因此，您想使用Adobe Premiere开始视频编辑，这是任何经验水平的视频编辑人员的首选。您购买并下载程序，打开它，但突然意识到您并不真正知道该做什么或从哪里开始。
但是，您很快就会发现，没有理由不知所措。无论出于何种原因想要开始，无论您是在创建YouTube频道还是在编辑您的第一部短片，您都会发现，一旦您熟悉了该程序，您的编辑时间就会飞逝。
如果您按照本Adobe Premiere教程中的指示进行操作，您将可以自信地开始编辑您的媒体。掌握基础知识后，您还可以更轻松地建立自己的知识。请记住，对于像Premiere这样的程序，有不止一种方法可以做所有事情，所以不要觉得您必须始终坚持这些特定方法。
开始一个新项目(Starting a New Project)
打开Adobe Premiere后，主屏幕上有几个选项。您可以开始一个新项目，打开一个正在处理的项目，也可以查看最近要打开的项目列表。
假设您是从头开始，单击新建项目(New Project)将带您进入一个窗口，您可以在其中选择该项目的设置。它可能看起来令人困惑，但这里是每个部分的分解版本。
首先，有您的项目的名称，以及您选择要保存的项目的位置。然后是Video Rendering and Playback，这是您的计算机处理您正在制作的视频并将最终结果实时播放给您的方式。
您为此选项选择的内容决定了您的视频将被渲染和播放给您的速度。您的可用选项取决于您计算机的显卡，但大多数计算机都支持并推荐 Mercury Playback Engine GPU 加速 (Open CL) 。(Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL))
然后，您可以选择要显示视频的度量标准，时间码(Timecode)或帧(Frames)（除非您使用 16 毫米或 35 毫米相机录制，否则您无需担心英尺+帧）。时间码(Timecode)是您拍摄的视频记录和保存视频每一帧的方式。建议使用此选项，因为它会显示视频的播放时长，并更容易找到特定帧。
音频(Audio)显示选项实际上取决于您想要编辑音频文件的精确程度，但音频样本(Audio Samples)选项很好，除非您需要将音频编辑到毫秒。
捕捉格式(Capture Format)部分并不重要，除非您直接将视频捕捉到Adob e Premiere(Adobe Premiere)，在这种情况下，您可以选择是在数字视频(Digital Video)还是高清视频(High Definition Video)中拍摄。
插入您的视频和音频(Inserting Your Video and Audio)
设置项目选项后，您将被带到主工作区。您可以通过移动每个面板或在顶部栏中选择“Window > Workspaces”并选择其中一个预先创建的面板来更改工作区的外观。在本文中，将使用 编辑工作区。(Editing)
您要做的第一件事是将要使用的所有媒体加载到项目中。首先(First)，在左下角的框中找到媒体浏览器。(Media Browser)从这里，您可以直接从您的计算机搜索媒体。
找到所需的视频或音频后，单击它会将其显示在上方的源(Source)窗口中。在此窗口中，您可以使用标记入(Mark In)和标记出(Mark Out)工具（源视频下方的括号形图标 ）剪切您想要的部分并将其插入时间线（右下面板） 。
要插入视频，您可以从源窗口中视频下方的“仅视频”(Video Only)图标拖动视频，或者如果您想要整个视频及其可能包含的任何音频，也可以直接从媒体浏览器拖动视频。
或者，您可以使用插入(Insert)工具（源视频右下方第三个）将视频插入时间轴(Timeline)中标记所在的任何位置。
(Audio)如果您有单独的音频文件（例如音乐或音效），(such as music or sound effects)音频的定位和插入序列的工作方式相同。如果您只想从视频中获取音频本身，您只需将“仅音频”(Audio Only)图标拖到您的项目中即可。
基本 Adobe Premiere 工具说明(Basic Adobe Premiere Tools Explained)
在视频编辑时，Adobe Premiere为您提供的工具将成为您最好的朋友。该程序中有许多不同的工具，但这里解释了您可能最常使用的基本工具。
选择工具(Selection Tool)
这是一个看起来像指针的图标。它是序列旁边框中最顶部的工具。此工具允许您在时间轴中选择视频或音频，或选择界面中的按钮和选项。您还可以在时间轴中左键单击外部媒体并拖动以创建选择框以选择多个剪辑。
Track Select Forward + Backward Tool
这是选择工具(Selection Tool)下的下一个图标，用方框和箭头表示。您可能会注意到图标的右下角有一个小三角形。
这意味着通过单击并按住该图标，您可以访问与其相关的其他工具。通过这样做，您可以使用Track Select Forward工具，该工具可以将时间轴中的整个轨道向前移动，或者使用Track Select Backward工具，它执行相反的操作。
波纹编辑工具(Ripple Edit Tool)
您可以使用它来修剪剪辑的入点和出(Out)点，并且可以使用滚动编辑(Rolling Edit )工具同时编辑一个剪辑的出(Out)点和另一个剪辑的入点，以缩小间隙。
如果您需要加快或减慢整个剪辑的速度，则在此工具下还有Rate Stretch 。您可以单击并从入点或出点拖动以使用此工具。它不会从剪辑中删除任何内容，它只会加快或减慢帧速率。
剃刀工具(Razor Tool)
这是剃刀形状的图标。使用此工具，您可以轻松地在您希望的任何位置剪切剪辑。
类型工具(Type Tool)
这个工具，看起来像一个大写的 T，允许你直接点击你的视频播放并创建简单的文本。您还可以单击并按住以访问垂直文字(Vertical Type)工具，该工具会创建一个垂直文本框。
