Keyframe Editing - Premiere Pro

2018-04-24T21:59:44Z

Chaisa29: /* Select Keyframes */

Keyframes can be used to change values over time for various effects.

A keyframe marks the point in time where you specify a value, such as spatial position, opacity, or audio volume. Values between keyframes are interpolated. To create a change in a property over time, you set at least two keyframes—one keyframe for the value at the beginning of the change, and another keyframe for the value at the end of the change.

==Effects Control Panel==
===View Keyframes===

# Select a clip in the '''Timeline''' panel.
# Click on the '''Effects Controls''' panel.
#* If necessary, click the '''Show/Hide Timeline View''' button in the '''Effect Controls''' panel to show the effects timeline.
#* Show [[File:Pp_show_timeline_view.png]] ----- Hide [[File:Pp_hide_timeline_view.png]]
# Click the triangle to the left of the effect name to expand the effect you want to view. Any existing keyframes will display in the '''Effect Controls timeline'''.
# To view the '''Value''' and '''Velocity''' graphs of an effect property, click the triangle next to the '''Toggle Animation''' icon [[File:PP_WatchOff_N.png]].[[File:PP_effects_conntrol.png]]

===Navigate Keyframes===
* The left-pointing arrow moves the current-time indicator to the previous keyframe.
* The right-pointing arrow moves the current-time indicator to the next keyframe.
* Shift-drag the Playhead to snap to a keyframe.

===Add Keyframes===
# Click the triangle to expand the effect property and display its Value and Velocity graphs.
# Move the playhead to the point in time where you want to add a keyframe.
# Click the '''Add/Remove Keyframe''' button [[File:PP_KeyNav_N.png]] and then adjust the effect property’s value.
#* Adjusting the controls for an effect’s property will automatically create a keyframe at the current time if there is no keyframe.
# Repeat as needed to add keyframes and adjust the effect property.

===Select Keyframes===
* Click on a keyframe to select it.
* Shift-click to select multiple contiguous or noncontiguous keyframes.
* Click and drag to select multiple contiguous keyframes.
* Click the layer property name to select all keyframes for a property.

===Delete Keyframes===
* Select one or more keyframes and choose '''Edit > Clear'''. You can also press '''Delete'''.

* Navigate the playhead to a keyframe and click the '''Add/Remove Keyframe''' button [[File:PP_KeyNav_N.png]].

* To delete all keyframes for an effect property, click the '''Toggle Animation''' button [[File:PP_WatchOff_N.png]] to the left of the name of the effect or property. When prompted to confirm your decision, click OK.

===Modify Keyframe Values===
* Click and drag a keyframe in the '''Value''' graph.
* Put the playhead over the keyframe to be modified and adjust the property value by clicking and dragging the number left or right.

==Timeline Panel==
===View Keyframes===
'''Time Display Settings''' is the '''Wrench''' icon in the top left of the '''Timelines''' panel
* Expand the view of a track, if necessary, by clicking the '''Wrench''' icon and select '''Expand All tracks'''
* Show video keyframes by clicking the '''Wrench''' icon and select '''Show Video Keyframes'''
* Show audio keyframes by clicking the '''Wrench''' icon and select '''Show Audio Keyframes'''

* For a video track, right-click on a video clip and select '''Show Clip Keyframes''' and select
** '''Motion'''
** '''Opacity'''
** '''Time Remapping'''

* For an audio track, right-click on a video clip and select '''Show Clip Keyframes''' and select
** '''Volume'''
** '''Channel Volume'''
** ''''Panner'''

* '''Note''': If no keyframes exist on the track, the rubber band appears as a straight horizontal line across the entire track.

===Navigate Keyframes===
* The left-pointing arrow moves the current-time indicator to the previous keyframe.
* The right-pointing arrow moves the current-time indicator to the next keyframe.

===Add Keyframes===
* Move the playhead to the point in time where you want to add a keyframe and click the '''Add/Remove Keyframe''' [[File:PP_KeyNav_N.png]] button.

* With the '''Pen''' tool click on the keyframe graph. You can add a keyframe anywhere on a graph using Pen tool. It’s not necessary to position the playhead.

===Select Keyframes===
* Use the '''Selection''' tool or the '''Pen''' tool and click on any Keyframe.

