Learn Adobe Premiere Pro 2023 from Start to Finish | 2 Hour Premiere Pro Workshop w/ Valentina Vee

hi I'm Valentina V and if you want to learn Adobe Premiere Pro from the very beginning you have clicked on the Right video My goal is to be able to get you up to speed in less than three hours which I know is a tall order but I've done it before and we will do it right now and don't worry I'm not just leaving you stranded I am also providing you the assets that I'm working with so in the description you can actually download all of the same files that I'm using and you can follow along with me not only that but I have written an entire booklet of every single hockey cheat sheet everything you need to know terminology it's all in there and you can download that for free as well we're gonna edit two videos one of them is this video about how to make a craft project about art that lights up from the back it's just a few Clips there's music and some text and the second video is an exploration of what is in my tool bag when I go to set because I am a working director and cinematographer in Los Angeles the second one is much more complicated there's three cameras separate audio that we have to sync and Graphics that we have to create and a lot of other things that we're gonna learn but I promise it's actually not that hard one thing that I want to get ahead of before we even start is how to navigate the timeline so this is the timeline I navigate it by moving this play indicator from left to right and as I move it the image above changes so it shows me what I'm playing through right and time goes in a linear fashion so this is the beginning of the video and this is the end of the video I can navigate the timeline by zooming in and out by using this bar here and pushing these two points closer or farther left to right and to play and pause I can go over here and I can press the play button and then it turns into a pause button or I can simply just press the space bar on my keyboard okay now let's rewind and go to the beginning this is how I organize all of my files it's by the date underscore what it is and then when you go into it you can see all of the different folders here and the folders are the same no matter what I'm looking at no matter what project I'm doing I think that that is super super important to maintain that same file structure and the way that I'm I maintain it is I have this little demo folder here so it has all of my subfolders so every time I make a new project all I do is I duplicate this demo copy paste and then I rename the copy so if I renamed it for today for example I would say 2023.06 10 underscore demo 4 tutorial there we go and then I have all of these folders here what you are going to be receiving is the footage folder and the audio folder you won't get any of these other folders because they're empty you need to make them yourself but the footage folder is going to have all of these clips in there and let's just take a look at them for a sec so some of these clips are going to be called Lua so that is the light up art project that we're going to be doing then we have the name of the camera so we have camera a camera B and then the number of the take that we are on or the number of the clip that it is so the clips go in order one two three four you'll also see the what's in my bag project and it's the same thing we have a b and c for right now for the first project that we're doing I don't want you to pay attention at all to the what's in my bag clips okay we're only working with the Lua Clips first we also have the audio folder which has four audio files here you don't have to worry about them yet okay that is for later so don't worry I'm just showing you where they are let's open Premiere Pro okay so this is what Premiere looks like when you first open it and right here you'll notice I have a bunch of stuff don't worry about any of that those are previous projects that I've edited and they show up here for ease of use yours will probably be empty what you really want to pay attention to are here we have new project and open project these are going to be the two buttons that you're going to be working with and of course because we've never made a project before we're not opening one so we're going to go to new project select that and now you are in the import workspace you can see it's actually kind of showing the clips from the latest project that you worked on or edited it's not showing the clips from the project that you're about to be working on or about to be editing so go ahead and go to your computer wherever you save those files and find those which for me is on the hard drive Valentina 14 go over here to tutorial footage and now I have all of my footage loading into here I can also go ahead and start creating the project up here so I'm gonna have to find where the project location is first meaning when we are editing we create a file and that file is our project file our Premiere Pro project that is what we save and then what we open up again when we want to access the project again luckily when I create my folders on my computer I actually create a folder that's called Premiere and that's where my Premiere project lives so I'm going to go ahead and navigate to that over here choose location Premiere so I'm going to select that folder and I'm going to choose a project name for the project name I'm going to say light up art now we have a bunch of import settings here which are good for if you are trying to just do something really really quick for me I like to do everything bespoke I like to do everything from scratch now what do I mean well let's say that I do have new bin and new sequence selected and I go ahead and I select the clips I can either select them one by one or I can select the one of them press shift select the last one and selects everything in between I can keep going select all the Lua Clips right all the clips that say Lua light up art and ignore all of the other ones so I can go ahead and do that and you can see as I selected them they actually show up down here in the order that I selected them if I click create let's see what happens it has created a sequence with all of our Clips it's put them into that sequence in order it's also created a bin with all of our Clips in the bin but I feel like this is maybe a little too confusing so here's what would have happened if I had not selected create new sequence or create new bin I'm just going to delete everything in here when you open up Premiere Pro for the first time this is what it's actually going to look like and you basically have four main windows that you're working with you have your project window your Source window your program window and your timeline window or that's where your sequences are now your project window this is where you keep all your media right so this is like your finder or your file explorer this is where you organize and keep things now your Source window right here that is where you preview your media so before putting it into the project you can pull it up there and kind of have a preview of what it's going to look like or what portion of it you need to grab you also have your timeline over here which is where your project will be built so this is where your Clips will be in order and you'll be able to view your timeline in your program window so it actually makes a lot of sense you can view your Clips your individual media Clips in your Source window and you can view your timeline which is your project once the clips are put together in your program window a couple more things to take a look at here you have your tool bar this is how you switch from one tool to the other so you can either switch by clicking on it like this pretty easy or if you hover over it it'll actually show you what the shortcut is and what the tool does so it says selection tool V this one says track select forward tool a so if I just press a on my keyboard it'll change to that if I press V on my keyboard it'll change to that the tool at the top the selection tool is the one you're going to be using most often so I would say definitely remember v as a shortcut because you're going to be using it quite a lot and lastly what's going to pop up here is your decibel scale so this is going to tell you how loud your video is and oftentimes I don't know about you I don't like to rely on my ears to tell me how loud things are I look the decibel scale and I make sure that my video is hitting around over here negative 12 decibels between negative 12 and negative 6 this is like the sweet spot right here for for a video to be sounding good if it goes over here that means it's clipping it's too loud if it's hitting over here at like negative 45 it's too quiet so those are the basic Windows um within Premiere Pro but sometimes you they might get a little funky right you might accidentally touch something and mess it up because these windows can actually go anywhere in any way in any order and uh be rearranged this is super super helpful for if you have more than one monitor or you have a particular way of working but the problem is they can get all jumbled up and you can get confused you're like oh no where was where was that thing and and you don't know how to get back to the place where you were at so just go to window workspaces and reset to saved layout you can see all of the different types of Windows are up here so there's more than just four there's a lot that can pop up but the basic four basic ones are over here in the editing layout so just go to reset the save layout and it'll go back to the way it was before so you don't get confused so right now we are in the edit tab but we were in the import tab before so if we wanted to go back to the import tab we just have to go to import and everything is still here right there's also the export tab which is for when you actually have made your video and you want to now glue it all together and put it as one file on your computer you go to the export tab to do that soon to cup I already showed you how to put Clips in using import mode but for me personally I like to put them in within the edit tab by going over here and double clicking so you can double click anywhere in the project window double click and it'll pull up your computer your file explorer so now you can go into that folder with footage and you can select all the Lua clips again I'm selecting the first one I'm holding down shift selecting the last one and they all pop up and I can go open and here they all are right now I am in list view you can see down here list View and list view is super helpful because list view tells you things about your video that you might need to know like the frame rate the duration Etc there's even more over here on the right side that you may not see unless you go on this little scroll bar down here but you might want to see the thumbnails too so if you want to see the thumbnails you can go over here to Icon view instead and now it populates with all of the thumbnails from the video but you can see that they're in a weird order if you want to order them by the way that you shot them presumably they're all numerical so go down here to this menu and you can sort the icons by name so now they're all in a row another thing you can do if you want to make this window bigger and see more of them is you can just hover between Windows and increase the size you can also go down here and increase the size of the thumbnails themselves if you want to preview what's within a thumbnail all you have to do is hover over it right to left this is called hover scrubbing and you can scrub through the clip very quickly to kind of get an idea of what's inside there if we go back to list View let's arrange this a little bit first let's see all of the details about each clip on the screen at the same time so if I press the tilde key which is on the top left of your keyboard it's that squiggly line I select this window I press the tilde key and it goes full screen so I can see a little bit more information across my entire screen and what I want to do what I want to know of course the frame rate I think is very important because it actually switches you can see here some clips are 23.976 some clips are 59.94 so it's helpful to know which Clips are which I also would like the video info that is also very useful to me so I'll literally just take the video info column and drag it over and maybe the media direct video duration as well so now the first three columns are frame rate video info and video duration now go ahead and press tilde again to minimize that frame rate is essentially how many photos per second does the video display here's an example so let's go to the first one over here and you can see here that I double clicked on this file and it popped up in the source window so now I can have a little preview of what is in this file you can also see over here on the right this is the length of the entire clip so the clip is a minute and 23 seconds but right now I am at zero zero zero zero if I click the right arrow on my keyboard and I just nudge the playhead which is this blue line right here this little blue tick this little it's called a playhead or a current time indicator if you're if you're being correct so if I on my keyboard just go to the right it'll go forward one frame and if I do that 24 times it should get me one second of video so I'll do that right now one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen Seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty one two three four there we go one second so basically in this video it's displaying 24 frames during one second but you can see later here we have some 60 frame per second clip so if I pull one of those up and I do it 24 times it will not get to one second let's try it one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen Seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen