5 Tips for Faster Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro

Video editing takes a lot of time and effort, and anywhere you can make your workflow a bit more efficient can really add up in the long run. This great video will give you five helpful tips for editing more quickly in Adobe Premiere.

Coming to you from B&H Photo Video, this fantastic video will give you five great tips for faster editing in Adobe Premiere. Premiere is a very intricate program, and video editing itself can be very involved. One thing that has always helped me is to make sure I am very organized off the bat. Your file names off the camera are probably strings of letters and numbers that do not really describe anything, and if you have a lot of clips in a project, it can be a bit of a pain to find what you need and keep track of everything. I like to take five minutes to rename the files descriptively before I import them; something simple like "city view 1" makes a big difference once I get into the editing process. Check out the video above for lots of helpful tips.

Wow that last trick about extending music in Audition is huge. Haven’t tried that - wonder how good the results are with different genres of music.

I’ve been using it for years and it’s magic. Def works well more often than it doesn’t. Less “rocky” songs do seem to work better but you never really know till you try. There’s some good tutorials on YouTube that walk through the custom settings that can help with those songs.
