In Premiere Pro CS4 Getting Started, I walk you through a non-linear editing project from beginning to end, introducing both new and established features along the way. I demonstrates how to capture and organize video footage from tapes or files, create and add to a sequence, and perform basic editing and trimming tasks. I also discuss techniques for color correction, transitions, titles, and other effects. Lastly I prepare the finished piece for export to both Encore DVD and web-optimized video formats. Example files accompany the course.
Topics include:
- Customizing project settings, preferences, and the workspace
- Importing native CS4 files and other media
- Fading out a video track’s audio while fading in a music track
- Using the Titler for scrolling text and other effects
