00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,760
Hi and welcome back 

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,160
to our video
 series on digital content production

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,040
and in particular, how we edit videos
 using Adobe Premiere Pro.

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:22,560
The first video we looked at
 how we create a new project

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,600
and how we navigate our workspace

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,120
and maybe customize it to suit our needs.

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,640
In this video, we're going to look at

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,720
how we import our footage

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,320
in a little bit more detail
 and how we work within our project panel

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:46,000
to organize and keep our footage
 well structured.

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,840
We're then going to create a sequence
 on our timeline

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,200
and have a look at how we can work
 with those clips

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,600
to change the length and

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,320
trim and cut our footage.

15
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,560
So here we are
 in another Premiere project,

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,000
and what's good about
 Premiere is at the top of the window

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,200
it's always going to tell you
 exactly where

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,320
your project file is saved.

19
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,080
And if we look up here, we 

20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,240
can see that this is on my
 Z Drive in the CCF folder, Adobe Premiere

21
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,600
and the project file is working with clips
 dot PRPROJ

22
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,160
so you can see
 that's the Premiere project file.

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,200
The little asterisks here. 

24
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,440
I think what this is telling us
 is that this hasn't been saved.

25
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,880
There's been very slight change to it.

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,440
And if we tried to close it, it's
 going to prompt us to save it.

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,560
Now, talking about saving 

28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,480
it has an auto save feature 

29
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,480
built in, and unfortunately, video
 editing applications

30
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,520
are notorious for crashing
 and freezing at inappropriate times,

31
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,960
and so it will save your file

32
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,320
at regular intervals. 

33
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,560
So I'm going to get to edit preferences. 

34
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,560
And Autosave, 

35
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,960
and we can change the duration,
 I think, as default is set at 15 minutes.

36
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,520
I bring that down to five minutes
 just to speed

37
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,760
up the regularity

38
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,640
of the autosave. 

39
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:42,440
If we go back to our Folder
 so because we have set auto save up,

40
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,800
we can now say that within our Adobe
 Premiere

41
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,480
folder,
 we have the Adobe Premiere Pro autosave.

42
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,560
And this is where
 all your autosave files are,

43
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,280
so if you have your machine crashes
 and you've lost a little bit of work.

44
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,440
first port of
 call would be to go into this autosave

45
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,880
folder
 and just look for the most recent version.

46
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,240
And hopefully
 then you've lost too much work. 

47
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,760
Then we go back to Premiere. 

48
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,280
And remember how we import

49
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,600
clips, we use the media browser. 

50
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,160
We navigate to where we want to go to.

51
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,000
And we can then 

52
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,520
see I've added a couple more folders
 within this now this is a little piece

53
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,960
to camera that i shot
 for the series on another subject.

54
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,200
And I thought it was a great example
 of just showing you how

55
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,600
I work
 with multiple clips at the same time.

56
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,160
Now, what I'm going to do

57
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,440
is, I've just been a little bit sloppy,

58
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,800
I'm just going to drag, 

59
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:54,880
ignore the pop 

60
00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:01,760
up, them into that footage folder
 just to keep things a little bit organized

61
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,160
now this is really important,
 especially when you start to work on

62
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,240
multiple projects with lots and lots

63
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,040
different video
 clips, multiple cameras with multiple

64
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,640
audio sources that we do
 be quite organized within our project.

65
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920
So it's always best to maybe

66
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,000
create a folder now. 

67
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,560
Here I have CU, so close up and a wide,
 so I have the 2 shots close up

68
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,760
and the wide from that interview,
 or piece to camera,

69
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,120
and I'm going to go into footage
 and I'm going to click one,

70
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,880
hold down control and click the second one
 and I'm going to right click and I'm

71
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,080
going to select import.

72
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,440
Now, when we go back to our project panel, 

73
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,040
you see that folder structure
 has been applied to our project.

74
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,560
Now within the project panel
 these are known as bins.

75
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,440
This is a term that's kind of transferred
 over from the old days of cutting film.

76
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,720
Well, a bin is basically a folder. 

77
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,920
So if you hear the term project bin,
 that basically means a folder

78
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,800
within your project file. 

79
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,600
So we have two folders,
 we have our wide shot.

80
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,800
And if we just expand it here, we can see

81
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,080
we have three clips in there
 and we have our close ups.

82
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,240
And again, we have three clips in there.

83
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,200
Now I'm going to expand 

84
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,480
both these so we can quite easily see 

85
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,480
and again, I'm using the list view 

86
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,040
so that I can see
 all the information regarding these clips

87
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,280
and I can
 scroll through and I can see more as well.

88
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,240
So we can see, for example,
 that this is a 1080 clip

89
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,120
and has been shot at 25 frames per second.

90
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,840
The media duration is here,
 so it's ten minutes

91
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,240
33 seconds. 

92
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,600
And what I'm going to do is,

93
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,960
again, I was prompted by your timeline.

94
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,760
I'm going to select the first one
 from my wide master shot

95
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,440
and I'm going to click
 and I'm going to drag it onto my timeline.

96
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:14,560
So remember, 

97
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,680
we can navigate

98
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,640
through our clips.

99
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,520
Now, Remember,

100
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,560
we said that
 the top of this bar is our video file.

101
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,560
Below is our audio files
 that you can see on this clip.

102
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,440
This is using our Sony FS5 camera
 that has multiple audio options.

103
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,720
We have 

104
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,200
so by default, it brings in
 4 audio tracks, but if you look closely,

105
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,160
you can say the only one that has

106
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,160
any kind of visual waveform is that track.

107
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,200
Now at the minute, 

108
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,160
we can't easily get rid of these tracks
 because it's all linked together.

109
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,080
Now what we can do is right
 click on your video file

110
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,000
and select Unlink. 

111
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,880
Now you can see what's happened
 is separated all these tracks up

112
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,920
and we can simply select
 the ones we don't want and delete.

113
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,840
And I'm going to move that
 just up to there, just to make things

114
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,840
a little bit easier,
 a little more organized and

115
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,960
click and drag
 to select both tracks again, 

116
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,880
and I'm going to go back in and link them.

117
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,120
The majority 

118
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,360
of time you need to do that
 process is just the type of video clip

119
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,840
that you use to show you this happens
 to have them follow the trucks.

120
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,800
Now, if we look in our project folder.

121
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,600
You can see that 

122
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,960
this new file has appeared.

123
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,720
Now this is what's called a sequence,
 you can see

124
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,800
the icon is different
 to your footage icon.

125
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,600
Now a sequence is
 what's within your timeline.

126
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,760
It's a sequence of clips
 that you work with. 

127
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,800
So when we first drag our first clip
 over to the timeline,

128
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,200
Premiere is going to create a sequence. 

129
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,840
Now to make life a little bit easier,
 we can click on that

130
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,840
and we can rename this. 

131
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,640
So I'm going to rename this my sequence,

132
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:28,320
and I'm also 

133
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,920
just going to drag it out of that folder
 and drop it at the top level.

134
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,680
As we 

135
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,880
work on 

136
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,360
more and more projects
 where you may find that

137
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,240
within one project,
 you may want multiple sequences.

138
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,360
For example, you want different cuts

139
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,720
of the same 

140
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,160
collection of video files. 

141
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,640
And but for the majority of the time,
 you're going to be working on one sequence

142
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,640
in one project. 

143
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,040
So there we have it, 

144
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,960
that's how we import footage
 into our project panel

145
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,400
and drag clips onto our timeline
 to create our first sequence.
