Adobe premiere pro cc classroom in a book [2] – replace.me

 

Vector graphics are mathematical descriptions of shapes rather than drawn pixels. This means you can scale them to any size and they always look sharp.

Vector graphics are typically used for technical illustrations, line art, or complex graphics. A clip linked to the Illustrator file you imported will appear in the Project panel. Notice the black text in the logo disappears into the black background of the Source Monitor. If you have Illustrator installed on your computer, choosing Edit Original will open this graphic in Illustrator, ready to be edited.

It always merges them into a single layer clip. This conversion happens during import automatically, so be sure your graphics are configured to be large enough in Illustrator before importing them into Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro sets all empty areas of Illustrator files as transparent so that clips on lower tracks in your sequence will show through.

You can select a whole folder. Try this now. Premiere Pro imports the folder and its contents, including two subfolders containing photos. You can click the disclosure triangle next to any bin to toggle the display of its contents. If so, an information message will inform you that some files could not be imported. Importing VR video What is often referred to as VR video is really video that is best viewed using a VR headset as it captures an image in all degrees.

When wearing a VR headset to view this kind of video, you can turn your head to look in different directions. There is no special import process for video—you can use the regular Import option, or you can use the Media Browser panel and import as you would any other video. Premiere Pro expects prestitched equirectangular media, so you will have to use another application to prepare your media in this way prior to import.

The excellent video workflows in Premiere Pro are beyond the scope of this book—check the online help for more information. Adobe Stock offers millions of images and videos you can easily incorporate into your sequences via the Libraries panel. Note You may have noticed the word conform is used to describe both the way clip playback is adjusted to match sequence settings and the way certain formats are processed when imported to Premiere Pro. This is particularly true for highly compressed formats, and the process is called conforming.

If necessary, imported audio files are automatically conformed to a new CFA file conformed audio file. Most MPEG files are indexed, leading to an extra. The media cache improves preview playback performance by making it easier for your editing system to decode and play media.

You can customize the cache to further improve performance. A media cache database helps Premiere Pro manage these cache h iles, which are shared between multiple Creative Cloud applications. Here are the options: To move the media cache files or the media cache database to a new location, click the appropriate Browse button, select the desired location, and click Choose macOS or Choose Folder Windows.

In most cases, you should not move the media cache database during an editing project. Select Save. If you want to keep everything in one central folder, leave this option unselected.

You should clean the media cache database on a regular basis to remove old conformed and indexed files that are no longer required. To do so, click the Delete Unused button. Any connected drives will have their cache files removed. The Media Cache Management options allow you to configure a degree of automation in the management of caches files. Click Cancel to close the Preferences dialog box without saving your changes. Tape vs. To bring footage from tape into a Premiere Pro project, you can capture it.

Capture digital video from tape to your system storage before using it in a project. There are three basic approaches: You can capture your entire videotape as one long clip. With some tape formats, you can use the scene detection feature in Premiere Pro to automatically create separate clips based on every time you pressed Record on your camera.

These come in several form factors, including internal cards and breakout boxes that connect via FireWire, USB 3. This can be helpful because it will give you a sense of timing for your edits. Try recording a scratch audio track. You may need to consult the documentation for your computer or sound card. Every audio track has a set of buttons and options on the far left.

This area is called the track header. Turn down your computer speakers, or use headphones to prevent feedback or echo. Increase the height of the A1 track.

To increase the height of an audio track, drag down on the horizontal dividing line between two audio track headers, or hover the pointer over the track header, while holding Option macOS or Alt Windows , and scroll the mouse wheel. In the Timeline panel, time moves from left to right, just as it does with any online video. At the top of the Timeline panel, where the time ruler is displayed, a playhead indicates the current frame displayed in the Program Monitor. You can click at any point in the time ruler and the playhead will move to show that frame.

You can also drag on the time ruler itself to view the contents of the current sequence. This is called scrubbing like scrubbing a floor. After a brief countdown, recording will begin. Say a few words, and press the spacebar to stop recording. A new audio clip is created and added to the Project panel and the current sequence.