Seventeen eighteen nineteen forty one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen Seventeen eighteen nineteen 60 right so it takes 60 photos to get to one second of footage all of these that are 59.94 by the way let's just say 60 right to make it easy 60 frames per second all of them are b-roll Clips meaning they are additional footage they are not part of the primary bulk of the video you can see they're just they're clips of the art on the wall so let's give them a color let's make them a different color so that later we can differentiate them a little bit so I'm going to select the first one shift select the last one that selects all of them I could either do that or I can draw a box around them too by just holding down my mouse and drawing the box and over here where the colors are I can right click go to label and give it a label like I don't know let's do magenta okay so now we know all the magenta Clips are 59.94 now let's go to all of the clips labeled a over here so that's a camera and let's also change that label color let's do mango okay great so now we have three different colors we have a we have B and then we have our also a cam but these are are 60 frames per second clips when I go into icon view I won't be able to see the colors but I will be actually able to see the icons so that is also super helpful to me as you can see all the clips are actually in one giant void right now there's no organization to them besides that we've given them some colors so let's start making folders and start organizing our footage over here and folders in Premiere Pro are called bins so don't get that confused it's just bins we can go down here to New bin icon and there's a bin let's call it 01 footage now why did I put an 01 in there well because sometimes you have more than one bin right we'll do another bin called O2 audio and we'll do another bin called 03 sequences and maybe a fourth one oh four graphics o5 music and if I only wrote the names of these bins and I didn't put numbers in front of them when I arranged them alphabetically they would be all willy-nilly right audio would be first but because I did it this way this kind of lets me control the order of things so I'll go ahead and in this footage bin I'll go ahead and select all the actual footage and I'll put it into the footage bin to create a new sequence I could go up here to file new sequence I could also do the shortcut Ctrl n or I can go here to the new item button new item sequence so I'll go over here to New sequence but first I'll actually select the sequence bin that way the new sequence just goes into my sequence bin new sequence and I'll get this box now don't worry there's all of these wonderful presets here so you don't really have to think too hard about what the sequence setting should be my recommendation just go to the very first one Ari which is a camera manufacturer here 1080P and choose the very very first one this is going to be your standard size and look for a YouTube video and then for the sequence name you guessed it I'm going to do 01 as the leader because then everything is alphabetized to my liking I'm gonna say oh one and string out now a string out is all of your Clips arranged in order essentially and it helps you kind of see everything and put it on a timeline before you go ahead and start playing with everything so you can see that it added a sequence here you can see it's also blank and I can tell it's blank because there's nothing in the program monitor so let's put some stuff in there let's go into our footage bin double click and let's put up our a cam footage so I can either just drag it over one by one like this or I'm going to undo by pressing command Z command z i can select the first one shift select the last one and put it in there so far I'm only going to do my eight cam footage and here we go it's in there if I want to see the actual thumbnails of what I'm looking at in the actual sequence all I have to do is hover my mouse between V1 and V2 this stands for video and of course the a stands for audio right so just hover between V1 and V2 and there you go the thumbnails appear but we have a problem what is the problem well look the actual file you can see the table the edge of the table and a little Beyond it but here it's all zoomed in what is happening well let's go to the video info to see here in video info it's going to tell us the dimensions of each of our clips and the dimensions are 4K so 3840 by 2160. what does that mean well it literally means the amount of pixels across the top of the video and along the side of the video so every piece of video footage in fact every photo or anything that is made out of dots of color called pixels has dimensions and so this just tells us the dimensions so there's 3840 by 2160 which means 30 40 across the top and 2160 across the side but what about this sequence well if we go to sequence sequence settings we can actually see what the frame size of the sequence is and it's 1920 by 1080. so the sequence is a lot smaller than the clip that we put into it how much smaller well it's four times smaller so if you think about it in terms of surface area if 4 10 80 windows can fit into one 4K window so if we're going to make sure that this is the same size as our sequence we gotta change the size we gotta scale it down a little bit let's go into effect controls which is a tab up here now don't worry the source is still up there so let's go to effect controls let's select our clip here and over here in the very first batch of controls are the motion controls you can see here at scale it says 100. if we hover over that number 100 and we drag it to the right it scales in if we drag it to the left it scales down now instead of trying to guess uh okay how how much do I need for it to scale properly we can just go right click set to frame size and it knows for us we also could have guessed because it's exactly 50 right we could do that to every single one of these we can type in 50 or we can right click and go set the frame size but we can also just select all of them right click and do set the frame size and now they're all properly scaled but are they because you can still see the edges of the table here right we don't want each clip to be exactly the same size as the frame because there's all this extra over here that's ugly we want to get rid of we only want to see the table top so what are we going to do well we'll choose any of them it doesn't matter which because the camera doesn't move the entire time right so choose whichever and then use that scale slider to scale it up so that we only see the top of the table perfect now what we can do is we can copy paste this motion control across all of them so we'll select the word motion over here we'll go command C then we'll select all of them command V so now they are all resized let's say that we want to make sure that the content that we have here is in the middle of our frame right now it's kind of to the bottom right we can go over here to position so we can use these sliders for the X and Y coordinates we can reposition this okay great but it is a little bit skewed it's kind of skewing to the left a little bit so we can go over here to rotation rotate it ever so slightly maybe two degrees that looks perfect Okay cool so now we've changed the position we've changed the scale and we've changed the rotation so let's add those numbers to the other three Clips by selecting the word motion command C for copy select the other ones command V for paste and now that same thing has been applied to all of them now you notice that when we dragged these four Clips over here they came with audio right and if you select each of these clips what happens is that the audio gets selected too and in this video we don't want any audio so how do we make sure that we get rid of the audio well there's a bunch of ways to do this the first way to do it is we can simply mute this track by pressing M so if we mute this track we won't be able to hear it we can also unlink the audio right now you can see this little V in Brackets that means that the video and the audio are linked but if we right click and go to unlink now they're separate and they are not linked you can do that to all of them by the way by drawing a box selecting them you can also select all of them by going command a select all right click unlink so now they're all unlinked you can also do it with a shortcut so command L will unlink them for you instead of right clicking and going to unlink you can also hold down uh option or alt and draw box and select only the audio and delete it another way to unlink without physically going to unlink is just deselect link selection over here and then nothing that's linked will be linked but it'll still be there so that it can be linked again but you can deselect link selection and delete and then select that again so lots of different ways to get rid of the audio the point is that now we just have the video clips to work with and not the audio you can see here that the video right now is 20 minutes long because we put all our Clips but we haven't cut any of them yet so the actual length of the footage is 20 minutes long and where the current time indicator is is written right here so if we move the time indicator across these numbers change we can also move the time indicator over here in the program monitor so if we move this left to right you can see the line at the bottom also moves now if your computer is struggling with these files you can also change your resolution that you're playing this back at so over here this is right now playing at one quarter resolution this doesn't mean that in the end your video will look like it's at one quarter resolution this is just for you when you're editing to be able to lighten the load on your computer a little bit so if you're using those 4K files maybe you're on a really old laptop I would highly recommend viewing it at a quarter resolution I'm going to move it actually back up to full so that you can see it a little bit better let's say that we don't actually want to disturb this string out at all we don't want to do any Cuts right here maybe we want to preserve this because I don't know it has some data in it we change some motion control so maybe we want to preserve this let's duplicate the sequence and work on the duplicate Instead This is a way to kind of save your work as you go and edit non-destructively so the first thing I'm going to do I know that this tab this string out this sequence I know where it is right I know it's over here in the project in the bin called sequences but let's say I didn't know that let's say I had like a million sequences I didn't know where to find it so I would just right click and go to reveal sequence in Project it would show me exactly where that sequence is now I want to duplicate it so I right click go to duplicate so now I have a second one let's name it O2 selects double click and it opens it up right here the duplicate so both of these are exactly the same but I'm going to work on the second one so the whole point of this first shot is that I want all of these items to pop into the shot but at the beginning they're actually all laid out so what I want to do is kind of reverse the footage start with the end and end with the beginning and it's pretty easy to reverse it you guessed it right click so right click speed duration and reverse speed press ok so now the beginnings at the end and the ends at the beginning and how do I know that my speed's been reversed well you can see over here in Brackets it says negative 100 that's the speed the speed is exactly reversed so I'm gonna need to go ahead and place a cut right here right where my hands have just left the frame and it's only the painting how do I do that well a lot of people would go over here to the razor tool select it place a cut then go back over to the selection tool take this delete it by pressing delete on your keyboard and then take this clip and then move it forward right and they would repeat the process so I need to cut it right before my hands come in again so they would go to the razor tool place a cut go over here to when my hands come out place a cut go to the selection tool delete and then move this over that takes so long I'm going to show you a few other options so let's go to where we have to place a cut again so right before the paper shows up let's zoom in a little bit and let's cut it right where the playhead is let's use the playhead as our ninja sword as long as the clip is selected you can go command K and insert that cut now let's go to where the hand is out again do command K so now we have to get rid of this right so we could do delete or we can right click but and go to Ripple delete what happened well what happened was we got rid of this middle clip and then everything after it rippled forward check it out again let me select that right click Ripple delete It rippled Isn't that cool okay let's do that again so right before the hand comes in right there so command k the hand comes in all right right here is where we want to Ripple delete it again right so we'll do command K we want to get rid of this little sliver so instead of choosing Ripple delete from a menu you can go to control delete on APC or optionally on a Mac ta-da awesome let's do that again so we'll find right before the hand comes in command k right after the hand goes out command K and then control delete now what if I told you that there's an even easier way to do this so again let's find where our cut point is right before the scissors come on command K now we want everything to happen at once right we want the cut to happen at the playhead then we want this new chunk that develops to delete itself out of existence and we want everything after the cut to Ripple forward all we have to do is use one shortcut and that's the