Learning Premiere Pro

Are there any resources for learning Premiere Pro on the cheap?  I saw the lynda videos and they were too barebones.

I'd recommend Creative Edge over Lynda.
For example, you'd get full access to these:
Premiere Pro CS5 Classroom in a Book
http://www.creativeedge.com/9780321717801
Learn By Video: Premiere Pro CS5
http://www.creativeedge.com/9780132618526/i1
and a whole lot more

  • Plan for editing rig to learn Premiere Pro, AE & Photoshop

    I am building an video editing rig to learn Premiere, After Effects and Photoshop with a view to producing web based corporate videos and some project ideas I’ve had percolating. Original video will be shot DSLR & GoPro. ‘Back in the day’ (think  1” & Betacam SP tape…), I produced broadcast quality corporates,  TVCs and TV programs, but that was before raising kids and a spouses’ career took precedence. Money is tight (divorce & still raising 5 kids), so I plan to build up my editing rig in stages. I’ve built a few low to medium spec gaming rigs, so initially to learn the software, I’ll upgrade one of the gaming rigs to minimum editing spec (Version 1), then upgrade a bit further to a Version 2 rig, and if things pan out as planned (and I can start earning a more little income), I can then justify the investment in a proper workstation based around a 3930K CPU or whatever its equivalent is then.
    Existing mid spec gaming rig:
    CPU - 2500K
    Mobo – ASRock Z77 Extreme 4
    RAM – 2 x 4GB 1600Mhz
    GPU – HD7850
    C: SSD – SanDisk Extreme 120GB - OS & Programs
    D: HDD 1 – 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 - HD103UJ 7200rpm - Users
    E: HDD 2 – 2TB Seagate Barracuda - ST2000DM003 7200rpm - Media
    PSU – HX650W Corsair
    Mid Tower Case with front USB 3.0
    OS Win7HP
    Version 1 Editing Rig basically takes the Gaming Rig, replaces the HD7850 with a GTX 660 to take advantage of CUDA, as OpenCL does not yet seem to offer as much performance advantage as CUDA. I’ll also upgrade the RAM from 2 x 4GB to a 2 x 8GB kit and add 2 x 1TB 7200rpm HDD in Raid 0 and a Cooler Master Hyper 212X to keep things temps down, as I plan to OC the 2500K.
    Version 1 Editing Rig:
    CPU - 2500K
    Mobo – Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
    RAM – 2 x 8GB 1600Mhz (G.Skill Ares F3-1600C10D-16GAO)
    GPU – GTX 660 (Gigabyte GV-N660OC-2GD)
    C: SSD – SanDisk Extreme 120GB - OS, Programs, Pagefile
    D: HDD 1 – 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 - HD103UJ 7200rpm – Media, Projects
    E: HDD 2 – 2 x 1TB Seagate – ST1000DM003 7200rpm - RAID 0 – Previews, Media Cache
    F: HDD 3 - 2TB Seagate Barracuda - ST2000DM001 7200rpm – Export, Backup of raid
    PSU – HX650W Corsair
    Case: Mid Tower with front USB 3.0
    OS - Win7HP
    Version 2 Editing Rig adds a 3770K CPU, Windows 7 Pro and another 2 X 8GB RAM to total 32GB. Around this time I also plan to add a 27” WQHD IPS monitor.
    Version 2 Editing Rig:
    CPU - 3770K
    Mobo - ASRock Z77 Extreme 4
    RAM – 32GB - 4 x 8GB 1600Mhz (G.Skill Ares F3-1600C10D-16GAO)
    GPU – GTX 660 (Gigabyte GV-N660OC-2GD)
    C: SSD – SanDisk Extreme 120GB - OS, Programs, Page File
    D: HDD 1 – 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 - HD103UJ 7200rpm – Media, Projects
    E: HDD 2 – 2 x 1TB Seagate Barracuda – ST1000DM003 7200rpm - RAID 0 – Previews, Media Cache
    F: HDD 3 - 2TB Seagate Barracuda - ST2000DM001 7200rpm – Export, Backup of Raid
    PSU – HX650W Corsair
    Case: Mid Tower with front USB 3.0
    OS - Win7Pro
    I’m still a bit confused about hard drives…
    The motherboard has 4 x SATA3 ports – 2 on the main chipset, 2 on ASMedia ASM1061. My connection plan is  C: SSD (OS, Program) and E: HDD 1 (Media, Projects) on main chipset SATA3 ports and E: HDD 2 RAID 0 (2 x 1TB Previews, Cache) on the 2 ASMedia SATA3 ports. Volume F:  HDD 3 (2TB Export, Backup of Raid) would be connected via SATA2.
    Currently here in Australia the prices for Seagate 7200rpm ‘Barracuda’ drives are approx.:
    1TB $70 
    2TB $100 - $50/TB
    3TB $140 - $45/TB
    For $140 extra I could swap the 2 X 1TB drives for 2 x 3TB drives, drop the 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 and have:
    C: SSD – 120GB - OS, Programs, Page file
    D: HDD 1 - 2 x 3TB Raid O – Media, Projects, Previews & Media Cache on the SATA3 ASMedia Chipset
    F: HDD 2 – 2TB – Exports, Backup of Raid on main SATA3 chipset 
    I’m not sure which HDD setup would give a more responsive system and whether it’s worth the extra cost, given my current restricted budget... Currently I’m leaning towards just setting up what I have and revisiting it when I upgrade to the Version 2 3770K based rig.
    Thanks in advance to the Adobe Forum Community and Harm & Bill @ ppbm7.com for helping me get this far.
    Any feedback on any aspect of my plan is much appreciated!

