So, i'm just going to say this is the video that literally taught me how to edit videos. And then I landed a high paying job, thank you so much for putting this out there. You need to see things I'm doing. I edited a documentary and I got a raise.
Lila, you're the real MVP. I spent so many months overwhelmed by other tutorials and paying for adobe without being able to use it. Now I've watched this twice and am almost done with my edit. I look forward to filming now and footage not sitting on my hard drive or trying to explain to editors what I want and paying them $$$. Thank you! I would totally pay for a course you create in the future.
Thanks so much, that means a lot! I would love to make a course in the future, it's definitely on my list. Could you shoot me an email if you're open to be contacted once I start that process? Maybe to ask for feedback or suggestions? I could totally shoot you an email but I don't want to compromise your privacy :) hello@lila.media
I’ve opened and closed it SEVERAL times. The moment that I get the courage to try it again, I open it, get immediately overwhelmed and close it. Your video put things in layman’s terms and you didn’t go so fast that if I blinked, I missed it. Thanks!!!!
Haha I've been there too, Yolanda!! I'm happy this video is helpful for you 😊 welcome to the wonderful world of editing! Enjoy! If you have any questions, please feel free to drop a comment :)
Thank you!! This was by far and away the best tutorial on Premiere Pro without all the unneeded fluff! So many of your tips and pointers are missing from other TH-cam tutorials and I’ve watched most of them as I transition from Vegas to Premiere…thanks again! 😁👍🏻
Great video Lila! I have a college assignment due soon for an Advanced TV Broadcasting module. I'll be sharing this video with my class. Everything explained perfectly, makes the project much less daunting and more exciting! Thanks Lila.
Looooved it! I am a total newbie to Premier Pro and video editing - just wanted to learn it myself instead of paying someone. This video gave me a great start!
That's great to hear!! Btw if you want you can customise your keyboard settings - there's an option to change the shortcuts to FCPX so you don't need to go through the process of learning all the new shortcuts. I believe it's under edit > Keyboard customisation :)
Aw thank you so much Lila! I had to use Premiere Pro for my Digital class to make a video, and this helped so much! It's nice that you assume that we don't know ANYTHING (which I don't) Some other video's skip some important steps.
I was very much enjoying your video when I noticed your a small channel. I did so not expect that. I love the way you edited your vid,and the fast way you explain. I really look forward to watching your future videos on video editing! I just started my multimedia career,and I would really love to learn from you. Good Vides everyone! Keep up the good work!
I'm only halfway through the video and I'm writing this comment, this is the best beginning tutorial I've seen yet. She talks at a good pace, communicates things clear, her video isn't tiny, and she shows both the regular way and shortcut for several things.
Aw thanks Kyndra, I really appreciate it. I'm thinking of doing an updated video soon, so if you have some suggestions or are missing things in this video, I will take some notes 😁 thanks so much for your in depth comment, again, I really appreciate that.
It is this easy! I actually made an updated version of this video with a few more tips and tricks if you're interested! th-cam.com/video/0lizJ0Iz45k/w-d-xo.html
This helped me so much. I've had an edit I had meant to do a LONG time ago, and it was stressing me out. This video got me back up to speed really fast and gave me a quick start. You made me a life a lot easier.
Yeah I was using Resolve too. I quite like their UI actually, it was a little harder using Premiere, but I'm on a university course now and need to use it...
Do you mean you need to use premiere at uni? If there's anything I can help you with let me know!! I'll try to make your premiere experience better haha
I edit my videos with DaVinci resolve 16 but my friend said that Premiere Pro is better so go here to download premiere pro for free: th-cam.com/video/EMic2n7qMcE/w-d-xo.html
One year ago, I was really a beginner in editing at first and I literally didn't even know how to cut and edit clips, so I thought of giving Movavi video editor a try. It was easy to learn as a beginner and I could master editing in that in a few months. Slowly as time passed I thought why not experiment on Adobe Premiere Pro as I have started editing well and so I thought of giving it a try. Then suddenly I remembered when Nick Nimmin and Dee Nimmin once mentioned about you in one of their live streams long back that you teach Premiere Pro very well, so I thought of checking your video for learning Premiere Pro from the scratch and not gonna lie, it is really the best ones I have found out here . It is a very easy to follow and well designed tutorial. Thanks a lot Lila.
