Introduction into editing

Today I was introduced to an editing software called Adobe Premiere Pro CC, a software that is used by professional editors in the film industry. I had used this program to edit the preliminary task, the whole layout of it becomes fairly basic and simple to use the more you use it and explore it in general. There is a large variety of things that you could do with this software, you could edit audio, add effects, cut snippets and lots more. 

Here is the overall layout of it:

There are different functions that Adobe Premiere Pro can do, for example, you would start off with uploading the material onto your computer and syncing it to Adobe. Then, you would go through the material and make a folder on the top left of the screen, called 'rushes'. This makes it easier for you to identify the snippets or cuts that you want to use, whereas, there was another folder called 'bin' that had all of the clips in. So, every clip that you would find, you would just drag it into the rushes folder. Afterwards, you would drag the clips that you are intending to use into the 'Timeline Panel', if it makes it easier for you, you could use different tabs to divide your story into different sections and then you could merge them altogether. When you are editing you will probably be using the plus and minus buttons a lot in order to zoom in or out of the sequence. You would use this in order to cut clips accurately and it would help focus on the different clips being used. 

You could also adjust audio files and add effects to the clips. There are two different types of tracks, there is standard tracks which means that you can use different types of audio tracks on the same audio track. Whereas, there are also adaptive tracks that could be something like multichannel mono audio tracks. 

Below is a website that has keyboard shortcuts that have helped my prelim group and I explore the program.