letter Q that's it so you can just keep going over here right before the hand comes in command K right after the hand Q and build out this whole beginning number now the question is what if it was the other way around what if you had a cut that's already there in the future you wanted to create a new cut right before it and you want it to Ripple everything from this cut to this cut what would you do well the shortcut is W so let's say I want to place a cut here and ripple from here to here just get rid of this little section all I would do is press w bam so you can see now the way it plays out all of the objects appear on screen okay I spent another minute going through this and I finished up all the cuts I also re-framed some of these you can see I went all the way up to 100 in scale I wouldn't ever really try to go more than that because at that point you're getting some pixelation like you can start seeing the individual pixels here and you can see what I ended up with is large swaths of boring footage this is still a six and a half minute video and I really would like to keep it around a minute maybe so what I want to do is speed some of these longer Clips up now just like before where we actually reversed the first clip we can just change the speed on this right click go to speed duration and put a new speed or a new duration so if I want this to be twice as fast for example I can do 200 percent and now it's twice as fast and I can get rid of this Gap right here by right clicking in the middle and going to Ripple delete so now if I play it through it's going still very slowly so I could always right click go to speed duration change it to 400 or something like that or I can rate stretch it so the rate stretch tool it's hidden in the toolbar it's right here so if you don't see it like for example if the Ripple edit tool is on or something all you have to do is click and hold and change it to the rate stretch tool but you can also see that the shortcut is R so if I ever want to enable the ray stretch tool I can just go to R and that basically changes the speed of whatever the clip is so I can go over here to the end of it and drag it forward and that will stretch the speed so now it'll play through a lot faster and you can see here in the big parentheses 529 that's how fast it is if I rate stretch it even farther fifteen hundred percent and you can see my computer is kind of like stalling sometimes that happens when you put too many effects on something or when you have like really heavy footage to play with and there's a way to play it back super super smooth the way to do that is to render that area or that clip right here you can see above the timeline you've probably noticed there's a yellow line and when there is no footage there is no line now this line it can be green it could be yellow or it could be red yellow generally means hey watch out it might not play through for you very smoothly you might have to render it so I like to think of rendering as like preheating the oven right if you put something into the oven right when it's cold it's going to take a really long time to cook because it has to be preheated first so let's preheat the oven here let's render this little section now we could just select this go over here to sequence and render the selection but I also want to teach you about in and out points so let's actually render into out we haven't set in and out points yet though so let's set those so here on the timeline we'll move our playhead to the beginning of the clip and how can we make sure that it's the beginning of that clip well we can use our up and down arrows on the keyboard and that'll just snap us to the next cut point so we'll go to the beginning we'll press I on our keyboard I that's in you can see this little gray bar appears and it shows us that this is our endpoint now we'll press down on our keyboard that goes to the end of the clip where the cut is and press o on our keyboard that's the out point this is the section that we want to render so we'll go to sequence render into out this is the rendering window and it tells you how much time is left in the render and how many frames we are rendering once it's done you can see this section turns green and you can play it through and it should play through without stuttering without any problems and if we want to clear those in and out points we just have to click in this area right click clear in and out so what I'm going to do is I'm going to rate stretch a lot of these sections because me cutting around this artwork it just it's a snooze Fest right so I'm going to right stretch that just right stretch out a lot of them with no abandon without abandon yeah just rate stretch rate stretch yeah so now we have all of these little chunks here with a lot of gaps in between so I can select in the middle of the gaps right click and go to Ripple delete Ripple delete Ripple delete but imagine doing that for like an hour long video that can get pretty annoying so I'm gonna undo command Z command Z so there is actually a way to close all the gaps but the shortcut isn't a default so you actually have to create the shortcut yourself and I'll show you how to do that you could go to edit keyboard shortcuts this is a super great menu for if you ever forget anything at all you can always look it up or create your own if you want to create a shortcut just type in whatever you want to create the shortcut for so for me it's close Gap right there it pulls up and you can see there is no shortcut for it so I just click over here to where it says shortcut and I'll put my keystrokes in so for me it's going to be Ctrl alt G that's going to be my closed Gap shortcut I'm going to press ok so then when I go to my timeline I do Control Alt G and it closes all the gaps now if I wanted to render this entire thing yes I could go to the beginning over here by either dragging my playhead or clicking this go to n button and then I could go to out I could press o so I set my in and out points and then go to sequence render in and out or even if I don't have in and out points sequence render in and out will still render the entire sequence so by default sequence render in and out just renders everything even if you don't put in and out points there before we go any further I'm going to make a version I like to make a version every time I render so right click reveal sequence in Project there's that sequence I'm going to right click duplicate and rename my new sequence 03 first cut double click so now I'm on the first cut sequence and I'm leaving all the other ones alone in a few of these clips it's actually hard to tell what's going on because it's a top view right so you can't really tell that I'm sliding this into a frame I have a better angle so instead of using this one let's find something else to use so I'm gonna go back into my footage folder double click go to Icon view so that I can see all of the thumbnails over here and I'm gonna go to my B camera double click open that up and I'm going to actually find the section of the front view camera where I am doing this exact motion oh there it is okay so this is actually better viewed from the side so let me put this clip in but the problem is if I go ahead and do the thing that I did before where I just select this thumbnail and I go ahead and drag it in Oh My Gosh Look What Happens not only is it a super long clip because I didn't designate which portion of the clip I'm going to be bringing in but it just covered everything so that's not good I'm gonna undo that so instead of doing that let's first um figure out where to put this in my timeline I'm gonna put it right here I'm going to slip it in right there so I'm going to put my time indicator there and remember I can always click on the up and down arrows to kind of snap my playhead to that spot and now I need to designate which portion of this clip I am putting right there so you guessed it in and out points I'm going to press I and that's going to create that end point right I'm going to take the current time indicator to the end right there where the artwork is inside of the frame I'm going to press o voila now I can go ahead and drag it and it doesn't drag the entire thing I can put it on the second track and I think this is what people do all the time right they just drag it and they put it on the second track meaning you have multiple video tracks so the one that's on top is the one that's going to show right and we can always right click uh set to frame size or we can do the shortcut shift command f but then what people usually do is then they'll be like okay um but I gotta put it there so I'm going to zoom out I'm going to grab all this I'm going to move that aside and then I'm gonna put it in and then I'm gonna bring this up uh okay well no we're not doing that there's there's an easier way to do this trust me so undo undo undo first of all if you were gonna do that the faster and easier way to select everything after your mouse is to change your mouse to a track select forward tool which is a you can see it's over here a or you just press a which means that it automatically selects everything that is after where your mouse is right so if I were to do it that way I would select a then I'd go back V on my keyboard for the selection tool and I'd press shift to also select this one move it aside move this down move this down but there's an even easier way to do this so undo undo undo undo undo again I'm going to place my cursor by going up and down on the keyboard right where I want to sort of insert that clip and I'm going to go into the insert button that's right here so insert ta-da not only did it insert that clip but it also rippled all of the other Clips back watch that again insert now there's another one right here it's called overwrite so if I wanted to do overwrite this is what would happen if I do that it overrides on top it doesn't Ripple everything right so insert inserts it and override goes on top of everything now if I wanted to put this little section of the clip onto this second layer without having to also drag the audio with it what I could do is drag video only that's where I just go into this icon right here I hold it and I drag it over another way to do it simply is to lock this entire track so watch what happens when I lock the track so I'll lock the track and I'll go insert so what happened the audio came through but the video did not well that's because Source patching is enabled on the first video layer not any other ones so this highlight this blue Highlight behind the V1 track if I move it up to the V2 track and then I do the insert bam it goes on the second layer but what happens when you unlock it and do insert everything still ripples so if you unlock it you would have to do overwrite for that to be up there let's just say it is on the second track over here and I want to put it in here in between here now what do I do well I can again I can go to my a tool select everything V then shift select that move it over then drop it down I can also just go alt hold down alt and then move down on the Arrow key for that to drop down another way that I could Ripple this and insert it into that first video layer is I can just hold it and while dragging uh hold down command and Bam it's in there so want to make sure that that's the right size right click set to frame size or I can just use the shortcut shift command f and then I want to delete this one because I no longer need it I have the front view which is better so use that shortcut from earlier command delete there we go and maybe I also want to do this moment from the front but then starting here I want to do it from the side so I'll go q and that'll insert a cut and then cut everything to the previous cut right so I'll do Q here and I'll go ahead and find that moment where both of them are being displayed I and O again I can press the insert or overwrite or I can use the shortcuts which are the comma or the period so I'll do the comma to insert there we go shift command f to frame it properly and Bam it's almost like one follows the other now remember our 60 frame per second clips from earlier remember if we go into list view we see them here we labeled them this pink color well if we open any of them up what happens what does it look like well it just looks like I'm mounting them to the wall in real time and if I wanted to put a clip of that at the end here I could do the same thing where I can do I and then o over here and then do comma and it jumps in uh right click set to frame size perfect but because they were recorded at 60 frames per second I can also rate stretch them and they'll turn into slow motion so I can go r on my keyboard for rate stretch and stretch it out and what happens is it plays back in nice slow motion but only to a point right if I stretch it far out it'll Jitter right it'll be really really jittery I'll try I'll do even more intense so you can see it's like right so 60 frames per second can only stretch so far until you get that really jittery looking motion so how do you make sure that you have the perfect percentage right how do you know if you're recording things at different frame rates that you get the right frame rate that you get the right ratio well for me I wouldn't use rate stretch on these clips instead I would conform these clips to the correct frame rate before I start placing them in my timeline so let's delete this and let's go to all the clips that are 59.94 right I'll select all of them select the first one shift select the last one that selects all of them then I'll go ahead and right click go to modify interpret footage and here I can put in my new frame rate so I can assume a new frame rate and what am I going to say well I'm going to assume the frame rate of all the other Clips 23.976 so I'll assume this frame rate 23 .976 I'll press OK and now when I click on any of these