Transcripts
I think we can all agree that at this
point as we are entering the crater
economy more and more the skill set of
video editing is insanely valuable this
is actually the thing that got me first
started making some money online a few
years back and I was actually able to
turn this skill set into a multi-six
figure online business later on so if
you want to learn how to use Adobe
Premiere Pro in 2023 as a complete
beginner then this video is for you I
know how overwhelming it can be to start
learning a new editing software so I
hope this video is going to help my name
is Vince and let's get right into it so
when you first open up Premiere Pro the
first thing you want to do is you want
to create a new project so to do that
click here create new project and you
want to name your project so I'm going
to name this Slovakia trip because I
want to edit a video from our Slovakian
trip a few weeks ago next up you want to
select the project location I'm going to
leave it as the default that Premiere
Pro gives me after this I'm going to
click here on Create and create my new
project so after that this is kind of
what you are going to be greeted with
when you open up Premiere Pro and the
next thing you want to do is you want to
start importing your videos and audios
to your project staying organized in
your editing process is crucial because
it's a habit that is really hard to get
into once you didn't you know learn it
at the beginning so I like to create
some folders in the beginning here in my
project Library so I'm going to first
create one for b-roll I'm going to
create one for my drone shots I'm going
to create one for VFX
oops and I'm going to create one for
audio
now next up the way I'm going to import
the clips is this you just want to open
up the folder that has all your files
and audios and after that you just want
to go ahead select them right I'm first
going to select the stuff that is from
my main camera that is the b-roll and
I'm just going to drag and drop it into
that folder after that I'm going to
select my drone Clips I'm going to drag
and drop that into this folder after
that I'm going to select my overlays
that I want to use I'm going to drag and
drop that into the VFX folder after that
I'm going to drag and drop my audios and
uh go and put it into the audio folder
so now you can see I have these four
folders with all the clips and audios
that I want to use in my video next up
we want to create a new sequence the
sequence is going to be what you can
actually edit inside of and inside of
one project you can even have multiple
sequences if you want to so to do that
I'm going to right click here click on
new item click on create new sequence
right and here you can see I have all
these presets I can already choose from
or I can also come here to settings and
set my exact settings that I want to use
so in this case I want to actually use
25 frames per second I want to use 1920
by 1080 which is full HD resolution and
I'm going to leave the rest of these
settings on how they are you can also
name your sequence right here if you
want to
then as you can see now this timeline
popped up here as well now don't worry
if Premiere Pro doesn't look exactly
like this for you because I'm going to
show you right now how you can get it to
look exactly like what I'm showing you
in this video premiere pro has these
things called workspaces which are
basically different kind of software
layout presets for different kind of
tasks that you are going to be doing
inside of Premiere Pro so if you want to
access your workspaces come here to the
top right corner
click on workspaces and you can see they
have separate kind of layouts for
editing for coloring for adding effects
to your video for editing audio for
adding like graphics and captions to
your video so these are all very
beneficial because you know if I'm for
example wanting to just edit my sequence
now I can click on the editing uh you
know workspace and then it's going to be
already optimized for that exact kind of
task so I'm going to stay inside of the
editing workspace for now and next up we
want to start importing some videos to
our timeline and some audios to our
timeline so in terms of importing to
your timeline there are basically two
routes you can go the first one is super
easy you just basically come here and
select the clip that you want to put on
your timeline and then you go ahead and
drag and drop it on your video track
right so I just drag and dropped it into
video track one and you can see now if I
press play it it is here in my sequence
now the other way to do it is by double
clicking here on the certain clip you
want to import like that and then here
in your Source monitor you are going to
be able to kind of like skim through it
before you would even import it right
and if I only want to import a certain
part of this video or audio onto my
timeline I can come to the part where I
want the clip to begin for example here
press I on my keyboard and then I'm
going to scroll to where I want it to
end for example here I'm going to press
o on my keyboard I can click here and
drag and drop it onto my timeline and
now instead of importing the whole you
know long clip to my timeline I just
imported that exact part that I want to
have in there now next up let's kind of
go over some of the main parts of
Premiere Pro so you get a little bit
more familiar with the software
interface first up you have your
sequence right here this is going to be
where you are doing the majority of your
editing and you can zoom in and out on
this sequence by either dragging this
little thing here or even using your
touchpad or even pressing command or
control if you are on Windows and the
plus and minus keys on your keyboard
this is where you are able to you know
drag Clips you know edit them add
different text and so on so do the
majority of your editing work next up
right next to it you have some of the
most essential tools that you are going
to be able to use again for editing then
