This article is part of a new series of posts with tips and tricks from our producers' experience working with Adobe Premiere Pro after years of working in Final Cut Pro. To read more about why we made the switch, check out this post. Today's post was written by MediaStorm producer Eric Maierson. File this tip under I-should-have-thought-of-this-years-ago. First, some backstory from the MediaStorm Post-production Workflow. At MediaStorm, when we log b-roll we use two specific suffixes to identify our sequences. The first is RAW, which indicates that a timeline contains all the clips from a scene or day of shooting. So if a Finder folder contains clips from day one of shooting at a barn, the Adobe Premiere Pro sequence containing those files will be labeled Barn_01_RAW. We then log these clips, raising selects up one video channel as seen below. Next, we duplicate the sequence and replace the word RAW…

To read more about why we made the switch, check out this post. Today's post was written by MediaStorm producer Eric Maierson. A great new feature in Adobe Premiere Pro CC is the ability to nudge clips up and down tracks using only the keyboard. To set a shortcut, simply open the Premiere Pro > Keyboard Shortcuts… menu. Then, search for “clip.” You’ll want to add shortcuts for Nudge Clip Selection Up and Nudge Clip Selection Down. We use Command-Up Arrow and Command-Down Arrow, respectively since they are similar to the default shortcuts for nudging clips left (Command-Left Arrow) and right (Command-Left Arrow). To nudge your clip, simply select it on the timeline and press the respective keyboard shortcut. Note that…

To read more about why we made the switch, check out this post. Today's post was written by MediaStorm producer Eric Maierson. Premiere Pro CC, Adobe’s followup to CS6, is stuffed with all kinds of great new features. One of the most useful additions is the ability to see through edits, a feature available in Final Cut Pro 7 but curiously absent from the previous Premiere Pro iteration. A through edit is a marker that indicates where you’ve made an edit but no frames have actually been omitted. To turn on this functionality, from the Sequence menu select Show Through Edits. Now, when you first make an edit, you’ll see the through edit icon. Adobe has conveniently used the same icon…

MediaStorm Guide to Creating Subtitles in Premiere Pro

To read more about why we made the switch, check out this post. Today's post was written by MediaStorm producer Eric Maierson. There’s a critical difference between the title tool in Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro. In FCP, one could slice a title that’s already in the timeline, open it in the Viewer window, then change the contents so that you now had two distinct titles. This does not work in Premiere Pro. In Premiere Pro each title is a distinct instance. So, if you splice a title in the timeline then change its content, you will also change the content of the first title as well. Both titles will say the same thing. The only way around this…

To read more about why we made the switch, check out this post. Today's post was written by MediaStorm producer Tim McLaughlin. At MediaStorm, we use tracks to organize by asset type on the timeline. It gives our timeline a level of organization and visual clarity that allows us to find specific items quickly. Additionally, because we often work on each others timelines, it gives us an immediate sense of familiarity with one another's projects. One of my favorite options in Adobe Premiere Pro is the ability to color code assets directly on the timeline, making the visual organization of the timeline all the more obvious. Below you’ll see a timeline color coded by asset. This post will teach you how…