clips they play back in slow motion already so I'm gonna have to set a new and out point starting here in and out and then I can go ahead and drop it in there I also want to put one at the beginning right because we want to do like what are we making at the beginning so I'll go jump my playhead to the beginning over here by using this uh button or I could have like physically moved it over there as well and I'll choose a nice looking shot Maybe when right when the lights turn off and Bam so I'll go in with I out with o right there and I'll pop it in at the very beginning and then maybe another close-up I and O we'll pop it in right there let's move on to the next step I of course I'm going to duplicate this sequence and make a new one so right click reveal sequence in Project right click duplicate o4 uh I'm going to call it with music and double click let's add music okay so obviously you can use whatever music you want and I usually put the music that the client requests into this music folder but if you don't have music to use there's music inside of Premiere Pro that you can license so if you go over here to window we're finally going to open up another window thus far we've only been working with these four and we're gonna go ahead and open up essential sound so essential sound panel can not only edit the audio that you are already working with but it can help you find new audio as well so we're going to go over here to browse and browse some audio from Adobe stock so let's see moods we'd like this to be happy and inspiring for genres let's go pop and maybe dance that could be fun and for filters let's do a pretty Up Tempo song we want it to be at least one minute long and we can choose which Partners uh we are pulling the music from now it's very important to note that uh once you choose a song you do have to license it by clicking on the shopping cart icon because otherwise you're gonna get dinged by you know the copyright on whatever website you are trying to upload this to but you can also download a low resolution track just to kind of play around and see if it works in your project so I'm gonna put my playhead at the beginning of my video and I'm going to make sure the timeline sync is enabled over here and I'm gonna go through and see what kind of music I have and kind of play the clips along with my video let me start over here with reflective upbeat [Music] thank you I like it so I'm just gonna drag it into my project into over here this is the first track down here I'm going to mute this for now so that we can uh listen to some other ones try Lo-Fi calm nope too slow the ambient [Music] I also like this one so I'll put it in also like this one let's put that one in so you can see that all three of these tracks are different durations but I can either mute two of them to listen to one of them so if I mute the top two I'll hear the bottom oh that is very loud how do I know it's clipping at the top see how the decibel scale is going really high up listen to this right so if I want to turn it down make it a little bit less loud there's this volume line in the middle and I'll just drag it down maybe minus six decibels let's play that [Music] yeah that's all right about the right level so if I wanted to listen to this one I could mute this one and unmute that one that's I could do that but also I could just solo that one that's what the S is for and play that back again this is way too loud so I'm gonna lower the intensity I can either change the decibel intensity here there's another way I can do it where I could right click and go to audio gain and I could go minus six over here and you can see in this way the actual um the actual waveform got lower in the track I could also if I wanted to turn it down lower I could go over here to the edit tab in essential sound mark it as music and then turn the clip volume down over here as well okay let me solo that one again too loud so let me do this version here all three different versions of how to change the volume oh I did the opposite I think sure did I added six so let's subtract 12 in order to balance it out [Music] like the last one the best so I'll delete these two and I'll move this up and if I want to find where it is I just have to right click and go to reveal and project and here it says Adobe stock audio media I can go ahead and put that bin inside of the music bin so that everything's more organized for me once I'm ready to buy it I just click on the shopping cart icon and it says license Adobe stock music track and I have 45 licenses so I can go ahead and confirm and now it's licensed to me as I'm playing through I want to make more edits to this but if I'm doing that shortcut command K what happens is that this gets sliced through as well right command K this keeps getting sliced through so I want to preserve the music track and make sure that it doesn't get sliced through so I'm going to undo that and I'm going to lock the track once I lock it it can't be touched right so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to time all of this to the track itself so let's see the very beginning let's play that through foreign that was good so let me rate stretch okay next one [Music] so maybe I want to start the tools here so I'll go a first select all afterwards and I'll extend this a little bit [Music] and then right here where the that beat drops that's where I want the tools to start appearing right so one thing that's going to be very helpful to me is to place markers on the timeline so that I don't have to every single time be like okay where is that okay shorten it let's play it through okay where's that next one okay it's here so we got to move that here and make it shorter this way I could just Place markers and then I don't have to listen to the song anymore so what I'm gonna do is as I'm listening through to this track I'm going to place my finger on the m key and keep pressing it every time there's a Beat [Music] m m [Music] so now all I have to do is find where those markers are right there right there right there and as long as my snapping is enabled I should be able to just snap each of these to the markers now all of these tools appear on the beat watch this [Music] and also see what happens when I'm scrolling along this is called scrubbing and you start hearing that that sound that tinny sound you can go ahead and turn that off over here in preferences audio you can deselect play audio while scrubbing ah sweet silence but when you press play or you press the space bar [Music] okay so you can see here I went ahead and I cut these all up I made it pretty pretty good like around a minute and two seconds and um the track is too long for me so instead of doing something like just shortening it up and having it end abruptly like this if that were the case I'd maybe want to kind of make sure that the audio like dips or Peters out at the end so maybe what I could do is go to my effects window over here and type in fade and over here under audio transitions Crossfade maybe I'll grab the exponential fade drop it in so that it sounds like this [Music] sounds pretty abrupt though because it's not the song's natural ending so maybe instead of doing that what I would do is okay I got it I'll place a cut here and then I'll move the back part over but then I kind of just placed the cut randomly and this transition is probably not going to sound very nice let's see no that sounds awful so how do I shorten it have this natural fade but also not have a rubber up transition well I'm going to undo that you can just remix it it's the remix tool it's over here hiding behind the rate stretch tool and when you use it and you change the length of the track it actually uses artificial intelligence called Adobe Sensei to figure out where the most logical Cuts should be and those are indicated with these squiggly lines right here so let's play through the squiggly lines and hear how it sounds [Music] very good very natural how about this one very good maybe I want it to be just a tad bit longer than that because I want to um I want to put a last clip at the very end this isn't my last clip the last clip I want is of the lights turning off right so let me try to make it just a tad bit longer let's see what it does aha perfect so it gave me that latitude and I'm going to just find a good ending clip maybe this one right here so I'll grab I and O points great and I'll put it in how does that sound let's see oh I definitely want it to go dark on that so I will find the point in the clip where the lights turn off and I'll place a marker on the clip itself instead of placing a marker on the timeline by selecting the clip and going M so that places the marker on the clip itself and then I'll know I think that Aang is around here so I'll even that out and then drag it to the end let's see [Music] so now that we have the music laid out and our edit is done let's actually start adding some text so we'll go over here to the type tool and start typing directly on the screen so with the type tool selected we are going to add the word floating frames okay not too bad but the default font it's not really doing it for me so let's open up another window we'll go over here to window and we'll open up essential graphics and it'll open up in another tab here so we still have essential sound but now we also have essential graphics and this is what's going to control all the graphics that we are seeing so first let's choose another font let's try Poppins oh I quite like that maybe all caps adjust the kerning and letting a little bit adjust the position and alignment make the font smaller so you can see here in a line and transform as I hover over any of these numbers they change also see what's happening here in the timeline itself you can see here on track number two the actual text has become a layer now if I want to duplicate this I just hold down option and drag and then it duplicates it for me so now I have something that I can go ahead and reposition over here and I'm going to type in parchment paper now that font is quite big so I'm going to make it smaller maybe 60. so let's make this one 60 as well just to keep the same size okay nice floating frames parchment paper I'm going to hold down alt or option drag that again over here selection tool over here let's make it left Justified this is just like if you've used Photoshop or illustrator you'll recognize a lot of this menu artwork by the way this is an artwork that I made in the style of Roy Lichtenstein I could also just make this longer right and then just use the razor tool to cut it that's the other way to do it great and then let's do the word ingredients so I will extend this cut it right here and not ingredients let's do tools and let's Center justify it and then Center it align it in the center make it really big it's Center align it again uh give it yeah there we go nice this doesn't have to be completely white right I can make it slightly see-through remember how on the audio this was our volume line well on video this is our opacity line so I can drag this down and make it a little bit more transparent nice and if you wanted to add some more of those fun blend modes they're over here in effect controls which is a window that by the way exists for whatever you're on so here under effect controls you can go ahead and under opacity you can do something like I don't know overlay for example turn that back on yeah so maybe maybe soft light maybe that's better something like that nice and let's actually I alt dragged that title over let's give this a name so light up artwork or light up art and let's have it appear right as the lights go down there and let's give it a color maybe a yellow nice nice I'll start it there and then it'll fully get the color it needs to be there so I'll place a marker just so that I know and then what I'll do is I'll place a keyframe on this meaning it'll start at zero and then it'll end up at 100 opacity so all I have to do is uh hold down alt place a keyframe hold down alt place a keyframe and drag the first one down [Music] and if you want to see just that without having this influence you I can always turn off the visibility of the bottom layer just so that you can see only what the graphic is doing that's actually what's so fun about having multiple layers right because if I want to export a version of this later that has no Graphics at all all I have to do is toggle this off and now you can't see any of the graphics I can always enable the visibility and now you can see all the graphics speaking of enabling or disabling What if I wanted to turn off some of these Graphics but not all of them right what if I wanted to to I don't know turn off these middle three for example right because if I disable the visibility of the whole layer I disable everything on that layer so I could take these three and move them up and then take off the visibility of that layer or something else I could do is I could take these three right click and deselect enable so see how now they're grayed out this is like a bright red and this is like a dull red so you see this one but you don't see these three I'm gonna re-enable them I can right click go to enable or I could just do a shift e and that'll enable disable different layers okay now that I've added all this text in all these directions maybe I rethink the color or the font that I'm trying to work with I can always change it so if I select all of these I can go up here and I can just change the font to whatever I want maybe I'm feeling something like this actually I quite like that rounded Vibe I'm kind of noticing that a lot of these clips from the front are sort of muted I might want to add some more color maybe some more saturation to these so you guessed it let's open another window let's go to window lumetri color and let's work on this clip in particular this clip that I have selected