This is a one-off session on the showreel unit.
For our showreels, we're going to be making them in Adobe Premiere Pro, an editing program part of the Adobe Creative Cloud. I've had experience with this program for the past 3 years, so going into this session I felt pretty comfortable with the program.
The entire session could be split into two parts: the basics of Premiere Pro and the fancy stuff. The basics were mostly on how to set up projects & sequences, import & insert clips, audio dipping, etc. While I knew all of those already, there were some basics I hadn't known up to that point which are going to be really helpful in the future; specifically, Ripple Delete. Ripple Delete closes gaps between clips and audio, and bumps everything up that applies.
And like I said, we also moved onto the fancy stuff Premiere Pro can do. I'd never noticed the multiple tabs at the top of the workspace, including Editing, Effects, Graphics, etc. I'd only ever used the editing tab, since that's all I used Premiere Pro for. We went into the Graphics tab to find lots of title & graphics presets, the kinds used for news reports and sports channels. Their text is all editable, and different attributes can be messed with the create the title graphic you want!
In the end, with all the steps followed, my project looked like this:
Since this was just a practice with the program, I had some fun with the titles and put in whatever just made me laugh! This little session taught me a couple of new basic techniques that're going to make the actual showreel's production a lot easier. All in all, this was a nice little session that was calm and I enjoyed it!
