Hey everybody! It's Premiere Gal here and I'm excited to share with you a new
software that I've been using to ingest, process and tag my video footage
before I send it to Premiere Pro for editing. And it's called Kyno by
Lesspain software. So the best part of Kyno is that it makes it easy to prep
your footage for editing so that way later on you don't have to spend so much
time organizing and you can just focus on actually doing the creative part of
editing, right? So I have some footage that I shot in February in San Francisco
when I was visiting my family and I want to make a travel vlog. So I have my SD
cards here ready and I'm ready to import them with Kyno to edit in Premiere Pro.
So be sure to download the trial version of Kyno. I left a link in the
description box below and let's go ahead and show you how I use Kyno.
So now that I'm inside of Kyno you'll see that here under devices on the left I
can access all the media on my hard drive as well as from my SD card called
EOS digital which is the card I want to get all the footage from. You can see
this drill down folder at the top is turned on. What this does is literally
drill down to find and reveal all of the media that I have within the folder
selected. Since I also shot photos on my camera Kyno makes it easy for me to
sift through and narrow down my content with these media icons at the top so
what I'm going to do is turn off audio and photos so I can just see the video
that I want to import. You can also use this feature to filter through footage
you already have on your computer or hard drive it doesn't have to be from an
SD card. I also like to increase the size of the thumbnail using the zoom slider
in the lower right corner to review the footage and make sure that I'm going to
import only the footage that I want. Then I'm going to hit "command+ A" (on a MAC) to select all
the clips here in the folder and then I'm going to drag it over to the folder
on my external hard drive, "GAL" into a folder called San Francisco, into a folder
called "Video" on the Left panel this will copy over all the footage from the SD
card to the drive that I want to import. The next thing that I do in KY know
I like to go through and add metadata to all the newly imported footage. If you
double click on a clip it'll show you all this info such as the file size, when
it was created, the format, how long the clip is, and the duration, resolution and
much more. You can also play the clip back with Kyno's impressive player which
can play back almost all formats and even 4k. It really has all the features
of a professional video player. Here I also like to add in and out points using
I and O to grab the portion of the shot I definitely know that I will use.
Sometimes the camera is a little shaky and I only want that moment that's nice and still.
You can even add markers if you like. On the right now depending on how
detailed you want to get you can add further info. I like to add a title in
description as well as detail what camera I used and some tags.
This may seem like a lot of work but ultimately will save you time if you ever want to
find some of these shots later on. You can also convert this footage into a
different codec for audio, video distro on youtube, and editing. Or you can open
it up in another video player if you like, you can also export the video to
Final Cut or if you're like me I want to send it to Premiere Pro for editing.
But before I do that I'm first going to add metadata to the rest of the clips that
I'd like to ingest and then I'm going to batch send them to Premiere Pro.
So now that I'm done adding metadata to all the clips I now want to send it to Premiere
Pro. I'm going to hit "command+a" to select them all and then I'm going to right
click and click on send Premiere Pro. This will create a new Premiere Pro
project if you don't have one open or if you already have a Premier Pro project
open, it'll import all these clips into the current project you have. You will
see that the name of each video clip was changed to the title that I gave it to
Kyno, so it's not some generic mvi_1823 or something like that.
It's actually the title that I gave it inside of Kyno, the title that will
be for me easy to recognize. If you added any markers or in and out points in
Kyno, you will see that those also transferred
over into Premiere Pro. When you double click on a clip and open it up in
the source panel you'll see the markers and the in and out points. So now I'm in
a much better place to start editing my vlog, I know where everything is.
So Kyno is a really great starting point and a great way to just ingest and stay
organized and super fun if you're a metadata nerd like me.
So I hope that you guys found this tutorial useful. Kyno is awesome and there's tons of other
features that you need to explore there's an awesome video denoiser, the
ability to export frames from many video clips at once for social media or your
YouTube thumbnails. There are lots of awesome things to explore so go ahead
and download the trial in the link below. So I make new video production tutorials
every week based on your request if you go to Premieregal.com/tutorials
leave your requests there and I look forward to reading it.
I will see you guys very soon, bye!
