  • 10 Things Final Cut 7 Switchers Should Know about Premiere Pro CC

    I often get asked by coworkers or colleagues, “What are the main differences between FCP7 and Premiere Pro?” And the truth is, there are a lot of similarities between the two applications, but there are also a ton of little differences. This video features 10 things that I think any new Premiere Pro users should know. This one is definitely on the longer side for our videos, but I think the tips are really helpful. So hangin there, and let us know if have any questions.

    And the synopsis from Premium Beat:

    10 things that FCP7 editors should know about Premiere Pro include:

    1. Scratch disks are project based
    2. There is less transcoding necessary
    3. Setting render codec (codec settings not as ‘important’)
    4. Partial renders on clips are not maintained
    5. Audio tracks are handled differently, stereo is on one track
    6. Premiere Pro has powerful audio sync tools
    7. Changes to simple editing (smoother process in Premiere)
    8. Copy and paste clips onto different tracks
    9. Scrubbing is possible in the Premiere Pro project panel
    10. Batch export in the background while editing

    UPDATE: In terms of batch export, you can now queue it via, cmd-M with multiple clips selected. No more having to drag over to media encoder.

    10 Premiere Pro CC Tips for Final Cut Pro Video Editors

  • Premiere Pro New Features – Nudge Audio Volume with the Keyboard

    Another one that pretty much explains itself in the title. You can now easily make clips louder or quieter without ever grabbing the mouse!

  • Premiere Pro New Features – The Audio Clip Mixer

    Only being able to use your audio mixer to keyframe on the track level wasn’t the greatest.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 – Dealing with Problematic Stereo Audio

    In this video, we go over what it takes to use only one channel of a piece of Stereo Audio, while still keeping it panned to the center.

    With dual system sound so popular, you may have one microphone recording to one channel and another microphone to the other. This will leave you with a piece of stereo audio, that you only want to use half of. In this tutorial, I go over the best way to get rid of the channel that you don’t need, while maintaining audio in both the left and right channels.

  • Premiere Pro CS6- New Audio Setup Part 1

    The audio track setup in Premiere has been completed reworked in CS6.  Stereo and mono tracks are no longer, having been totally replaced by standard tracks, that can hold both stereo and mono audio.  In addition to the new track behavior, Premiere Pro CS6 has been given a new audio meter that is scalable to be anywhere from tiny to as large as full screen.

  • Premiere Pro CS6- New Audio Setup Part 2

    In Part 1 of this series I cover using standard tracks. In this video I cover how to layout multi-track mono splits for 5.1 workflows.  I show you how you can layout splits given to you by a mixer and the best way to set up your tracks and audio mixer panel in Premiere Pro CS6 to insure your tracks are output correctly.

  • Switcher’s Guide to Premiere Pro – Clip Linking and Grouping

    In this Premiere Pro tutorial we compare audio and video linking in Premiere Pro vs. Final Cut Pro.  We also discuss Premiere Pro’s Group Function and how you can use it to extend your timeline functionality.

    In Premiere Pro these are the ways to link audio and video clips together:

    • Use the Clip Menu/Link or Unlink Command to Link 1 piece of Audio with 1 piece of Video.  If the audio is in the video file, they will be linked automatically.
      • If linked, these clips can be temporarily unlinked by holding the alt/opt key and clicking, moving, trimming, or cutting.
    • Use the Clip Menu/Group or Ungroup Command to Link multiple pieces of Audio and/or Video. The clips will be dragged, trimmed (see video for how this works), or slipped together.
      • If grouped, these can also be temporarily ungrouped by holding the alt/opt key and clicking, moving, trimming, or cutting.
    • When comparing Premiere Pro with Final Cut, the real difference is the way you temporarily unlink audio and video (and of course the Group Function, which Final Cut lacks).  In Final Cut, you use the button on the top right of the timeline to turn linking on or off.  In Premiere Pro, you use the alt/opt key.  Depending on the instance, I like each technique, and sometimes I find myself wishing for the other when in the opposite program.  What do you guys think?