right here so we will go and maybe add some saturation right now it's at 100 let's go to 118 and let's make it a little bit brighter as well okay that looks good in comparison to that oh yeah big difference so now what I can do is I can go ahead and select the lumetri color effect which is Premiere Pro's color workflow essentially anytime you want to change colors or do anything with color you go to elementary color I'm going to right click and copy or I can just do command C I could go to the next clip and command V okay and then the next Blue clip right because we know that that's all our clips from the front from camera B command V you can see that as I do it this little effects marker it changes from being yellow which means no effects two being green which means it has an effect on it but guess what that is not really super fun to do when you have you know 20 minutes worth of clips and they're all mixed up like that so instead of doing that I'm sure happy that we color coded them at the beginning so let me undo that let me undo that right now I only have the lumetri color on One Clip right so I'm going to copy it and then I'm going to right click and go to label select label group and it selects all of the ones that have lumetri color applied I'm going to go command V but what happened not only did it apply it to all of them it also applied it to the one that already has one right so now it has two lumetri colors so I'll just delete the second one select delete so only one shows up so now that color correction was applied across the board to all of the ones that are blue let's see about these from the top I I like them as well but I could maybe use a little bit more contrast in this shot so I'll again go to Telemetry color you can see right now in the effect controls for this particular clip lumetri color isn't applied but as soon as I make any type of change so let me increase the contrast maybe increase the brightness a little bit you can see it's appeared now right so I can go ahead select it Ctrl copy then go over here to the orange right click label select label group now I can deselect the one that already has lumetri color on it that way I don't have to delete the second lumetri color later by pressing shift and selecting it that deselects it and then command V and now all of them have it now say later maybe I wanted to get rid of the lumetri color on all of them how would I do that would I have to go to each and every single one of them and then delete the lumetri color like this go to that one delete the elementary color or would I have to right click label select label group oh no because I have multiple selected my effect controls window doesn't show them anymore how do I make sure that lumetri color is deleted from all of them well if I right click and go to remove attributes It'll ask me oh okay which attributes would you like to remove so I will make sure that only lumetri color is selected as the attribute that I'd like to remove from all of the clips that have been colored orange and I'll press OK and now they're all back to the way that they were so if I wanted to add a new lumetri color I could do that in that way I don't have to go to each and every one and delete it each and every time but I've liked the way that it was so I'm going to undo that and make sure that they all have lumetri color on them almost done I think this last clip over here goes on for a tad too long so what we're going to do is we're just going to shorten it and we're also going to shorten the audio and to make sure that both the clip and the audio don't just disappear we might ramp both of them down a little bit so I'll go over here into my effect and under audio transitions Crossfade let's grab constant power put it in here so that it ramps Down and Under video transitions we'll go to dissolve and we'll do a cross dissolve we'll put it on here and increase the length a little bit so it looks like this [Music] before we watch the whole thing and then move on to our second video I just wanted to let you know I'm on social media valentina.v on Instagram Valentina V on Twitter so if you're enjoying this I'd love to know that you are so pop on over there and let me know [Music] thank you [Music] thank you we will go to file save make sure you save it and then file close project now let's go to new project again and we are going to find that location where we are putting all of our Premiere projects so we're putting them in the premiere folder and select folder we'll title this one what's in my bag and we're not going to create a new bin we're not going to create a new sequence we're going to do it all from scratch yet again and we're going to click create okay here we are back at the beginning and remember how before when we wanted to create a new bin we went over here to New bin and we typed in 01 footage O2 audio etc etc well instead of doing that let's actually be a little smarter about it because the folders are already arranged right and you know Premiere Pro bins are the same as folders so I'm just going to take the folder called footage shift and select take the photo called audio so both of them and I'm just going to drag them in and guess what they become bins and look in here here are all of the clips now in this folder we still have the light up art clip so let's get rid of those let's sort this by name and all the clips that say Lua we can get rid of them or we could just type Lua into here and it shows us all of the Lua Clips so let's get rid of them because we don't need them we'll select them all and press uh the garbage button okay so now only the what's in my bag clips are left we'll select all of the clips that say a on them and watch out because some of them are also b-roll Clips you see that they're 60 frames per second so we'll only select the ones that are 23.976 frames per second right click let's label them as let's do mango then all of the ones that are b-roll which are 60 frames per second we'll select all of those as well and that we will designate as b-roll so we will label them let's label them teal then we will go to the B Clips uh b-clips we will leave this color and then the c clips we will select them all and we will label them do magenta okay so we have four colors here five if you count the audio you don't always have to create a sequence from scratch in fact you can sometimes create a sequence that is from the actual footage itself meaning you can use a clip to create a sequence that has the same dimensions and frame rate of the clip let's take a look at these clips let's press the tilde key and get some more information about them that's the squiggly line on the top left of your keyboard so let's move the video info column and also the video duration column so that we have frame rate video duration video info now we can see that almost all of them are 4K except for a few of them which are 1080 right which are HD which means that our sequence should really be HD that way we don't lose any data right we don't have a large cam canvas and we're trying to stretch a small clip to fit that large canvas and also we have a bunch of 60 frames per second clips and then a bunch of 24. so we should really be building a sequence that is the size of the B camera clips so what we can actually do I'm going to press TL day again on my keyboard to get out of this window we can drag this clip to the new item icon and when we drag it it creates a new sequence so it creates a sequence and that sequence has our Clip In It Isn't that cool so the only problem is right now it's in the footage bin right so let's create another bin and we'll call it O3 sequences and you can see the sequence actually has the little logo of sequence on it you can take that sequence and we will place it into the sequences bin just drag it in there yeah so now there's a sequence and it's called Wim B 0 1 we can rename it by going right click rename or just simply clicking on it twice and I'll call this o one string out because we love a good string out okay so here we have the first clip for B camera but we need all three cameras right so we're gonna go to let's see we're going to go to a camera and we're gonna grab that put it in and we're gonna go all the way to C camera right we're gonna put that in as well so we have C A and B and our B camera is properly uh the right size but our C camera and our a camera are not so what we're gonna do select everything uh shift command f for set to frame size and now everything is properly aligned but not only are they not synced up to each other they're also not synced up to the audio because when we go out here grab the audio as well it's just they're they're all mishmashed right and how can I tell well I could just simply look at the waveform when you're looking at the waveform of something you can see where it doesn't quite line up for example can just make all the waveforms a little bit thicker here so that we can see them you see this little dip right here well this little dip happens here here and here right you can use these little moments to kind of see that this clip is not lined up so I'm going to use the right and left arrow keys to see the exact moment that the Slate hits so that's on the this magenta clip that's at the top right so the Slate hit but you can also see it in the waveform you can see that little Spike that happened that's the Slate hit right so you can check for the spikes in the other waveforms and you can line it up just visually like that now you don't have to have a fancy slate every time you could just clap your hands and it does the same thing it takes a long time right so let's try to do that again let's grab B2 over here and let's grab an A2 stack that on top of it let's grab a C2 and let's grab the audio so an easy way to just make sure that everything is perfectly aligned is Select everything right click and click synchronize then make sure that your synchronized point is audio it's going to analyze that audio waveform and it's going to sync everything up for you so that you don't have to do it manually which is pretty wild if I do say so myself this is the Slate clap and you can see it happen on each one of these layers another way to audio sync is by using the multicam workflow and this is the one that adobe recommends it's really really helpful to name your Clips so my Clips luckily are named right we have A1 and then we have C1 and then we have B1 and then we have the audio so because everything's named I know that they belong together another way to know that they belong together is to check the duration so I'm pressing command and I'm selecting all of them but mostly because I want you to take a look at the duration here at 653 628 653 this essentially tells you that they're meant to be together right because the next one's 644 640 645 the next one is eight something eight something eight something and then two something to something to something so even if they weren't named properly I could still find them and know that they belong together so now that I've selected the three different cameras and the audio by holding down command I can right click and go to create multi-camera Source sequence and this is essentially the same thing as the synchronize I'm going to give it a custom name so I'm going to call it take one and audio is going to be how I synchronize and then I'm I'm going to enumerate cameras meaning each camera is going to be a one two or three on the keyboard and then I'm going to press OK it creates this really cool thing called a multi-camera source sequence and you can see it appear right here its logo is a little bit different than the sequence logo it's like synced right this one's out of sync so let's take a look at what a multi-camera source sequence is if I double click it it's blank nothing appears but as I move you can start seeing all three cameras all at once and I can actually move in between cameras okay so I went ahead and did that to all of the takes you can see here in take one we have the three cameras take two we have all three cameras of course this one's smaller because this one's recorded in 1080 and these two were recorded in 4k then we have take three and then we have take four so say I wanted to place them on the timeline well I can just drag the multi-camera source sequence onto my timeline here and it looks like this because it's a multi-camera source sequence and I can actually switch between cameras by pressing one two or three on my keyboard right now I'm pressing one two and three and it's switching it's also nested so I can go inside of this sequence and see the actual Clips so if I hold down alt and just select the audio and I double click here's what that inside looks like and I can go ahead and these big ones I can change their size so I can say 50 and clip a is also 50. so now all three of these or at 50 let's actually make this one a little bit larger maybe like 60 percent there we go and if I go back here that's been adjusted so one two three one two three one of the best things about working with the multi-camera source sequence is that you can actually insert Cuts as you are playing through as long as you have it enabled so right now that button isn't here so I'm going to add the button by going to the button editor so I go here plus and I add the button that's called multi-camera record on off and let's actually add toggle multicam view as well and I'll press ok so if I go to multicam view all of a sudden I can actually see all three cameras at the same time and I can see the one that I'm on one two three and if I press this multi-camera record toggle on off and I start playing it as I'm pressing one two three those cuts will just appear Let's uh so as we open this up you'll see some other Essentials that I grab all the time first so we have a pair of scissors it's super handy for multitude of and check it out as I was viewing it those