Photoshop Editing Tutorials

 Basic Premier Pro Tutorials:

Basic Overview Tutorial 1:

Understanding Panels in Premier Pro, main four are Project Panel, Source Monitor Panel, Program Monitor Panel and Timeline Panel.

• Project Panel - Import and organise the media assets you'll use in your project.
• Source Monitor Panel - Preview the clips you've imported before editing them.
• Program Monitor Panel - Preview your project as you create it.
• Timeline Panel - Arrange and edit your clips to create your actual project.

You're able to customise the size of these panels however you want, making a great work space.

Importing Media Tutorial 2:

Searching for your specific media files and importing them into the Project Panel.

Before beginning make sure to review the clips you have selected are the right ones by reviewing them in the Source Monitor Panel.

Preparing your Clips for Editing Tutorial 3:

When the clips are highlighted grey, they are made into a sequence so all the clips will be dragged into the Timeline Panel together.

When a sequence is made, everything you do to that sequence is saved within the sequence file. Such as (duration, order, colour adjustments, transitions, etc). Two audio slot are free for you to be able to stack audio together, lining up the audio with the clips is very important.

Editing your Clips Tutorial 4:

The playhead allows you to drag across to specific areas in your clips that you want to edit. Using spacebar on the keyboard allows you to start and stop the start of a sequence.

You can drag and drop clips into a different order by holding command and dragging the clip with the mouse, wherever you want it. If you don't hold down command, then the clips with just cover each other, making the sequence more difficult to rearrange. You can trim different clips using the red arrow and then dragging until the length is what yo want, you're able to do this with audio clips too.

Exporting your Project Content Tutorial 5:

To open the export settings box, press command and M.

Change the format options to 'H.264' and then change the preset option to 'Match Source - Medium Bitrate'. Name your video and then export.

Creative and Stylistic Edits Tutorials:

Changing the Speed of Clips Tutorial 1:

To change the speed of a clip, highlight the clip in the Timeline Panel and then left clip, select 'Speed/Duration' and change the percentage to the desired speed. Then you can redo this and reverse it back to the original speed.

Adding Titles Tutorial 2:

To add titles to clips, clips 'window' and then 'essential graphics' which then pops up another panel on your screen with all different types of fonts and ways the title appears onto your clips. Your titles will appear with your media clips, which you drag and drop onto the timeline panel, placing it wherever you want it to appear.

Adding Transitions to Clips Tutorial 3:

Adding transitions to your clips can be done by going into the 'Effects Panel' and then dragging and dropping the desired transition either before or after a clip on the Timeline Panel.  This same process is done for adding effects/transitions to audio as well.

Working with Audio Tutorial 4:

The white horizontal line that appears on the audio clips on the Timeline Panel, this white line can be moved up and down to change the background audio of the clip. 

Adjusting the Colour of Clips Tutorial 5:

The colours on clips can be changed with the colour wheels as well as using the Lumetri colour panel.

You can do this to make the clips seem more put together and have a better flow.
