So great. Definitely feeling like a pro these days! It is truly wonderful that all of you share these videos. My “pro-tip” is to check these channels whenever there’s an update to the software. That’s how I stay with the curve. All of you have something slightly different when an update is coming and you get the sneak peek ahead of time. I feel far less blindsided by changes this way and I know I’m always at max efficiency in my work flow. Thanks again for this great video!! (I’ll be back for that audio piece I’m sure).

Glad you introduced people to conversion LUTs - it's such a necessary skill in my opinion. One thing I like to do is apply the LUTs in the "Creative" tab instead. This allows me to make exposure and temp/tint adjustments to the camera original footage BEFORE it goes through the LUT, which I prefer to do vs applying the LUT in the "Basic" tab and making adjustments on top of the LUT (which risks losing image data due to clipping)

Love this, especially the way the Editing community shares and supports each other ❤ Javier’s tip reminded me of another handy way you can move blocks of clips around on the timeline. If you select the clips and copy them (Command+C on a Mac) then Shift+Command V will INSERT PASTE those clips where the play head is on the timeline. This will also push everything down on the timeline too as it doesn’t overwrite. Hope that’s useful for someone out there!

My Tip! Warp stabilization on slow motion clips! In order to do this what you would need to do, is to do your slow motion first. Once you do your slow motion, Nest it. After you nested you can now apply warp stabilization to it. highly recommend to start out 20% first and go lower from there for the best results. And you will be surprised how stabilize your footage can look in slow motion. Tip 2. Applying slow motion to 24 frames per second footage. Right click on the clip that you want to do slow motion on. click on speed/duration after you put in the percentage that you want whether it's 50% or 40%, you want to go down to time interpolation change it from "frame sampling" to "Optical flow" then hit okay. This is not something that you want to do all the time. This is something you can do as a just in case. Because sometimes you will get artifacts to show up in your footage. Main thing is to always make sure you film it correctly using 60 fps or higher.

As a music producer and an audio engineer I just wanted to touch on the audio part: Going up to 0db in the audio will not cause distortion. The whole -6db of headroom is based on analog gear that was used and would start distorting within the gear of above -6db. Now a days you can push your track up to 0 (assuming peaks are not going over 0, if you have a lot of dynamic pitch in a track put a limiter around -.10 to -.5 db. And then gain stage down to desired loudness. Hope this helps 🙂

One tip I discovered while working abroad this summer is;- if you highlight a clip and press. cmd - shift - e, it disables the clip, do it again it enables, I found this very useful to quickly turn off overlays to check what I was hiding or find edit points. Probably in the instructions somewhere but I had never found it.

1) We shoot raw also, and my shopmate starts his color correcting in the Source panel. You can drag+drop a lumetri effect onto a clip in your source panel, which is really helpful if you have a long clip that all needs the same thing. Grab any of the presets from your Effects, drop it onto the clip, and then tweak as needed. 2) When you're going through a long interview or a script or something with audio, again in your source panel, change your view to Audio. That way you'll see exactly when your audio is, and you don't have to scroll and scroll and scroll looking for the next bit. Set your In and Out points, and grab exactly what you need. It saves so much time!

In audio section, better is to export sequence to adobe audition [dynamic link] and make side chain [vox and music]. Of is always good to enhance te vocal and make correction. Javier Mercedes and Timeline Shifts tip is amazing!

@RolandMillington Жыл бұрын

Great tips. So wonderful that everyone shared such great insights. For the audio side, I suggest that working with the mastering filter is best done on the master output buss ("Mix" in the Premiere audio mixer). What I might do in the instance you are encountering would be to either use a multiband compressor on the track and push it up in the frequency ranges germane to your source audio. A couple other things that might be helpful to note would be using something like Yoolean Loudness Meter (they offer a free version, vst2 and vst3, au and aax formats, but the paid version is really worth it) to indeed be able to visualize your audio track. Along with that visualization is the understanding that consumers often hear our audio in stereo spaces. Pushing specific channels into a wider area of the audio spectrum frees up the focal room for your voiceover. In the same way that we make edits with directional-based audio to match it up to a voice capture with the actor/source onscreen left or right, we can push audio further out to the left and right in the stereo spectrum, and open up space for the main vocal.

@PremiereGal Жыл бұрын

I used to add the Mastering effect to the Mix level but the subtle clarity preset made the music sound "Tin" like. So our team started adding it to the dialogue layer as the preset is intended more for vocals. If you have a preset you'd recommend for the mix level let me know :) 😊

@RolandMillington Жыл бұрын

@@PremiereGal My usual chain used to be compress with a multiband compressor in the master buss, followed by multiband EQ and a loudness maximizer. Steinberger's Master Strip (Cubase/Cubasis) is really great for not just adding in the multiband compression but also a stereo imager to expand or contract the stereo spectrum across the frequency bands. At the tail is a loudness maximizer. The typical starting point for voicework is the "subtle touch" preset, which is pretty transparent. From there, I follow my ears. I put that in front of a subtle -.1 db brickwall limiter and then filter everything through the Yoolean Loudness Meter, which has some good metering presets, not the least of which is a metering preset geared towards KZfaq. Now, all that being said, AI will probably replace every last bit of it. Plug in wonky audio, and it comes out the other side like you recorded it at a major studio. LOL Adobe's podcast enhance is really unreal for what it does in such a short amount of time.

The color grading tips are priceless! I learn so much from just watching this channel. In regards to looping: I have a problem in After Effects AND Premiere that CONTINUES to PERPLEX me. Imagine if you will a single composition in After Effects that contains a person's BIO and List of success on top of a big 3D screen while some flashes and stars flash around it (this was derived from a previously purchased template with my edits/tweaks added of course). The clip has one big flaw though. It ends too quickly and does not allow for enough time to be comfortably digested (read) by the viewer. There seems to be no easy way in After Effects to EXTEND/LOOP JUST the last portion of it (the part that shows all of the person's stats and photo atop of the 3D screen with a few random stars flashing around it). In other words my question is this,...does Premiere have a solution that would allow me to extend by looping the last 5 seconds of the clip that contains the final look of the person's stats with some of the collateral effects that play behind it for an additional 8 seconds before fading out? It would allow the last portion to be extended (NOT FREEZING IT) so that it could be viewed longer.

if you work a lot with different sized media instead of right clicking on each clip to "Set to Frame Size" go to your Pr preferences. Click Preferences > Media > Default Media Scaling, and set it to Set to Frame Size. Or use Scale to Frame Size if you want less strain on the CPU.

Hello, Premier Gal, please consider those who do use windows for editing. I know it will be more stress to you but a good percentage of your viewers who do not use Apple laptops may not understand the right key to press, when you mention "press command key". They would not find 'command key' on their windows laptop and then confusion steps in.