cuts were coming through there all those cuts are if I want to change any of them I can just select it and like press three for example and that goes to three press two for example and that goes to two if I want to change where the cut is I can use the rolling edit tool by going to n that's n on my keyboard and just rolling that edit left or right to change where it is on my timeline and then later if I want to not be looking at the multi-cam view the whole time I can just select it right click go to multi-camera and go to flatten and then it breaks it up into all of my original Clips but personally I love to see my Clips laid out like this so remember before when I dragged it in and it was like this like one nested clip well instead of doing that I'm going to deselect this button right here which stands for insert and overwrite sequences as nests or individual Clips it's a mouthful but basically I'm going to deselect it and now when I drag in take one take two or I could do multiple takes at the same time it all drags in as a beautiful rainbow and that's what I'm going to work on so I'm going to select all this I'm going to delete it and I'm simply going to work on these takes right now so you might be wondering why are there so many audio tracks and why did you record audio separately a lot of time when you record audio on your camera like I'm recording right now it sounds horrible right it's called scratch audio we only use it as a reference in order to have a synchronization point and we get a better recorder or a better microphone closer to us so that that audio can sound a lot better and a lot crisper I'm going to mute these tracks you never know I might need them I don't want to delete them right away and I'm going to start cutting now um before remember that shortcut the command K that slices through well it doesn't just slice through one layer it could slice through multiple layers but see what happens if I try so I'm going to put my playhead over here and I'm going to try to do command K it's sliced through the orange one but it did not slice through the blue or the magenta one and it also didn't slice through this audio why well because track targeting isn't turned on track targeting means those are the tracks that are active and available to take shortcuts so I'm going to make sure that track targeting is on for everything and now when I do command k am it works across the board I'm going to delete this Ripple delete and keep playing hey my name is Valentina V and I am a cinematographer and director based in Los Angeles listening through to this whole thing it's going to take forever right this video is right now 24 minutes long that takes too long so something that I like to do is do J K and L so J K and L will actually rewind pause and fast forward your video If you press J twice it'll rewind faster if you press L twice it'll fast forward faster so let me use JK and L to get through this a little bit faster and it's also not my crates of group equipments that has stuff like extensions and um clips and all so close hi my name is so I'm gonna do Q over there hi my name is cameras lenses batteries but is all the other things that I think a lot of people don't talk about and don't think about that was good now I just did command K but look what happened it only cut the top clip because command K not only only works on the tracks that are track targeted but if you have a clip selected it'll only work on that clip right so if I didn't have that clip selected I did command K it would cut through every single one of these clips but if I did have the top clip selected and I did command K it will only cut through what was selected now two ways to counteract that you can either do shift command K but I don't like doing shift command K because I have one of my hands on the mouse and one on the keyboard and it's just like too far away for my little hand to navigate so instead of what I like to do is over here under sequence I will deselect selection follows playhead which means this this is the playhead that way when the playhead moves the top clip isn't selected if selection follows playhead is enabled that means it will always be selected so I'm going to deselect selection follows playhead and we're going to keep editing command K go forward do a q to cut out that Gap and in fact I see more gaps coming up I can cut them out right away because I'm seeing the dip right that's happening in here in the waveform so I automatically know that that is a gap that I have to cut out so I can do command K move it forward Q cut that Gap out okay so I cut it down to under 20 minutes I know for a fact that it's definitely not going to be longer than five probably at the most ten so there's a lot of fat that I gotta trim but first let's clean some stuff up so let's take all of these multi-camera Source sequences put them into the sequences bin then let's duplicate our current sequence so I'm going to call it first cut and open it up by double clicking so now we're working on that one so we save the string out for later and let's actually generate a transcript and work off of that instead this is a new feature in Premiere Pro it's called text-based editing and it is incredible it is like magic you just go over to window scroll down to text to open the text workspace and in the transcript tab you'll see it says 16 Source Clips have not been transcribed all you got to do is Click transcribe this is going to revolutionize video editing in just a few minutes it's going to take this 20 minute chunk and pop out a transcript it's it's already done it here it is and look how accurate it is boom here it is in all its Glory I decided to take one that has outside Pockets not only is it incredibly accurate but you can also just edit so that entire first sentence I want it to be gone so I highlight it you see it highlights it here on the actual sequence so yeah highlight it and then press delete boom it deletes it I can also see all the pauses as well and I can delete the pauses if any of them seem too long so here for example so as we grab all first so we have a pair of scissors it's super handy for more just delete everything before we have a pair of scissors you can see right here it highlighted that section and I can just cut another feature is that you can edit the video and the transcript updates so here for example let's do command K to insert a cut and I want to get rid of everything from here to that cut so I'll press W and it gets rid of it and look the transcript also updated okay I cut it all up I think the last thing I'm going to do is because I recorded the intro at the end I'm going to take the intro there it is and I'm going to cut it out I'm gonna go to the very beginning here and I'm gonna paste it and then the intro I recorded at the beginning I'm going to just delete it something that happens when you're cutting stuff up like this especially for a long video is that when you are done cutting up your audio you might step on a line ever so slightly maybe like I don't know you're half of a frame off but it sounds bad like in this instance a headlamp having a headlamp headlamp having a headlamp right like you just need a little bit of smoothness there so for that I go into effect and I'll go into audio transitions Crossfade constant power and I'll drop a constant power transition and double click and I'll literally make it just two frames wide like that so it's the tiniest little transition but it really helps listen is a headlamp having a headlamp right it helps transition so I'll go ahead and select it I'll copy it I'll zoom out all the way and then I will hold down command while selecting all of the Transitions and I'll command V so I'll paste that short transition everywhere so that it's it's in there it's everywhere next what I think I'll do is I'll just make sure that everything is aligned with the colors of it and I'll do it in this way instead of hiding and unhiding hiding and unhiding and trying to mess with the colors what I'll do is I'll actually I'll shorten this top clip a little bit so that I have the bottom clip exposed and I will open up lumetri color and I'll go ahead and also open up comparison view over here and what comparison view does is on the right it shows you what clip you have selected which is this blue clip here and on the left it shows you what clip you're trying to match it to so I will actually take uh this timing right here of this clip and I'll put it in here so I can match as close as possible so the first thing I can do is I can try to go to color wheels and match and click apply match and that's going to try to guesstimate the colors in this Frame and apply them to this so we'll see how that does actually that did pretty good it's a lot closer I think but I'll go to basic correction I'll do some more correcting so I will probably make it warmer yes I'll give it a little bit more saturation should I make it cooler maybe I'll make it cooler a little bit more green a little bit more saturation a little bit brighter let's see does that look about right when it goes to my face let's see yeah that looks pretty close I'll say I can go over here to my effect controls I can toggle the lumetri color on and off to kind of see the difference definitely a big difference I would definitely say maybe a little bit more contrast a little bit more brightness and yeah we're living so let's do that all I'm trying to do is match this to this right and let's actually see what this looks like that looks pretty good actually okay cool um except I would want to kind of punch in a little bit so let's punch in like 70 percent and then move it down yeah something that maybe even 80. and then move it down there we go great so basically what I want to do is I want to apply the motion controls of this orange clip to all of the orange clips and I want to apply the lumetri color of this blue clip to all the blue Clips easy to do so again you just go to the blue clip that has it lumetri color command C for copy right click go to label select label group deselect the one that already has it and then paste right now all of them have it same thing for this orange one so we're going to select the motion controls copy right click label select label group and I can deselect it but I also don't have to deselect it because it's not like it'll apply the motion control twice there's only one version of emotion control so I can paste and now if I hide to the top two layers get out of comparison View all of the bottom should be perfect great I also want to maybe help myself a little bit start placing some markers above here to kind of help me determine where to place my b-roll footage so first let's go to the transcript over here in text and I can search for stuff so I will search for a multi-tool I'll just search for the word multi multiply multi-tool so it kind of shows me okay where the word multi-tool is my multi-tool right there so I know that that's me talking about the multi-tool I'll go ahead and press M on my keyboard to create a marker and I'll hold down alt and drag to give it a duration I can even double click it give it a name so I'll call this multi-tool and then later when I'm looking for oh where should I put my b-roll of the multi-tool I'll know exactly where to put it I can just continue that throughout make sure I have selection follows playhead disabled M drag so here I'm talking about my light meter great something to note now that I have all of these markers here like this multi-tool marker it's indicating that this long clip is talking about multi-tools this arms marker is talking about arms in this clip if I want to delete something before the marker so say I want to delete these three Clips so I go ahead and ripple delete them but you see the markers didn't move here I'll do that again I'll Ripple delete the markers stayed there but this is what I'm talking about the multi-tool yet the multi-tool marker still back there so whenever you are working with timeline markers my suggestion is to go up here to markers and make sure that you have Ripple sequence markers selected that way when you are deleting the markers Ripple forward and back I'm going to go ahead and start cutting and inserting edits right where these pauses these natural pauses happen in my speech and for that I really don't have to pay attention at all I can just go to where the pauses are and insert those cuts what I'm trying to do is checkerboard these clips so that I can enable and disable them in a way that makes sense so showing certain Clips while hiding others so for this one for example when I'm rooting around on the inside it's probably best to see from the top but then once I find the thing cut to the front here so I'm gonna go ahead and go through this entire video and checkerboard it to hide and unhide enable and disable certain Clips so that it just looks like the cameras are cutting back and forth with each other one thing that I want to mention when it comes to color correction right now everything is the same pretty much right I match the cameras but say I want to apply a look to every single clip here no matter if it's enabled or disabled I want to apply an additional sort of effect or color what can I do well the first thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to create a new bin for graphics so I'm going to say o4 Graphics because I'm nothing if not organized and new adjustment layer in the graphics bin I'm going to make the adjustment layer the same size and time base as my sequence and I'm just going to drag that adjustment layer on top of everything what's cool with an adjustment layer is whatever effects you put on the adjustment layer they apply to everything underneath that layer so for example if I wanted to pull up lumetri color and say I really want to desaturate this whole thing for some reason I want to desaturate it but actually let's just go