* To select multiple keyframes, Shift-click with the '''Selection''' tool or the '''Pen''' tool to select multiple contiguous or noncontiguous keyframes.

** Note: When you position the '''Selection''' or '''Pen''' tool over a keyframe, the pointer appears with a (+) icon.

* To select multiple keyframes by dragging use the Pen tool to draw a marquee selection box around the keyframes. Shift-drag to add more keyframes to an existing selection.

===Delete Keyframes===
* Select one or more keyframes and choose '''Edit > Clear'''. You can also press '''Delete'''.

* Navigate the playhead to the keyframe and click the '''Add/Remove Keyframe''' button.

===Modify Keyframes===
# Use the '''Selection''' or '''Pen''' tool to select one or more Keyframes.
# Position the '''Selection''' or '''Pen''' tool over a keyframe or keyframe segment.
# Drag a keyframe or segment up or down to change the value. As you drag, a tool tip indicates the current value. If no keyframes are present, dragging adjusts the value for the entire clip or track.
# Drag a keyframe left or right to change the time location of the keyframe. As you drag, a tool tip indicates the current time. If you move a keyframe onto another keyframe, the new keyframe replaces the old one.

** The '''Value''' and '''Velocity''' graphs in the '''Effect Controls''' panel will show changes made to keyframes in a '''Timeline''' panel.

==Keyframe Interpolation==
===Interpolation Types===
In the '''Effects Control''' panel or the '''Timeline''' panel right click on a keyframe marker to chage the interpolation method.

* '''Linear''': Creates a uniform rate of change between keyframes.

* '''Bezier''': Lets you manually adjust the shape of the graph, and the rate of change, on either side of a keyframe. You can create very smooth changes using this method.

* '''Auto Bezier''': Creates a smooth rate of change through a keyframe. As you change a keyframe’s value, the Auto Bezier direction handles change to maintain a smooth transition between keyframes.

* '''Continuous Bezier''': Creates a smooth rate of change through a keyframe. However, unlike the Auto Bezier interpolation method, Continuous Bezier lets you adjust direction handles manually. As you change the shape of a graph on one side of a keyframe, the shape on the other side of the keyframe changes to maintain a smooth transition.

* '''Hold''': Changes a property value without gradual transition (sudden effect changes). The graph following a keyframe with the Hold interpolation applied appears as a horizontal straight line.

* '''Ease In''': Slows down the value changes entering a keyframe.

* '''Ease Out''': Gradually accelerates the value changes leaving a keyframe.

===Adjust Bezier handles===

# Display the '''Bezier''' keyframe you want to adjust.
# Select the the '''Selection''' tool or the '''Pen''' tool.
# To adjust the slope of the curve, drag the '''Bezier''' handle up or down. Moving the handle up accelerates the changes and moving the handle down decelerates the changes.
# To adjust the range of the curve’s influence, drag the '''Bezier''' handle to the left or right.

===Velocity Graph===
In the '''Effect Controls''' panel, you can use the '''Velocity''' graph to adjust motion or the rate of change for a value just before and just after a keyframe. Such adjustments can simulate real-world motion. For example, you can change the motion of a clip so that it slows down just before a keyframe and then speeds up just after the keyframe. You can control the values approaching and leaving a keyframe together, or you can control each value separately.

Chaisa29: /* What is Premiere Pro */

==What is Premiere Pro==

Premiere Pro is a non-destructive, non-linear video editing application.

The interface is comprised of a series of windows called "panels" that can be modified to create different "work spaces".

It follows the basic design of most editing software:
* '''Sequence''': where audio and video clips are edited together on tracks.
* '''Timeline''' panel: where you will edit the content in a '''Sequence'''.
* '''Project''' panel: where you can view all of the assets you have brought into a project.
* '''Source Monitor''': where you can view assets and set in and out points before bringing them into a '''Sequence'''.
* '''Program Monitor''': where you see the video that has been placed into the '''Sequence''' which is open in the '''Timeline'''.
* You can have multiple '''Sequences''' in one '''Project''' and '''Timeline''' window.
* '''Media Browser''' window: which gives you Finder like access to your media, allowing you to easily preview and import media from any source.

