Adobe Premiere Pro Classroom in a Book by Adobe Creative Team – PDF Drive.

Rather than show you how all of the options work while working on a project, endless time is spent in lecturing rather than doing. Been away from PPro for several years. Read the ebook “cover to cover”. Great refresher for all I’ve forgotten and especially for introducing me to all the new features. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries.

I just using this book, even though there are tons of videos out there, I really recommend this book as it will enforce your learning. Areas of the workflow that are covered in this book are in a much greater detail. Try all the exercises to concrete your understanding. Expensive book but DVD included. The text is fine but print quality of illustrations is dreadful.

Eye watering list price. However, the retailer service was excellent. This is a very informative book which takes you through all of the fundamentals of Premiere Pro.

My only complaint is that the images and icons are way too small, and they are dark grey on black which is VERY difficult to see. Instead of showing where the icon is located on the screen the authors show you the icon, which is illegible. The tutorial files are fantastic though, so I highly recommend this book for all levels. Report abuse. If you want to learn how to video edit this it the book you need. Though it is beginner to intermediate it provides enough information to create a decent video.

I do recommend learning how to video edit as I now picked up on it as a hobby and purchased a drone hoping to create fantastic videos in the future. Everyone has to start somewhere and these is where I started. I have not yet read through the entire book but it had helped me a lot!

The 18 project-based lessons in this book show users step-by-step the key techniques for working in Premiere Pro. Take a project from beginning to end and learn to organize media, add audio, create transitions, produce titles, and add effects.

Take your projects further by sweetening and mixing sound, compositing footage, adjusting color, using advanced editing techniques, managing projects, working with video for VR headsets, exporting, and much more. Premiere Pro will locate the media file inside the Lessons folder.

To hide all other files, making it easy to select the correct one, select the option to display only exact name matches. The last known file path and file name and the currently selected file path and file name are displayed at the top of the panel for reference. Select the file and click OK. Each lesson stands alone, but most build on previous lessons. For this reason, the best way to learn from this book is to proceed through the lessons one after another. As you explore the skills described in this book, you may find it helpful to review earlier lessons you have already completed and to practice the fundamental editing techniques regularly.

The advanced workflows build on fundamental principles introduced early on, and taking a few moments to recap earlier lessons makes it easier to discover the common principles that apply. Ultimately this practice makes you better at training yourself. You can download the files for individual lessons, or it may be possible to download them all in a single file.

Despite rapid change in camera systems and the distribution landscape, however, the goal of video editing is the same: You want to take your source footage and shape it, guided by your original vision, so that you can effectively communicate with your audience. Like a word processing application, Premiere Pro lets you place, replace, and move video, audio, and images anywhere you want in your final edited work.

You can edit any part of the sequence in any order and then change the contents or move clips so that they play earlier or later. You can blend layers of video together, change the image size, adjust the colors, add special effects, adjust the audio mix, and more.

Note The word clip comes from the days of celluloid film editing, where a section of film would be clipped to separate it from a reel. Each stage requires a particular kind of attention and different tools. Also, some projects call for more time spent on one stage than another. Whether you skip through some stages with a quick mental check or spend hours even days! Acquire your media: This can mean recording original footage, creating new animated content, or gathering a variety of assets for a project.

Ingest the video to your storage drive: With tapeless media, Premiere Pro can read the media files directly, usually with no need for conversion. Use fast storage for smooth playback. Organize your clips: Your project may have a lot of video content to choose from.

Invest the time to organize clips into special folders called bins in your project. You can add color labels and other metadata additional information about the clips to help keep things organized.

Create a sequence: Combine the parts of the video and audio clips you want as a sequence in the Timeline panel. Add transitions: Place special transition effects between clips, add video effects, and create combined visual effects by placing clips on multiple layers called tracks in the Timeline panel.

Create or import titles, graphics and captions: Add them to your sequence along with your video clips. Adjust the audio mix: Adjust the volume of your audio clips to get the mix just right, and use transitions and effects on your audio clips to improve the sound. Output: Export your finished project to a file or a videotape.