Wow! I have seen many Premiere Pro videos but you made it look like super easy to use. You covered everything in less than 15 minutes! I like that there was no blah blah or unnecessary info in it. Thanks to you my initial fear of using Pr is now gone.
I just wanted to say another thank you. I’ve been in TV development for years and I can say you’re a super charismatic person. Please keep doing what you’re doing. Love your videos!
Hahaha that’s a cool idea! The opposite of teaching premiere pro. Do you have any videos out yet? I just checked your channel and i just saw videos that were uploaded 8 years ago (OG youtuber alert!)
Good work Lila. I felt exactly the same once I opened adobe premiere. It was so overwhelming and I closed it down and edited elsewhere and I’ve just started my own channel. I’ll be sure to try adobe premiere again after watching your vid x
Stan, We just got our camera 📸 two weeks ago and we about to get this software. So we are going need your video for next couple weeks to help learn about this stuff. Wish us luck
That's awesome guys, woopwoop!! If you haven't gotten Adobe yet and if you want, I have an affiliate link won't cost you anything extra of course 😁 I just get a little commission! Don't feel obligated though!
Are you telling me I spent 1 hour looking for a editing tutorial video and this was at the top the whole time? God my life is wasted.. Thanks Lila for this, helped me a lot x
Thank you so much! I've been using Sony Vegas 15 but honestly, it's very annoying and it crashes a lot so I tried using Premiere but was so confused when I was editing and this was the first thing to pop up! You're a lifesaver, I just subscribed! Keep it up!
Aw thanks so much! fun fact: I started editing in sony vegas too! Well, actually first windows movie maker but then I quickly moved to sony vegas. That's over 10 years ago now, I have no idea what sony vegas looks like now. Good job switching to premiere though, you won't regret it! It's a learning curve for sure but you'll get the hang of it very soon! And if you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment and I'll do my best to help you :)
Hey i have a problem, when i try to put my videos, i cant put my intro, i mean i can but its complicated, i put my video/videos, they are fine, nothing is bad, but when i try to put my intro, i put it in the upper panel, edit the part that I want, and then when I move it on the timeline, it's so thin and I cant edit it or cut it is literally paper thin, even thinner, please help me because I really need to learn how to edit with this and that is the only things stopping me from being a better editor, people still say I'm a good editor, but I dont feel like it so I really wanna be able to edit my videos on premiere, please help. Also keep up the good work :D
Yes you can! I found this on Adobe's website: To copy a transiton to multiple clips: Select multiple edit points in the sequence by dragging a marquee around the edit points, or by using the Shift key with any trim tool.
I was soooo pessimistic when I clicked the video. I was thinking “ why is she so damn happy and smiling so hard” adobe premiere is frustrating for me. But after watching this I’m a little more hopeful. 🥰
hahaha that's great Medusa! I hope we can build some trust that when I say it's easy, it's actually easy :) if you have any questions, I'm happy to help
UNTURNED helper yeah I agree... but I can’t nail the accent. I think it’s maybe Eastern Europe but Lila has lived in the States for ages. I dunno 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Lila I am 59 years old I don’t know photography etc, I made 3 video documentaries with final edit. During this corona crap our library decided they need to make videos, now they have me in a class with twenty somethings virtually and before the course is even ending they want me using Premeire to put out videos! I am in way over my head, yes feeling like the imposter syndrome you spoke about, wait till they find out I can’t do this.. I watch your videos, trying to learn even though the program is at work , you have me lost most of the time BUT I at least am hearing what is possible and will know where to refer to. They want stuff but say I don’t know what I want but when they think of it they want it now, it’s stressful, so I just want to say thank you for making these at least I feel that I have somewhere to turn first. Your amazing, I’m in 🇺🇸 so thank you for helping an old man
Aw thanks Joe! 🙈 I expected it to be 20 minutes, so when I found out it was only 13-14 I was afraid I missed something important, but it seems like I'm fine hahaha
😁 I was so much used to photoshop, so I thought something was missing in the blank screen, I waited for 3 min for panels to open,.... & I had to raise my hand. 😁✋
I didn’t look at all of the features in premiere pro and then just close out and say no because my brother uses it to make his shout films and he showed me a lot of the tools and effects. So when I opened it up, I imported the video, watched this, and then uploaded a video that same day on my channel. Edit: now when I preview my videos it is very, very, very, SUPER laggy at some parts... plz help
I'm uploading a video today where I share some tips that help me keep an organised timeline! In order to keep your project manager organised, you just have to create bins per category
This is awesome! The beginning was super relatable. You may have changed my life entirely by posting this I know have a chance as an editor. I didn’t think I would ever figure out premier pro, your awesome!