* '''Media''' files are the actual information that you filmed in the camera. They are stored on your folder on the Storage drive.
* '''Clips''' are like pointers or representations that symbolize the information.
** This means that you can change the length of a clip in your timeline without altering the media. You can also cut a clip into several pieces and use them in different parts of your film. The media files will not be modified.
** This also means that you must preserve the relationship between the clip and the media. Premiere Pro has to be able to find the media that goes with your clip. If for some reason you change the location of the media, Premiere Pro will not be able to to locate it, and the clip will go blank and say "Media offline". It's possible to reconnect it if you've labeled things correctly--ask a lab aide for help.
* '''Project file''': contains all the information about the clips you've logged and transferred, and the work you've done in the timeline. It is like a '''Recipe''' that tells Premiere Pro what ingredients you used and how you put them together.
* '''In-Points''' and '''Out-Points''': These set the beginning and end of the part of a clip that will be used.
* '''Playhead''': Shows the location of the current frame in any windows time ruler. Sometimes it is also called the '''Current-Time Indicator''' ('''CTI''').

----

==File Organization==

It is '''important''' to organize your media and project files.
* Misplaced files will slow you down when you most need to work quickly.
*Misplaced files will devour countless hours of your life.
* It is really pretty easy to keep everything organized if you follow these simple steps

===File Management===
* These steps apply the first time you start a project. For returning to a project, see below.
# Create a folder in on the '''Desktop''' on your computer. Name it something you will remember. Do '''not''' use special characters other than dash or underscore.
# Create 4 (or more) subfolders for your media files, and for Premiere's needs. Label them: Video, Audio, Stills, and Premiere_Files
# Move '''ALL''' of your media from flash cards, other servers, cameras, recorders, whatever, into the appropriate folder, i.e., move all of your video files into the "Video" folder, audio & music files into the "Audio" folder, etc.
# After you have consolidated all of your files in to these folders, you should now '''disconnect or eject all servers & memory cards'''. This will prevent you from inadvertently trying to work directly from a troublesome source.

===When you are done editing for the day===
# Save & quit '''Premiere Pro'''
# Connect to your share on '''Orca''', another server or an external hard rive.
# In the '''Finder''', find your project folder on the '''Desktop'''.
# Move your project folder to your server storage share
# Your project folder is now safely stored and ready to use on your next editing session.

===To work with an existing project===
Once you have created a project, stored all of your assets in a folder and then stored that folder on a network share, the next time you want to use that project is easy-peasy.
# Connect to your network share (Orca, Rosebud, etc)
# Drag your project folder to the '''Desktop''' folder on your local computer
# Disconnect from the network share once the transfer is complete
# Double click on your project file
# Rinse & repeat!

----

==Starting A New Project==

====General====
* '''Video Display Format: Timecode'''
* '''Audio Display Format: Milliseconds'''
* '''Capture:''' This setting is only applies if you are capturing from DV or HDV tape. When using file based video this can be ignored.

====Scratch Disks====

Here is where we get to use the '''Premiere_Files''' folder that we created earlier.

#'''Captured Video''' should get set to the "Video" folder inside your project folder.
#'''Captured Audio''' should get set to the "Audio" folder inside your project folder.
#'''Video Previews''' should be set to "Premiere_Files". You do not need to know anything about these files. Putting them in "Premiere_Files" just keeps them organized out of your way.
#'''Audio Previews''' should also be set to "Premiere_Files".

====Location====
# Click the '''Browse''' button.
# Navigate to the project folder you created earlier.
# Give your project an awesome name & hit '''Okay'''!

===New Sequence Settings===

It is easier to import your files into Premiere before creating a new sequence.

# Import your video files into the project.
# Pick a file which represents the majority of your files (in terms of dimensions, frame rate, compression etc).
# Select that file in the '''Project''' panel. Right click and select '''New Sequence From Clip'''.
# A new Sequence will be added to the '''Project''' panel and it will open int the '''Timeline''' panel.
# Change the sequence name to something meaningful by clicking on the sequence name in the '''Project''' panel.

----

==Interface==
Windows are called panels in Premiere.
* Under the '''Windows''' menu you can open various '''panels'''.
* Many windows have a '''Panel Menu''' in the top right corner which can be used to change settings for that window. [[File:Panel_menu_pp.jpg‎‎]]
* Any panel can be expanded to full screen by pressing the '''`''' (tilde) key while the mouse is over that panel. Press the '''`''' key again to return to normal.