    Managed to scrape together a  few more $$, upgraded PSU, RAM & HDD.
    Current spec is:
    CPU - 3770K
    Mobo - ASRock Z77 Extreme 4
    RAM – 32GB - 4 x 8GB 1600Mhz (G.Skill Ares F3-1600C10D-16GAO)
    GPU – GTX 660 (Gigabyte GV-N660OC-2GD)
    C: SSD – SanDisk Extreme 120GB - OS, Programs, Page File
    D: HDD 1 – 3TB Seagate Barracuda - ST3000DM001 7200rpm – Media, Projects
    E: HDD 2 – 2 x 1TB Seagate Barracuda – ST1000DM003 7200rpm - RAID 0 – Previews, Media Cache
    F: HDD 3 - 3TB Seagate Barracuda - ST3000DM001 7200rpm – Export, Backup of Raid
    PSU – 850W Silverstone ST85F-P Strider Plu, 80Plus Silver Cert.
    Case: Mid Tower with front USB 3.0
    OS - Win7Pro
    I still have a question about Disk Setup…
    My plan was:
    1 x 3TB - Media, Projects – Sata3 (Intel chipset)
    2 x 1TB - Raid 0 - Previews, Media Cache - Sata2 (Intel chipset)
    1 X 3TB - Exports and Backup – Sata2 (Intel chipset)
    I just read Harm's clarification on the http://ppbm7.com Tweakers page that the drive setup should be 2 x Raid 0, which I had previously read as 2 drives in Raid 0 but now think should be two volumes, 4 drives. I could put the 2 x 3TB drives also in Raid 0 on Sata2 Intel and buy another 3TB drive for Backup  on SATA3 (ASMedia chipset) of the two Raid 0 volumes.
    Could I ask what you guys believe would be the most efficient allocation of file types across these volumes?
    I’m guessing the following, but would value your feedback
    2 x 3TB Raid 0 – Media, Projects,
    2 x 1TB Raid 0 – Media Cache & Database, Previews
    1 x 3TB Export, Backup
    Many Thanks!

  • Working with audio | Learn Premiere Pro CS6 | Adobe TV

    This movie introduces the robust audio tools in Premiere Pro. Abba Shapiro shows how to preview and trim audio in the Source Monitor. Whether it’s an audio-only file or the audio channel of a video clip, Abba shows how to enable sub-frame audio scrubbing and trimming. He also shows how to interpret clips to combine or separate stereo channels. At the same time, he introduces fundamental audio tools that are essential to working with audio in Premiere Pro.
    http://adobe.ly/To00IZ

    Is it possible to specify what audio channels to capture during capture from tape? It seems Premiere wants to mix the lavaliere mic and camera mic into a stereo track all the time, and then I have to modify audio settings and force it to mono in the project. In Final Cut pro 7, I am able to specify which audio tracks to capture, and this simplifies things in editing. I cannot see anywhere to do this in Premiere....