A large community of creative and technical professionals is waiting to share their experience and support your development as an editor. You may not incorporate all of the following features in your first few video projects.

The following topics will be covered: Advanced audio editing: Premiere Pro provides audio effects and editing tools unequaled by any other nonlinear editor. Keyframe controls: Premiere Pro gives you precise control over the timing of visual and motion effects without using a dedicated compositing or motion graphics application. Broad hardware support: Choose from a wide range of dedicated input and output hardware to assemble a system that best fits your needs and budget. GPU acceleration mode requires a graphics card that meets minimum specifications in your workstation.

Most modern cards with a minimum of 1GB of dedicated video memory will work. Multicamera editing: You can quickly and easily edit productions shot with multiple cameras.

You can automatically sync multiple camera angles based on clip audio or timecode. Project management: Manage your media through a single dialog box. View, delete, move, search for, and reorganize clips and bins. Consolidate your projects by copying just the media used in sequences to a single location.

Then reclaim storage space by deleting unused media files. Metadata: Premiere Pro supports Adobe XMP, which stores additional information about media as metadata that multiple applications can access. This metadata can be used to locate clips or communicate important information such as preferred takes or copyright notices. Creative titles: Create titles and graphics with the Essential Graphics panel.

Media encoding: Export your sequence to create a video and audio file that is erfect for your needs. Use the advanced features of Adobe Media Encoder to create copies of your finished sequence in multiple formats, based on presets or your own detailed preferences.

Color adjustments and information overlays can be applied during export, and media files can be uploaded to social media platforms in a single step. Dedicated visual effects that meet the unique demands of video are available. Premiere Pro is part of Adobe Creative Cloud, which means you have access to a number of other specialized tools, including After Effects, Audition, and Prelude.

Understanding the way these software components work together will improve your efficiency and give you more creative freedom. The software set has everything you need to produce advanced, professionally finished videos.

Adobe After Effects CC: The highly popular tool of choice for motion graphics, animation, and visual effects artists. Adobe Character Animator CC: A tool for creating advanced animation with natural movement for 2D puppets using your webcam for face tracking and keyboard shortcuts. You can work with photos, video, and 3D objects to prepare them for your project. Adobe Audition CC: A powerful tool for audio editing, audio cleanup and sweetening, music creation and adjustment, and multitrack mix creation.

Here are a few scenarios: Use Photoshop CC to touch up and apply effects to still images and layered image compositions from a digital camera, a scanner, or a video clip. Then use them as source media in Premiere Pro. Changes made in Photoshop update in Premiere Pro. Import and manage large numbers of media files with Prelude, adding valuable metadata, temporal comments, and tags.

Create sequences from clips and subclips in Adobe Prelude and send them to Premiere Pro to continue editing them. Send clips directly from the Premiere Pro timeline to Adobe Audition for professional audio cleanup and sweetening.

Use After Effects to create compositions containing advanced text animation, such as an opening or closing title sequence. Use those compositions in Premiere Pro directly thanks to Dynamic Link. Adjustments made in After Effects appear in Premiere Pro immediately. Naturally, most of this book focuses on workflows involving only Premiere Pro.

However, sidebars will explain ways to include Adobe Creative Cloud components in your workflows for powerful effects work and finishing. To make it easier to configure the user interface, Premiere Pro offers workspaces. Then launch Premiere Pro. The Home screen appears.

The first few times you launch Premiere Pro, the Home screen shows links to online training videos that will help you get started. The Home screen shows links to online training videos when you first start using Premiere Pro. If you have opened projects previously, a list will appear in the middle of the Home screen. As your list of recent projects gets longer, the links to online training videos are removed to make room for the list.

A Premiere Pro project file contains all your creative decisions for a project, links referred to as clips to your selected media files, sequences made by combining those clips, special effects settings, and more.