使用所有这些工具，将鼠标悬停在它们上面，您可能会在工具名称旁边的括号中看到一个字母。这是该工具绑定到的键盘上的键，因此您可以使用这些快捷方式快速访问它们。
基本音频编辑工具(Basic Audio Editing Tools)
Premiere不仅有编辑视频的工具，而且还有许多音频编辑选项可供您使用，以防您需要以某种方式对其进行操作。
将音频插入时间线后，您可以使用相同的工具以与编辑视频相同的方式对其进行编辑。除此之外，还有指定的音频效果来增强项目的声音。
要访问它们，请单击工作区顶部的“效果”选项卡。(Effects)这应该会打开右侧的“效果”面板，然后您可以从这里转到“(Effects)音频效果”(Audio Effects)。要使用其中任何一个，只需将您选择的效果拖到您的音频剪辑中即可。
一个非常有用的效果是DeHummer和DeNoise效果。如果您注意到音频剪辑中有很多背景噪音，这些效果可以帮助您摆脱它。您可以在Noise Reduction/Restoration下找到它们。应用它们后，您可以在“效果控件(Effect Controls)”面板中使用它们，但它们应该会自动消除大部分噪音。
要记住的另一件好事是，您可以直接从时间轴控制音频音量。如果您查看音频剪辑，您会注意到有一条白色水平线。您可以向上或向下拖动这条线来更改音量。如果您希望音量在某些地方响亮而在其他地方安静，您可以使用称为关键帧(Keyframes)的功能来做到这一点。
拖动(Drag one)时间线音频部分的滚动条上的一个圆圈以将其加宽。您应该会在音频时间线的左侧看到一个菱形图标。如果您单击此图标，您将添加一个Keyframe，如果您添加至少两个，您可以独立拖动它们。使用它，您可以轻松地淡入/淡出您的音频。
首映中的标题创建(Title Creation in Premiere)
如果您需要创建比简单文本工具更详细的标题， Premiere中的(Premiere)旧标题(Legacy Title)功能提供了更多用于制作标题的工具。只需(Simply)单击File > New > Legacy Title即可打开创建窗口。
使用此窗口中的文字工具输入您的文本。(Type)在右侧的“变换”(Transform)部分下，您可以更改位置、大小、不透明度等。在Properties下，有许多用于创建独特标题的选项，例如添加倾斜、字距调整或跟踪。您还可以更改字体本身和大小。
您不仅可以创建文本，还可以使用形状工具将基本形状添加到标题中。
使用颜色分级改变视频的外观(Changing The Look of Your Video With Color Grading)
如果您希望视频的外观更加一致，您可以使用Premiere中的Lumetri Color轻松调整颜色、照明和其他视觉方面。您可以在“颜色(Color)”面板下找到它。
使用Lumetri Color，您可以使用许多不同的工具。在基本校正(Basic Correction)下，您可以进行一些快速更改以改善剪辑的外观，例如White Balance, Contrast, Highlights/Shadows和Whites/Blacks。如果您想进行更高级和更详细的更改，其余选项将为您提供更多自由。
但是，如果您对这里的工具数量感到不知所措，还可以选择下载LUT(LUTs)和颜色预设来自动对剪辑进行颜色分级。你可以在网上找到很多免费的。
下载后，您可以在基本校正中的(Basic Correction)LUT选项下或在Lumetri(Look)颜色(Lumetri Color)下的创意(Creative)下拉菜单中的查看下浏览它们。
导出和渲染您的视频(Exporting and Rendering Your Video)
编辑完成，您对结果感到满意(happy with the result)。那么，如何将编辑后的视频转换为可共享的格式？值得庆幸的是，Adobe Premiere可以轻松地直接在程序中渲染您的视频并将其导出。
要开始此过程，首先通过在时间线面板内部单击来激活时间线面板，然后找到最顶部的工具栏并单击File > Export > Media。将弹出一个屏幕供您选择导出选项。首先(First)，确保您正在导出要导出的序列。您可以通过在预览中拖动蓝色标记来查看正在导出的内容。
接下来，您需要选择一种格式来保存视频。除非您需要以某种格式保存视频，否则通常建议 使用H.264以获得最佳质量输出。(H.264)
然后有一个选择预设的选项。这取决于您将如何分享您的视频。有一些预设可以让您的视频更好地受到Facebook、YouTube、Twitter和其他已经可供选择的平台的支持。或者，您可以选择自定义(custom)来选择您自己的设置。不过，一般来说(Generally)，匹配源 - 高比特率(Match Source – High Bitrate )预设适用于大多数用途。
确保(Make)为您的项目命名并选择您希望保存导出视频的位置，并根据您要导出的内容检查 导出视频(Export Video)和导出音频。(Export Audio)
完成后，您可以单击底部的导出(Export)，完成的视频将发送到您选择的位置。
An Adobe Premiere Tutorial For Beginners
So you want to start video editing with Adobe Premiere, the top choicе for video editors at аny experience level. You buy аnd download the program, open it up, but then you’re suddenly hit with the realization thаt you don’t really know what to do, or where to start.