You may close it or leave it open for the next lesson. Where can media cache files be stored? How can you enable proxy media file creation when video is imported? The Media Browser understands the complex folder structures for P2, XDCAM, and many other formats, and it shows you the clips in a visually friendly way. If you want layers as separate clips, choose Individual Layers and select the layers to import, or choose Sequence to import the selected layers and create a new sequence from them.

You can store media cache files in any specified location or automatically on the same drive as the original files when possible. The faster the storage for your cache, the better the playback performance. You can enable proxy media file creation in the Ingest settings.

You can also enable proxy creation by selecting the box at the top of the Media Browser. Doing so can save you from spending hours hunting for things later. Alternatively, open the project file Lesson To begin, reset the workspace to the default. In the Workspaces panel, click Editing. Then click the panel menu adjacent to the Editing option, and choose Reset To aved Layout.

Rename the file to Lesson 04 Working. Anything that appears in a sequence must also be in the Project panel. If you delete a clip in the Project panel that is already used in a sequence, the clip will automatically be removed from the sequence. Premiere Pro will warn you if deleting a clip will affect an existing sequence. In addition to acting as the repository for all your clips, the Project panel gives you important options for interpreting media. All your footage will have a frame rate frames per second, or fps and a pixel aspect ratio pixel shape , for example.

You may want to change these settings for creative or technical reasons. S he Project panel in List view. To switch to this view, click the List View button at the bottom left of the panel. You might receive a video file that has the wrong pixel aspect ratio setting and want to correct it. Premiere Pro uses metadata associated with footage to know how to play it back. If you want to change the clip metadata, you can do so in the Project panel.

The default Editing workspace is designed to keep the interface as clean as possible so you can focus on your creative work.

Open the Project panel menu. Choose Preview Area. The Preview Area shows useful information about clips when you select them. Tip You can access lots of clip information by scrolling the List view or by hovering your pointer over a clip name. You can do this with any panel. The Preview Area shows you several kinds of useful information about a selected clip in the Project panel, including the frame size, pixel aspect ratio, and duration. Click the Poster Frame button to set the clip thumbnail displayed in the Project panel.

Choose Preview Area from the Project panel menu again to hide it. Finding assets in the Project panel Working with clips is a little like working with pieces of paper at your desk. But when you have to , you need an organizational system. One way you can help make things smoother during the edit is to invest a little time in organizing your clips at the beginning. Tip You can scroll the Project panel view up and down using the scroll wheel on your mouse, or using a gesture if you have a touchpad.

Note You may need to drag a heading divider to expand the width of a column before you can see its sort order indicator or all of the information available in the column.

Click the Name column heading at the top of the Project panel. The items in the Project panel are displayed in alphabetical order or reverse alphabetical order each time you click the Name heading. A direction indicator next to the heading shows the current sort order.

Scroll to the right until you can see the Media Duration heading in the Project panel. Click the Media Duration heading. Premiere Pro now displays the clips in order of media duration. Notice the direction arrow on the Media Duration heading. Each time you click the heading, the direction arrow toggles between showing clips in order of increasing duration and or decreasing duration.

Drag the Media Duration heading to the left until you see a blue divider between the Frame Rate heading and the Name heading. When you release the mouse button, the Media Duration heading will be repositioned right next to the Name heading. Tip The Project panel configuration is saved with workspaces, so if you want to always have access to a particular setup, save it as part of a custom workspace. At the top of the Project panel, you can type in the Search or Filter Bin Content field to display only clips with names or metadata matching the text you enter.

This is a quick way to locate a clip if you remember its name or even part of its name. Note The name bin comes from film editing. Click in the Filter Bin Content box, and type jo.

Premiere Pro displays only the clips with the letters jo in the name or in the metadata. Click the X on the right of the Search field to clear your search. Type psd in the box. Premiere Pro displays only clips that have the letters psd in their name or metadata. Using the Filter Bin Content box in this way, you can search for particular types of files. Do this now. Using advanced Find Premiere Pro also has an advanced Find option.

