Post-production (video-editing)
Post-production (video-editing)
Postproduction is the process of EDITING your video footage. We use Adobe Premiere Elements, but there are dozens of other digital editing software applications such as:
BASIC EDITORS (free) - Windows MovieMaker, Apple iMovie, VirtualDub
CONSUMER EDITORS - Sony Vegas, Pinnacle Studios, Premiere Elements, DaVinci Resolve, Hit Film Express
ADVANCED EDITORS (costly) - Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro
The goals of "Post-Production" editing are typically to:
TRIM raw footage to the essential content
ARRANGE the order of footage
Add APPROPRIATE* and TASTEFUL
TITLES
CAPTIONS
TRANSITIONS
GRAPHICS
SOUND EFFECTS
MUSIC
Adjust
SOUND LEVELS
IMAGE QUALITY
*Appropriate means that the editing "enhances" the content; it gives content a professional appearance and makes it more effective
Inappropriate editing (ie excessive, random transitions, poorly designed titles, sound effects or music) can rob your production of integrity, and make it appear "amateurish".

Setup and pane introduction
Setup and pane introduction
1) First off, choose VIDEO EDITOR, then NEW PROJECT
2) Next CLICK ON EXPERT MODE
3) IMMEDIATELY click on FILE>Save As> and choose a location ON THE D DRIVE in a subfolder you make with the assignment name on it. If you don't do this now, Premiere will keep saving it temporarily to your server account and you will find the connection laggy and likely will crash Premiere. At bare minimum it will lag horribly all the time.
4) Next we want to add media (video/audio clips, or graphics) to our project. MAKE SURE THE FOOTAGE IS IN THE SAME FOLDER AS YOUR PROJECT ON THE D DRIVE. We do so by clicking on Add Media. Notice our choices now. For the most part we'll be grabbing these assets from our hard drive so click on Files and Folders and navigate to the clip(s) we want to bring in.
5) The Main Screen for Premiere has three main areas -
PREVIEW lets you see a ROUGH draft of your movie - it's clarity and quality depend on how fast your computer is
Adjustments/Effects - where you can see all relevant information pertaining to the asset currently highlighted, be it position, size, opacity, any effects added etc... It's also where you'll see keyframing adjustments which are talked about in grades 11/12
TIMELINE is where you will assemble and compose your video clips, sound effects and graphics
ACTION BAR is where you can access the
Tools
Transitions
Titles&Text effects
Audio&Video Effects
Music and music enhancements
Graphics
6) Additionally, on the TIMELINE you'll have the "handle" to move around where you are in time. It's called a Current Time Indicator (CTI).
7) On the right side of the TIMELINE is an area which has the
Render button - which applies all effects to a clip and outputs it to a temporary file and in RAM to make playback smoother. This can cause Premiere to crash if you're working with large clips and/or many different smaller 1080p clips and/or many different CPU intensive effects. ('enter' on your keyboard)
Fit to timeline - takes all your clips and makes the timeline view zoom out to the point where everything visually fits on your monitor view. ('\' on your keyboard)
Zoom out - zooms out of your clip view ('-' on your keyboard)
Zoom in - zooms in on your clip view ('=' on your keyboard)

1) Create a new project. This should be done IN A BRAND NEW FOLDER.
2) Point the file to the folder location of your choosing. DO NOT TAKE THE DEFAULT. It points to the server and the Premiere will likely crash often or lag badly if you keep it on the server.
3) Next we want to add media (video/audio clips, or graphics) to our project. MAKE SURE THE FOOTAGE IS IN THE SAME FOLDER AS YOUR PROJECT ON THE D DRIVE. We do so by clicking on Add Media. Notice our choices now. For the most part we'll be grabbing these assets from our hard drive so click on Files and Folders and navigate to the clip(s) we want to bring in.

There are several important shortcuts to note:
Fit to timeline - takes all your clips and makes the timeline view zoom out to the point where everything visually fits on your monitor view. '\' on your keyboard
Zoom out - zooms out of your clip view: '-' on your keyboard
Zoom in - zooms in on your clip view: '=' on your keyboard