You’ll soon find, though, there’s no reason to be overwhelmed. Whatever the reason is for wanting to start, whether you’re starting a YouTube channel or are editing your first short film, you’ll see that once you get yourself acquainted with the program, your editing time seems to fly by.
If you follow the pointers in this Adobe Premiere tutorial, you’ll be all set to start editing your media confidently. You’ll also be able to build on your knowledge more easily once you get the basics down. Keep in mind that with programs like Premiere, there’s more than one way to do everything, so don’t feel like you have to stick to these specific methods at all times.
Starting a New Project
Once you get Adobe Premiere opened up, you have a few options on the home screen. You can either start a new project, open one you’re working on, or you can see a list of your most recent projects to open.
Assuming you’re starting from scratch, clicking on New Project will bring you to a window where you can choose the settings of this project. It may look confusing, but here is a broken down version of each part.
First, there’s the name of your project, and the location where you choose your project to be saved. Then there’s Video Rendering and Playback, which is the way your computer processes the video you’re producing and plays back the final result to you in real-time.
What you choose for this option determines how fast your video will be rendered and played back to you. Your available options depend on your computer’s graphics card, but Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL) is supported by most computers and recommended.
You can then choose by what metric you want your video displayed, either Timecode or Frames (you don’t need to worry about feet + frames unless you recorded with a 16mm or 35mm camera). Timecode is how the video you shot logged and saved each frame of the video. This option is recommended as it will show you how long your video comes out to and makes it easier to locate specific frames.
The Audio display option really comes down to how precisely you want to edit your audio files, but the Audio Samples option is fine unless you need to edit audio down to the millisecond.
The Capture Format section is not important unless you are directly capturing video to Adobe Premiere, in which case you’d choose whether you’re shooting in Digital Video or High Definition Video.
Inserting Your Video and Audio
After setting your project options, you will be brought to your main workspace. You can change how you want your workspace to look by moving each panel, or choosing Window > Workspaces in the top bar and selecting one of the pre-created ones. In this article the Editing workspace will be used.
The first thing you want to do is load all the media you’ll be using into your project. First, locate the Media Browser in the bottom left box. From here, you can search for media right from your computer.
Once you find the video or audio you want, clicking on it will display it in the Source window right above. In this window you can cut what portions you want and insert it into your timeline (the bottom right panel) using the Mark In and Mark Out tools (the bracket-shaped icons below your source video.)
To insert the video, you can either drag the video from the Video Only icon underneath the video in the source window, or you can drag the video straight from the media browser if you want the entire video and any audio it may have.
Alternatively, you can use the Insert tool (third from the right below your source video) to insert the video wherever the marker is in the Timeline.
Audio works the same to locate and insert into a sequence if you have separate audio files, such as music or sound effects. If you want to take only the audio itself from a video, you can simply drag the Audio Only icon into your project.
Basic Adobe Premiere Tools Explained
When video editing, the tools Adobe Premiere has to offer you will be your best friend. There are many different tools within the program, but here’s an explanation of the basic ones you’ll likely be using most often.
Selection Tool
This is the icon that looks like a pointer. It’s the topmost tool in the box next to your sequences. This tool allows you to select video or audio in your timeline, or select the buttons and options within the interface. You can also left-click outside media in your timeline and drag to create a selection box to select multiple clips.
Track Select Forward + Backward Tool
This is the next icon under the Selection Tool, denoted by a box and arrow. You may notice in the bottom-right corner of the icon there is a small triangle.