Premiere Pro project files have the extension. Whenever you work in Premiere Pro, you will be making adjustments to a project file. You need to create a new project file or open an existing one to use Premiere Pro. There are a few important buttons on the Home screen, some of which look like text but can actually be clicked look out for text that works as a button in the Premiere Pro interface : New Project to create a new empty project file.

Open Project to open an existing project by browsing your storage drive for the project file. Home takes you back to this screen if you have clicked Sync Settings.

Sync Settings allows you to synchronize your user settings across multiple computers. If you have used Premiere Rush to create a project, it will be available to open.

Try opening an existing project: 1. Click Open Project. Select Locate, at the bottom right. Premiere Pro will locate the missing file and highlight it on the right side of the window. Select the file, and click OK. Premiere Pro will remember this location for other missing files, and relink them automatically without your needing to link each one individually. Working with workspaces The Premiere Pro interface is divided into panels.

Each panel has a particular purpose. For example, the Effects panel lists all the effects available for you to apply to clips, while the Effect Controls panel gives you access to the settings for those effects. A workspace is a preset arrangement of panels, organized to make particular tasks easier. Every panel is accessible from the Window menu, but workspaces are a quicker way to access several panels, and have them laid out exactly as you need them, in a single step. Then, to reset the Editing workspace, click the small panel menu icon next to the Editing option on the Workspaces panel, and choose Reset To Saved Layout.

A Notice the various workspace names displayed in the Workspaces panel. Things become simpler when you know what the buttons are for. The interface is designed to make video editing easy, so commonly used controls are immediately accessible. Workspaces consist of panels, and you can save space by gathering several panels into a panel group. The names of all the panels in the group are displayed across the top. When many panels are combined, you may not be able to see all their names.

If this is the case, a list of all the panels in the group becomes available. Some important interface elements are as follows: Project panel: This is where you organize the links to your media files referred to as clips , sequences, and graphics in bins.

Bins are similar to folders—you can place one bin inside another for more advanced organization of your media assets. You view and work on sequences the term for video segments edited together in the Timeline panel. One feature of sequences is that you can nest them place one sequence inside another sequence.

In this way, you can break up a production into manageable chunks or create unique special effects. Tracks: You can layer—or composite—video clips, images, graphics, and titles on an unlimited number of tracks. Video and graphic clips on upper video tracks cover whatever is directly below them on the timeline.

Therefore, you need to give clips on higher tracks some form of transparency or reduce their size if you want clips on lower tracks to show. Monitor panels: Use the Source Monitor on the left to view and select parts of clips your original footage. The Program Monitor on the right is for viewing your current sequence, displayed in the Timeline panel.

Media Browser: This important panel allows you to browse your storage to find media. Libraries: This panel gives access to custom Lumetri color Looks, motion graphics templates, graphics, and to shared libraries for collaboration. It also acts as a browser and store for the Adobe Stock service.

Effects panel: This panel contains the effects you will use in your sequences, including video filters, audio effects, and transitions. Once applied, the controls for these effects are displayed in the Effect Controls panel.

Audio Clip Mixer: This panel is based on audio production studio hardware, with volume sliders and pan controls. There is one set of controls for each audio track on the timeline. The adjustments you make are applied to audio clips. Effect Controls panel: This panel displays the controls for any effects applied to a clip you select in a sequence or open in the Source Monitor.

If you select a visual clip in the Timeline panel, Motion, Opacity, and Time Remapping controls are always available. Most effect parameters are adjustable over time. Tools panel: Each icon in this panel gives access to a tool that performs a specific function in the Timeline panel.

Several tools have a small triangle icon, indicating a menu of additional tools. Press and hold on one of these tools to see the menu of options. Info panel: The Info panel displays information about any item you select in the Project panel or any clip or transition you select in a sequence. History panel: This panel tracks the steps you take and lets you back up easily.

