the contents of the Timeline—your project in progress.Slide8
Creating a New Project and Exploring the Workspace
The New Project dialog box opens up when you create a new project. It has two tabs:
General tab
is where you adjust settings regarding safe margins and video/audio formats.
Scratch Disks tab
provides settings for a variety of files associated with the video editing process including where they are stored.Slide9

A
sequence
is where the digital assets are
placed and
edited. At least one sequence is required in a Premiere Pro project, which is why you are prompted to create one when beginning a project.The New Project dialog box opens up when you create a new project.Slide11
Creating a New Project and Exploring the Workspace
The New Sequence dialog box has three tabs:
Sequence Presets
Settings
TracksSlide12

tab has a number
of categories
of sequence settings for commonly used capture devices.It is recommended that you choose the preset that matches the settings for your device if it is available. Slide14
Creating a New Project and Exploring the Workspace
The
Settings tab is available to
customize settings
if there is not a preset available
for your device.
It is recommended that you use the preset that is the closest match to your device and continue with any necessary customizations on the Settings tab.Slide15
Creating a New Project and Exploring the Workspace
The
Tracks tab allows you to indicate
how many
video and audio tracks will be
added when
the sequence is created; by default, three video tracks and three stereo audio tracks are created.Tracks can be added or deleted later.Slide16
Importing Assets
A Premiere Pro CS6 project is a single
file that
stores all references to digital assets
used in
the
project.Digital assets may include video, audio, still images, and Photoshop and Illustrator files.Slide17
Importing Assets
A
project
file
also
contains sequences (or timelines
); these are where the digital assets are placed and edited.Video projects characteristically take up a lot of memory so to help keep the file size down, Premiere Pro creates reference files
that point to the original files being imported.Slide18
Importing Assets
The
Project panel is your “
file
cabinet” of assets.
You can create bins to help organize
your Project panel.Bins may contain assets, sequences, or other bins.Slide19

Working with the Timeline Panel and Sequences
A
sequence
is located in the Timeline
panel and
is where
most editing takes place.Adobe Premiere Pro can have multiple sequences and you can place sequences inside other sequences to break your project up into
manageable pieces.Slide25
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
Sequences are comprised of video
and audio tracks.
Tracks
are where the clips
are assembled, edited, and enhanced with effects and transitions.Slide26
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
A
sequence can consist
of multiple
audio and video tracks, but
must contain at least one of each.Multiple tracks are used to blend clips together.Slide27
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
The
Timeline panel includes the
following features:
Time Ruler

The
Time ruler
measures
the time
in the sequence horizontally.Icons for markers and In and Out points are also displayed here.Slide30
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
The
Current-time display
shows the timecode for the
current frame.
Timecodes mark specific frames with unique addresses and are recorded onto videotape during the recording process.Slide31
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
The
Current-time Indicator (CTI)
indicates the
current frame displayed in the Program Monitor.The CTI is a light gold triangle in the Time ruler with a vertical red line extending through the video and audio tracks.Slide32
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
The
CTI can be moved by
clicking and
dragging on the gold
triangle.This can also be used as a preview method, referred to as scrubbing.Slide33
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
The
work area bar
indicates
the area
of the sequence that you want to preview or export.The brackets on either end, located just below the Time ruler, are adjustable so you can export portions of a large project for
preview.Slide34
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
The
horizontal
zoom bar
is the area that corresponds with the visible portion of the Timeline panel
and allows you to quickly move to different parts of the sequence.Slide35
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
The
ends of the
horizontal zoom
bar can be used to increase or
decrease the number of visible frames in the viewing area.The horizontal zoom bar allows you to adjust the range of time being viewed in the Timeline panel.Slide36
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
To add clips to
a sequence on the Timeline
panel, simply
drag the
clip from the Project panel to the sequence.If it is an audio clip it needs to be placed on an audio track; all other clips are placed on video tracks.Slide37
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
You are also able to add clips to a
sequence while
previewing them on the Source Monitor.
You can either drag an image from the Source Monitor to a track, or use the Insert button
or the Overwrite button on the Source Monitor to place the clip on the sequence.Slide38
Working with the Timeline Panel and
Sequences
Premiere
Pro has a command that lets you
place images
from a storyboard on a sequence
in the order that they were organized. This feature is called Automate to Sequence.Slide39

The
Program Monitor plays back the
clips you
are assembling in the active
sequence on the Timeline panel for you to preview.Slide44
Applying Video Transitions
A transition is used to move from one clip
to the
next in your
sequence.
Transitions can add
additional interest to your video and can be as simple as phasing out one image and phasing in another.Slide45
Applying Video Transitions
After
you
find
the transition you want
to apply
on the Effects panel, simply drag the transition to the vertical line between two clips, known as the cut line, and release the mouse button.By default, the
transition is placed centered on the cut, which is the space between two clips.Slide46
Applying Video Transitions
You
can place or
align the
transition in one of three ways: Center
at Cut
, End at Cut, or Start at Cut. By default, the transition is placed centered on the cut, which is the space between two clips.Slide47

