Editing Basics in Premiere Pro

Adobe's Premiere Pro is an amazingly powerful platform for video editing on mac OS and Windows computers. And while it can be a little bit daunting when getting started with the program, it doesn't have to be!

We have two videos below that will -- in less than 10 minutes -- guide you from the first step of creating a new project, all the way through the final step of exporting your final sequence as a video file that you can then share with the world.

This first video will tackle:

• Creating a new project
• Importing media
• Creating a timeline from media
• Resizing, moving, and manipulating media on the canvas
• Importing audio
• Trimming clips
• Making cuts using the razor tool
• Trimming clips via the Source panel
• Applying video transitions
• Adding text to the timeline
• Editing formatting of text
• Retiming video clips
• Creating freeze frames from your videos

And once all of your editing work is complete, you may be wondering how to export your sequence in a format that is shareable and up-loadable to Youtube, Vimeo, Google Drive, Canvas, etc. This second video will walk you through that. Good luck!
