Editing in Adobe Premiere

Film & Video Production
DIGM 1133, Section 01


Editing in Adobe Premiere CS6
Creating a Project
1. Open Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
2. Choose “New Project.”
3. Name your New Project with the name of the current assignment you are editing.
4. When the New Sequence window appears, click cancel.
5. Under the “File” menu, choose “Import.”
6. Navigate to where your files are located on your computer, select all of your files (hold down shift) and press “Open.” Your files will appear in your bin, in the bottom left corner of your browser.
7. Right click one of the .MTS clips in your bin and select “New Sequence From Clip.”
8. Using the selector tool (arrow), select the clip in the sequence and press “delete.”

Your Premiere Pro Browser
Besides your bin, you will see three main areas on your default screen: your Source window, your Program window, and your Sequence window.
Your source window is where your clips will appear as you decide how much of them to use in your edit.
Your program window will allow you to see your edit as it is currently assembled.
Your sequence window contains your timeline where you actually edit your footage.
Become familiar with these basic functions (they will be displayed if you hover over the button). They are located directly beneath your source window.
Also become familiar with your selection tool and your razor blade tool. Your toolbox is located to the right of your bin.
Mark In, Mark Out, Go to In, Step Back, Play/Stop, Step Forward, Go to Out.


Three Point Editing
1. On the first clip of your sequence, set and “In” and “Out” point, according to how much of the clip you will use.
2. After making sure that your Program window is at the designated place (your third “In” point), drag the clip over to your Program window. You will see a message that states “Drop to overwrite; use control to insert.” Drop your clip and it will appear on your timeline.
This process is called Three-point editing because you always designate three points, usually (but not always) an “In” and “Out” point in your Source window and an “In” point on your Program window. We will later discuss exceptions to using these three points.
3. Continue the three-point editing process according to your storyboard until your edit is complete.

Exporting your Project (Making a Complete File)
1. Under the file menu, choose export>media.
2. Click “output name” and name the file “Simple Sequence Video.”
3. Save to the desktop.
4. Click “Save.”

5. On the export settings menu, click export.