To learn about it, start by importing some more clips. Premiere Pro displays the Find dialog box, which has more advanced options for locating your clip. You can perform two searches at once with the advanced Find dialog box.

You can choose to display clips that match all search criteria or any search criteria. For example, depending on the setting you choose in the Match menu, you could do either of the following: Search for a clip with the words dog and boat in its name. Search for a clip with the word dog or boat in its name. To do this, make choices from the following menus: Column: Choose one of the columns in the Project panel.

When you click Find, Premiere Pro will search only within the column you choose. Operator: Choose from a set of common search parameters to determine whether the search will return a clip for which the column chosen in the first menu contains, matches exactly, begins with, or ends with whatever you search for.

Match: Choose All to find a clip with both your first and your second search text. Choose Any to find a clip with either your first or your second search text. Case Sensitive: Select this option to return only results that exactly match the uppercase and lowercase letters you enter.

Find What: Type your search text here. You can add up to two sets of search text. Tip You can find clips in sequences too. When you click Find, Premiere Pro highlights a clip that matches your search criteria. Click Find again, and Premiere Pro highlights the next clip that matches your search criteria. Click Done to exit the Find dialog box. Just as with folders on your hard drive, you can have multiple bins inside other bins, creating a folder structure as complex as your project requires.

Click the New Bin button at the bottom of the Project panel. Premiere Pro creates a new bin and automatically highlights the name, ready for you to rename it. You can also create a bin using the File menu. One of the quickest and easiest ways to create a new bin for clips you already have in your project is to drag and drop the clips onto the New Bin button at the bottom of the Project panel.

Make sure the Project panel is active, but no existing bins are selected. Note It can be difficult to find a blank part of the Project panel to click when it is full of clips. If your Project panel is set to List view, with the Name heading selected for sorting at the top of the panel, bins are displayed in alphabetical order among the clips. Type the new name, and click away from the text to apply it.

As you move clips into bins, use the disclosure triangles to hide their contents and tidy up the view. Note When you import a Photoshop file with multiple layers and choose to import it as a sequence, Premiere Pro automatically creates a bin for the layers and their sequence.

Drag the clip Under Basket. MOV into the City Views bin. Drag the sequence called First Sequence into the Sequences bin. Drag all the remaining clips into the Theft Unexpected bin. You should now have a nicely organized Project panel, with each kind of clip in its own bin. You can also copy and paste clips to make extra copies if this helps you stay organized.

Click the disclosure triangle for the Graphics bin to display the contents. Click the disclosure triangle for the Theft Unexpected bin to display the contents. Premiere Pro places a copy of the clip in the Theft Unexpected bin. Note Notice the clip Under Basket. MOV has a file extension all in caps. This makes no difference for your operating system or for Premiere Pro. Note When you make copies of clips, you are not making copies of the media files they are linked to.

You can make as many copies as you like of a clip in your Premiere Pro project. Those copies will all link to the same original media file. Premiere Pro will open the folder in your storage drive that contains the media file.

This can be useful if you are working with media files stored on multiple hard drives or if you have renamed your clips in Premiere Pro. Changing bin views Although there is a distinction between the Project panel and the bins inside it, they have the same controls and viewing options. Bins have two views.

You choose between them by clicking the List View button Icon View button or at the bottom left of the Project panel. List view: This view displays your clips and bins as a list, with a significant amount of metadata displayed. You can scroll through the metadata and use it to sort clips by clicking column headers. Icon view: This view displays your clips and bins as thumbnails you can rearrange and use to preview clip contents.

The Project panel has a zoom control, next to the List View and Icon View buttons, hich changes the size of the clip icons or thumbnails. Click the Icon View button on the Theft Unexpected bin to display thumbnails for the clips.

Try adjusting the zoom control. Premiere Pro can display large thumbnails to make browsing and selecting your clips easier. You can also apply various kinds of sorting to clip thumbnails in Icon view by clicking the Sort Icons menu w. Switch to List view. Try adjusting the Zoom control for the bin. Open the panel menu and choose Thumbnails. Premiere Pro now displays thumbnails in List view, as well as in Icon view.