to Curves and let's just say I want to desaturate everything except for the orange and red tones so I want everything but orange and red desaturated there we go it doesn't matter if the clip is on layer one two or three that color correction will be applied throughout this works for a lot of effects as well so if you go and poke around over here under effect you'll see video effects there's all sorts distortions and perspective and stylize so you can do a lot like Mosaic for example right whatever you can multiply the number of blocks that you have here and now everything underneath it is going to be that or you can cut this to size and then delete the rest and then only the stuff underneath this adjustment layer will have those effects right nothing else now that we have everything laid out let's actually start putting our b-roll in there in a similar way to how we did it before with a little bit of a Twist so let's go back to our project over here in footage and remember we colored all of our b-roll this green color so let's do the same thing as we did before because right now if I pull it up let's let's pull up one of these b-roll clips see how it plays through kind of jittery because even though it's recorded at 60 frames per second it still plays back in real time so I'm going to select all of these clips right click go to modify interpret footage assume frame rate 23.976 and now all of these b-roll clips will be in slow motion so we're actually going to make a string out of just the b-roll so we'll go to sequences do new sequence we'll go with whatever the first preset is and we'll call it 03 b roll string out so it's just the b-roll here we'll go into the footage folder we'll pull it up as icons and we will just hold our fingers on i o and comma right and we'll just start building this sequence very very very quickly I O comma i o comma so essentially what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to build a string out that is just b-roll Clips right but not only the b-roll clips only the best portions of each b-roll clip because there's so much you know reframing that's going on making sure things are in Focus I only want the best bits if you're someone who's afraid of taking on a video project because there's just so much footage and you don't know how you're ever going to be able to get through it all I recommend doing a b-roll string up first because it's like the easiest thing to do so now that you've got your b-roll string out so this is all your best b-roll and actually I'm going to get rid of the the audio that accompanies the b-roll because it's just kind of slow humming like right so I'm just gonna uh select alt or option select everything delete that and then select everything here go to set to frame size make sure everything's the right size and I'm gonna pancake these sequences so I'm gonna put the b-roll string out on top the first cut on the bottom there we go so now all I have to do is drag the relevant b-roll clip I should say the relevant portion of the b-roll clip into the relevance section on our timeline and guess what all the sections are already labeled for us with these markers so I don't even have to listen to anything I can just go I can see this is c47 so I'm going to go to the thumbnail where I'm showing a c47 and drag that in there we go so let's find where we got the b-roll of the cables it was right here the laser we'll grab one of these put that in and one of the readings we'll put that in actually I'll put them over here to sort of smooth over that transition okay that's all the b-roll done by pancaking the sequences together so thus far what we have here is we have the three cameras and then on V4 we have our b-roll but let's get into some graphics and no I'm not just talking about simple text like we did in the previous video I'm talking about Motion Graphics what Premiere Pro calls mogurts and they are found in the essential Graphics menu so you go to window essential graphics and whereas before we were in the edit tab now we're in the browse tab which really opens up a lot of possibilities so by default you have my templates which is the templates that are on your computer or that you used but you can also go to the Adobe stock store to find other templates that you might want to use so that's where we're gonna go because for every one of these tools we want to have what the tool is pop up on screen as a graphic we can make these thumbnails a little bit larger so we can see better and you can see Premiere Pro has 44 pages of free lower thirds here as we go side to side we can see a little preview of what the graphic is so we're hover scrubbing through the graphics and honestly this one looks pretty great the glowing gradient see if we can find some other cool ones I'm actually choosing this one called clean and bold aesthetic glitch title so let me bring it in onto V5 over here and it lasts a little too long so I'm gonna shorten it up also I'm going to go over here to background controls and turn down the opacity and the overlay so it's just the word I can change the word so I'm gonna go scissors um I like this font do I want to change the font um Franklin Gothic now let's make it something funkier chunk five that sounds like a fun font a little bit smaller cool uh let's make the text color the same color as yeah as my sweater here let's grab the hex value and we'll make the line color the same color and let's move the line up let's move everything the whole thing off and down something like that okay that's looking pretty good to me maybe maybe just a tad lighter oh no I like it when the text is lighter than the line that's looking pretty good so I set my in and out points here on the sequence I'm going to go to sequence render into out and let's play it through let's go first we have a pair of scissors this is great for opening boxes and I'm just going to keep going duplicating it so as I drag I hold down alt and that duplicates it and then changing what's written on the duplicate thank you so now that we have all of our titles done we can also generate subtitles based on the transcript that we did before so that is just super cool so here's the transcript it's in the text window and if you lost it you can find the text window under window make sure text is selected and you have your transcript and all you have to do is create captions from the transcript so you can either go here to the three dot menu click create captions or go over to the captions Tab and select create captions from transcript and it's going to ask you a bunch of your preferences so I'm going to go to subtitle default format subtitle style right now none maximum length in characters I'm Gonna Keep it pretty short I'm gonna make sure that the lines are single there's no double lines there's no gaps between frames and the minimum duration in seconds oh gosh no it should be low so because I talk fast so 1.2 I feel like maybe maybe 1.5 and I'm going to click create captions in no time at all it has created captions and you can see them down here it's also added them to a separate track called the subtitle track so all the subtitles are up here let's see how accurate they are hi my name is Valentina V and I am a cinematographer and director based in Los Angeles in front of me you have the contents of my diddy bag looks pretty impressive it looks excellent now they are sort of pretty close to the the titles here you can see uh I kind of wish that I moved these titles a little bit higher up but guess what I can do that now so I'm just going to select the first title and move it up here under effect controls in the position I'm just gonna move it up slightly there we go so the titles have some room I'm going to select motion command copy command C right then I'm going to select all of these titles and command V and now they're all going to be just slightly higher and if I want to adjust the subtitles I can do that too so by default they are this font but say I want them to be my brand font I can go ahead and find my brand font um maybe add a little bit more spacing to them so they're more legible now you can always add a shadow you can even add a background maybe I'll add a background just a slight black background um a little bit of padding here yeah just like that but you can see I've added it to this one subtitle but nothing else I haven't added them to any other subtitles so the other subtitles are still the same as they were I can fix that all I have to do is over in track style I just have to press this button that pushes that track style to everything on the track so to all the captions on the track and I press ok now they are all the same Style say I maybe don't like this background anymore no problem let me turn the background off let me add that shadow back in maybe diffuse the shadow a little bit so it's not as distracting cool and let me push it up to the track style once again all captions on track and now all of them have gotten rid of the box and instead there is that drop shadow you are doing so well we are almost to the end but before we export this video we're gonna need to add some music and tweak the audio sweeten the audio a little bit so we'll go to window essential sound just like we did before we'll go to browse and we'll find a song that fits so for this one I'm thinking something that is definitely happy and inspiring and powerful then for genres let's actually go with RnB and Hip Hop and we'll put our playhead at the beginning let's see what works hi my name is Valentin Navi and I am a cinematologist not bad hi my name is Valentina V and I am everything with you you ready let's go hi my name is Valentin vacuum zombie I like it let's bring it over that's definitely gonna be one of our songs and it's probably gonna be too loud yeah we'll fix that though expose things properly [Music] let's go with freestyle we had a teleprompter ready to go and drop that in as well now for both of these tracks I'm gonna buy them so I have to let's see revealing project I'm gonna purchase that one confirm this one as well purchase confirm I pay for my music okay I have a license don't come don't come for me and now I'm going to use the remix tool over here to make sure that they are an appropriate length let's see let's have one end around there and another one and around there hopefully as one sort of Fades out the other one can start all right now that I have my two music tracks laid out here on A5 and A6 I'm going to sweeten everything up a little bit because right now they're a little loud both of them so I'm going to select all of the talking which is here and I'm going to tag it as dialog here in the essential sound panel in the edit tab so tagging it as dialogue so now the program knows that this is dialogue and I'm going to repair it a little bit there's a little bit of Reverb in the room so I'm going to select reduce Reverb and I'm going to add a little bit of volume to it as well there are so many great built-in tools in the essential sound panel like the noise reducer Rumble reducer D hum d s which is those S sounds you can do a lot here so definitely encourage you to poke around as for the music when I select it I don't have to designate it as music because I got it from Adobe stock so it already knows that it's music but something that I can do is enable ducking so if I enable ducking it essentially the volume of the music is going to get lower whenever I'm talking and higher whenever I'm not talking so for example this moment where I am blinking the flashlight at myself I am not talking so the music should get a little bit louder when that is happening so I'm going to select both of these enable ducking and then play with the ducking controls so I'll make it pretty sensitive but I won't duck it too much I'll make the fade duration pretty fast because it only happens for a short amount of time and I'm going to generate the keyframes and you can see on this volume line stuff will start to appear so you can see these keyframes that are making the volume go up and down let's actually duck a little bit more each time so and give a little bit more of a fade so generate the keyframes and you can see that the slope is going to go a little bit higher and you know what I'm going to make it less sensitive I think it's it's now ducking on every breath so I want it to be less sensitive generate those keyframes so this is really helpful when you have a video where there's a good combination of talking and showing I'm also going to lower the level of the volume of the whole thing so it doesn't overtake the talking Okay let's listen to that little cell phone holder you might think you're a cinematographer why do you need a cell phone holder it actually helps me out literally two days ago when turn everything down a little bit and let's make the duck amount less now before I go ahead and Export this I want to make sure that everything is rendered because then my export is going to take less time so you can see more than half of it is rendered it's all green and then a lot of it is not rendered so I'm just going to go to sequence render into out and render the rest of it all right we have the edit done we have the graphics we have the captions we have the music it time to exports so instead of import and edit you are going to the export Tab and exporting is so easy I'm going to tell you the first thing you do is you find a name for your export so for me what I like to do is I like to do the dates so 2023 06 31 underscore and then I will write what this is so what's in my bag underscore zero one that is my naming convention at all times the location is going to be the exports folder that I previously made save and then the easiest thing of all just go match source adaptive high bitrate that's literally all you have to do especially if you're just putting it on YouTube don't worry about anything else format h.264 is going to play