For more information, see Creating and changing projects.

Import video and audio

Import video footage and other media files.
To import files, you can:
 Use the Media Browser (Windows: Ctrl+Alt+I, macOS: Opt+Cmd+I).
 Use dynamic linking to bring in assets from After Effects, Photoshop, or Illustrator.
Assemble and refine a sequence
To view a clip in the Source Monitor, double-click the clip in the Project Panel. Using
the Source Monitor, you can view clips, set edit points, and mark frames before adding clips to
a sequence. Refine sequences by manipulating clips in the Timeline panel.
Add clips to a sequence in the Timeline panel by dragging them from the Project Panel, or
by using the Insert (the comma key) or Overwrite buttons (the full stop key).

Add titles
To get started with titles, you can select an existing motion graphic template from Premiere Pro.
You can also create a title directly in your video using the Type tool in the Program Monitor.
Use keyboard shortcuts (Windows: Ctrl+T, macOS: Cmd+T) to create a new text layer.
Type in a title, and then adjust its appearance. Save your title as a Motion Graphics template so it
can be reused and shared.
 For more information on using the Essential Graphics panel, see Create titles and motion
graphics.

Add transitions and

effects
Add transitions between clips to smoothly move from one clip to another. The Effects
Control panel includes an extensive list of transitions and effects you can apply.
Add an effect or transition to a clip in the Timeline panel by dragging it from the Effects panel.
Adjust the effect, duration, and alignment using the Effects Control panel.
For more information, see:
 Transition overview: applying transitions
 Apply effects to clips

Edit color
There are multiple color editing options in Premiere Pro. You can:
 Apply looks (color presets) and make adjustments.
 Refine looks using RGB Curves and the Hue Saturation Curve.
 Compare and match color across clips.
 Adjust shadows, midtones, and highlights using color wheels.
 Apply LUTs and make technical corrections to light, and more.
To get started, experiment with looks. Select a clip in the timeline, and select a look from the
Creative section of the Lumetri color panel. Adjust the Intensity and Adjustments sliders to fine-
tune the preset.
For more information, see Color workflows.

Mix audio
Premiere Pro offers a complete audio editing solution within the application. Some common
audio edits you can do are sync audio with video, or reduce background noise. You can also
choose to edit audio in Audition for advanced audio mixing.
 Change duration and speed

You can set a duration for video or audio clips,

letting them speed up or slow down to fill the
duration.
You can use the following options to change the
speed and duration of clips:
 Speed/Duration command (Windows: Ctrl + R,
macOS: Cmd + R)
 Rate Stretch tool (Windows: R, macOS: R)
 Time Remapping feature

Export
Export your edited sequences quickly and easily to the focussed content destinations. Use the
advanced export settings to customize your export. You can also export your completed videos
by using optimized render settings for popular social platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo,
Facebook, or Twitter.

Workspace:

The Home screen is where you begin in Premiere Pro. Use the options on the left to start a new
project or open an existing project. The right side of the Home screen provides access to in-
application tutorials, and other tutorials and documentation available online.
The content on the Home screen evolves over time as you use Premiere Pro. As you work on
more projects and get more experience, your recent projects are displayed on the Home screen
and the number of tutorials displayed are reduced.

project or open an existing one, Premiere Pro opens in Edit mode. When you’re ready to export
a video, open Export mode.

Workspaces
The Premiere Pro interface is made up of panels that are organized into a layout and saved as a
workspace. Premiere Pro comes with 15 default workspaces. Most of the workspaces are based
on specific post-production tasks (such as color, audio, or graphics), but here are tips for using
some of the general workspaces:
 Essentials - Everything you need is organized for easy access. Recommended for use especially
if you are working with a single monitor.
 Vertical - Ideal if you are working with vertical video. You can toggle between Source and
Program Monitor in the same panel.
 Learning - Ideal if you want to make use of the in-app tutorials and learn content while editing.
 Assembly - With a large Project panel, this workspace is great if you want to if you hover scrub,
set In and Out points, and quickly create rough cuts.
 Captions and Graphics - Ideal if you are working with captions or graphics
 Review - Use this workspace if you want to use Frame.io for reviews
 Production - Use this workspace if you are collaborating with a team on a Production.