Try adjusting the Zoom control. The clip thumbnails show the first frame of the media. In some clips, the first frame will not be particularly useful. Look at the clip HS Suit, for example.

The thumbnail shows the clapperboard, but it would be useful to see the character. Note You can also change the font size in the Project panel or a bin by clicking the panel menu and choosing Font Size.

Note Selecting a clip by clicking its thumbnail reveals a small timeline control under it. Drag on this timeline to view the contents of the clip. You can keep as many bins open as you like and place them anywhere in the interface to help you stay organized. Switch to Icon view. In this view, you can hover the pointer over clip thumbnails to preview clips. Hover your pointer over the HS Suit clip. Move the mouse until you find a frame that better represents the shot.

While the frame you have chosen is displayed, press the I key. The I key is the keyboard shortcut for Mark In, a command that sets the beginning of a selection when choosing part of a clip that you intend to add to a sequence. The same selection also sets the poster frame for a clip in a bin.

Premiere Pro shows your newly selected frame as the thumbnail for this clip. Choose Thumbnails from the panel menu to turn off thumbnails in List view. Creating Search bins When using the Search field to display specific clips, you have the option to create a special kind of virtual bin, called a Search bin. 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 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. Adobe Photoshop: The industry-standard imageediting and graphics-creation product.

You can work with photos, video, and 3D objects to prepare them for your project. Adobe Audition: The powerful system for audio editing, audio cleanup and sweetening, music creation and adjustment, and multitrack mix creation. Adobe Illustrator: Professional vector graphicscreation software for print, video, and the Web. Adobe Media Encoder: A tool that allows you to process files to produce content for any screen directly from Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Audition. Adobe Dynamic Link: A cross-product technology that enables you to work in real time with media, compositions, and sequences shared between After Effects, Audition, and Premiere Pro.

Here are a few scenarios: Use Photoshop 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. Send clips directly from the Premiere Pro timeline to Adobe Audition for professional audio cleanup and sweetening. Changes made in Audition update in Premiere Pro. Send an entire Premiere Pro sequence to Adobe Audition to complete a professional audio mix, including compatible effects and level adjustments; the session can contain video so you can compose and adjust levels in Audition based on the action.

Apply special effects, add animation, and add visual elements in After Effects. Adjustments made in After Effects appear in Premiere Pro immediately. Use After Effects to create motion graphics templates that are directly editable in Premiere Pro.

Dedicated controls allow specific types of changes to be made while retaining the original look and feel of the template. Use Adobe Media Encoder to export video projects in multiple resolutions and codecs for display on websites, display via social media, or archiving. You can use the built-in presets, effects, and social media support to upload directly from Premiere Pro to social media platforms. 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 additional effects work and finishing. To make it easier to configure the user interface, Premiere Pro includes workspaces. Workspaces quickly configure the various panels and tools onscreen in ways that are helpful for particular activities, such as editing, special effects work, or audio mixing.

Next, 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.

You can hover the pointer over a recent item to see the project file location in a pop-up window. 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 creates a new empty project file.

Open Project enables you 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 or Learn. Sync Settings allows you to synchronize your user settings across multiple computers. Any projects you created with Premiere Rush will be available here, as long as you used the same login as for Premiere Pro.

Try opening an existing project: 1. Click Open Project. In the file navigation dialog box that appears, navigate to the Lessons folder; then double-click the Lesson Leave the file open for the next exercise. After you open an existing project file, a dialog box may open asking where a particular media file is. 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. With Lesson Save a copy of the project with the name Lesson 01 Working. This project contains a number of video clips.

Note Unlike other panels, the Timeline panel does not include its own name in its heading. Instead, the name of the current sequence is shown. This works the same way as the playhead when viewing video files in a player. Drag the playhead to the far left of the Timeline panel. Press the spacebar to play the current sequence. The Program Monitor top-right corner of the Premiere Pro interface displays the contents of the sequence.

In the lower-left corner of the Premiere Pro interface, you will find the Project panel, which contains clips and other assets associated with the current project. The panel name includes the current project name, Project: Lesson 01 Working. The lower-left corner of the Project panel holds a series of buttons that you use to select different ways of viewing the contents of the panel. Icon View makes it easier to identify clips based on their contents.