Hey laura!! I don't think it's compatible with all the file formats, but it works with most. What are you trying to import so we can try to figure this out together :)
Haha, what I meant was giving it a try is definitely worth the money because that's free. The first 30 days are free, after that you'll have to pay if you want to continue the subscription. You can cancel at any time so it's possible to try it out for free only.
@@tommy2365 hey tommy, it's not an ad, if I was sponsored by them I would've disclosed that :) the link in my description is an affiliate link, meaning I get a little commission if you sign up with my link, but it won't cost any extra. And like I said, it's free for 30 days so you can just test it out and see if you like it without any commitment.
Thank you Lila. I was a linear editor for 30 years, for my wedding business and the government. I totally understood everything you explained. I'll be purchasing Premiere Pro in the near future. Keep up the excellent tutorials.
That's awesome Donald! If I may be so blunt... I would highly appreciate it if you could use the link in my description. That'll give me a little commission when you get an Adobe creative cloud subscription without extra charge and will help me make more videos like these!😊
@@lilafromyoutube I'm so old school Lila! I don't know where your link is. I'm looking to seriously get into vlogging, whatever it's called! Let me ask you this: Tell me Premiere Pro, in your opinion is the way to go. I have to get started soon now that lockdown is easing up. And I'd like your help. I'll help you out too. I did send an email to you in my last message. Thank you Lila. Cold in Canada!
Haha of course my editing program of choice is premiere pro. It offers everything you could possibly need. Here's the link btw geni.us/getcreativecloud There are other editing programmes out there, also simpler ones that may do the job for you. At the end of the day it's all about what you need as an editor and your personal choice. If you have the time and you're really committed to the idea id making videos and wanting to grow, I don't think learning premiere pro would be a bad idea at all!
@@lilafromyoutube I am going to purchase premiere pro for my Windows 8 laptop. Thank you for your assistance. I will subscribe to you once I get started.
Just want to say Thankyou for making this video. This is the very first one I ever commented on, so that should say something. You did a very good job on explaining how everything works even with my very beginners skill set.
I’m literally embarrassed but grateful by how much I learned in this video. I’ve been using premiere for six months or more but really never took the time to learn a lot of the shortcuts. I can’t imagine how much time I’ll save once I take some notes on this. Great video and yes I’d love a video on color correction in premiere 2019 thanks.
I'm so happy to hear this!! Yeah those shortcuts may not seem like total time savers, but adding them all together, it's going to save you a lot of time. Also, I'm not sure if you've seen this, but I did make a video with my favourite keyboard shortcuts. Maybe this will help you some more! th-cam.com/video/yd-sc0jKAGs/w-d-xo.html
@@lilafromyoutube I'll check out that video for sure. So when I work with my footage I already create folders for Images, First Person Footage, BRoll, etc. Assuming if I do that there's no need to create bins, it serves the same purpose right? I just generally import each of these folders and work with the footage that way. Again thanks! Your video today inspired me to spend some time learning Premiere rather than just stumbling around and putting out videos the way I know how.
