It took me roughly two days of steady editing in Premiere to get comfortable with it and I continue to learn more each day.Note: This excerpt is from the forthcoming book Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Classroom in a Book, ISBN 978-7-5. Abba Shapiro ( is a great resource to reference for tips on editing in Premiere Pro. Many of their titles are posted to YouTube along with several independent authors who you also might find helpful. ,, and Video Copilot, are a few of my favorite sites to reference whenever I need to look something up. There are countless videos on the web that can teach you how you do just about anything. When it comes time to look something up, this is I recommend doing. Watch Tutorials. This ties in with my last point.You just need to decide which is the best way for you. You’ll discover numerous ways to accomplish one action in this program. However, as your project becomes more complex and you begin adding more and more clips, you might consider using the track selection tool (A) to highlight the clips you wish to move. For example, you might begin selecting clips in your timeline by clicking or dragging your cursor over them. If you try to learn everything at once without using it in practice, you’ll wind up forgetting most of what you learned. Work with what you know until you reach a point where you need help. The best way to learn anything is to do it. Don’t try to do too much. This point is almost counter-intuitive.Using this will allow you to slide a clip or multiple clips in your timeline without having to select and drag one by one. Another handy shortcut combo I’ve been accustomed to using is Opt-Cmd-Drag. Just make sure the necessary audio/video tracks are selected on the left-hand side of your timeline. (You could do this during playback as well.) On a Mac, Adobe’s equivalent is Cmd-K. A popular shortcut combo in FCP is control-v, cut clip. Learn the shortcuts and force yourself to use them. Repetition is key.
Adobe will automatically detect the format of the files your working with and adjust your sequences accordingly. Don’t worry about setting your sequence preset. You can apply the same organizational structure to your Premiere projects as you could your Final Cut projects. This includes creating a project file directory and setting your scratch disks. Like any other program, Premiere needs to be configured before you can begin. Start from the beginning. Every program needs to be set-up a certain way.