Drag the clip with the name JD. Be sure to drag it by the thumbnail image and not the clip name. Release the new clip at the end of the existing series of clips already in the Timeline panel.

Scroll down in the Project panel and find several more clips of your choice to add to the sequence. Drag each one into the sequence. At any time, you can position the Timeline playhead at the beginning of the sequence at its left end , and use the spacebar to start and stop playback. When you have finished adding several clips to the sequence, play through it to see the result.

You can place the Timeline playhead anywhere and play from that moment. There is one item you will not be able to drag from the Project panel into the sequence: the sequence itself, called Desert Montage.

The Project panel contains both clips and sequences. You can have as many sequences as you like in a project, and they are identifiable by the icon in the lower-right corner of the clip thumbnail , which shows multiple clips combined. You edited a sequence! Exploring 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. 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. Click the chevron in the upper-right corner of the panel group to access a panel. The principal elements are shown here.

Some of the important interface elements include: Project panel: This is where you organize your clips these are the links to your media files , sequences, and graphics in bins. Bins are similar to folders—you can place one bin inside another for more advanced organization of your project.

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.

Combining sequences 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. To view a clip in the Source Monitor, doubleclick its icon in the Project panel. The Program Monitor on the right shows the contents of your current sequence, displayed in the Timeline panel. Media Browser: This important panel allows you to browse your storage to find media to import into your project. Libraries: This panel gives access to custom Lumetri color Looks, motion graphics templates, graphics, and shared libraries for collaboration.

It also acts as a browser and store for the Adobe Stock service. For more information, go to helpx. Effects panel: This panel contains most of 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. 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 or Project panel.

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

The Selection tool is context-sensitive, which means it changes function depending on where you click. 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 easily undo a series of changes. When you select a previous step, all steps that followed it are also undone. Most panels display their name at the top. When a panel is displayed, the name is underlined, and the panel is outlined in blue. Most panels have a menu next to the name with options particular to that panel.

Using the Learning workspace Although other workspaces are intended to facilitate a particular creative activity, the Learning workspace is an exception. This workspace includes the Learn panel, which offers tutorials to help you build familiarity with the Premiere Pro interface and learn 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. You can double-click the name of any panel to toggle it between full screen and its original size. In the Project panel, double-click the icon for the clip AO.

Be careful to double-click the icon and not the name, as clicking the name selects the text, making it ready for renaming.

Position your pointer on the vertical divider between the Source Monitor and the Program Monitor. Drag left and right to change the sizes of those panels. You can choose to have different sizes for your video displays, which is useful at different stages of post-production. 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 its top , and drag it to the middle of the Source Monitor until a blue rectangle appears the drop zone. Release the Media Browser panel to dock it in that panel group. The drop zone is displayed as a center highlight. Drag the Effects panel which is grouped with the Project panel by default by its name to a point just inside the right edge of its current panel group until a blue trapezoid-shaped area the drop zone is highlighted.

Release the Effects panel; it is now alone in its own panel group. When you drag a panel by its name, a drop zone is displayed. If the drop zone is a trapezoid, it will create a new panel group. You can also pull panels into their own floating windows. Note You may need to resize a panel to see all of its controls. Drop the Source Monitor anywhere, creating a floating panel. You can resize the panel by dragging a corner or a side.

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. For example, panel menus , which are accessible by clicking the menu button next to a panel name, have options that relate to each panel, while individual clips in a sequence have settings you can access by rightclicking them.

The panel name, displayed at the top of each panel, is often referred to as the panel tab. This is the area of a panel you use to move the panel, almost like a handle you can grab the panel by. There are also application-wide user preferences, which are grouped into a single dialog box for easy access.

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.

The difference in the onscreen sample is subtle, but adjusting these sliders can make quite a big difference to your editing experience. Set all three settings to Default by clicking the Default buttons when you have finished. Switch to the Auto Save preferences by clicking Auto Save 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. Note Premiere Pro allows you to open multiple projects at the same time. 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. Click Cancel to close the Preferences dialog box without applying any changes. These are usually faster and easier than clicking—once you know them. Several keyboard shortcuts are shared universally by nonlinear editing systems.

