Hey Ruan here from TunnelvizionTV and I've decided I'm going to do a
tutorial series on Adobe Premiere Pro and I'm just going to go from start to
finish how to customize your interface how to do video editing right through to
exporting your final video for uploading to YouTube etc so in this first video
I'm just going to concentrate on the layout or the interface inside of
Premiere Pro and for this series I'm going to be using Premiere Pro 2017 but
you should be able to follow along if using previous or other versions very
similar some of the things might be slightly different but you should be
able to follow along so first time when you open up premiere you're going to
start with an interface that looks something like this and I'm going to
show you guys how to just customize this I like to just remove some of the panels
and just to make it a little bit simpler a little bit more cleaner so first of
all go to window right at the top go to workspaces and then make sure that
you're on the editing workspace it's just going to remove this panel on the
side and then I'm going to show you how to customize it even a little bit
further so you've got these panels open and yet the bottom on the left hand side
you've got all these tabs like Project Media Browser etc and what I like to do
is I like to take this project window so just click and drag on it and then drag
it right to the side of your monitor and you'll see that it's going to snap this
project panel right to the side and then you can resize it so I'm just going to
resize it make it smaller something like this and then I'm going to take my
effects panel so if you look at the bottom you'll see effects click on this
I'm going to click and drag this to the bottom of my project window so it's kind
of setting at the bottom I'm going to resize it so it's slightly smaller and
then media browser libraries info markers in history I'm going to remove
these so I'm going to right click on Media Browser click on closed panel
through the same with libraries info also close markers close these three
clothes all right so now you've got your project section or your project panel on
the side you've got your source window you've got your program window your
timeline of your sequence and you've got your tools and you've got your effect at
the bottom now right at the top you've got this assembly editing color
effect this is basically just a workspace shortcut and I'm going to
close that as well because it's just taking up some extra space of the screen
so I'm going to right-click you on the side and I'm just going to select close
panel all right so that's gone so let's quickly go through all these panels and
I'll tell you what they do so let's start with the project panel so this is
basically where you're going to have all your media all your video clips your
music your sound effects your photos etc that will be in this panel and then
you've got your source window so your source window is basically if you open
up a clip from the project window it's going to appear in the source window and
this is where you going to preview it basically before you take it into your
edit and this is where you going to set your in and outpoint and then you're
going to drag it into your sequence so it's basically like a preview window
before you actually start editing on or using that clip in your edit next you
have your program window and this will show the final output from your sequence
so if you're working or as you're working on your edit you will see the
video inside your program window right then you put your timeline or your
sequence and this is where you're going to be able to do your editing you're
going to be cutting your video clips here you can add video clips add your
music all of that so you'll see when we start doing the first edit that those
clips will appear in this section at the bottom and then you've got your tools so
we're going to go through these tools later but this is basically your select
and your razor tool etc and any future effect at the bottom so this is like
your audio effects and your video effects and you also find your transitions your
video transitions and your audio transitions here and that's basically
all the panels that we can be using also you're on the side you've got your audio
preview this is really going to be seeing the audio levels of your video so
that's basically the layout that we're going to be using throughout this series
make sure you set it up something like this and I will see you guys in the next video.
