2022 Adobe® Premiere Pro Guide For Filmmakers and YouTubers

By Scott Bradley

This book is about Premiere Pro, a video editing program. Adobe Premiere Pro is a non-linear video editor. You may modify your movie in whatever sequence you like, and you can instantly reach the beginning, middle, and finish of it. In addition, it is non-destructive. This means you may confidently cut, remove, move, modify, and adjust your music and video without fear of destroying it.

 

The lessons in this book walk you through the fundamentals of working with Premiere Pro step by step. You will learn the fundamentals of taking a project from start to the end, including how to organize material, use audio, create transitions, create titles, and apply effects. You'll learn how to improve your projects by sweetening and mixing audio, compositing layered video, altering color, designing motion graphics, exporting files, and much more after you've mastered the fundamentals.

This book will show you how to use Adobe Premiere Pro to create, edit, and enhance films. Premiere Pro is the instrument for you, whether you're arranging hours of interviews, combining news clips quickly before a deadline, or crafting your magnum opus—and this book will teach you all you need to know.

You'll learn the steps of using Premiere Pro professionally and successfully. There are dozens of examples available that may be used with any movie you like. You'll be introduced to all of Premiere Pro's capabilities in practical applications, as well as best practices for efficient workflows, via step-by-step lectures.

About the Author

Introduction

Adobe Premiere Pro is used by students, amateur filmmakers, marketers, and film producers. It has several features and a nonlinear multi-track editing board. As part of Adobe Creative Cloud, it's easy to use other Adobe tools in your video.

Most editors need a basic understanding of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for image editing and logos. Most editors know Adobe After Effects comps.

Premiere Pro's design and capabilities were updated. New features include Auto Reframe, better text, graphic, audio tools, and Quick Export.

Adobe Pro Performance

The recommended amount of RAM for HD or UHD content is 16 GB or more, however, the minimum need is 8 GB. The speed of the video disk is another factor. A quick disk should be used for storing your data. When dealing with high-resolution or RAW material, it is advised that you use a RAID disk array or a solid-state drive with a rapid read/write speed. It is not recommended to store media files and application files on the same hard disk. Keep media files on a separate drive so you can speed things up and better manage your media.

Premiere Pro may utilize the graphics processing unit of your computer to speed up playing (GPU). Performance may be improved using GPU acceleration, and the majority of video cards with 2 GB of VRAM can make use of it (4 GB VRAM or more is recommended).

Chapter One

Touring Adobe Premiere Pro

You can discover a video-editing system that is compatible with the most recent cameras and technology in Adobe Premiere Pro. This system also includes very effective tools that are simple to use. These capabilities connect flawlessly with almost every format of media, such as High Dynamic Range (HDR) video and immersive 360° video (also known as VR video), in addition to a large variety of third-party plug-ins and other post-production tools. The following is a list of some of the parts that make up the Adobe Premiere Pro Interface:

Project panel

Your material may be arranged hierarchically and navigated using the Project panel, which offers a centralized area for doing so. Its basic function is to make it possible for you to see and categorize your assets using bins. You may rapidly search through and organize your assets by using the Filter field, which is represented by the magnifying glass towards the top of the screen. You may also generate new media or material using the various options that are located across the bottom of the window. These controls allow you to customize the way assets are presented. You may access this by hitting the Shift key, followed by 1, on your keyboard.

Source Monitor panel

The Source Monitor panel performs the same duties that the Source Monitor performed when it was used with linear editors. You may load your clips for real-time viewing using this panel, as well as designate In and Out points and utilize transit controls to shuttle between locations. Make it a point to investigate each of the controls which you will see below the window that makes up the Source Monitor panel. You may access this by hitting the Shift key +
