Hey, what's up boys and girls I'm ignace Aleya from toleratedcinematics.com
and today it's a second filmmaking Friday spin that intro if you enjoy my
videos be sure to hit the subscribe button and hit the bell icon to make
sure that you get notified when I upload new videos we are going to be talking
about how to optimize your workflow to have a smooth and lightning fast editing
routine in Adobe Premiere Pro before we start I want to let you know that we are
actually running a cool giveaway at this moment with an amazing price together
with a collaboration with equity lights we actually organized this giveaway for
150,000 subscribers and as I thank you we wanted to give you a really cool
prize it's simple to enter in the giveaway if you didn't check out that
video yet I will put a card right here on that video and also a link in the
description just go ahead enter in the giveaway and maybe you're the winner
alright so let's say you have filmed some footage it's really important to
set up a clear and easy structure that you use every single time this will save
you a ton of time when you make changes and will keep everything clear
especially if you work with multiple people or in a team or if you want to
come back to your own project but later in time for example one year from now I
already have a video on organizing your video editing structure I will add a car
to this video if you haven't seen that video I definitely encourage you to go
and check that video out first it has some amazing tips and it will definitely
increase your productivity when it comes to editing now let's get started with
this video when you record it your video files each camera record in a different
codec some are good and some are not so good
premiere really loves to work with video files with a great codec it really
speeds up the editing process and it has nothing to do with your resolution of
your video just how the video is encoded of course resolution is also a part in
the playback speed but encoding your video file is equally as important if
you are not sure that you are working with the supported codec you can easily
transcode them and prove Pro automatically when you open a
Premiere Pro you create a new project and go to the ingest settings if you
toggle ingest settings to arm you have multiple options here it is best to
select one of the presets I would go for your D and X HD but it doesn't really
matter which preset you choose they are all optimized for premiere so whatever
you like go with that one the downside on this workflow is that it will likely
increase your video files up to five times their original size and this can
take up a lot of storage very quickly so if you are planning to backup this
project it might not be the best choice instead what you can do is work with
proxies and proxies are simply lower resolution video files that you make
from your original files for example if you have 4k you will lower the
resolution and create proxies to edit with because of the low resolution your
playback speed is geniusly fast and you can fully concentrate on the creative
part of editing once you are done you toggle on your original files again and
you can start with the final tweaking such as color grading to do this you can
go to the ingest settings again but instead of using the transcode option
here you will use the create proxies here again pick a preset the lower the
resolution the faster your editing will be and don't kill yourself if you have a
beef specie like I do it's still very interesting to use proxies for example I
am working with Abby's PC from Amazon with a 10 core processor and yet I
prefer to work with proxies as it is much faster if you are interested in
which PC I am using and what's all under the hood actually made a video on that
with link in the description you can go and check that out now that you selected
the proxies preset you can import your footage and this will automatically open
up Media encoder CC after importing your video final this is to render out the
low resolution video files to use as proxies in Premiere Pro know that once
it is rendered Premiere will automatically recognizes video files as
proxy files and you will immediately be able to use them in your edit so if you
drag them to your timeline you are immediately working with the proxy video
files now you can click on the plus icon below your program monitor
and drag the toggle proxy button in the menu bar below it toggle in between to
switch from the original footage to a proxy footage and once that is done can
go to the assemble work layout here it's very handy to assemble everything and
keeps everything organized once again before you start editing preparation is
really key when you start on an edit I like to change my thumbnails to the
maximum size and scroll through them by just hovering over them and see which
video files I like and don't like if I am 100% sure that I don't need a video
file I will just simply delete it out of my project it's unnecessary to keep
files that you're not going to be using it's just in the way
also because we converted all the files to proxies scrolling will go a lot
smoother and thumbnails awesome in these thumbnails you can also set your end and
add points already which is also really nice if you can already get like a basic
idea of how you want to edit things and if you don't know what this is again I
would recommend you to check out the video and organizing as it's all
explained and there the next step is once you use a video file and it's
already in your edit you can hide it in the project panel this will make it a
little bit easier to see which files you didn't use yet and what you did
you can do this by simply right-clicking on a video file and select hide you can
always go back and select view hidden by right clicking in the project panel and
select view hidden and now you see all the video files again adjustment layers
and toggling between effects is also a great way to boost your productivity
if you cooperate your footage use an adjustment layer on top of your video
file this way you can call rate multiple videos at one time and you can always in
toggle the adjustment layer for faster playback if you have a lot of effects in
your scene this can slow down your preview tremendously and sometimes it's
just not necessary to see them while editing so you just want to toggle them
off you can easily go again to that plus icon that we talked about before in this
video and once you click on there you see an effects button you can also drag
this one in the menu of the program monitor and now you can toggle on and
off your effects within the project for a smooth playback another great tip is
giving your videos a label called and the time line this way you can
easily see which shots are wished for example your intro has a particular
courrier midsection has a particular color and your end section now you can
easily see where your intro is and where your mid part is you can also take it a
step further and color code your B row in a particular core we can also do this
in each different project that you do and now you will always know that red is
your establishing shots for example green is your close-ups gray yellow is
your b-roll everything that is maybe orange is your
most important section that's your main video and that's a really interesting
way to edit I really love working with these core labels it keeps everything so
organized and I already remember for example each of my projects all my
establishing shots are red so if I have to change something in the establishing
shop I just go to the red location and that's really interesting if you are
going for more complex videos even in my youtube videos I like to color code them
you can also add these core codes to particular hot keys on your keyboard so
you don't have to always right-click label color and then select a color all
right so that's it for this video I hope you enjoyed watching it if you did give
