RobbieChilderhousetvblog: editing techniques

This post describes some of the editing techniqes i have used in premiere pro.

This technique is called live editing, this allows you to switch between different shots while the project plays. This method is a lot quicker than manually lining up the clips with the audio and cutting them. It's also very easy to use and set up.

This is the colour panel in adobe premiere, this allows you to colour correct different shot in the project. There's a lot that can be changed, it could look quite daunting to a new user but it's all very simple to use, after a few minutes of figuring it out it became very clear where everything is and how to use it all. Colour correction is useful to make shots of a project more appealing, for example, make some of the colours pop more

This is the start of creating a multi-cam sequence, you have to select allt he clips you want but they have to have audio because the multi-cam sequence syncs all the audio from the cilps together, the main audio for the track also needs to be selected it sync it all together.

This is the next step to creating a multi-cam sequence, after selecting 'create new multi-cam sequence' this screen will pop up. From this screen you can change multiple things with the sequence, But generally you don't need to change anything

When the sequence is created this will be on the timeline. This is useful of you want to put a few extra clips in there to make it easier to edit in the future.

This is a different part of the colour panel, in this bit of the panel you can select certain parts of the shot, as you can see in this example, the part of the background that used to be orange is now pink. This could be very useful to manipulate differnet colours in different shots.

This is the ripple tool in Adobe premiere. The ripple tool is when a shot is changed in length the other clips will move accordingly. This is very useful because the user won't have to move all the other clips manually.

The Roll edit toll is very similar to the ripple edit tool, so much so that some beginners wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two. The difference is with the roll tool when then the length of a clip is change instead of everything chnging around it the clip next to it will extend to fit the timeline. This

tool is also very useful to get very precise things fit.

This is the drag tool, it allows you to quickly look across the timeline, although you can't interact with anything else while in this mode, which can be a good thing if you don't want to accidentally chagne anything on the timeline.

These are video markers that you can easily line up video clips to, this is very good for editing music videos because it makes it easy to edit to the beat. This could be useful for other types of editing although would be most affective with a syncing video to audio.

This is the fade tool, it can be used on the timeline, it's very easy to use and there's lots of creative potential, just creating a simple fade in and fade out could hugely change the feel and the implication of the shot.