  • CS6 Premiere Pro Workflow

    In the limited time I have, I am attempting to learn Premiere Pro and have working through the CS6 tutorials that creativecow.com have to offer. However, it would be a great help if I had a better idea on the workflow (in simple terms) such as:
    Set parameters
    Import files into Project Panel
    Open each file (one at a time) in Source Monitor for adjustments i.e. (In and Out points)
    When all files (Clips) have been edited, bring them into the timeline from the  
            Project Panel, or 
            Source Monitor, or 
           Either one? 
    Make final adjustments to footage on the timeline 
    Move to SpeedGrade for color adjustment's
    Move back to Premiere Pro for rendering 
    Editing of footage is finished
    Questions:
    1. Could someone give me a suitable workflow similar to the example I give above (if not correct). 
    2. Also, it seems that all editing of any footage can be done in either of the Source or Program panels, is this correct, and if so, why 2 panels?
    Thanks

    Open each file (one at a time) in Source Monitor for adjustments i.e. (In and Out points)
    When all files (Clips) have been edited, bring them into the timeline from the

  • How do I synchronize multiple *sequential* clips using audio waveforms in Premiere Pro CC?

    I recorded a concert at my kids' school.  I ended up with:
    Video in six separate clips (video+audio) from my Canon 5D Mark III camera
    A single audio clip from my Zoom H4n recorder
    The 5D Mark III can only record clips of up to 4GB in size, and clips 30 minutes in length.  The clips broken up by the 4GB size limit are adjacent to each other, but the clips broken up by the 30-minute limit have a stop-pause-restart gap of a few second.
    On past such projects, I have used PluralEyes 3.0 to synchronize the clips.  But PluralEyes converts each stereo audio track into dual mono tracks, which I don't like.
    I just happened upon this video:  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/merge-clips-automatically-using-audio-wave forms/?t=0  It shows how to synchronize a single video+audio clip with another audio clip.  It also shows how to synchromize multiple concurrent video+audio clips with another audio clip, for multi-camera editing.  But it doesn't show how to synchronize multiple sequential video+audio clips, as I got from my Canon 5D Mark III.
    It seems that every time I select multiple video clips, the Synchronize item in the pop-up menu is disabled.  When I select only the first video clip and the full-duration audio clip, I can synchronize them with audio waveforms.  But then when I try to select the second video clip and the full-duration audio clip and synchronize them, it breaks the sync of the first video cilp
    Can Premiere Pro CC synchronize multiple sequential video clips using the audio waveform method?
    I am running Premiere Pro CC version 7.2.1 (4).
    Thanks.

    I'm an editing newbie but this was the very first task I needed to do, i.e. align multiple video clips with a single audio track. My setup is similar. I'm shooting with a Canon 70D, which breaks up video into 4gb clips, which are continuous and easy to align end to end. But the 70D like the 5D only shoots for 30 minutes continuously, so a second or two is lost hitting record again. My external audio was recorded continuously with a camera mounted Tascam (like a zoom) with a line in to the camera. So, in theory, the audio should be the same on the external audio and the audio associated with the video clips, which probably helps the software identify the identical wave forms.
    I found that I could roughly align the video clips based on the audio wave forms and then "synchronize" the audio as shown in the video (Merge clips automatically using audio waveforms | Adobe Premiere Pro CC tutorials). I found that this aligned the audio perfectly but separated the video from its associated audio track. But it's easy to select the video and snap it back into alignment with its audio. While it would be nice to have everything merge automatically, using synchronize sequentially did not take much time.
    Hope that all makes sense.

  • How do I join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in Premiere Pro CS5?

    Hello,
    The question is in the title but I'm wondering how I can join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in PP CS5.5.  I put all my short clips right next to each other and selected all of them to see what options are available by right clicking and using the toolbar options at the top.  The closest that I got was to nest the sequence, but that's not what I really want.
    I'd like to merge all the short clips into one single (long) audio file to use under the video.
    Thoughts are welcome and  greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Melvin

    O.K. This is kind of fundamental and you will need to learn up on this fully ...but for now...
    Make sure you have the WAB ( work area bar )covering the length of the audio clips. ( You do not need to select them)
    Go to the File Menu> Export Media
    You will be given all the Export Options.  Choose Wave File
    Select option for Export Work Area.
    Choose where to export the file to ( HD location)
    follow your nose from there....

    BTW - Why are you taking the audio to Audition anyway? What are you going to do to it.

  • Importing Closed Caption .scc file into Premiere Pro CS6.  Closed Captioning is enabled but cannot see the Captions tab.  Also get error message when importing to bin.

