Video Editing With Premier Pro

Play media comment.

Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based video editing software application. It is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, which includes video editing, graphic design, and web development programs. It is a professional digital video editing application that allows you to capture, edit, and  publish video's

When working with Adobe Premier Pro you bring together video clips, digital images, audio, and vectore graphics to create a project file, which contains the movie that you are creating. The project file that you have created will save as a .prproj file extension.

In this unit we will create the following videos:

• Video Montage
• Public Service Announcement (PSA)

Let's take a tour

Project Panel:

The project panel is where you store all the elements needed to create your finished video. It can contain individual video clips, audio clips, titles, photos and graphical images. When you import new items they appear automatically in the project panel.

The project panel also contains sequences, which include all the data in a particular timeline. When you create a new project, the project panel contains a single sequence called Sequence 01.

                                                 The Monitor Panels                                                            

The monitor panels are where you view video clips and edited video sequences.

The left screen is the source monitor, which allows you to preview clips and make adjustments before adding them to the timeline.

The right screen is the program monitor, which shows you the active timeline.

Controls under each monitor allow you to scroll through the video and set edit points.

In the top right corner of the monitor panel is a fly-out menu containing numerous additional viewing options, including technical monitors.

Timeline:                                                                                   

The timeline panel is where your video takes shape. By dragging items from the project panel or source monitor and placing them in the desired order, you create a sequence of clips and events which play in the timeline from left to right.

With items in the timeline, you can:

1. Adjust edit points, making clips shorter or longer, or stretch them over time.
2. Create multiple layers of video, e.g. titles, superimposed images, etc.
3. Create multiple layers of audio, e.g. voiceovers, music, etc.
4. Add transitions, filters, special effects, etc.

You can also create "nested" sequences to help keep the timeline manageable.

When you have finished editing the timeline, you can play it back in real time or export it in a variety of format
