How To EDIT FASTER in Premiere Pro CC

GENERATED CAPTIONS:
Hey what's happening I'm Alli, and in this tutorial i'm going to show you five things you can do right now in Premiere Pro to make editing faster. First if you want to move a clip or an asset that's on your timeline from one track to another track; really quick and easy way to do it is select it, hold down alt or option on your keyboard and use your up arrow to move it up, or use the down arrow to move it down the track.

Next let's look at how to quickly add a keyframe to your audio track where the volume line is; you can hold down command on a mac keyboard and control on a PC, and click the areas where you'd like your keyframes to be placed. I'll add these two keyframes so I can fade this music lower, and we could use the command or control key on our keyboard, and click on the line within our footage here to do something like create a fade like so.

Now when you're working with audio and you're using this line to adjust the volume it can be pretty annoying to try and get it to the exact decibel you want it at. I'm going to show you two ways to make adjusting the volume easier, so by selecting the audio volume line and then holding down command on a mac and controlling a pc you can drag the audio up or down a lot slower, so that you can get really precise with where you choose to have that audio decibel sit.

That was the first way to precisely adjust audio; here's the second way. So let's say you want to change the decibel of your audio by one, well with your audio selected you can hit the left bracket key on your keyboard to bring that audio level down by one decibel, I'll just hit the left bracket a few times here and if you want to increase it by a decibel you can hit the right bracket.

Now you might currently make edit points by using your razor tool to cut the clip, then selecting the cut part of the clip pressing delete, then deleting the empty space in the timeline to bring the following part of your edit over like this, but there's a faster way to do this.

So i'm just going to press command z on my keyboard to undo that; okay and the faster way to do this is to use ripple trim. So we could either choose our ripple edit tool over here in the toolbar, or we could work even faster, and press the keyboard shortcut ‘b’ to bring up this ripple edit tool and now we can just drag that clip to the point where we want it trimmed and when we let go that brings all of the other footage to the right to that point.

Now when you work with text and Premiere Pro you're probably going to find fonts that you really really like and there's a quick way to access your preferred fonts. So let's just click on this text layer here, go into my Essential Graphics window. In the edit tab select that ‘alli and will’ text title, and under the text drop down menu; let's say we love Ariel font, let's find it and we want to click on the star beside it to favorite it. Now when we go up to this star here and click on it we will be able to easily access all of our favorite fonts.

It is a big time saver, especially when you work on multiple projects for one client who prefers using the same font throughout all of their video projects. And there you go, those are my five tips for editing faster in Premiere Pro, and if you want to deep dive into learning more about how to use Premiere Pro, check out our Premiere Pro CC playlist.