Change Workspaces
Click on workspace names in the dropdown menu to access workspaces.
You can also open a Workspace from the Window menu or with keyboard shortcuts:
1. Open the project you want to work on, choose Window > Workspace, and select the desired
workspace.
2. Click Alt + Shift + 1 (up to 9) to open individual workspaces.
Import a workspace with a project
By default, Premiere Pro opens projects in whatever workspace you currently have open. However,
you can open a project in the workspace last used with it. This option is helpful if you often rearrange
the workspace for each project.
Before opening a project, select Window > Workspaces > Import Workspace From Projects.
Choose Edit workspaces

Add clips to sequences

Add a clip to a sequence:
You can add clips to a sequence in the following ways:
• Drag the clip from the Project panel or Source Monitor to a Timeline panel or the Program
Monitor.
• Use the Insert and Overwrite buttons in the Source Monitor to add clips to a Timeline panel. Or
use the keyboard shortcuts associated with those buttons.
• Automatically assemble a sequence from the Project panel.
• Drag the clip from the Project panel, Source panel, or Media Browser into the Program
monitor.
Creating a Storyboard:
During pre-production planning, film directors and animators frequently use storyboards—walls
of photos and sketches to visualize story flow and camera angles. Storyboards also help in post-
production. When you’re using Adobe Premiere Pro, you can arrange video clip thumbnails in
storyboard fashion in the Project panel to get a feel for how your finished video will work. After
creating your storyboard, you can place the entire ordered collection of clips or a subset in a
sequence in the Timeline panel.

Setting up a storyboard:
To set up a storyboard in Adobe Premiere Pro, you can create a new bin and use that to organize
your clips.
To set up a storyboard bin:
1. Start Adobe Premiere Pro and start a new project.
2. Select File > Import and import several video clips.
3. In the Project panel, click the New Bin button to create a new bin and name that bin
Storyboard.
4. In the Project panel, select all the video clips.
5. Select Edit > Copy to copy the entire collection of clips.
6. Click the Storyboard bin to select it and select Edit > Paste to place a copy of all the clips
in that bin. All the video files appear in the Storyboard bin. They remain in the main
Project panel as well.
 7. Double-click the folder icon for the Storyboard bin. The Storyboard bin appears in a
separate floating panel.
Note: If thumbnails of the clips do not appear, open the panel menu in the upper-right
corner and select Thumbnails.
8. If it’s not already selected, click the Icon View button to view thumbnails for each clip
(Figure 2).

The Panel is a little

small, so to temporarily enlarge it to full screen, press ~. Then start dragging the *Clip 1, *Clip 2
clips into an order that best tells the story. Just like a storyboard, with the first shot at the left and
the last shot at the right.

Arranging the storyboard

 1. To preview a clip in the Project panel or one of its bins, position the pointer to the left of
its thumbnail, and then move the pointer from left to right over the thumbnail. Moving
from right to left plays the video in reverse.
2. To delete an unwanted clip, select it and then press Delete. To delete more than one clip
at a time, hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you select the clips
3. Arrange the remaining clips in the Storyboard bin into the order that works for your
project. To arrange clips, drag the thumbnails into the correct order from left to right and
from top to bottom .
4. In the Storyboard bin, trim each clip as needed, keeping in mind that you can continue to
trim clips after adding them to the Timeline.
Create a timeline
You can create new blank timelines and add assets to them or create new timelines based on a
selected asset in the Project panel.
1. To create a new timeline, do one of the following:
 Choose Timeline > New Timeline or choose File > New > Timeline. A blank timeline is
created, ready for you to add assets.
 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the video, audio, or still image asset in the
Project panel, and choose New > Timeline. Encore opens the Timeline Viewer and creates a new
timeline with the asset already placed on the appropriate track.
 Click the Create A New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel and choose Timeline from
the pop-up menu.
To place a video and an audio file together in the same timeline, select both files in the Project
panel and click the New Timeline button. (Other types of assets, when selected together, will
create separate timelines for each type.)

