Using Adobe Premiere (College website project)

Just a quick one about how I used adobe premiere to edit captured footage for interviews in our college website project.

To edit the videos we used the Adobe Premiere software, to use this you first have to import the video in .avi format into premiere, you can then drag it from the list on the left hand side into the timeline.

From the timeline you can effectively do whatever you like to the sound and video. I began by unlinking the sound from the video this allows you to move them both out of sync and begin editing, the shortcut “c” starts the cut tool, moving the cursor over the asset and clicking cuts it at that spot, this breaks the asset up and you can move both of them around.

This allows you to add in cut away to other scenes, which can be imported in the same way as the first video.

Including adding other scenes you can also add transitions to smooth the cut aways to other clips, transitions such as dip to black / white, which really help in making the final video look more professional.