@@TuckerPearce yes, if you import those folders you're good to go! If you want to step it up even more, you can colour code your footage. I do that when I work on bigger projects, because it's so easy to find certain segments if you assign a colour to it! I also made a video about this (sounds like I'm really selling myself 🤦🏻♀️ I don't mean to) but it's basically a matter of selecting all the clips (e.g. talking shots or b-roll of a particular day or location), right click-> label -> and choose a colour. Super handy!
After the "create new project" i got hella confused for the rest of the video, but i just kept re-watching. Now i have an amazing video thanks to you!!
Great video, I purchased Premier two months ago and every time I attempt to teach myself I close it after 1/2hr out of frustration. Your video was the best to get me started. Thank you! I'm great with Photoshop and Lightroom but Premier seemed to be the boogie man for me....not no more
I'm happy to hear that, David! Learning a new program, especially one with so many features, is challenging. I'm happy to hear you're feeling more comfortable now!
This has been so helpful, I’m having to make a video on a new process for a company in a new role... this is going to be delivered company wide and viewed by the CEO and guess what ...I’ve never done this before... thank you so much for this support it’s really helped me get a basic ready for tomorrow when I get cracking!!
I’ve been using for over 10 years Sony Vegas and now I want to get into more “professional editing” and I got premiere pro. As soon as I opened it, I said the same thing as you! Luckily you’ve made this easy tutorial. Thank you a lot for it!
Hey Jordan, so glad to hear this video helped you! I'm planning on making a part 2 video very soon, so if you have any suggestions or questions, please let me know so I can address them in that video 😊 have fun with premiere!!
I just cannot see WHY when people are offering free TH-cam tutorials talk at a usain bolt speed, showing their super confidence of their ability and jargon terms, Usully I switch off. 4 mins in, I’m still listening 👂 with interest. It makes such a relief to not show off but GIVE A SPOKEN dialogue at a pace people can follow along. Bravo lady, I know some of your earlier videos were san but seed BUT...not this one.... it was teachable so thanks. Having taught in the corporate world for 20 years, this pace is best. Well done. I’ve learnt from this video by the calmness and clear direction. Well done again 👍🏼....
Haha I don't understand that either! Teaching is a skill (as you will know since you've been teaching for 20 years) and a lot of people want to teach but don't know how to effectively share their knowledge. I had a lot of professors who were really good at their profession but just terrible teachers haha. I'm so thankful for all the compliments, thanks Anne Marie! 😊
Great Video Lila - I recently made a switch from Final Cut Pro X to Premiere Pro. Most of the terminology is the same, but this was a great detailed intro to get from start to finish.
That's great! Little tip, in case you're used to FCPX shortcuts. If you want to use the same shortcuts, go to edit > keyboard shortcuts and then select Final Cut Pro X in the dropdown menu next to "keyboard layout Preset" :)
Wow really amazing video! When I first opened up Premiere Pro I felt so overwhelmed but after watching your explanation I feel like I got a handle on this :) Totally gonna subscribe!
I really appreciate this. I've watched other tutorials but this one was most understandable at least for me. When I first started using this program I felt overwhelmed and quite frankly stupid. But now hopefully I won't feel as dumb. Thank you so much.
This video is exactly what I needed to help get started and learn so easily with great explanations. Thank your for taking your time talking and explaining things. By the look of it; you have helped many of us! Keep it up!!!
THANK YOU! This made it soooo much easier for me to create a video. I have used other video editing programs before, but never Premiere Pro. Your video really helped me!
Whoa, how exciting that you switched to premiere pro! I'm happy this video helped you 🤗 have fun editing! If you have any questions, just drop a comment :)
Fantastic video Lila. You're video is far superior to many others in terms of being efficient, and you explained everything very carefully. Well done. One question, I want to color correct or match a clip to another clip that was filmed with a different camera. what's the best way to match up? Thank you.