When you select a previous step, all steps that came after it are also undone. The name of each panel is displayed at the top. When a panel is displayed, the name is underlined, and a panel menu appears next to the name with options particular to that panel. U sing the Learning workspace Using the Learning workspace While other workspaces are intended to facilitate a particular creative activity, the Learning workspace is an exception. This workspace includes the Learn panel, which offers a series of tutorials to help you build familiarity with the Premiere Pro interface and several important skills.

You will find the tutorials complement the exercises in this book well, and you may find it helpful to practice first with this book and then explore the relevant tutorials to reinforce the lessons you have learned. Customizing a workspace In addition to choosing between the default workspaces, you can adjust the position and location of panels to create a workspace that works best for you. You can create multiple workspaces for different tasks.

As you change the size of a panel or panel group, other panels change size to compensate. Every panel within a panel group is accessible by clicking its name.

All panels are movable—you can drag a panel from one group to another. You can drag a panel out of a group to become a separate floating panel. Position your pointer on the vertical divider between the Source Monitor and the rogram Monitor.

Drag left and right to change the sizes of those panels. Now place the pointer on the horizontal divider between the Program Monitor and the Timeline panel. Drag up and down to change the sizes of these panels. Click the name of the Media Browser panel, at the top, and drag it to the middle of the Source Monitor to dock the Media Browser panel in that panel group. Release the panel, and your workspace should have a new panel group that contains just the Effects panel. When you drag a panel by its name, Premiere Pro displays a drop zone.

If the drop zone is a trapezoid, it will create a new panel group. You can also pull panels into their own floating windows. Drop the Source Monitor anywhere, creating a floating panel. You can resize the panel by dragging a corner or a side. T Note You may need to resize a panel to see all of its controls. As you gain experience, you might want to create and save the layout of your panels as a customized workspace.

Type a name, and click OK. Now, to return to a recognizable starting point, choose the preset Editing workspace, and reset it. Premiere Pro has several types of settings.

This is the area of a panel you use to move the panel, almost like a handle you can grab the panel by. Note When panels and panel groups were first introduced in Premiere Pro, the names of panes were incorporated into a tabbed design.

Over time, the interface has been restyled and cleaned up, which led to the removal of the tabs themselves—but the name remained. Preferences will be covered in depth as they relate to the individual lessons in this book.

Drag the Brightness slider to the right to suit your preference. The default brightness is a dark gray to help you see colors correctly human perception of color is influenced by surrounding colors. There are additional options for controlling the brightness of interface highlights. Experiment with the Interactive Controls and Focus Indicators brightness sliders. Set all three settings to Default by clicking the Default buttons when you have finished.

Switch to the Auto Save preferences by clicking the preference name on the left. Imagine if you had worked for hours and then there was a power outage. With these options, you can decide how often you would like Premiere Pro to save an automated backup of your project file and how many versions you would like to keep in total.

Auto save backups have the date and time they were created added to the filename. This option creates an additional backup of your project file in your Creative Cloud Files folder. If you suffer a total system failure while working, you can log in to any Premiere Pro editing system with your Adobe ID to access the backup project file and quickly carry on working.

If you have a sudden system failure like a power outage , this is the file you will most likely want to open to continue working.

Note Premiere Pro allows you to open multiple projects at the same time. Click Cancel to close the Preferences dialog box without applying any changes.

These are usually faster and easier than clicking. Many keyboard shortcuts are shared universally by nonlinear editing systems. The spacebar, for example, starts and stops playback—this even works on some websites. The I and O keys, for example, are used to set In and Out marks on footage and sequences.

These special marks indicate the start and end of a desired section and were originally drawn on celluloid directly. Acknowledgments Producing effective learning materials for such an advanced technology is a team effort. Friends, colleagues, fellow filmmakers, and technology experts have all contributed to this book.

As each draft lesson was completed, and with the helpful guidance of Laura Norman, the most amazing and highly experienced Victor Gavenda checked over the text to make sure it was ideally accessible for learners, and all references to the technology were reviewed by the remarkable media technology expert Jarle Leirpoll, who has an incredible depth of knowledge of Premiere Pro.

