VIDEO EDITING TOTURIALS

DIGITAL VIDEO TUTORIALS

SOME PREMIERE / VIDEO LANGUAGE

  • Footage: Video clips, straight from the camera, that get brought into your Premiere Project / Sequence
  • .prproj: A proprietary Premiere project file, like a Lightroom catalog (.lrcat), that contains all elements of your video project, including footage (video clip files), sound files, sequences, and project metadata.
  • Sequence: A project scene or timeline, where clips are brought together and edited in time.
  • Bin: A folder in your Premiere project (viewable in the Project panel), where you organize different elements such as Footage, Sound, and Sequences.
  • J-Cut: An editing technique where sound comes into the scene before the video to clip which it relates.
  • L-Cut: An editing technique where sound reamins in the scene after the video clip to which it relates.
  • Color Grading: Adjusting the look of your video in a similar way to how you adjust still images in Lightroom: changing tonality, color balance, contrast, hue, saturation, etc.
  • Lumetri Color: Adobe Premiere’s color grading tool, which resembles Lightroom’s Develop module for processing still images.
  • Rendering: Exporting your Premiere Sequence into a final video to be viewed via web/screen. For this class, we render .mp4’s, which you can think of as the moving image version of a JPEG.
  • Scrubbing: Moving around your timeline: Dragging the Premiere playhead through your timelie to quickly move through your scene rather than watching it play back in real time.
  • “JKL” editing: Using the J, K, and L kets on your keyboard to play (shuttle) backward )left) in real time, pause, or play (shuttle) forward in real time, respectively.