Use the comparison view so you can put one clip in the one frame as a reference. You can even use the colour match option if you want, it often works quite well! I made a video where I explained the entire colour workspace and I also touch on these subjects. th-cam.com/video/x-Bj9wJu3lo/w-d-xo.html Edit; woops I just saw that you already watched that video. Is your question answered? :)

Aw thanks so much! fun fact: I started editing in sony vegas too! Well, actually first windows movie maker but then I quickly moved to sony vegas. That's over 10 years ago now, I have no idea what sony vegas looks like now. Good job switching to premiere though, you won't regret it! It's a learning curve for sure but you'll get the hang of it very soon! And if you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment and I'll do my best to help you :)
Started watching you last month and I have nothing but good feedback for you. Learning everything from you for music videos and title help
Thanks so much! That's so great to hear 😁

Hey i have a problem, when i try to put my videos, i cant put my intro, i mean i can but its complicated, i put my video/videos, they are fine, nothing is bad, but when i try to put my intro, i put it in the upper panel, edit the part that I want, and then when I move it on the timeline, it's so thin and I cant edit it or cut it is literally paper thin, even thinner, please help me because I really need to learn how to edit with this and that is the only things stopping me from being a better editor, people still say I'm a good editor, but I dont feel like it so I really wanna be able to edit my videos on premiere, please help. Also keep up the good work :D
Either double click on the track or click on the line (i believe the upper line of the track) and then drag it up to make the track bigger
@@alonelydoggo1115 or make sure its an mp4 video or it wont
Thank you for such a nice way to help out people!! As i am 1 of them, I owe 1! 👌✌
aw, you're very welcome!! And you don't owe me anything, haha!
@@lilafromyoutube No I Do and will tag you on my 1st pro video .. many thankx merry Xmas /\
Lila, perfect tutorial! Quick question though. Is there a way to paste one transition from clip to clip in the whole video??
Yes you can! I found this on Adobe's website: To copy a transiton to multiple clips: Select multiple edit points in the sequence by dragging a marquee around the edit points, or by using the Shift key with any trim tool.
Best video I've seen on making this digestible fast. U Def have a skill for effective communication
oh thanks so much!!
Lila, you make it all make sense and easy to understand what you're teaching! Keeping bringing that 🔥 girl, so loving your channel.
Thanks Chadlee, I appreciate it! If you have any questions, let me know!
I was soooo pessimistic when I clicked the video. I was thinking “ why is she so damn happy and smiling so hard” adobe premiere is frustrating for me. But after watching this I’m a little more hopeful. 🥰
hahaha that's great Medusa! I hope we can build some trust that when I say it's easy, it's actually easy :) if you have any questions, I'm happy to help
Let’s play a game: where is the accent from?
I’ll start. Irish American. 🧐
I'm gonna pin this comment! Let's see!
Matt Cook She's really not American but she speaks in an American accent
@@unturnedhelper3495 so where is my accent from?
UNTURNED helper yeah I agree... but I can’t nail the accent. I think it’s maybe Eastern Europe but Lila has lived in the States for ages. I dunno 🤷🏻♂️🤣
@@MattCassCook 😂
Thank you so much, I finally understand now :D
Yay!!! Have fun editing this weekend :)
Great video! I wish I could give an award for the simplest yet accurate and deep understanding video.
You're eyes🥺...they hypnotized me
I'll accept a virtual award too, hahaha. I'm glad it was helpful!
Lila I am 59 years old I don’t know photography etc, I made 3 video documentaries with final edit. During this corona crap our library decided they need to make videos, now they have me in a class with twenty somethings virtually and before the course is even ending they want me using Premeire to put out videos! I am in way over my head, yes feeling like the imposter syndrome you spoke about, wait till they find out I can’t do this..
I watch your videos, trying to learn even though the program is at work , you have me lost most of the time BUT I at least am hearing what is possible and will know where to refer to.
They want stuff but say I don’t know what I want but when they think of it they want it now, it’s stressful, so I just want to say thank you for making these at least I feel that I have somewhere to turn first. Your amazing, I’m in 🇺🇸 so thank you for helping an old man
Your a Pro Lila, a natural Pro, great tutorial and yes barely 14 min.
Aw thanks Joe! 🙈 I expected it to be 20 minutes, so when I found out it was only 13-14 I was afraid I missed something important, but it seems like I'm fine hahaha
@@lilafromyoutube it went by so fast, left you wanting more.