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  My aim is to export an mpeg file with closed captioning embeded for network television.  I have watched numbers adobe videos and have spent countless hours researching this.  I am able to generate about 29 different types of Closed Caption files using MovieCaptioner- including .scc (which Adobe says they prefer).  When I try to "Import" the file I get an incompatible error message.  The same happens with all other cc file types when I try to import them.  Second, I tried attaching the .scc as an attachment in the sequence menu.  They show up in the preview window, but do no encode into the mpeg file.  I am aware of this form:  Re: How do I export closed-captioned movies from Premiere CS6?

    Sorry, you cannot do this in Premiere Pro CS6. Only QuickTime files can be exported with embedded closed captioning and this must be done in Premiere Pro CC or later. All other formats must use a sidecar file.

    You can only attach a closed caption file in Premiere Pro CS6, no encoding is available for closed caption files (embedded or sidecar).

    Caption is a tab is in the Export Settings dialog box if you want to export with closed captions. This tab is available in Premiere Pro CC and later.

    In Creative Cloud, you would still have trouble encoding a MPEG 2 file with embedded captions as it is a QuickTime only feature. There might be a plug-in available, but I'm not aware of it.

  • Can't import Photoshop files into Premiere Pro

    I am learning Premiere Pro CS6 and I am using a book titled "Classroom in a Book".  One of the exercises is to import a Photoshop file into Premiere Pro.  I received a generic error message "The importer reported a generic error".  I found that if I run Premiere Pro as an Administrator that the issue goes away.  I wasn't too worried about it until I realized that my ShuttleXpress does not function when I am running Premiere Pro as an Administrator.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on???? This is very frustrating.

    I only have one account on the computer and it has Administrator priveleges.  What I am doing to make it work is opening the application using the "Run as Administrator" command (e.g., right click application shortcut on desktop, choose "Run as Administrator").  I am not a Windows guru but I would guess there is something different between opening an Application with a user that has Administrator priveleges and opening an Application choosing "Run as Administrator".  Also, your answer still does not address the fact that I can't use my jog wheel.
    Anyone else have some ideas?

  • Can I install both Premiere Elements and Premiere Pro on my computer?

    I use elements but I want to learn premiere pro so I just installed it but in the process elements was deleted.  I still need elements to finish projects I've started in elements.  Is there a way to have both programs on my computer and use both elements when I want and premiere pro when I want?
    Is it possible to open an elements file using premiere pro CS6?  I tried but it didn't work.
    Thank you.

    ATR,
    I agree completely.
    Without every version, over the last 10 years, of each program, it's almost impossible to tell a poster, "Yeah, that will work... "
    It's the same with Premiere (not Elements, but the program before the "Pro" designation) and Premiere Pro. I inherited a big Project, originally started in Premiere 6.5 on a Mac. I had PrPro CS 2 on a PC, and all of the Project files Opened very well. IIRC, there were a half-dozen Transitions, that I did not have, but PrPro gave me the name of the Transition, plus the TimeCode of where it was used. All I had to do was change the missing one to Cross-Dissolve (do not know why the original editor deviated from that?), and all was good. However, when Adobe went with the Pro version, it was ONLY ported for the PC - no Mac support at all. Then, with PrPro CS 3, X-platform support WAS added. If a Mac user had an earlier Premiere, or Premiere Pro Project, before CS 3, they had to find a PrPro PC-user, with PrPro CS 3, who would Open that earlier file, then Save_As, so that they could Open it on their Macs, with later versions. Real "hands across the aisle" thing. We PC guys helped many Mac users to get them up and editing, but it was tough to explain all the ins-and-outs to them. Lot of confusion in those days. We do not see it that often now, as Premiere, up through version 6.5 are fading into history.
    Also, to add to that confusion, Adobe shook things up, with the release of Premiere 7.0, also officially called Premiere Pro 7.0, but also Premiere Pro 1.0, at the same time. Most countries got only PrPro 1.0, but not all. Even some Adobe Staff folk do not realize that there were three, coincidental names for basically the same program. And, as that was the point of transition to PC-only, puzzle over what version a user really has. I have had a few state that there was NO Premiere Pro 7.0, and that it was ONLY Premiere 7.0, or Premiere Pro 1.0. I have seen the boxes that show that some folk DID get a program officially named Adobe Premiere Pro 7.0. Just a bit of arcane history.
