HOW TO EDIT CLIPS IN PREMIER PRO

The video above explains how you can create a new bin in adobe premier. Bins can help you organize your clips into specific folders. These bins are very easy to make and rename.

The first step is to click the new bin button in the project panel. It looks like a folder and is in the bottom right corner. After you click this button a new bin will appear where you will be able to rename it how ever you would like to. You can choose to name it based off of location, who was filmed, or whatever you may like. Find a way of organizing that works best for you. By clicking on the bin to open it you can then use the key board shortcut command I to import clips. You can choose whatever clips you would like from anywhere on your computer to go into this bin. If you want to rename the video you can right click and choose rename. Once your clips are imported to premier you can begin the editing process.

One way to edit your clips is to drag the clip from the project panel to the source panel. In the source panel you can use the keyboard shortcut keys I and O to choose when the video will come in and out. Remember the phrase enter late leave early when deciding when people or objects should come into frame. You can then drag your clip to the editing panel on the bottom right of your screen. If you cut your video too short just drag the edge of the clip out to get a more precise edit.

Once you have found a way of organizing clips that works for you it will become easier to edit your videos a lot quicker.
