Adobe Premiere Tutorial: I. Creating A New Project
e) Click
on
the
Scratch
Disks
tab
at
the
top
of
the
New
Project
dialog
box.
The
scratch
disk
is
the
location
on
your
computer
where
Premiere
will
store
media
and
other
files
related
to
your
project.
By
default
the
Scratch
Disk
will
be
set
to
the
same
folder
that
you
set
as
the
location
for
your
new
project,
which
is
what
we
recommend.
f) So
after
verifying
the
Scratch
Disk
settings,
click
on
OK.
Sequence Settings
g) You'll
now
get
a
New
Sequence
dialog
box
where
you
can
choose
settings
for
your
project's
sequence,
which
is
the
movie
you'll
be
creating.
You
can
change
settings
here
to
match
the
video
format
for
the
camera
you
used
for
this
project.
h) But
you
can
more
simply
change
the
sequence
settings
to
match
your
camera
video
settings
later
by
just
dragging
a
video
clip
into
the
sequence
in
the
Timeline.
That
will
then
automatically
adjust
the
sequence
settings
to
your
camera
video
settings.
i) So
we
recommend
you
just
click
on
OK
to
accept
the
default
sequence
settings
for
now
and
then
later
drag
and
drop
a
clip
to
the
sequence
to
match
the
sequence
settings
to
your
camera
video
format.

II. Workspace
After
you
create
a
new
project
or
re-‐open
an
existing
project,
the
main
workspace
for
Adobe
Premiere
will
open
on
your
screen
divided
into
four
sections
or
panes.
III. Importing
a) There
are
several
ways
to
import
files
into
Premiere.
The
easiest
is
to
use
Premiere's
Media
Browser
to
navigate
to
the
files
on
your
computer
that
you
want
to
import
and
then
just
drag
and
drop
them
into
Premiere's
Project
pane
area.
b) To
do
this,
in
the
Project
pane
in
the
lower
left
of
the
Premiere
screen,
click
on
the
tab
labeled
Media
Browser.
c) You'll
see
the
file
directory
for
your
hard
drive
displayed
on
the
left.
Navigate
to
the
folder
that
has
a
file
you
want
to
use
in
your
movie,
and
you'll
see
the
file
displayed
on
the
right.
Video
files
will
appear
as
icons
showing
the
first
scene
from
the
clip.
d) You
can
preview
a
clip
to
make
sure
it's
one
you
want
to
import
by
hovering
your
mouse
over
it
and
moving
the
mouse
to
the
right
or
left
to
scrub
back
and
forth
through
the
clip.
Don't
click
down
on
the
clip;
just
hover
your
mouse
over
it
to
do
the
scrubbing.
If
you
do
click
on
the
clip,
then
you
can
use
the
small
scrubber
bar
to
move
through
the
clip.
e) To
import
a
file,
click
on
it,
hold
down
your
mouse
button
and
drag
the
file
to
the
left
until
it
hovers
over
the
Project
tab.
That
will
open
up
the
project
files
area
below
the
project
tab.
Drag
the
file
down
to
the
project
files
area
and
release.
f) Premiere
then
will
import
the
file,
which
will
appear
in
the
project
files
pane.
IV. Splitting
Audio
into
2
Mono
Channels
a) We
want
to
be
sure
that
you
have
two
separate
channels
of
audio,
so
you
can
work
with
them
separately
(especially
if
you
used
a
shotgun
microphone
on
one
channel
and
a
lavaliere
on
the
other).
To
set
your
preferences,
click
on
Premiere
Pro
in
the
main
navigation
and
choose
Preferences
and
then
Audio.
b) In
the
section
labeled
Default
Audio
Tracks,
under
Stereo
Media,
select
Mono
from
the
dropdown
menu.
c) Click
OK.

c) Similarly,
if
you
have
a
clip
you
shortened
in
the
Source
pane
before
putting
it
in
the
Timeline,
you
can
lengthen
it
in
the
Timeline
by
clicking
on
the
edge
of
the
clip
and
dragging
it
out.
d) If
you
have
a
clip
with
both
video
and
audio
tracks,
and
you
want
to
change
one
track
without
affecting
the
other
(such
as
deleting
the
audio
track),
right
click
on
the
clip
and
select
Unlink
in
the
drop-‐down
menu.
You
now
can
move
the
video
and
audio
track
clips
independently
of
each
other.
e) By
default,
the
Timeline
is
set
up
so
that
adjacent
clips
"snap"
to
each
other,
which
makes
it
easy
to
align
them
without
having
one
clip
accidentally
overlap
the
other
or
having
an
empty
space
between
the
clips.
f) But
if
needed,
you
can
turn
off
snapping
by
clicking
on
the
Snap
icon,
which
is
in
the
top
left
of
the
Timeline,
above
the
labels
for
the
video
tracks.
If
you
pass
your
mouse
cursor
over
the
icon
the
word
Snap
will
appear.
g) If
you
want
to
delete
a
clip
on
the
Timeline,
just
select
it
and
press
the
delete
key
on
your
keyboard.
X. Audio
Audio
tracks,
either
those
associated
with
your
video
or
tracks
that
are
just
audio,
are
displayed
below
the
video
tracks
toward
the
bottom
of
your
Timeline.
If
you
want
to
stop
the
audio
from
playing
on
a
particular
audio
track
you
can
turn
off
the
audio
in
the
Timeline
by
selecting
the
speaker
icon
button
to
the
far
left.