The spacebar, for example, starts and stops playback—this even works on some websites. Some standard keyboard shortcuts come from celluloid film-editing traditions. The I and O keys, for example, are used to set In and Out points for footage and sequences: These special marks indicate the start and end of a desired section and were originally drawn on celluloid directly.

Many shortcuts are available, but not all are assigned a key by default. This allows flexibility when setting up your editing system. It can be a little daunting to see the number of keyboard shortcuts available, but by the end of this book you will recognize most of the options displayed here. Some keyboard shortcuts are specific to individual panels.

Open the Commands menu at the top of the dialog box, and choose the name of a panel to create or edit shortcuts for that panel. Specialized keyboards are available with shortcuts printed on them and color-coded keys. These make it easier to remember commonly used shortcuts.

The keyboard shortcut display updates to show the results of combining the modifier key with the character keys. Notice there are many keys without shortcuts assigned when you use a modifier key. These are available for you to assign your own shortcuts.

You can set keyboard shortcuts with any combination of modifier keys. If you press a character key, or character and modifier key combination, that particular shortcut information is displayed. To change a keyboard shortcut do one of the following: 1. Having found an option you would like to assign to a key, drag it from the list onto the key you would like to use in the upper part of the dialog box. To remove a shortcut, click the key, and choose Clear at the bottom right.

For now, click Cancel. Close the project file and save any changes. Moving, backing up, and syncing user settings User preferences include a number of important options.

For example, you might prefer the interface to be brighter than the default. Premiere Pro includes the option to share your user preferences between multiple computers: When installing Premiere Pro, you will enter your Adobe ID to confirm your software license.

You can use the same ID to store your user preferences in Creative Cloud, allowing you to synchronize and update them from any installation of Premiere Pro. You can sync your preferences while on the Home screen by choosing Sync Settings. If a dialog box appears asking if you would like to save changes you have made, click Yes. Happy customer.

Why is Premiere Pro considered a nonlinear editor? Describe the basic video-editing workflow. What is the Media Browser used for? Can you save a customized workspace? What is the purpose of the Source Monitor and the Program Monitor? How can you drag a panel to its own floating panel? Premiere Pro lets you place video clips, audio clips, and graphics anywhere in a sequence; rearrange items already in a sequence; add transitions; apply effects; and do any number of other video-editing steps in any order that suits you.

Transfer media to your computer; create a sequence by combining video, audio, and still-image clips in the Timeline panel; add effects and transitions; add text and graphics; mix your audio; and export the finished product as a video file. The Media Browser allows you to browse and import media files without having to open an external file browser.

You can view and select part of your original footage in the Source Monitor and use the Program Monitor to view the contents of the current sequence displayed in the Timeline panel. Choose video rendering and playback settings. Choose video and audio display settings. Create scratch disks. Use sequence presets. Customize sequence settings. You will not need any of the downloadable lesson files. Luckily, Adobe Premiere Pro gives you easy shortcuts. To help you plan and manage your projects, this lesson contains information about formats and video technology.

You may decide to revisit this lesson later, as your familiarity with Premiere Pro and nonlinear video editing develops. A Premiere Pro project file stores links to all the video, graphic, and sound files you have imported. Each item is displayed in the Project panel as a clip. The name clip originally described a section of celluloid film lengths of film were literally clipped to separate them from a roll , but these days the term refers to any item in the project, regardless of the type of media.

You could have an audio clip or an image sequence clip, for example. Clips displayed in the Project panel appear to be media files, but they are actually only links to those files.

You can delete one without affecting the other more on this later. When working on a project, you will create at least one sequence—that is, a series of clips that play, one after another, sometimes overlapping, with special effects, titles, and sound, to form your completed creative work.

The beauty of nonlinear editing with Premiere Pro is that you can change your mind about almost anything, at any time. Premiere Pro project files have the file extension. Starting a new project is straightforward. You create a new project file, import media, choose a sequence preset, and start editing.