This means that by clicking and holding down on the icon you can access the other tools related to it. By doing this you can use the Track Select Forward tool, which can move an entire track in your timeline forward, or the Track Select Backward tool, which does the opposite.
Ripple Edit Tool
You can use this to trim the In and Out points of your clips, and you can use the Rolling Edit tool to simultaneously edit one clip’s Out point and another’s In point, in order to close gaps.
Under this tool there is also Rate Stretch if you need to speed up or slow down an entire clip. You can click and drag from the In or Out points to use this tool. It won’t cut anything from the clip, it’ll just speed or slow the frame rate.
Razor Tool
This is the razor-shaped icon. With this tool, you can easily cut clips at any point you wish.
Type Tool
This tool, which looks like a capital T, allows you to click directly on your video playback and create simple text. You can also click and hold to access the Vertical Type tool, which creates a vertical text box.
With all these tools, by hovering your mouse over them, you might see a letter in parentheses next to the tool name. This is what key on your keyboard the tool is tied to, so you can use these shortcuts to quickly access them.
Basic Audio Editing Tools
Not only does Premiere have tools to edit your video, but there are also many audio editing options available in case you need to manipulate it in some way.
After inserting audio into your timeline, you can edit it the same way you edit video, using the same tools. Besides this, there are also designated audio effects to enhance the sounds of your project.
To access them, click on the Effects tab at the top of your workspace. This should open the Effects panel to your right side, and from here you can go to Audio Effects. To use any of them, simply drag your chosen effect to your audio clip.
An extremely useful effect is the DeHummer and DeNoise effects. If you’re noticing a lot of background noise in your audio clip, these effects can help you get rid of it. You can find them under Noise Reduction/Restoration. Once you’ve applied them, you can play with them in the Effect Controls panel, but they should remove most noise automatically.
Another good thing to keep in mind is that you can control the volume of audio directly from your timeline. If you look at your audio clip, you’ll notice there is a white horizontal line. You can drag this line up or down to change the volume. If you’d like the volume to be loud in certain spots and quiet in others, you can use a feature called Keyframes to do this.
Drag one of the circles on the scrollbar in the audio section of the timeline to widen it. You should see a diamond-shaped icon to the left of your audio timeline. If you click this icon, you’ll add a Keyframe, and if you add at least two you can drag them independently of the other. Using this you can easily fade in/out your audio.
Title Creation in Premiere
If you need to create more detailed titles than the simple text tool will allow you, the Legacy Title feature in Premiere has plenty more tools for title-making. Simply click File > New > Legacy Title to open up the creation window.
Use the Type tool in this window to type your text. Under the Transform section to the right, you can change the placement, size, opacity, and more. Under Properties, there are lots of options for unique title creation, such as adding slant, kerning, or tracking. You can also change the font itself and the size.
Not only can you create text, but you can also use the shape tools to add basic shapes into your title.
Changing The Look of Your Video With Color Grading
If you want the look of your video to feel more consistent, you can easily adjust the color, lighting, and other visual aspects using Lumetri Color in Premiere. You can find this under the Color panel.
With Lumetri Color you have many different tools at your disposal. Under Basic Correction, you can do some quick changes to improve your clip’s look, such as White Balance, Contrast, Highlights/Shadows and Whites/Blacks. If you’d like to do more advanced and detailed changes, the rest of the options give you more freedom.
If you’re overwhelmed with the amount of tools here, though, there’s also the option to download LUTs and color presets to automatically color grade your clips. There are plenty of free ones you can find online.
Once you’ve downloaded one, you can browse for them under the LUT option in Basic Correction, or under Look in the Creative dropdown under Lumetri Color.
Exporting and Rendering Your Video
The editing is done, and you’re happy with the result. So how do you get your edited video out into a shareable format? Thankfully, Adobe Premiere makes it easy to render your video directly in the program and export it.
To begin this process, first activate the timeline panel by clicking inside it, then locate the very top toolbar and click File > Export > Media. A screen will pop up for you to choose your export options. First, make sure you are exporting the sequence you want to export. You can see what you are exporting by dragging the blue marker through the preview.
Next, you’ll want to choose a format to save your video in. Unless you’re required to save your video in a certain format, using H.264 is generally recommended for the best quality output.
Then there’s an option to choose a preset. This depends on how you’ll be sharing your video. There are presets that will make your video better supported by Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and other platforms already available to choose. Or, you can choose custom to choose your own settings. Generally, though, the Match Source – High Bitrate preset is good for most uses.
Make sure to name your project and choose where you’d like the exported video to be saved, and that the Export Video and Export Audio are checked according to what you want exported.
When you’re finished, you can then click Export at the bottom and your finished video will be sent to your chosen location.