pretty much everywhere doesn't matter Mac PC phone internet and yeah there you go this is gonna be quite a hefty file when it finishes so if you want it to be a little bit less intense I recommend going over here to more and changing the target bit rate so right now it's 15 if you want it to be a little bit less intense maybe change it to 10 and you can see it has changed the file size over here under captions you just want to make sure to burn captions into video and over here in range you can select the entire Source or you can select source and out what source in out is is if you need to only export a portion of your video you just select I and O and then when you go to export you can select Source in out and it's only going to export that little bit of it but for us we're doing the entire source and then you click export you can also click Send to Media encoder and that sends it to another program that can run a queue of videos which is very helpful if you're trying to export multiple videos at the same time okay so when it finishes you should get a video exported successfully notification and you can go ahead and check that exports folder there it is double click it should open up and I am a cinematographer and director based in Los Angeles now if you thought I forgot about our first video I did not let's go ahead and Export that as well so I'm gonna go file open recent and it was called light up art so I'm gonna go ahead and open that up and I think this was our latest it was the one with music that's right so same thing we can go to the export workspace and same thing I'm going to call it 202306 31 underscore light up art underscore oh one everything looks good I'm going to export this should go a lot faster because the actual video was only one minute long now let's say that I wanted to make this video as a vertical video as well it's pretty easy so right click reveal sequence and project there's the sequence I'm going to duplicate it I'm going to rename this vertical okay open up the vert vertical version it's still horizontal don't worry I'm gonna go into sequence sequence settings and instead of 1920 by 1080 I'm going to make it 1080 by 1920. all right everything looks good gonna press OK and here we go it's not framed perfectly but I can go ahead and reframe it starting with this end bit here zooming in moving it around making sure resizing all that yes it does take some time but you get it you can resize it you can reframe it let's try to do the same thing here except oh my God it's going to take forever this is an almost 10 minute video so if we want to make this let's say a square it's going to take us forever or is it same thing right click reveal sequence and project you notice we actually have two projects open right now which is really fun right click and instead of doing duplicate I'm actually going to go to auto reframe sequence and give it a name so first cut Square Target aspect ratio square one by one and then motion tracking this just helps the AI a little bit figure out if you have slow motion or if you have fast motion so I'm going to say slow motion because we have almost no Motion in this and don't Nest Clips create so this is going to create that square sequence for you it's going to reframe everything so that your face or whatever the action is in the scene is right in the middle so you can see that it did really well on reframing the things that needed to be reframed from the B camera angle but from the front camera angle sometimes it didn't quite get it right and that's okay sometimes it doesn't so if you want to not use the way that auto reframe does things you can just disable auto reframe here right so now your normal motion controls are but instead of going to every single one of these purple clips and disabling auto reframe I'm gonna do the thing I've been doing this whole time so I'm gonna right click label select label group right click remove attributes and choose Auto reframe as the thing that I'm removing from all of the c clips that way all the ones from the front are just centered and all the ones from the side are the ones that have been reframed as well as the b-roll footage you can see here if I turn off auto reframe it actually moves it to the side so that actually did a really solid reframe job here as well it also reframed all the subtitles made them work in the Square environment which is really good so they're not running off of the page or off of the canvas the only thing these titles may need a little work so I'm going to resize and reframe one of them gonna make it look like this that's good gonna select motion and I'm going to command copy select all of them command paste and now the motion should be the same throughout and everything should be in its place same thing here I'm going to go to the export tab make sure that I have the right name so this is going to be uh what's in my bag 01 I'm going to go underscore Square save and you can see here it's the same match Source adaptive high bitrate makes it nice and square high quality go ahead and press export and you're done thank you so much for hanging out with me I know this was long but you did it and hopefully you are much better at Premiere Pro than when you started if you would like to express any type of gratitude to me then you can leave it in the comments or you can follow me on social media I would love to see you over there and good luck with your video editing journey I wish you the very best if you want any of these assets or the workbook once again that information is in the description go ahead and download it and then you can watch this video again I guess and play along with me till next time happy editing bye hi my name is Valentin Navi and I am a cinematographer and director based in Los Angeles in front of me you have the contents of my ditty bag these are all of the little things that I bring to set with me that help me throughout the day all of the little extras that I always wish were there so I'm gonna go over everything with you you ready let's go first we have a pair of scissors this is great for opening boxes great for cutting up gel rolls and also every single Department always asks you for scissors even the Wardrobe department wants to cut a tag off you always have those handy I have a few a-clips this is for clipping stuff like gels and other materials always good to have in my daddy as well as a couple of clothes pins now we call these c47s and again I have a lot of these but it helps to have them with me I have some batteries some double a batteries and the most important thing is my multi-tool my favorite tool in this multi-tool is actually not this one you might think it is but I actually use the nail file more than anything the nail file kind of looks like a flat head screwdriver and it helps me get my camera plates on so I use that extensively I have a few silver markers the silver markers really help if I'm marking on black equipment like if I've forgotten to label something with my name I'll just write my name on there a pen and a dry erase marker for things like slates in case the first AC did not bring one or if the first AC's marker has dry I only have two types of items in here in the front I have my cables now these aren't all the cables but they are the most important ones stuff like HDMI cables a lightning cable for my phone on the front here I have all sorts of different arms to mount things to my camera like for example Wireless transmitters or monitors and I will say I'm a little bit of a hoarder different situations require different arms okay that's why I have so many it's not like I have a problem or anything it's not like they're super heavy and I have to carry them to set every single time but hey you'll never be without a mounting arm if I'm around here's the next little packing Cube I usually use these for really small items that can get lost in the main bag so for example I have a bunch of uh plugs here so this is a cube tap this is to turn one plug into three here I have uh something for three different USBS to go into and then this is a two prong to three prong converter so of course other departments will have these but I like having these as well I also have a little bit of a voltage Outlet tester so you can plug this into any outlet and it'll tell you uh whether the outlet is working or not very good before you start plugging things in one of the main cables I have here is a little triple cable so it has a USB on one side and then it has lightning micro USB and USBC on the other side so you can charge whatever you want to charge another little thing I have here is an adapter for photo lenses to become Cinema lenses it has these gears on the side which help if you need to attach a follow Focus to the side of the lens I have an extra camera plate can never have too many of those sometimes you lose one sometimes you brought your tripod to set but your camera plate is attached to the camera that's at home so having one on standby is always useful I used to bring measuring tapes to set and I got a couple of pretty deep cuts on my fingers so now I use a laser measure and this is really helpful because you can either measure from the front right here where the laser comes out or from the back of the laser measure so if you want to measure from wall to wall you can actually set it so that it measures from the back it also has bubble levels on both sides so it's a two in one tool you can use it as both a bubble level and a measure something that you can't do with a regular measuring tape I have a little case of extra screws for camera plates and such of all different sizes three quarters quarter twenties these are incredibly helpful because they're really small so you can lose them really easily having extras is very handy I also have a cold shoe extension so this can turn one cold shoe into three cold shoes so in case you need to mount something that has cold shoe mounts you can multiply the amount of mounts on your camera and surprisingly this has also helped me out a bunch I have a little cell phone holder you might think you're a cinematographer why do you need a cell phone holder it actually helped me out literally two days ago when someone who needed to do a teleprompter script on camera um didn't have a teleprompter so I busted out my phone I put this on top of my camera and we had a teleprompter ready to go lastly I actually have a few gifts that I like to give to some crew members at the end of the day maybe they went the extra mile maybe they were a PA who was really on top of things so I have a little slate pin how cute is that and it actually works so I give these away and also sometimes people keep trying to take my multi-tool from me so I will give them a multi-tool so this is something that is also on my phone keys but it's a little uh snowflake multi-tool it has a Phillips it has a flathead it has a bunch of hex keys in here and this is a really really good gift next I have my light meter this is a must for every cinematographer's toolkit it shows you how much light is being cast upon any object in your scene and it'll help you expose things properly my favorite tool it also um honestly it makes you look really cool you just like going around doing this you see people when they're when they're doing this all the time they're like trying to hide the ball it's because the ball is actually omnidirectional so when you pop it out like this then every light hitting it is being registered so like this light above me is being registered the lights behind me that one but then when you close it up and you angle it then it's taking a read directly from that light but you can actually hide it some more like this also you notice I label everything with my name is people on set they like to take stuff that's not theirs next I have a tiny uh what we call an on-camera light but it can be used for anything it can be used to light up your space wherever your camera bag is so that you have a little bit more light there it can be used off the side as an eye light for your characters in case they don't have an eye light to make their eyes sparkle it can be used if you are walking around with your camera and you just want a little bit of extra light on the front so you just turn it on like this and this one happens to be rgbww so it has all sorts of modes you can turn it to whatever color you want whatever saturation let's make it less saturated more saturated and of course intensity is at 100 right now so let's take it down to zero and all the way up these days a lot of lighting is LED lighting so you can touch it it's cool to the touch but you never know sometimes you might show up to set and they may be using some hot lights so I like to have a pair of gloves in my bag at all times these gloves right now are attached to a little belt clip so when I'm not using them I can clip them to my belt and they can just hang out with me two types of flashlights one that you can hold in your hand look around and then another type of light that I have is a headlamp having a headlamp just opens up your hands so that you can look through your stuff you can do whatever you need to do without having to hold a flashlight a few more things left here on the inside first thing a pair of headphones you never know lastly I have two full sets of hex Keys also known as Allen wrenches I have a full set of metric and Imperial they're slightly different um and they just help with anything like your tripod is wonky you need a allen wrench your camber plate is on wrong you need an allen wrench your camera cage needs help allen wrench so uh absolute must alright that's it I hope this was informative if you have any other questions please do let me know in the comments I would love to answer them also if you want to see anything else that I bring with me or you want me to elaborate let me know until next time happy shooting thank you