===Media Browser===
The '''Media Browser''' is used to browse files on the computer.
* Unlike the '''Import''' dialog box, the '''Media Browser''' can be left open, and docked, like any other panel.
* The '''Media Browser''' gives you quick access to all your assets while you edit.
* When you import an asset Premiere Pro leaves it in its current location, and creates a clip in the Project panel that points to it.
* '''Always''' transfer files from their file-based media to a local hard disk. Then, import them into Premiere Pro projects from the hard disk.

===Project===
The '''Project''' panel shows all of the assets in your project. This includes media files, sequences, titles, sub-clips etc.
* You can view and sort assets in either '''List''' view or '''Icon''' view.
* '''List''' view displays additional information about each asset. You can customize the information it displays to meet the needs of your project.
* '''Icon''' view has the '''Hover Scrub''' feature to preview footage without having to open it into a new window.

===Info===
* Displays several data about a selected item.
* Displays timecode information for clips under the '''Playhead''' in the '''Timeline'''.

===Timeline===
* Displays multiple video and audio tracks running in parallel for the open '''Sequence'''
* You assemble and rearrange sequences in the '''Timeline''' panel where clips, transitions, and effects are represented graphically.

===Tools===
* This panel is for selecting which tool to use in the '''Timeline'''.
* The mouse pointer will change shape when it is over the '''Timeline'''.
* Tool keyboard shortcuts are in parentheses below.

[[File:Tools-premier2018.png|alt=Premier Pro tool bar|right|304x304px]]
A. '''Selection tool (V).''' The default tool, used to select clips in the Timeline.

B. '''Track Select forward tool (A).''' Select all clips on a track from a given point, or select multiple tracks.

C. '''Ripple Edit tool (B).''' Adjust an edit point and move other clips in the timeline to compensate.

D. '''Razor tool (C).''' Cut a clip (or multiple clips) into two clips.

E. '''Slip tool (Y).''' Move a clip's in and out points by the same amount simultaneously, so the rest of the timeline is not affected.

F. '''Pen tool (P).''' Create control (anchor) points for key framing.

G. '''Hand tool (H).''' Drag the timeline view left and right.

H. '''Type tool (T).''' Create a new title slide by drawing a box in your program monitor.

J. '''Rolling Edit tool (N).''' Adjust an edit point between two clips without affecting the rest of the timeline.

K. '''Slide tool (U).''' Move a clip's in and out points by the same amount simultaneously, so the rest of the timeline is not affected.

L. '''Zoom tool (Z).''' Click in the timeline to magnify the view, or drag and select a rectangular area to zoom into.

===Source Monitor===
The '''Source Monitor''' plays back individual clips. In the '''Source Monitor''', you prepare clips that you want to add to a sequence. You set '''In points''' and '''Out points''', and specify the clip’s source tracks (audio or video). You can also insert clip markers and add clips to a sequence in a '''Timeline''' panel.

===Program Monitor===

The '''Program Monitor''' plays back the sequence of clips that you are assembling. It’s your view of the active sequence in a '''Timeline panel'''.

----

==Importing Media==

===Bins===
In the '''Project''' panel you can create folders called '''Bins''' to organize files. '''Bins''' can hold media clips, sequences and other bins.

* Go to '''File > New > Bin'''.
* In the '''Project''' panel Right-Click and select '''New Bin (⌘B)'''
* Give the '''BIn''' a meaningful name.

There are multiple ways to open bins.

* Double-clicking opens a bin in a new window.
* Command-clicking (⌘) opens the bins in the current window.
** Click the icon in the top left of the folder with the arrow to go back to the pervious level.
* Option-clicking open the bin in a new tab.

===Importing Media Files===
* Premiere Pro does not move or copy any files. Files need to be organized before importing.

