Linear Editing - the video editing process of selecting,

arranging and modifying images and sound in a
predetermined, ordered sequence.

vs.

Non-Linear Editing - a form of offline editing for audio,

video, and image editing.
For film recording, you would
record onto tape and have to cut it
by hand and arrange it in your
order. You would then glue the
tape back together and that would
be your final video.

This an early form of linear editing

prior to using computer to edit.
Some directors still believe this is
the best way to film a movie.

CC – CREATIVE CLOUD
Creative Cloud allows you to receive
continual updates and provides a location
to store for use across computers or
projects.

You can share your projects amongst

classmates and even your own devices by using
Creative Cloud or sending the project file
through email, OneDrive, Google Drive. You
just need access to the same footage and
assets across the different devices

or transferring your video files to your computer

production are arranged into the proper sequence inside
the project’s timeline.

down using the correct in and out points, and initial
transitions or special effects are added.

Picture Lock Information

Editors move from Final Cut into Picture Lock. No notes

should be addressed in this stage

No changes should be made in picture lock, any changes

can affect the whole post-production process.

Changes after Picture lock can affect budget, deadlines, and

online editing.

Online Editing comes after Picture Lock and can include:

color grading, music composition, visual effects, as well as
audio services (sound design, ADR, Foley, or mixing).

HOW WOULD WE CREATE
A NEW PROJECT IN
ADOBE PREMIERE PRO?

2 ways

Shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + N

Box 13

Always save your projects using One

Drive.

Scratch Disks need to be saved to the

same location as your project on
OneDrive. Scratch disks are the folders
created by our software to save
temporary project data while the
software is running.
There are multiple workspaces to use in
Premiere Pro. A workspace has different
functions that you can use in editing.

There are two ways to go to a specific workspace. You

will jump between each workspace when you are in
different stages of editing. Knowing how to go
between the workspaces is crucial for your certification
exam
 Importing into our project:
3 Importing methods:
• Directly into our Project Panel
• Go to File -> menu –> import
• Shortcut – Ctrl+ I
This means you can either right click inside the
project panel to import, you can drag items in to
import, or you can go up to the top menu File
and choose import

Creating a sequence
You can create as many sequences as you like in a project, but you will
usually work with just one master sequence to create your video.
● Easy way of creating a sequence, is to drag one or more clips over to
the timeline panel when there is no sequences currently open.
● To create a new sequence, click the New Item menu in the Project
panel and choose Sequence from the drop-down menu.
● You can also create a new sequence based on a clip’s properties by
dragging the clip onto the New Item menu in the Project panel.
● You can check the sequence’s frame size and frame rate by viewing it in
the Project panel using List view.
