Editing a Video

[Guest Luucas]

Opening Premiere, click to create a new project. You will be directed to a screen with several different options to create a video specially with models for color systems such as PAL, NTSC, HDV and even mobile devices. The default is Standard > NTSC 48 kHz, so let's select it. (If you have more experience with the program, you can customize your settings by clicking the Custom Settings tab.) Give a name for your project and click Ok.

 

 

The basic interface of Premiere is divided into projects (1), (2), timeline (3), tools (4), sound (5) and monitors (6). You can modify it any way you deem fit, bastanto drag tabs from one side to another across the screen. This way you customize the interface of Premiere for the most convenient way possible.

Importing and editing videos

 

You can import the videos and sound files will use one of two ways: by dragging directly from Windows Explorer into the program or going to the menu File > Import. After doing this wait that the program will read all files

 

 

 

All your files will appear in the Project. You can watch or listen to any one of them giving a double-click, so it will open on your monitor. You can also create folders (Bins) to better organize your files, e.g. files, videos and sounds.

 

 

 

To add one of the clips in your project, simply drag it to the timeline. But if you want to grab only a snippet of it, it is recommended that you double-click to appear on the monitor before. So you can set a start point and an end point (2) of the part you want to use that file. There is only dragging Monitor for the timeline.

 

You can repeat this process and add as many videos you want in the timeline. The same goes for audio files: you can choose only a snippet and add them in the timeline, positioning them under video clips. Monitor right you preview your work by clicking Play.

The volume of audio clips that are inserted can be controlled through the yellow bar, simply drag it upwards and downwards. You can also adjust the sound by right-clicking on the Volume and audio going on. You can get the full audio by just dragging the yellow bar down as possible.

Adding video effects

 

The effects can be found in the Video Effects folder, clicking the tab Effects. You can choose any one of them and drag a video clip in the timeline. The control is done in the area of the left monitor, simply click on the tab Effect Controls to view the settings. And it is precisely in these settings you will adjust the intensity of the effect and how it will work. In the case of this example, we use the Lens Flare (burning lens), an effect that has as its position and intensity of the glow.

The Premiere has a very large quantity of effects divided in their categories and you certainly will find several communities of users of the program. There are some effects that can be used to correct the colors or to distort the image, as the Twirl just below.

 

Creating transitions between video clips

 

You'll find Adobe Premiere transitions tab Effects by clicking the Video Transitions folder. Works almost the same way that video effects, simply add a transition between two video clips in the timeline. Transitions are also tracked in Effect Controls.

 

 

 

You can add titles and the most diverse forms of text about the videos going to File > New > Title. Give a name to his title and will open a panel with a lot of tools to create and customize it. There are including styles ready and beautiful inside Title Styles.

 

Your title will appear as if it were a video clip, simply add in the timeline on a track that is above their normal videos.

 

Saving the video

 

Now, to save your video, go to the menu File > Export > Adobe Media Encoder. This will open the screen with the options for exporting your video. In Format you'll choose how your video will be encoded: MPEG1, MPEG2, Flash, QuickTime, Windows Media, etc. Preset will bring models of size and quality for the formats. You can choose whether to have audio only, video only, or both, by selecting or clearing the checkboxes Export Export Audio and Video.

 

 

The other options, divided into tabs on bottom, are more advanced and change automatically as you choose one of the Presets (presets). However, you can change the values manually if desired, modifying, for example Frame Width and Frame Height, options that relate to the size of the screen in pixels. On the Audio tab, you'll also find options such as the audio codec may also adjust the sound quality that will be in the video.

 

 

After you configure everything, just give Ok to open a window where you can give name to your video and save it. So, will begin the process of saving video.