2. Then
click
on
the

for
an
individual
clip,
on
the
left
click
on
the
tiny
diamond

2. Then
click
on
the
yellow
audio
level
line
on
a
clip
and
drag
it
up
or
down
to
change
the
audio
level
for
that
clip.
c) Adjusting
Volume
at
Multiple
Points
in
a
Clip
1. You
also
can
raise
or
lower
the
audio
at
multiple
points
in
a
clip
to
create
fade
ins
and
fade
outs
in
your
audio.
To
do
this
you
need
to
add
key
frames
to
the
audio
level
line
for
a
clip.
2. First
on
the
left
click
on
the
tiny
diamond
Show
button
and
select
Show
Clip
Key
frames.
3. You
create
key
frames
by
holding
down
the
Command
key
on
the
Mac
keyboard
and
then
clicking
on
the
yellow
audio
level
line
at
the
points
where
you
want
the
audio
to
change
(you
also
can
select
the
Pen
tool
in
the
tool
palette
to
add
key
frames).
4. When
you
then
move
your
mouse
cursor
back
over
a
key
frame
you'll
notice
a
little
diamond
icon
appear
to
the
lower
right
of
the
cursor
arrow.
This
indicates
you
can
5
change
the
audio
level
at
this
point
by
clicking,
holding
down
your
mouse
button
and
dragging
the
key
frame
point
higher
to
increase
the
audio
or
lower
to
decrease
the
audio.
5. The
yellow
audio
level
line
will
change
accordingly.
If
the
audio
level
line
slopes
up
from
one
key
frame
to
the
next,
the
audio
will
fade
in.
If
the
audio
level
line
slopes
down
from
one
key
frame
to
the
next,
the
audio
will
fade
out.
6. You
also
can
move
a
key
frame
to
the
left
or
right
to
change
the
point
for
the
change
in
audio
volume
by
clicking
on
the
key
frame
with
the
cursor
and
dragging
it.
7. To
delete
a
key
frame,
right
click
on
it
and
select
Delete.
XI. Transitions
a) To
add
a
transition
between
clips,
such
as
a
cross
dissolve
so
the
first
clip
gradually
fades
out
as
a
second
clip
fades
in,
go
to
the
Project
pane
and
click
on
the
tab
for
Effects.
b) Then
select
Video
Transitions
to
see
a
set
of
folders
that
have
all
the
different
transitions
that
are
available.
c) One
of
the
most
commonly
used
transitions
is
the
cross
dissolve.
Open
the
Dissolve
folder
and
you'll
see
the
Cross
Dissolve
transition
listed
there.
d) To
add
the
transition
between
two
clips
in
your
Timeline
sequence,
position
your
play
head
between
two
clips,
then
click
on
a
transition
like
the
cross
dissolve,
hold
down
your
mouse
button,
drag
the
transition
to
the
Timeline
and
release
it
when
positioned
between
the
two
clips.
You'll
see
a
gray
area
added
between
the
clips
—
this
is
the
transition.
e) A
quicker
way
to
add
a
cross
dissolve
between
two
clips
is
to
use
a
keyboard
shortcut:
position
the
play
head
between
the
two
clips
and
press
the
D
key
on
your
keyboard.
A
transition
will
be
added
at
that
point.
f) By
default
transitions
are
one
second
long.
If
you
want
to
change
the
duration
or
move
the
transition
slightly
to
the
left
or
right,
first
click
on
the
tiny
disclosure
triangle
at
the
far
left
next
to
the
title
of
the
track
you're
working
on
(such
as
Video
1).
This
will
expand
the
height
of
the
track
so
the
transition
can
be
selected.
g) Then
double
click
on
the
gray
transition
area
between
the
two
clips.
This
will
open
up
a
box
in
the
Source
pane
with
settings
for
the
transition.
h) The
existing
Duration
is
displayed
in
the
middle
of
the
box
and
you
can
change
it
by
typing
in
a
new
number
(the
time
is
displayed
in
hours:minutes:seconds:frames).
i) You
can
shift
the
position
of
the
transition
so
the
first
clip
fades
out
earlier
or
later
by
manipulating
the
display
in
the
upper
right
of
the
three
thick
colored
horizontal
lines.
Click
on
the
gray
line
in
the
middle
and
move
it
left
or
right
to
change
the
position
of
the
transition
relative
to
the
two
clips.
j) If
you
want
to
get
rid
of
the
transition,
click
on
it
in
the
Timeline
and
press
the
Delete
key
on
your
keyboard.