here on the left you will have you know
your project Library your effects info
different libraries and so on obviously
this can all depend in terms of where
they are based on the exact workspace
you are in which like I said you can
access by coming here to the top and
then selecting the certain workspace the
next super important part is your
playback area which is this so if I
press spacebar on my keyboard board I
can start the playback and if I stop you
know the playback I can just press
spacebar again you can also scroll
scroll through that here you can select
what playback resolution you want to
have and so on and the next part which
you're going to be using a lot is effect
controls right here which is where
you're going to be able to set some of
the most important parameters of your
clips and also adjust your effects that
you add on to it later on and so on all
right now let's do a little bit of an
overview of some of the most essential
tools that you are going to use so
number one is the select tool which you
can access by coming here or pressing a
on your keyboard in this case you can
also set custom
shortcuts if you want for every single
thing by coming up here to the top
clicking on keyboard shortcuts and
setting it up for yourself right here
alright so with this you can move things
around you can go and click on it change
different settings so this is kind of of
like your regular mouse cursor on your
computer next up this is also a super
often used tool if I make this video
track one a bit a bit bigger by dragging
it out if I press in this case C on my
keyboard or uh I go come here to the
Razer tool this is also something you
are going to use a lot so with this you
can basically make cuts to your videos
so if I click here you can see it cut it
into two separate parts right so for
example if I want to cut out this middle
part here I can just come back to my
selection tool click on that delete it
if I want to get rid of this dark space
that it left here this blank space I can
select that and click delete again and
you can see I was able to cut out that
middle part from my clip just like that
if you want to you uh you know get rid
of this part for example and not have to
you know manually come here and then
delete this blank space but instead just
delete this clip that is between these
two other Clips with just one click then
you can select that press shift and
delete and then you are doing what is
called a ripple delete which basically
gets rid of the space in between at the
same time all right next up I want to
show you how to speed up or slow down
your different clips so to do that you
want to select a certain clip you want
to change the you know speed settings
off then right click on it and then you
want to come here all the way down to
speed slash duration and you are going
to be able to set your speed percentage
here so for example if I want to slow
down this clip right I can put 50 here
if you want to you can also reverse your
clip here by the way but uh yeah let's
say I just want 50 now I'm gonna press
OK and then you can see it's now in nice
slow motion and the same thing goes for
speeding up your clip you just come here
to speed slash duration and make it
let's say 300 and you can see now it's
you know super fast all right next up I
want to show you how to add some effects
and transitions to your different clips
on your timeline so to do that you want
to come here to the effects tab or if
you go to the uh you know effects
workspace that works as well I'm gonna
do that to show you an example and then
you can see here now I have the effects
panel and if I want to create a
transition between these two separate
clips for example then I can just go
ahead come here to effects and come here
to video Transitions and you can see
Premiere Pro already comes with a ton of
different transitions pre-installed for
you so I'm going to use the dissolve one
for example and now I can add the cross
dissolve one if I want to by dragging
and dropping it between these two clips
and now if I play it back you can see
it's smoothly kind of transitions from
one clip to another if you want to
change the length of your transition you
can zoom in and select the transition
and drag it just like this to make it
shorter or longer or you can also select
it come here to the effect controls and
set the duration of it here and same
goes for all other kind of transitions
as well now if you don't want to add the
transition but you want to add an effect
you know you are also in the right space
just come here to video effects and you
know select the effect you want for
example I want to add a blur to this so
I'm going to add this directional blur
let's say onto this clip and then here
you can see nothing really changed yet
and that is because you need to come
here select the clip come here to the
effect controls and you can see I have
my directional blur right here and if I
change up some of the settings of that
here I can probably make it blurry just
like that you can see that is it if I
want to delete this you know effect from
my clip I can always just come here to
effect controls select it and then press
delete on my keyboard and the same goes
for also audio effects which you can
also find here and audio transitions as
well all right now next up I want to
show you how to add some cool text to
your video so to do that I'm going to
come here to workspaces captions and
graphics and I'm actually also going to
add a drone shot onto my timeline and
maybe add like a nice little text to
that so I am here and now I have my
Essential Graphics where tab here now to
add a text I just usually like to come
here and click on the type tool click
somewhere on my screen and I can
um you know type in whatever I want for
example I'm going to type in Mountain
Villa because that is what this clip has
and then I can you know select this I
can
come here to my Essential Graphics I can
change the alignment of it so I can for
example automatically click on Alliance