To speed things up, you can use a sequence preset to choose the settings and then make adjustments if necessary.

You need to know the kind of video and audio your camera records because your sequence settings will usually be based on your source footage to minimize conversion during playback. In fact, most Premiere Pro sequence presets are named after cameras to make it easier to choose the correct option.

Launch Premiere Pro. You should see Lesson Notice that you can thin out the list of recent project files by typing some text into the Filter text box, where it says Filter Recent Files—only project files whose filenames contain the text will be displayed.

There are a couple of other items in this window: 1. Magnifying glass button: Click the magnifying glass at the top right of the Home screen to open a multipurpose Search screen. You must be connected to the Internet to access the tutorials. User button: Next to the magnifying glass is a thumbnail of your Adobe ID profile picture. If you have just signed up, this may be a generic thumbnail.

Click the button to manage your Creative Cloud account online. Click New Project to open the New Project dialog box. Below the new project name and file location fields, this dialog box has three tabs: General, Scratch Disks, and Ingest Settings. Click in the Name box, and name your new project First Project.

Note When choosing a location for your project file, you may want to choose a recently used location from the Location menu. Click Browse, and browse to the Lessons folder. Click Choose to establish this new folder as the location for the new project. Click OK to create your new project. Just like media files, sequences have settings that specify such things as the frame rate and image size. This is called conforming. Each sequence in your project can have different settings. Matching the settings reduces the work your system must do to play your clips, improving real-time performance, and maximizes quality.

If the first clip you add to a sequence does not match the settings of your sequence, Premiere Pro checks if you would like to change the sequence settings automatically to fit. Premiere Pro can work natively with a wide range of video and audio formats and codecs and will often play mismatched formats smoothly.

However, when Premiere Pro has to adjust video for playback because of mismatched sequence settings, your editing system must work harder to play the video, and this will impact real-time performance you might see more dropped frames. Note The Preset Description area of the Sequence Presets tab often describes the kind of camera used to capture media in this format. The essential factors are always the same: the number of frames per second, the frame size the number of pixels in the picture horizontally and vertically , and the audio format.

If you were to turn your sequence into a media file without applying a conversion, then the frame rate, audio format, frame size, and so on, would all match the settings you chose when creating the sequence. Premiere Pro can create a sequence based on your clip. Use this menu to create new items for your project, including sequences, captions, and color mattes full-screen color graphics useful for backgrounds.

To automatically create a sequence that matches your media, drag any clip or multiple clips in the Project panel onto the New Item menu. A new sequence will be created with the same name as the first clip selected, and a matching frame size and frame rate. You can also select one or more clips, right-click the selection, and choose New Sequence From Clip. Using this method, you can be confident your sequence settings will work with your media.

If the Timeline panel is empty, you can also drag a clip or multiple clips into it to create a sequence with matching settings. Choosing the correct preset If you do know the settings you need for a new sequence, you can configure the sequence settings exactly.

Click the New Item button at the lower-right corner of the Project panel now and choosef When you choose a preset, Premiere Pro applies settings for the new sequence that closely match a particular video and audio format. After choosing a preset, you can adjust these settings on the Settings tab if necessary. These settings are organized based on camera formats with specific settings inside a folder named after the recording format.

You can click the disclosure triangle to see specific formats in a group. These are typically designed around frame rates and frame sizes. Click the disclosure triangle next to the group Digital SLR. You can now see three subfolders, based on frame sizes. Remember that video cameras can often shoot video using different frame sizes, as well as different frame rates and codecs.

Click the disclosure triangle next to the p subgroup. Choose the DSLR p30 preset by clicking its name. For this sequence, use the default settings.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the description displayed on the right. Click in the Sequence Name box, and name your sequence First Sequence. Click OK to create the sequence. You have made a new project and sequence with Premiere Pro. Formats and codecs A format is a frame rate, frame size, audio sample rate, and so on.

Codec is a shortening of the words coder and decoder. The media file is referred to as the wrapper, and the video and audio inside the file, stored using a codec, are sometimes referred to as the essence. Tip You created a new sequence using the File menu this time.

