Premiere Tutorial part 1

[Totalbodygym]

This is just a basic rundown of the fundamentals of adobe premiere. im using pro 1.5, but hopefully the settings are the same if not similar in other versions.

This tutorial is made for people who have captured in 640x480 resolution or 720x480. any smaller res and you will need to adjust your project settings accordingly.

Open premiere, and start a new project.
Project settings:
General:
editing mode: DV Playback
timebase: 29.97 fps
frame size: 720x480

once that is done go to file>import. find the desired clip, and hit okay.
drag and drop from the project window onto the timeline.

the workspace
Project window (in the upper left)
Project tab, this is your library. it contains all imported files as well as any aditional titles or sequences you created in premiere.
Effects tab, this is where you can find various effects to add to your work.

Monitor window (top middle and right)
clip tab you can drag clips directly here to view them.
Effect controls tab
-motion-
-position- you can move the current clip on the project window and animate that movement
-scale- essentially the size of the clip, you can shrink clips and put 2 together, animate the size of clips, etc
-rotation- same with position and scale, you can adjust the rotation of the various clips.
-anchor point- the point in which your clip will rotate about. center is default, but you can move it to the corners to get various effects.
-opacity- you can lower opacity in order to make one clip see through. you can make custom fades this way.
-volume- you can adjust the volume of a clip.

you can close out the info and history windows, for they arent necessary right now.

Timeline- in the bottom left, you can drag the triangle to scale the viewable timeline. towards the left it gets smaller, so you can see more clips, to the right you can zoom in on various clips.

Toolbar-
Selection tool- your everyday arrow, you can select and move various clips. by selecting an outer edge of a clip, you can drag inwards to trim the selected clip.
Track Selection tool - you can select one clip and it selects all the clips to the right of it. usefull when moving clips ahead in the timeline.
ripple effect tool - used where two clips come together, you can shorten or lengthen clips without having to move the clips afterwards.
rolling edit tool- similar to ripple effect tool, you can trip 2 clips at the same time. if you have 2 clips, and the entire sequence is exactly 2 minutes. you use the rolling edit tool so that the entire sequence timing is not effected.
Rate Stretch tool- one of the most powerful and commonly used tools. select the edge of a clip and drag inwards to speed up the clip, drag outwards to slow it down.
razor tool- splits a clip wherever you click. once split, you can use the selection tool to trim either side and treat each half as a seperate clip.
slip tool- if a clip is trimmed you can adjust its in and out points without adjusting the overall lenghth of the clip
slide tool- allows you to slide one clip over another.
pen tool- allows you to select by keyframe
hand tool- lets the user slide along the timeline without affecting the clips inside.
zoom tool - self explainitory, you can zoom in on a certain point in a clip.


Part two will go further in depth with the use of the various tools and how to implement them into a montage.