====In the '''Finder'''====
# Inside your folder on the '''Desktop''' you should have created folders for different types of files; '''Video, Audio, Stills'''.
# Copy any media files into the appropriate folders.
# For the '''Vixia''' Cameras copy the entire '''AVCHD''' folder. Inside the '''Video''' folder create a new folder with a unique and descriptive name for the content anf then copy the '''AVCHD''' folder there.
#* For example: '''Storage/GRUB Project/Video/Interview 4-1-2012/AVCHD'''

====In Premiere Pro====
# In the '''Media Browser''' navigate to your files in your project folder.
# When an '''AVCHD''' folder is opened the view should switch to '''AVCHD'''mode and automatically display the video files.
# Select and drag the clips into an appropriately named bin in the '''Project Panel''' .

==Importing Media==

===Bins===
In the '''Project''' panel you can create folders called '''Bins''' to organize files. '''Bins''' can hold media clips, sequences and other bins.

* Go to '''File > New > Bin'''.
* In the '''Project''' panel Right-Click and select '''New Bin'''.
* Give the '''BIn''' a meaningful name.

There are multiple ways to open bins.

* Double-clicking opens a bin in a new window.
* Command-clicking (⌘) opens the bins in the current window.
** Click the icon in the top left of the folder with the arrow to go back to the pervious level.
* Option-clicking open the bin in a new tab.

===Importing Media Files===

====In the '''Finder'''====
# Inside your folder on the '''Desktop''' you should have created folders for different types of files; '''Video, Audio, Stills'''.
# Copy any media files into the appropriate folders.
# For the '''Vixia''' Cameras copy the entire '''AVCHD''' folder. Inside the '''Video''' folder create a new folder with a unique and descriptive name for the content anf then copy the '''AVCHD''' folder there.
#* For example: '''Storage/GRUB Project/Video/Interview 4-1-2012/AVCHD'''

====In Premiere Pro====
# In the '''Media Browser''' navigate to your files in your project folder.
# When an '''AVCHD''' folder is opened the view should switch to '''AVCHD'''mode and automatically display the video files.
# Select and drag the clips into an appropriately named bin in the '''Project Panel''' .

Audio Levels - Premiere Pro

2018-04-24T20:42:14Z

Chaisa29: /* Creating Keyframes */

===Gain vs Volume===
There are multiple ways to adjust audio levels in Premiere Pro. Premiere uses the term '''gain''' to refer to level in the original file. '''Volume''' refers to the level adjustments to a clip or track in a sequence.

===Audio Gain===
# In the '''Project''' panel or '''Timeline''' select a clip and go to '''Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain...'''.
# The '''Audio Gain''' dialogue will open. It Displays the clips Peak Amplitude at the bottom of the window and has four options.
#* '''Set Gain to''': The gain can be set to a specific value. The value is always updated to the current gain.
#* '''Adjust Gain by''': The gain can be adjusted by + or - a specific decibel value.
#* '''Normalize Max Peak to''': This raises the max peak of the clip to the value set. For example if the peak is -3dB and it is normalized to -1dB the gain would be adjusted by -2 dB. If multiple clips are selected the clip with the max peak will be adjusted to the set value and all the other clips will be adjusted by the same amount preserving their relative gain differences.
#* '''Normalize All Peaks to''': When used with multiple clips, all of the clips will be normalized to the set value.
# Select the desired gain changed and set the value.
# Click '''OK'''

=== Adjusting Audio Levels ===
The levels of audio clips can be adjusted in the '''Timeline'''.
* '''Clip Keyframes''' adjust the level of a clip. The keyframes move with the clip if the clip is moved.
** This what you'll normally use.
* '''Track Keyframes''' adjust keyframes on the track. If a clip is moved the keyframe stay at their place in the track. They do not move with the clip.

====Creating Keyframes====
# Click the '''Wrench''' icon in the top left of the '''Timelines''' panel and select '''Show Audio Keyframes'''.
# Click the '''Wrench''' icon in the top left of the '''Timelines''' panel and select '''Expand All tracks'''.
# Right-click on the clip and select '''Show Clip Keyframes > Volume> Level'''.
# Select the '''Pen Tool''' in the tool bar (press the '''P''' key on the keyboard.)
# Click on the white line on top off the waveform to create a '''Keyframe'''.
# Click and drag to create a '''Keyframe''' and change the levels.

====Adjusting Keyframes====
# To adjust '''Keyframes''' select the '''Selection Tool''' (press the '''V''' key on the keyboard.)