Central centrally horizontally and also
align Center vertically and now it's
right in the middle of my clip I can
also come here to the text font and
change it to something else for example
Monster Rod you know I will need to
align it again but that's all right you
can also change the the size of your
font you can also change how you know
bold you want the font to be you can
also change the tracking of the
different letters so so many different
things you can change I'm also going to
add a nice little Shadow to it right
here
you know simple as that you can change
the settings of the Shadow as well you
know adding text is super basic super
simple you can change the again the
positioning of it here as well so I'm
just going to align it to the center and
if you want to change the duration of
your text you can always just select
this new layer that it created which is
your text layer and you know make it
longer by dragging it out or make it
shorter by trying to get shorter now
next up I'm going to show you how to add
audio to your video as well and how to
add songs and so on so you know I have
my uh audio right here in this folder
this song so I'm going to drag and drop
that on my timeline and uh that is how
simple it is if I wanted to add you know
a sound effect I can just drag and drop
that here and change the positioning of
it or add it to a different track just
like that so super simple to do if you
want to change the volume of your song
you can do that by either making your
audio track bigger by dragging it out
like this and pressing on this white
line and lowering it so you can see now
it's at minus 20 decibels so that is one
way to quickly change the volume of your
audio or you can also select it come
here to effect controls and change the
volume level right here talking about
audio and sound effects that actually
brings us to the sponsor of this video
epidemic sound if you're looking for an
amazing solution to get all your music
and sound effects from for your own
YouTube videos or even client projects
epidemic sound might be the best
solution for you I have been using their
service for over five years at this
point and I've used their you know songs
and sound effects in countless YouTube
videos from my personal brand and also
for client projects I love the fact that
instead of having to license your songs
individually potentially even costing
you thousands of dollars in license fees

subscription fee for them and you will
get access to over 30 000 incredible
songs and over 80 000 amazing sound
effects at your fingertips their music

genres and playlists so you can always
find the exact song that fits your
videos why perfectly and one of my
favorite features about their software
is their stem downloads where you can
actually get the separate layers of your
song that you are trying to add to your
video so you can even get more creative
control in your editing process now if
you sign up with the link in the
description below this video then you

in that trial period so there's really
no risk on your side to check out their
service and try it out for yourself
thank you epidemic for sponsoring this
video and let's get right back into the
tutorial alright so next up I want to
color my footage a little bit to make it
pop even more so the way I'm going to do
that is I'm going to come here first to
my project library right click click on
new item create a new adjustment layer
I'm going to make sure that it's the
same settings as my sequence I'm going
to click ok
and I'm going to drag and drop that and
make it you know cover all the footage
that I want it to affect now I can click
on this adjustment layer I'm going to
switch my workspace and come to the
coloring workspace and here in lumetri
color I can change the look of that
however I want and basically by
adjusting this adjustment layers color
it's going to affect everything that is
under it so you don't have to adjust
your Clips separately one by one now
unfortunately in this video I don't have
enough time to go into a super in depth
about you know coloring your stuff
because you you have so many different
options like you can see here but I'm
going to show you the easiest way to
color your footage fast and that is none
other than using Lots or otherwise
called look up tables and lots are
basically kind of like Instagram filters
for your videos if you want to apply a
lot to your footage you can come here to
the creative and then select your lot
that you want to use you can see
Premiere over already comes actually
installed with a couple different ones
so for example this one you can see it's
pretty intense and they have a bunch of
different looks this one's pretty cool
actually you can change the intensity of
it so just by you know pressing this one
thing I was able to add this cool color
grade to my footage now if I want to see
the before and after I can always just
enable and disable my layer by pressing
V on my keyboard and or also you can
right click on it and click on enable or
disable
right here and you can see the before
and after I quite like this look so I'm
going to move forward with that so now
I'm going to use all these different
skill sets that I just talked about and
I just showed you and I'm going to
create an example edit for you combining
these separate things that I talked
about
all right so what do you guys think did
you like it I hope you did I just you
know put this together in a few minutes
so haven't put a ton of effort into it
but uh I think it still turned out okay
anyways now the next thing we are going
to do is export this footage right so to
do that what you want to do is you want
to make sure that your entire sequence
is selected so you want to press I on
the beginning of your timeline right
here and then you want to come to where
you want your video to end and you want
to press o on your keyboard so this way
you can set the in and out points if you
messed up something you can always just
right click here press on clear in and

whole process basically This way
