  • I Just Got The Trial Version, Need Help

    Posted by Antoine Perkins on June 1, 2008 at 5:57 pm

    I have a .mov file that is 3 minutes and 50 seconds long. I simply want to load it in Adobe Premier, erase everything after 3 minutes and 43 seconds because it has an outtake at the end. Then i’d like to convert that into a new .mov file on my computer. Can someone give me simple easy step-by-step instructions to do this???

    Please explain it to me like i’m a 4 year old because video is not my forte, I leave that to directors/editors.

    Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

    -Open Premiere and create a project that matches your output specifications – ideally this should also match the specs of your source material.

    -File/Import – Import your clip.

    -Drag the clip from the project bin into the timeline sequence.

    -Scrub the CTI (the blue thing at the top of the sequence, where the numbers are, it has a red line that runs vertically through the timeline) through the timeline to the point where you want to end the clip. Once you’re close to the cut-point you can use the left or right arrow key to find the exact frame.

    -Press ‘C’ to activate the Razor Tool and cut the clip at the CTI.

    -File/Export/Adobe Media Encoder. Pick a preset that seems right and export your movie. You may have to export many times until you find a preset that does exactly what you want. Experiment with adjusting the setings.