I tip my hat to Linda Laflamme for spotting typos we would otherwise have missed. Some of the content of this book is derived from material originally written by the world-renowned media trainer Richard Harrington. It supports a broad range of video, audio, and image formats.

Premiere Pro lets you work faster and more creatively without converting your media. The complete set of powerful and exclusive tools lets you overcome any editorial, production, and workflow challenges to deliver the high-quality work you demand. Importantly, Adobe has carefully developed a user experience that is intuitive, flexible, and efficient, with unified design elements that match across multiple applications, making it easier to explore and discover new workflows.

The lessons are designed so that you can learn at your own pace. This book also teaches many advanced features, including tips and techniques for using the latest version of this software. The lessons in this edition include opportunities for hands-on practice using features such as chromakeying, dynamic trimming, color correction, media management, audio and video effects, and audio mixing.

Premiere Pro is available for both Windows and macOS. You can view updated system requirements here: helpx. For example, you should know how to use the mouse and standard menus and commands and also how to open, save, and close files. If you need to review these techniques, see the documentation included with your Windows or macOS system. For system requirements and complete instructions on installing the software, visit www. You can purchase Adobe Creative Cloud by visiting www.

Follow the on-screen instructions. Adobe Media Encoder is installed automatically when you install Premiere Pro. These are all included with the full Adobe Creative Cloud license.

A fast processor and a lot of memory will make your editing experience faster and more efficient. This translates to a more fluid and enjoyable creative experience—that is, more creative flow. Premiere Pro takes advantage of multicore processors CPUs and multiprocessor systems.

The speed of the storage drives you use for video playback is also a factor. A dedicated fast storage drive is recommended for your media. Storing your media files and program files on the same hard drive can affect performance. Keep your media files on a separate disk, if possible, for speed and media management.

GPU acceleration provides a significant performance improvement, and most video cards with at least 2 GB of dedicated memory will work. You will find information about hardware and software requirements on the Adobe website at helpx. You will need about 7 GB of storage space for the lesson files. Right-click the folder called Lessons and choose Copy. Navigate to the location you have chosen to store your Premiere Pro projects, right-click, and choose Paste.

Because you are copying the files to a new location, you may need to update those links when you open projects for the first time. Note If media files were originally stored in multiple locations, you may need to search more than once to relink all the media for a project. If you open a project and Premiere Pro is unable to find a linked media file, the Link Media dialog box may open, inviting you to relink offline files. If this happens, select an offline clip on the list and click the Locate button.

A file browser panel will appear. Locate the Lessons folder using the navigator on the left and click Search. Premiere Pro will locate the media file inside the Lessons folder. To hide all other files, making it easy to select the correct one, select the option to display only exact name matches. The last known file path and file name and the currently selected file path and file name are displayed at the top of the panel for reference.

Select the file and click OK. Each lesson stands alone, but many build on previous lessons. For this reason, the best way to learn from this book is to proceed through the lessons one after another. The lessons teach you new skills in the order you might normally use them. The lessons begin with acquiring media files such as video, audio, and graphics; and they go on to creating a rough-cut sequence, adding effects, sweetening the audio, and ultimately exporting the project.

As you explore the skills described in this book, you may find it helpful to review earlier lessons you have already completed and to practice the fundamental editing techniques regularly. The advanced workflows build on fundamental principles introduced early on, and taking a few moments to recap earlier lessons makes it easier to discover the common principles that apply. Ultimately this practice makes you better at training yourself.

The focus of this book is on the technical skills editors use every day to produce film, television, and online videos. Taking time to try out different ways of achieving results can help to expand your artistic skills. As you learn new technical skills, watch videos created by experienced editors with a critical eye and see if you can identify the technical workflow they employed.

More often than not, the most impactful techniques are the simplest, once you know the workflow. Practice makes perfect!