@@ehJoe 😂😂😂
😁 I was so much used to photoshop, so I thought something was missing in the blank screen, I waited for 3 min for panels to open,.... & I had to raise my hand. 😁✋
hahahahha
I didn’t look at all of the features in premiere pro and then just close out and say no because my brother uses it to make his shout films and he showed me a lot of the tools and effects. So when I opened it up, I imported the video, watched this, and then uploaded a video that same day on my channel.
Edit: now when I preview my videos it is very, very, very, SUPER laggy at some parts... plz help
Check out this playlist where I share tips to make premiere pro fast :) th-cam.com/play/PLFEv6FWg8cTaa_3EgEjOtgcVBiMe_l0VN.html
girl thank you so much! I'm in the process of making my very first video and you made premiere pro look way easier :)
Yay! So glad it made things easier! have fun making your very first video 😁
I just got Premiere Pro today!! I’m so glad I landed onto your video!! Will be watching more of these videos no doubt!
Yay!!! Welcome to premiere!!!
Lila: as you can se now it’s nice and organized like we want
Me: *looks in room*
Me:
This video isn’t for me ;-;
😂👏
Honestly...i raised my hand!
And i dont know why
Hahaha ✋✋
The only problem I have is getting and being organized with my files while I’m working on a project
I'm uploading a video today where I share some tips that help me keep an organised timeline! In order to keep your project manager organised, you just have to create bins per category
So helpful! Thank you. You answered so many of my questions in one quick video. You rock!!
So happy to hear it!
This is awesome! The beginning was super relatable. You may have changed my life entirely by posting this I know have a chance as an editor. I didn’t think I would ever figure out premier pro, your awesome!
i have a video assignment due tomorrow, hhhhhhhhhhh thank youuuu
Oh my!!! I hope you can make it 😁
I don't even have premiere pro, why am I watching this
LOL, you tell me!
Hi! I'm trying to import file but I received "file import failure" how to solve it?
What kind of file is it? Mp4, mov?
Lila does premiere pro not work with certain video types? I’ve gotten this message as well.
Hey laura!! I don't think it's compatible with all the file formats, but it works with most. What are you trying to import so we can try to figure this out together :)
I just got my pc and this is the first thing I ever watched on youtube lol because I was so excited! Thank youuuu! You deserve more subs! Goodluck!
Hahaha that's so cool!! You're very welcome, have fun with your new computer!!
Thank you so much! I've tried looking at some other intros but all of them are too complicated for a beginner like me. You were super helpful!
I'm happy you found one that works for you and even happier that it's mine 😁
Thanks a lot, i was about to uninstall.
I'm happy you didn't!
@@lilafromyoutube lol
"Definitely worth the money, because its free." .....okay so is it free or is it not free??
Haha, what I meant was giving it a try is definitely worth the money because that's free. The first 30 days are free, after that you'll have to pay if you want to continue the subscription. You can cancel at any time so it's possible to try it out for free only.
Lila #ad ??
@@tommy2365 hey tommy, it's not an ad, if I was sponsored by them I would've disclosed that :) the link in my description is an affiliate link, meaning I get a little commission if you sign up with my link, but it won't cost any extra. And like I said, it's free for 30 days so you can just test it out and see if you like it without any commitment.
Lila okay I was just asking, and this video helped a lot with my first edit, good work
So glad to hear it!
Omg the intro is exactly me but I have opened like 10’ times and got scared 😱😭
Hahaha so relatable. I hope you did open it again and actually tried the things I showed! 💪
I just learned more in 13 minutes than I have in my 3 months of trying to edit my vlog content. You're truly an angel!
THIS is awesome! Let's go!
Thank you Lila. I was a linear editor for 30 years, for my wedding business and the government. I totally understood everything you explained. I'll be purchasing Premiere Pro in the near future. Keep up the excellent tutorials.