Add videos or still images to timelines

When you add a video or still image asset to an existing timeline, Encore positions it as a new
clip at the end of the track adjacent to the last clip and automatically adds a chapter point at the
beginning of the new clip. You can reposition the clip and its chapter point as needed.
Note:
 When a single audio clip is used for multiple video clips, a hiccup in the audio occurs when the
movie moves from one video clip to another.
Add a video clip to a timeline
1. In the Project panel, do one of the following:
a. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the video, and choose New > Timeline.
Encore opens the Timeline Viewer and creates a new timeline with the video already placed on
the video track.
b. Choose Timeline > New Timeline and drag the video from the Project panel to the video track
of the new timeline. Encore positions a video clip at the beginning of the timeline, regardless of
where in the timeline you release the mouse.
c. Select the video and press Ctrl-T (Windows) or Command-T (Mac OS).
2. To add additional video clips to the timeline, drag the video from the Project panel to the video
track.
Add a still image to a timeline
You can add still images to a timeline that includes one or more movie clips, or you can add a
series of still images to a timeline to create a slide show effect. However, to create a slide show,
you may want to use the Slideshow Viewer. (See About slide shows.)
1. Select the still image in the Project panel, and choose Timeline > New Timeline.
2. Drag any additional still images from the Project panel to the video track.
3. If the Edit Still Duration dialog box appears, enter the number of seconds you want the still
image to be displayed. (To prevent this dialog box from appearing again, select Don’t Show
Again.) Click OK.
Encore creates a new timeline with the still image placed at the beginning of the video track.
Add a visual effect
1. Switch to the Effects workspace by choosing Window > Workspaces > Effects.
If you type in the Effects panel Search field, effects with matching names will appear.
2. Apply a visual effect by dragging it onto a clip in a sequence.
3. Select a single clip in your sequence to display and change its effect settings in the Effect
Controls panel. Different effects have different controls and options.
4. In the Effect Controls panel, you can reset any setting using the appropriate reset button.
You can remove an effect by selecting the name of the effect in the Effect Controls panel and
 pressing Delete.You can always undo a change you made by pressing Control+Z (Windows) or
Command+Z (macOS).
5. Switch back to the Editing workspace when you’re finished working with effects.

Creating and playing clips
Source clips, clip instances, subclips, and duplicate clips
In Premiere Pro, a clip points to a source file. Trimming a clip, or editing it in any way, does not
affect the source file. For example, if you import a 30-minute file into Premiere Pro, you create a
30-minute clip that points to that source file. If you trim the clip to a five-minute duration, the
30- minute source file remains on your hard disk, but the clip refers only to a five-minute section
of it. Premiere Pro stores information about clips in clip metadata fields in project files, but
stores information about source files in XMP metadata fields.
You can trim source clips, clip instances, subclips, or duplicate clips. You can trim all types of
clips in sequences in much the same way. The clip types differ in the following ways:
Source (master) clip The clip originally imported into the Project panel. It is listed in the Project
panel only once by default. If you delete a source clip from the Project panel, all of its instances
are also deleted.
Clip instance A dependent reference to a source clip, used in a sequence. Each time you add a
clip to a sequence, you create another instance of the clip. A clip instance uses the name and
source file reference used by its source clip. While clip instances are not listed in the Project
panel, they are differentiated in the Source Monitor menu if you open instances there. The
Source Monitor menu lists instances by name, sequence name, and In point.
Subclip A section of a master clip that references the master clip’s media file. Use subclips to
reference discreet sections of long master clips.
Duplicate clip An independent copy of a source clip, which you create manually using the Edit >
Duplicate command. You can also create a duplicate clip by importing the same file more than
once. Unlike a clip instance, a duplicate clip maintains its own reference to the original clip’s
source file on disk and exists as an additional clip in the Project panel. Premiere Pro does not
delete a duplicate clip when you delete its original from the Project panel. Master and duplicate
clips can be renamed independently.
Duplicate a clip
1. In the Project panel, select a clip, and choose Edit > Duplicate.
2. To rename the duplicate clip, select it, choose Clip > Rename, and type a new name for
the clip.
Creating subclips
A subclip is a section of a master (source) clip that you want to edit and manage separately in
your project. You can use subclips to organize long media files.
You work with subclips in a Timeline panel as you do with master clips. Trimming and editing a
subclip is constrained by its start and end points. Subclips reference the master clip’s media file.
If you delete a master clip or take it offline and keep its media on disk, the subclip and its
instance remain online .Create a subclip from the Project panel
You can create a subclip from source clips or other subclips that are made up from a single
media file.
1. Double-click a clip in the Project panel to open it in the Source Monitor.
2. In the Source Monitor, set In and Out points for the subclip. Either or both the In point
and Out point must differ from the source clip In point and Out point.
3. Do one of the following:
Choose Clip > Make Subclip, enter a name for the subclip, and click OK.
Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) the clip to the Project panel. Type a
name for the subclip, and click OK.