Despite rapid change in camera systems and the distribution landscape, particularly with the development of highly influential social media, the goal of video editing is the same: You want to take your source footage and shape it, guided by your original vision, so that you can effectively communicate with your audience. Like a word processing application, Premiere Pro lets you place, replace, and move video, audio, and images anywhere you want in your final edited work.

You can edit any part of the sequence in any order and then change the contents or move clips so that they play earlier or later. You can blend layers of video together, change the image size, adjust the colors, add special effects, adjust the audio mix, and more. You can combine multiple sequences and jump to any moment in a video clip or sequence without needing to fast-forward or rewind.

Note The word clip comes from the days of celluloid film editing, where a section of film would be clipped to separate it from a reel. Each stage requires a particular kind of attention and different tools. Also, some projects call for more time spent on one stage than another. Whether you skip through some stages with a quick mental check or spend hours even days!

Acquire your media: This can mean recording original footage, creating new animated content, selecting stock media, or gathering a variety of assets for a project. Ingest the video to your editing storage: With file-based media, Premiere Pro can read the media files directly, usually with no need for conversion. With tape-based formats, Premiere Pro with the appropriate hardware can convert the video into digital files.

For video editing, use fast storage for smooth playback. Organize your clips: Your project may have a lot of video content to choose from. Invest the time to organize clips into special folders called bins in your project. You can add color labels and other metadata metadata is additional information about the clips to help keep things organized. Create a sequence: Selectively combine the parts of the video and audio clips you want into one or more sequences.

Add transitions: Place special transition effects between clips, add video effects, and create composite visuals by placing clips on multiple layers called tracks in the Timeline panel.

Create or import titles, graphics, and captions: Add them to your sequence along with your video clips.

Output: Export your finished project to a file or videotape.

Premiere Pro supports each of these steps with industry-leading tools. A large community of creative and technical professionals is waiting to share their experience and support your development as an editor. Enhancing the workflow with Premiere Pro Premiere Pro has easy-to-use tools for video editing. It also has advanced tools for manipulating, adjusting, and fine-tuning your projects.

You may not make use of all of the following features in your first few video projects. Still, this book will enable you to fully postproduce professional projects and get you ready to take your skills to the next level.

The following topics will be covered: Advanced audio editing: Premiere Pro provides audio effects and editing tools unequaled by any other nonlinear editor. As well as producing a soundtrack mix, you can clean up noisy audio, reduce reverb, make sample-level edits, apply multiple audio effects to audio clips or whole tracks, and use state-of-the-art Virtual Studio Technology VST plug-ins.

Color correction and grading: Correct and enhance the look of your footage with advanced colorcorrection filters, including Lumetri, a dedicated color correction and grading panel. You can make secondary color-correction selections that allow you to adjust isolated colors, adjust selected areas of an image to improve the composition, and automatically match the colors in two images. Keyframe controls: Premiere Pro gives you precise control over the timing of visual and motion effects without using a dedicated compositing or motion graphics application.

Broad hardware support: Choose from a wide range of compatible input and output hardware. GPU acceleration: The Mercury Playback Engine operates in two modes: one that uses only software running in the central processing unit CPU for playback and one that uses graphics processing unit GPU acceleration for enhanced playback performance.

GPU acceleration mode requires a graphics card that meets minimum specifications in your workstation. See helpx.

Most modern cards with a minimum of 2 GB of dedicated video memory will work. Multicamera editing: You can quickly and easily edit productions shot with multiple cameras. Multiple camera sources are displayed in a split-view, and you can choose a camera view by clicking the appropriate screen or using shortcut keys. You can automatically sync multiple camera angles based on clip audio or timecode. Project management: Manage your media using a single dialog box.

View, delete, move, search for, and reorganize clips and bins. Consolidate your projects by copying just the media used in sequences to a single location, and then reclaim storage space by deleting unused media files. Metadata: Premiere Pro supports Adobe XMP, which stores additional information about media as metadata that multiple applications can access. You can use this metadata to locate clips or communicate important information, such as preferred takes or copyright notices.