There are often several ways to achieve the same goal in Premiere Pro. Choose the DSLR p30 preset again by clicking its name. This lets you view the settings while reading about them. Click Settings at the top of the dialog box. Premiere Pro will automatically conform footage you add to your timeline so that it matches your sequence settings, giving you a standard frame rate and frame size, regardless of the original clip format.

This makes the sequences settings a critical part of your project configuration. Creating a sequence preset Although the standard presets usually work, you may sometimes need to create a custom preset. To do so, first choose a sequence preset that matches your media closely, and then make custom selections in the Settings and Tracks areas of the New Sequence dialog box. Having adjusted the settings, you can save your custom preset for future use by clicking the Save Preset button near the bottom of the Settings area.

When you save a preset, you can give your customized project settings preset a name in the Save Settings dialog box, add notes if you want, and click OK. The preset will appear in a Custom folder with the other sequence presets. The new sequence is intended for online distribution only, so change this to 30 fps to accurately measure playback speed. Tip For now, leave the settings as they are, but review the way the preset configures the new sequence.

Look at each setting from top to bottom to build familiarity with the choices required to configure a sequence. For complete flexibility, choose Custom from the Editing Mode menu. For many effects, this means bit floating-point color, which allows for trillions of color combinations.

This is the best possible quality for your effects but is more work for your computer, so you may get lower performance in real-time playback. Without this option, you might see minor artifacts or noise in the picture when making images smaller. Both of these options can be turned off or on at any time, so you can edit without them to maximize performance and then turn them on when you output your finished work.

Even with both options enabled you can use real-time effects and expect good performance from Premiere Pro. Tracks are horizontal areas in the Timeline panel that hold clips in a particular position in time. There is more than one video track, and video clips placed on an upper track will appear in front of clips on a lower track. The Tracks tab in the New Sequence dialog box allows you to preselect the track types for the new sequence. This is perhaps most useful when creating a sequence preset with names already assigned to audio tracks.

All audio tracks are played at the same time to create a complete audio mix. To create a mix, simply position your audio clips on different tracks, lined up in time. Narration, sound bites, sound effects, and music can be organized by putting them on different tracks.

You can also rename tracks, making it easier to find your way around more complex sequences. Premiere Pro lets you specify how many video and audio tracks will be included when the sequence is created.

For now, choose Stereo. An audio track can be one of several types. Each track type is designed for specific types of audio clip. When you choose a particular track type, Premiere Pro shows the right controls to make adjustments to the sound, based on the number of audio channels in the track. For example, stereo clips need different controls than 5.

The types of audio tracks are: Standard: These tracks are for both mono and stereo audio clips. Adaptive: Adaptive tracks are for mono, stereo, or multichannel audio and give you precise control over the output routing for each audio channel.

For example, you could decide the track audio channel 3 should be output to your mix in channel 5. This workflow is used for multilingual broadcast TV, where precise control of audio channels is used at the point of transmission.

Mono: This track type will accept only mono audio clips. The Submix options available in the Track Type menu are used in advanced audio mixing workflows. Premiere Pro makes sure clips go to the right kind of track.

You will usually configure the project settings when creating the new project, but all of the options can be modified at any time. Some special effects can be played immediately, combining your original video with the effect and displaying the results as soon as you click Play. Real-time playback is desirable because it means you can watch the results of your creative choices right away, staying in your creative flow without waiting.

If you use lots of effects on a clip or if you use effects that are not designed for real-time playback, your computer may not be able to display the results at the full frame rate. That is, Premiere Pro will attempt to display your video clips, combined with the special effects, but it will not show every single frame each second. Premiere Pro displays colored lines along the top of the Timeline panel, where you build sequences, to tell you when extra work is required to play back your video.

No line, a green line, or a yellow line means Premiere Pro expects to be able to play without dropping frames. A red line means Premiere Pro may drop frames when playing that section of the sequence. Real-time playback can make a difference to your editing experience and your ability to preview the effects you apply with confidence.