That's awesome Donald! If I may be so blunt... I would highly appreciate it if you could use the link in my description. That'll give me a little commission when you get an Adobe creative cloud subscription without extra charge and will help me make more videos like these!😊
@@lilafromyoutube I'm so old school Lila! I don't know where your link is. I'm looking to seriously get into vlogging, whatever it's called! Let me ask you this: Tell me Premiere Pro, in your opinion is the way to go. I have to get started soon now that lockdown is easing up. And I'd like your help. I'll help you out too. I did send an email to you in my last message. Thank you Lila. Cold in Canada!
Haha of course my editing program of choice is premiere pro. It offers everything you could possibly need. Here's the link btw geni.us/getcreativecloud
There are other editing programmes out there, also simpler ones that may do the job for you. At the end of the day it's all about what you need as an editor and your personal choice. If you have the time and you're really committed to the idea id making videos and wanting to grow, I don't think learning premiere pro would be a bad idea at all!
@@lilafromyoutube I am going to purchase premiere pro for my Windows 8 laptop. Thank you for your assistance. I will subscribe to you once I get started.
when I tried to add a transition, the effects option wasn't there
If you go to window > effects it should open up the effects tab for you :)

This video is so helpful! I really learned a lot for professional and personal use. But, also you're so damn cute
Thank you! I'm glad the video is so helpful for you! Let's make some $$$
As someone who is about to edit my very first video, this was so so sooo helpful! Thank you!
Oh so exciting!! Have fun editing 😁 If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment :)
Just want to say Thankyou for making this video. This is the very first one I ever commented on, so that should say something. You did a very good job on explaining how everything works even with my very beginners skill set.
Omg first 😂
HAHAHAHA omg Dan 😂😂😂
okay that was really helpful! I was using premier on a whim and you solved most of the problems I was wondering how to do! thank you
🙏🏻🥳
I’m literally embarrassed but grateful by how much I learned in this video. I’ve been using premiere for six months or more but really never took the time to learn a lot of the shortcuts. I can’t imagine how much time I’ll save once I take some notes on this. Great video and yes I’d love a video on color correction in premiere 2019 thanks.
I'm so happy to hear this!! Yeah those shortcuts may not seem like total time savers, but adding them all together, it's going to save you a lot of time. Also, I'm not sure if you've seen this, but I did make a video with my favourite keyboard shortcuts. Maybe this will help you some more! th-cam.com/video/yd-sc0jKAGs/w-d-xo.html
@@lilafromyoutube I'll check out that video for sure. So when I work with my footage I already create folders for Images, First Person Footage, BRoll, etc. Assuming if I do that there's no need to create bins, it serves the same purpose right? I just generally import each of these folders and work with the footage that way. Again thanks! Your video today inspired me to spend some time learning Premiere rather than just stumbling around and putting out videos the way I know how.
@@TuckerPearce yes, if you import those folders you're good to go! If you want to step it up even more, you can colour code your footage. I do that when I work on bigger projects, because it's so easy to find certain segments if you assign a colour to it! I also made a video about this (sounds like I'm really selling myself 🤦🏻♀️ I don't mean to) but it's basically a matter of selecting all the clips (e.g. talking shots or b-roll of a particular day or location), right click-> label -> and choose a colour. Super handy!
After the "create new project" i got hella confused for the rest of the video, but i just kept re-watching. Now i have an amazing video thanks to you!!
I'm glad to read you figured it out. Is there anything I could improve on for future videos? I'm open for feedback!
Great video, I purchased Premier two months ago and every time I attempt to teach myself I close it after 1/2hr out of frustration. Your video was the best to get me started. Thank you! I'm great with Photoshop and Lightroom but Premier seemed to be the boogie man for me....not no more
I'm happy to hear that, David! Learning a new program, especially one with so many features, is challenging. I'm happy to hear you're feeling more comfortable now!
This has been so helpful, I’m having to make a video on a new process for a company in a new role... this is going to be delivered company wide and viewed by the CEO and guess what ...I’ve never done this before... thank you so much for this support it’s really helped me get a basic ready for tomorrow when I get cracking!!
oh my gosh!! that's amazing, well done Ellie!
Big sister. This is so helpful !!! Thanks !!!
You're very welcome!!
