MakerLodge - Adobe Premiere Pro Jump Start

Quick Steps

Create folder on machine to hold Premiere project file and all media (videos, graphics, etc.)
Open Premiere and start a new project.
Import media files (import raw video first so all other media will automatically have the correct dimensions).
Edit video clips in staging area (set in and out points) and drag to timeline.
Add title slide to timeline.
Add title text to new track on top of title slide. (File > Title > New Title)
Animate title text (Effects > Motion > Position).
Add transitions to title slide, title text, and videos (Effects panel > Video Transitions > Dissolve).
Add rolling end credits (Title > New Title > Default Roll). Be sure to open the Roll/Crawl Options panel and select both *Start Off Screen *and *End Off Screen *options.
Export media (File > Export > Media). Select format H.264 for YouTube or web delivery.

The {~} key toggles the selected panel to full screen.
The {+} and - keys zoom in and out on the timeline.
To remove the audio track from a video, select it on the timeline, right-click, and select the Unlink option. You can then delete the audio track so that you can record a voice over instead.
Rolling edits/delete = does not change the length of the timeline, i.e., clips will override.
Ripple edits/delete = changes the length of the timeline.
Add an audio track by going to Sequence > Add track.
