Welcome to the wonderful world of editing!

For your next project, you will be using Adobe Premiere to make a movie trailer. Use at least two different sources to create a 2-3 min trailer.

Today we will go over:

Intro to Premiere’s interface including understanding file size and sequences, importing and organizing video footage and still images, editing best practices: marking in and out in the browser, editing tools including the razor blade, basic video and audio transitions, sizing the image, cropping and unlinking audio from a clip.

We’ll also be discussing editing concepts. Here is a link to to the wonderful Walter Murch’s book In the Blink of an Eye.

Studio Binder has also been putting out some interesting resource with many examples.
