A2 Media Studies. Editing With Premiere Pro: Learning to Edit

In tidays lesson we were learning how to edit using Adobe Premier Pro with some short clips filmed by the year below for their preliminary task, below is the process.

On opening APP we were told not to change any of the original settings and once it had opened we had to change it, To make this process easier, we were asked to change our workspace to "Editing (CS5.5)". This provided us with a better layout which would make everything easier to edit

 Next, we had to import the short clips that we would be using by going to 'File'...'Import'.. and selecting the folder containing the clips





once all the clips were in APP we could watch them on a small scale individually and select which ones we would use, If you double click on the clip, it will appear in the larger left viewing window, in this you can mark in/out the section from the clip that you wish to use.
Once you have your clip selected, you will be able to drag either the video or the audio only, or even both if you wished, this is good because it allows you to add audio over the top after without it interfering with sound already in the clip
Here's a picture of me in the editing process!

You are able to add titles by selecting 'Title' at the top of the window which then takes you to another window, allowing you to enter text and change fonts and colours. If you wish to add effects you can go into a tab on the left which will give you a drop down menu of various effects you can use, on my video I gave the music (which I chose to be the Godfather theme tune) a fade in and out (I used 'constant power') so that it did not interfere with the dialogue in the clip, below is my final video, with music added, In the next post I will include the video, but with simple titles which I created.
