Lesson Info
Starting a New Project and Premiere Pro Orientation
let's go ahead and open premiere Pro. When you open premiere pro you'll see a screen like this. Now. I have a bunch of projects that I've worked on already so you can see here the names of the projects that I've been working on. You won't have that. If you're opening up premiere Pro for the very first time to start a new project, we're going to click this new project button. But know that if you've recently worked on a project or you want to open a project that you have in your files or on an external hard drive you can click this open project button and then find it from your list of files. You could even just double click that project file from your documents or finder. I'm going to click new project that's going to open up the new project panel at the top. We're going to name this project will call this premiere Pro course and then you choose where you want to save it. There's a drop down menu for some popular locations or you can click browse and save it wherever you want. I'm goin...
g to save it into the class folder for adobe premiere Pro I'll choose select, choose for that folder. Then we have some other options too. Take care of depending on how fast your computer is, choose that Gpu acceleration option. If you have it. If not it's okay you might just have a little bit of issues if you're trying to edit. Big Large four K footage for video display format. I choose timecode, you might want to use fee or frames. If you're editing a an actual film that was shot on film. But for most digital projects, time code is good display format. Audio samples is good capture format. We're not going to be capturing anything via adobe premiere Pro. This is is if you had a camera or a deck plugged into your computer and you wanted to capture footage from a tape for scratch this This is important though. So for me I typically save all of this. Same as project. What this means is the video the renders the previews. These are files that adobe premiere Pro creates when you start a project. When you add effects when you make changes when you auto save your project. I like all of those files saving to wear. My actual project is I don't want it on some back library of the computer. I want it easily accessible. So I always choose same as project for these when you're happy with your settings with the name and with the location just click Ok. And then adobe premiere Pro will open up Now. This is probably confusing if you've never opened up Adobe premiere Pro. So in the rest of this lesson we're going to learn what these main windows or panels are. We're going to learn how to customize the view so that yours looks like this. If you're window doesn't look like this which it might not one quick way to get your window or your program to look like mine is to go up to window workspaces editing. That's the workspace we're going to start out with then we're going to learn how to customize it to understand what all these panels are. I'm going to open up the project will be working on for this course which is this Anthony Carvajal short documentary. I'm actually going to start in the bottom left with our project panel. So all of these windows have panels, some of them have tabs with other panels behind them. So see here we have project in the front behind that is the effects and if we click on the effects, the effects panel pops up the project panel is basically your documents. It's your organization panel. It's where you import files, where you create new files like titles or graphics and it's where you keep everything organized behind it. We saw this is the effects tab and this is where we have a lot of our video effects audio effects and transitions right to the right of the project and the effects panel is this toolbar. This includes all the tools that you have available for editing your footage on the timeline which is over here to the right, this is the timeline. This might seem very confusing to you and I wouldn't be surprised so don't get too worried. You will learn how to do all of this. Just know that on the top of the timeline. Starting from V one, V 2, V three, V 4. You might not have this these many layers when you open up premiere pro these are all video tracks below. On the bottom half A one a two. These are audio tracks, you can adjust the size of the track and really any panel by hovering over the line on the edge of the panel or the track and clicking and dragging. You can see me doing that right here with this panel. So all of these things I can make smaller, so you can see all the three audio tracks and there's actually nine video tracks that were using. That's a lot and it goes from zero seconds to one minute and you can see the seconds and the milliseconds right here, over on the right are our audio monitor. So if I play through this, I'm just gonna turn the audio off. But if I play through it you can see the audio levels bouncing up. So this is a good audio monitor to use. This also brings us to the program monitor up here as I play through this. This is the final product or at least the product we're working on down here. So everything we add two and you can see Anthony being funny right here for the L. S. Ice bucket challenge through on a bikini. He's a really out there. Extroverted guy thought it would be funny and we're going to learn more about his story and what he what this project is all about throughout these lessons. So I don't wanna give everything away yet. But just know he's a very extroverted funny guy. So this you can see we've added all kinds of things. We've added graphics, we've added transitions, we've added motion to photos, we've added, you can't tell but we've added color correction, adjustment layers, titles, so many things to this track and that's what all these different blocks are. Video tracks, graphics titles, color correction layers. Don't worry, we'll learn all of it. And up here in the program monitor, that's where you see what's happening on your timeline. There is these buttons down here that allow you to control playing the video track pressing space bar allows you to play or stop or you can press these buttons to and realize that I'm just skimming over a lot of these buttons. There's so many buttons that I'm not explaining right now and I had taught a premiere pro course before where I tried to explain every button as I went through everything that doesn't work that well. There is just too much going on. And so with this class we're going to learn as we actually create and as we go on Anyway, so this is the Project Program monitor. Up here and up here on the left, we have our source effects controls and audio track mixer and you might not have audio track mixer but I'll show you how to open those panels and closed panels in just a sec. The source monitor is where you preview your clips. So down here we have our folders of videos. If I open up our interview folder, I double click our first clip and then it opens up into our source monitor. If I open up our music folder and open up a music clip, our music waveform clip pops up open up here so we can check it out effects controls. This is where we actually change how effects look or the settings of an effect. So for example, I'm going to click this adjustment layer which or really any of these layers. So we have a video layer and you can see when I click on that. You see a motion opacity time. Remapping all these tabs open up some of these come included with every layer that you put on your timeline. Something like the loo metric color effect. That's something that I added afterwards. That's an effect down here in the effects panel that we added, we'll learn how to do that in this course. And then the last one is the audio track mixer. You might not have this open and if you don't have it open, let me show you how to do that. But first let me close it and you can close any of these panels by right clicking and choosing Close panel. So if you don't have the audio track mixer open, go up to window and click the audio track mixer right here and that pops open. Audio track mixer now. It might not have opened it up right here in this source monitor panel up here in the top left. So to customize your space, let's go back to our other project. So here we are in our other project, it still has the audio track mixer open. Say we want to move this audio track mixer down below our project panel or in this panel behind Effects, we can click any of these panels drag it around and move it and you can see as I move it, different panels get highlighted. If I wanna just add it right into this panel, just drag it into the middle and let go. You can see that it drags it into this panel if I want, I can actually add it to the top and add a completely new panel or the right or the bottom or the left. So see what happens when I click and I can click over here when it's highlighted in the right, A new panel pops open or if I want it on the left up here, it opens up a new panel on the left. If you're following along, it's probably a lot easier to just play around with this and understand how to do it. You can resize as I mentioned before. You can drag the tabs to the left or right to adjust the order of the tabs. Say I want audio track mixer before the effects controls. I can just drag it into the middle of those two panels. The goal with this lesson and moving into the next lesson is to set up your project to look like my setup right now. So you want your project panel with effects, You want your timeline down in the bottom right? The program up in the top right. And then the source audio track mixer. Not the audio clip mixer, audio track mixer and the effects controls up in the top left to save this workspace so that if it ever gets messed up or if you ever add new panels or open new panels but want to revert to this setup, go to window workspaces, save as new workspace, click that and then name your workspace and click OK. Already have one that's set up like this. It's called Phil's single monitor. It's basically the same setup affects controls is in the middle rather than over to the right. But now, whenever I want to go back to that Phil's single monitor setup, I can just click that Phil's single monitor and you can see that I have sam will these are friends who have used my computer or I've opened projects on their computers and it saves those workspaces as well. Thank you so much for watching in the next lesson. We're going to learn how to import and organize our footage.