Just downloaded Premier Pro last week and was COMPLETELY intimidated by it (coming from iMovie) - I'm so glad I found your tutorial - new subbie!
Yay, nice to meet you new subbie! And good luck with premiere, i'm here if you have any questions!
I’ve been using for over 10 years Sony Vegas and now I want to get into more “professional editing” and I got premiere pro. As soon as I opened it, I said the same thing as you! Luckily you’ve made this easy tutorial. Thank you a lot for it!
Hey Jordan, so glad to hear this video helped you! I'm planning on making a part 2 video very soon, so if you have any suggestions or questions, please let me know so I can address them in that video 😊 have fun with premiere!!
@@lilafromyoutube Same here, I've been using Vegas for more than 20 years, and only changing because the rest of the world seems to use this :-(
I just cannot see WHY when people are offering free TH-cam tutorials talk at a usain bolt speed, showing their super confidence of their ability and jargon terms, Usully I switch off. 4 mins in, I’m still listening 👂 with interest. It makes such a relief to not show off but GIVE A SPOKEN dialogue at a pace people can follow along. Bravo lady, I know some of your earlier videos were san but seed BUT...not this one.... it was teachable so thanks. Having taught in the corporate world for 20 years, this pace is best. Well done. I’ve learnt from this video by the calmness and clear direction. Well done again 👍🏼....
Haha I don't understand that either! Teaching is a skill (as you will know since you've been teaching for 20 years) and a lot of people want to teach but don't know how to effectively share their knowledge. I had a lot of professors who were really good at their profession but just terrible teachers haha. I'm so thankful for all the compliments, thanks Anne Marie! 😊
Thank you for your help, first time user of premier pro. Time to play with the effects and see what we can do.
Have fun! All my tutorials are very beginner friendly so I hope they are just as helpful as this one :) If you need any help, give me a shout.
Great Video Lila - I recently made a switch from Final Cut Pro X to Premiere Pro. Most of the terminology is the same, but this was a great detailed intro to get from start to finish.
That's great! Little tip, in case you're used to FCPX shortcuts. If you want to use the same shortcuts, go to edit > keyboard shortcuts and then select Final Cut Pro X in the dropdown menu next to "keyboard layout Preset" :)
Wow really amazing video! When I first opened up Premiere Pro I felt so overwhelmed but after watching your explanation I feel like I got a handle on this :) Totally gonna subscribe!
So nice to meet you!
I really appreciate this. I've watched other tutorials but this one was most understandable at least for me. When I first started using this program I felt overwhelmed and quite frankly stupid. But now hopefully I won't feel as dumb. Thank you so much.
This video is exactly what I needed to help get started and learn so easily with great explanations. Thank your for taking your time talking and explaining things. By the look of it; you have helped many of us! Keep it up!!!
Thank you!! I'm happy that this video helps so many :)
THANK YOU! This made it soooo much easier for me to create a video. I have used other video editing programs before, but never Premiere Pro. Your video really helped me!
Whoa, how exciting that you switched to premiere pro! I'm happy this video helped you 🤗 have fun editing! If you have any questions, just drop a comment :)
Moved over from FCP to PP. Needed something quick to get me orientated. Really helpful, thanks. Great jumper by the way.
Happy to help! And yeah it’s comfi!
Lila, I love your video. For a beginner like myself, this is just what I was looking for. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos!
Perfect, i'm so happy to hear it!
When I first opened premiere pro , I was too much confused , after your video I knew how to edit with it , thank you so much .❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's so great to hear, happy the video helped!!
Fantastic video Lila. You're video is far superior to many others in terms of being efficient, and you explained everything very carefully. Well done. One question, I want to color correct or match a clip to another clip that was filmed with a different camera. what's the best way to match up? Thank you.
Use the comparison view so you can put one clip in the one frame as a reference. You can even use the colour match option if you want, it often works quite well! I made a video where I explained the entire colour workspace and I also touch on these subjects. th-cam.com/video/x-Bj9wJu3lo/w-d-xo.html
Edit; woops I just saw that you already watched that video. Is your question answered? :)
