Adobe Premiere & Media Production

Here are notes that cover the steps that I teach about Premiere in class.

Establishing a project folder and a Premiere project, and importing images, including an image sequence, how to change the duration of still images before you import them, and how to change the duration of images and movies in the Timeline.

• A basic animation project with Premiere
• Information on the steps to set up a project
• Working with image files, including image sequences and “interpreting footage” to set frame rates
• To export MP4 and QuickTime movies, for both playback and processing purposes and archiving

Effects that you would probably want to apply adjustments to images/clips in the Timeline:

• To scale footage, by hand and by using the Motion Effects Controls
• To add a colour matte to the Project Window
• Adjusting the Levels to make tonal changes
• Colour correction

Advanced features for animation production:

• Applying a colour key
• Using keyframes

Final rendering and creating movie files:

• To export MP4 and QuickTime movies, for both playback and processing purposes and archiving

Methods and processes to edit sound:

• The basics of sound editing (synchronizing audio effects to picture)
• Adobe Audition notes
• To tap a beat and identify the tempo in the Timeline
• Adding footsteps to an animated character and assigning them to a sub-mix
• Colour bars and reference tone
• To export an audio clip
