First Premiere Pro Project

I just fished my first project on the editing app Premiere Pro! I have never used the app before, but after I watched the videos and practice the editing skills from it , I reached an understanding of the app and created my first own project , which was a editing a video of a ice cream place with different clips.

My experience creating these clips were not as hard I as i thought. I had a concept of what i wanted and the finished project to look like and i believe I executed it perfectly. Cutting and plugging them into the my project was very fun to do. I genially enjoyed working on this project

One thing I would take away from this whole project is editing the clips isn’t as hard, as long as i know how to shorten them, import them and mute and overlap clips. As long as in know those, the editing part becomes pretty easy.

If i could change one thing, I’d spend more time adding music. I saved it for last and ended up not including it in my final project.

What the process taught me:

I learned a lot through out this whole project. An imp
ortant thing i learned is what the 4 square are called and used for, so know i know where to put everything and what to do when editing, importing, cutting all my clips.

                                           Here is a picture of my masterpiece in the works.

Successful outcomes:

I think my work came out good, and my editing techniques were niche. My editing was smooth, with no clips longer than the audio shown or clips extending more than it needs to. I managed to finish the video in time, which surprised me because it was my first time dealing with that app and I didn’t know a lot about it ,nor do i still do.

Challenges:

I faced multiple challenges during this project. One was understanding the skill practice course given to me to learn the concept of the app. I struggled with the most important step, which was importing the files to the app. I had to get help from my teacher to know how to do it. Another thing I struggled with was the music I wanted to put on my project. I didn’t know how to cut it from the source panel and put it directly into my timeline. I just put the whole song and cut it, but it would cut and keep going longer than I wanted. That’s why I gave up and wanted to finish the whole project so I scraped that whole idea out the window.

Enhancing  my portfolio:

This project certainly helps my portfolio. This project helped me learned the basic skills needed to edit my portfolio. My portfolio is the movie, so this will help me cut the clips into clips I only need to use for my portfolio.
