Adobe Premiere Pro: how to use this program

If you are engaged in video content, you have completely heard about the Adobe Premiere Pro program. This is one of the best programs for editing videos, but the problem is that it has a very complicated interface and a huge number of tools, so some users simply have a hard time sorting out everything and they give up halfway. This article will explain how to use Adobe Premiere Pro, so it is recommended that you read it to the end to learn about all the features of the application.

Create a new project

The first thing that the user who runs the program sees is the welcome window. In it you will be offered to choose the next action - create a new project or open an already created one. With the second one, everything is simple - you need to click on the Open Project button, after which, in the "Explorer" window that appears, select the desired project and click the "Open" button. But to create a new project is a little more difficult, but now we will sort it out in order:

1. In the welcome window, click the New Project button.
2. In the new window that opens, enter the name of the project. This is done at the bottom in the corresponding input field. The name can be anything, you can leave it by default if you wish. After entering, click OK.
3. Another window will appear in which you need to select a preset. In short, they all represent the extension of the video. Since widescreen expansion is commonly used, choose any preset from the 1080i or 1080p folders. After selecting, click OK.

Now you know how to use the function of creating a new project in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Add new files to the project.

Having completed all the steps from the previous instruction, you created a new project, which is still empty. Now you need to add new files to it. By the way, as you can see, the program is in English, but there is also a Russian version of Adobe Premiere Pro, if you wish, you can download and install crack, we will use the untranslated version.

In order to add new files to the project, you need to do the following:

1. First, let us indicate to the program which files we want to work with, for this we need to add them to the Name field. To do this, open the "Explorer" window, navigate to the desired folder with the file in it and, holding the LMB (left mouse button) on the file, drag it to the Name area.
2. You can also add a file by clicking the File button in the program, selecting File Import from the menu and specifying the desired file in the "Explorer" window that appears.
3. After the necessary files have been specified, they must be moved to the work area, that is, to the timeline (Time Line). This is done by simply dragging the desired file from the Name area to the Time Line area.

So you’ve learned how to add new files in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, but now we’ll move on to the manual for working with audio and video tracks.

Work with audio and video tracks

Now we’ll figure out how to use the tools for interacting with tracks in Adobe Premiere Pro, but to be more precise, we’ll tell you how to disconnect them and connect to each other, since this is often the knowledge that novice users lack.

So, let's say you decide to replace the voice acting of the film, then adding the film to Time Line gives you two tracks: top - video, bottom - audio. As you can see, they are attached to each other, in this case all actions will be performed immediately for two bands, so that this does not happen, they need to be disconnected from each other:

1. Having pressed LMB, select both strips.
2. Click on the selected RMB objects.
3. In the context menu that appears, select Unlink.

Now the tracks in Adobe Premiere Pro CC are unblocked and you can delete the audio by highlighting it and pressing Delete. Add a new audio track using the instructions from the first method. By the way, you can then combine the new audio track with the video, for this you need to whiten them, click RMB and select Link.

Overlay effects

Continuing to talk about how to use Adobe Premiere Pro, I want to touch on the topic of blending effects. And this is done quite simply:

1. Highlight a video.
2. There is a list in the central part of the window, select the Video Effects folder from it.
3. Select the subfolder with the effect you want and open it.
4. Select the effect you want from the list.
5. Holding the LMB, move it to the Effect Controls area.

After that, tools for entering effect parameters will open. If you don’t know which effect you want to apply, try each one and find the right one.

Save project

Let's finish the article on how to save the created project. For this:

1. Select all the tracks of the project.
2. Open the File menu, go to the Export submenu and select Media.
3. In the right part of the window that opens, set the parameters for video output and click OK.

So you learned about some of the features of this powerful video editor. By the way, this means that you know how to use Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, as their interface is identical.
