Introduction
In this first episode, we'll learn how to create a project and get familiar with each panel of Premiere Pro, from the project panel, source and program monitors, all the way to the timeline with its video and audio tracks, using real footage. Let's get started. Hello, welcome to the complete Adobe Premiere Pro series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. In this series, we'll learn video editing with Premiere Pro from scratch to mastery, and all exercises use real footage. In this first episode, we'll create our first project and get familiar with the Premiere Pro interface, so you'll know the function of each panel before starting to edit.
Step 1: Home Screen and New Project
When Premiere Pro is opened, the home screen appears. Click the new project button. Premiere immediately opens the import screen. In the project name field, type 'Belajar Premiere'. Then check three clips from the dataset folder, beach, cathedral, and cake festival. Leave 'Create new sequence' active, then click create.
Step 2: Menu Bar and Header
The project is open and the three clips are already arranged in the timeline. At the top, there is a menu bar. The file menu is for projects, import, and export. The clip and sequence menus contain editing commands. Below that, there is a header with three modes: import, edit, and export. We are now in the edit mode, where all editing is done.
Step 3: Project Panel
At the bottom left, there is the project panel. All imported media and all sequences are stored here. The list view shows the name, frame rate, and duration. Click the icon view icon to see the thumbnail. Move the mouse over the thumbnail without clicking, and the clip content scrolls. This feature is called hover scrub.
Step 4: Source Monitor and Program Monitor
Double-click the cathedral clip. The clip opens in the source monitor, the top-left panel, to view and select the raw footage. The panel on the side is the program monitor. The program monitor always displays the sequence result at the playhead position, which is the blue line on the timeline. Move the playhead, and the image in the program monitor changes accordingly.
Step 5: Timeline and Tools Panel
The large panel below is the timeline. Video tracks V1, V2, and V3 are arranged upwards, and audio tracks A1, A2, and A3 are arranged downwards. Video clips are in purple, and the audio is directly below it. To the left of the timeline is the tool panel, including the selection tool, track select, ripple edit, razor, slip, pen, hand, and type tool. On the right side are groups of panels: effects, essential graphics, lumetri color, essential sound, and text.
Step 6: Effects Panel and Audio Meter
We will use all of them in the next episode. The narrow column next to the timeline is the audio meter. Press space to play the sequence, and notice the meter moving in sync with the clip's sound. Done.
Done!
We have created a project from the home screen. Introducing the menu bar and header, import, edit, export, project panel, source monitor, program monitor, timeline with video and audio tracks, tool panel, effects panel, and audio meter.