Applying Video Transitions
When working with transitions, it is a
good idea
to change to the
Effects
workspace
.Different options are available on the Effect Controls panel for each transition.Slide49
Applying Video Transitions
Some transitions have edge selectors,
which are
arrows that change the orientation
or direction
of a
transition.Start and End sliders can be changed with the three alignment settings.Slide50
Applying Video Transitions
The
Show Actual Sources
setting displays
the starting
and ending frames of the clips
.The Border Width setting adjusts the width of the optional border on the transition. The default border width setting is 0.0.Slide51
Applying Video Transitions
The
Border Color
setting
specifies
the color
of the transition’s border.The Reverse setting plays the transition backward.Slide52
Applying Video Transitions
The
Anti-aliasing Quality
setting adjusts the
smoothness of the transition’s edges
.
The Custom setting changes settings specific to the transition.Most transitions do not have custom settings.Slide53

Working with Motion Effects
A keyframe is a snapshot
of how
you want a clip to look at a
specified time
, and is
defined on the Effect Controls timeline.When working with keyframes you always need to define at least two keyframes: a start point and an end point.Slide55

Working with Motion EffectsSlide56
Working with Motion Effects
A basic
effect
that provides a lot of impact
is to
fade an image in and
out.Fading is created by applying the Opacity effect. Slide57
Working with Motion Effects
Opacity
adjusts the
level of transparency on a scale of 0%
to 100%.
If
you set the Opacity at 0% your clip is completely transparent; at 100% it has no transparency.Slide58
Examples of Opacity

Working with Motion Effects
The
Program Monitor provides
another option
to work with applying motion
effects
.The Motion properties—Position, Scale, and Rotate—are spatial in nature and therefore easier to manipulate on the Program Monitor.Slide60
Working with Motion Effects
When
working with Motion
Effects
controls
you need
to create only one keyframe.Additional keyframes are created automatically at the location of the CTI.Slide61

Designing and Inserting Titles
Titling is an important way to enhance
your message
and to provide credit by adding
text to
the video montage
.Titling allows you to bring a stronger message or meaning to your video montage through the addition of quotes.Slide63
Designing and Inserting Titles
The
Titler
is a free-floating
window that is made
up of a group of panels that are all related to creating titles.Slide64

Premiere Pro
offers
the option to create a
title from
either the File menu or the Title menu.
If you choose to create a title from the Title menu you can choose among three types of titles: Default Still, Default Roll, or Default Crawl.Slide66
Designing and Inserting Titles
A title that has
fixed
text is called
still
.
Titles in which text moves vertically over the footage are called rolls.If the text moves horizontally, it is referred to as a crawl.Slide67

Designing and Inserting Titles
While working with the Title
Properties panel
, if you create a format you really
like you
can save it as a style and add it to the Title Styles panel
.The style you create then becomes part of the Style library in Premiere Pro and is available to you in all projects that you create.Slide72

Styles are a great way to keep a consistent
look and
feel when working in a project
without having
to remember all the settings you
chose to make the style.Slide73

Exporting a Movie
Export
or
encode your movie
so that other people
will be
able to view it.You can export to videotape, create a file for viewing on a computer or the Internet, or put your
project on a DVD or Blu-ray disc with or without menus and other features.Slide75
Exporting a Movie
You need to consider a few options when
you export
a movie for others to view on
another computer
or the
Internet.Reducing file size is important for storage, transmission, and effective playback.Slide76
Exporting a Movie
Codecs (
compressor/decompressors
, also known
as encoder/decoders
)
make video Web-friendly.A streaming video is also referred to as live streaming video.Streaming video occurs when a video is played much
like a traditional live broadcast on television, accept that it is affected
by the bandwidth that is available.Slide77
Exporting a Movie
Buffering
(delay
before the
video begins to play) may occur when the bandwidth does not meet the
required need
of the video that is playing; that is, the video pauses until the bandwidth becomes sufficient again.Progressive downloadable video plays the movie without interruption.Slide78
Exporting a Movie
You have two options for exporting a
file from
the Export Settings dialog box: you
can choose
either the Queue button or the
Export button.The Queue button launches the Adobe Media Encoder application using the designated export settings; this application then renders and saves the file.Slide79
Exporting a Movie
The
Export button
uses the
export settings designated in the Export
Settings
dialog box.An Encoding dialog box launches showing the approximate time it will take to export the file.Slide80
