This movie introduces the robust audio tools in Premiere Pro. Abba Shapiro shows how to preview and trim audio in the Source Monitor. Whether it’s an audio-only file or the audio channel of a video clip, Abba shows how to enable sub-frame audio scrubbing and trimming. He also shows how to interpret clips to combine or separate stereo channels. At the same time, he introduces fundamental audio tools that are essential to working with audio in Premiere Pro.

There is a lot of information about clips and sequences to be found in the Timeline with a few clicks. This movie demonstrates how to show and hide essential information that will help with the decision-making process during editing. This includes audio waveforms and keyframe controls right in the Timeline. It also covers different options for thumbnail previews of the clips in the Timeline and methods for enlarging and shrinking certain areas of the Timeline for greater control.

When it comes to performing precise edits without changing the timing of other clips on the Timeline, a three-point edit is a mainstay. Abba Shapiro shows how to perform a three-point edit to place a clip into the Timeline in an exact potion with an exact trim length.

In this movie, it’s time to get started with an editing project. The first step is to import media—all of the raw video, photographs, and audio that will be edited together into a final movie. Abba Shapiro demonstrates how to import individual files, or complete folders full of media. He explains how files are stored and linked to a project. He also demonstrates how to browse and preview clips on the hard drive before importing them into Premiere Pro.

The Timeline is where clips are edited together to create a complete narrative. In this movie, Abba Shapiro demonstrates the basic techniques to get started trimming clips and laying them out in the Timeline. He starts by browsing clips in the Project panel. Then he previews and trims clips in the Source Monitor before adding them into the Timeline to begin an edit.

Before getting started in Premiere Pro, it’s important to get familiar with the core interface. In this movie, Abba Shapiro identifies the four primary windows—the Source Monitor, the Program Monitor, the Timeline, and the Project panel. He discusses the roles that each of these panels play in organizing, previewing, marking, laying out, and editing video.
