Start New Project In Adobe Premiere Pro
Open your adobe premiere pro and then a window appears and shows you to start a new project or continue editing your recent project you are a beginner so you can't see any project, at the left side an option is New project click on it and start editing a new project, now again a window appears in this window you need to add some video settings like name, location - where you want to save the video after complete your editing by default software save your project in documents > Adobe premiere pro > 11.0. you can change the location there are more settings like - Video > Display Format, Audio > Display Format, Capture > Capture Format, and many more I am leaving the rest of the settings because it's not much important for us. so when you click "ok" then your adobe premiere pro actually opens you can see lots of areas or sections like media player, Effects library, timeline, Media library.
But the most important thing is that you need media obviously how can you start editing before you don't have any media file so you can make your own media file but if you don't have any file then you can download any song and you can start editing it. remember in this article I teach you the most basic things and about the software because it's good to start with easy and then expand your limits.
How To Import Media Into The "Media Bin"
Okay, so that's the first step to editing you need to import your media to the "media bin" as I said before you need media to start editing I recommend you to make your own video like you can go to any park or forest any place where a lot's of plants or flowers are present nature always makes the video very colorful and attractive also animals like dogs, cats, birds can make your video more valuable using a DSLR or phone doesn't matter a lot.
please make sure your video should be stable shaky videos is very irritating some effects like stabilizing effects are present in Adobe premiere pro but in this article, we don't discuss a lot about that, use a tripod or gimble and try to not shake your hands a lot for removing shakiness from your video a simple trick that you can do is crop your footage after importing your video add it to the timeline and zoom it this will really helpful for your video and yeah that's a simple stabilizing hack let's not talk too much about this and start importing your file to Adobe premiere pro so open your adobe premiere pro and at the bottom left you can see "media bin" you can read "import your media here" and there you import your file you and see an option called "media browser" you can import your media by through that or you can just drag and drop your file to "media bin".
Understanding "Timeline"
So now I tell you quickly what is timeline what is the use for it and how you can import your files to "media bin" to "timeline"
Basically, the timeline is the main or the place where you edit your video and add effects, Yeah every part of Adobe premiere pro is important but the timeline is the base By drag and drop after that you can spot your video to the track at the left side some numbers you can see like - V1, V2, V3, A1, A2, A3 these numbers represent video or audio V1 like video 1 and A1 is audio 1 so now you know where you have to import your video or audio ( image can be imported into the video section and effects also ) if I tell you my experience so I don't know how to use adobe premiere pro around 3 years ago I tried to import video file to the audio section and it's not happening I thought is something problem in my software but it's my stupidity and that's why I am telling you that please read basic first then professional. you can also expand the size of the timeline this will really help you while editing after expanding the size of the timeline you can see audio waves clearly.
Exploring the left-side
Till now we talked about "Media bin" or "Timeline" but now there's another area in the upper left side you can see lots of options like Source, Effects control panel, lumetric scopes and other lot's of option to access these options click on the video presented on the timeline and now you can a whole bunch of info about the video so when I click on the video and highlight effects control then we can see basic settings of the video like position, scale, opacity, etc.
What's on the right side?
On the right side, you can see the effects library search your favorite effect drag and drop it to your video and then see effects control panne some new effects automatically added there you can change it. oh, I remember my post where I teach you how you can use the track mate key in the adobe premiere pro track matte key is a great effect you saw in some video that video is running inside the text click here to know more about it.
Yeah on the right side you can see the effects library like you search "blur" and then just drag and drop it on the video file then in the effects settings you can see effects options change some settings according to you and you're done.

Making a rectangle
So let's make some sort of shapes what do you think about a rectangle? for making a rectangle we're gonna use "Custom shape tool" you can see it on your left side and also on the picture click on it and now your tool is selected drag your mouse cursor to the image and click on the left mouse button and drag your cursor drag as much bigger rectangle you want and release your finger to the mouse button now you got a rectangle but still, it's transparent you can see the background through this you can just see it's edging we're gonna use color tool or fil color tool option and select your favorite color.
So if you guys want to move any object then select "selection tool" and drag your cursor to your object and hold your mouse pointer there and start moving it you can move it everywhere so if you want to move your object vertically then select "shift" and then it locked on only one position you can just move it to up or down. now you want to rotate it so use "ctrl+t" and now you can see a different arrow pointing left to down bring your cursor to the edges of the object and then you can rotate it. so I hope you liked this if you think that all the tips that I told you are good then leave a comment "good" in the comment section below.
Effects panel
making any shape is the first step but you need to add some effects like shadows it makes your design more interested or realistic. when a shape is as it before like when you created it feels like just a created object not like a real thing previously you have created a rectangle and you also add color as you like but now we should add some effects like a shadow. make sure you have selected your rectangle or whatever it is really important because if you selected another layer then it can mess your image now you can see an effective option in the right-bottom of photoshop click on it and now a window open.
It shows a bunch of options you should click on the last option "drop shadow" you can see a blank box on the left side of "drop shadow" check that box and now your options are unlocked. to increase shadow increases the size option you can see the size of the shadow is increasing I am not taking a huge shadow you can make it as you like also use the spread option.
stroke -
you can use the stroke option, by using this option some lines came at the edges of your object like if I chose the red color and then increase the size then you can observe that a red color boundary is increasing you can use this option if you like it. there are more several options are available there to make your design
Working with images
so if you want to import any image you can go to file and then place or file import option in place option your picture will be in the same pixel but in the import, option photoshop will automatically adjust pixels and fit the image in the image I will suggest you use import image option its more useful but if your working with a bunch of images then you can go with place option.
Zoom
you guys know what I am talking about zoom means increase your picture size it can be very useful in some situations because when you make the selection of an object you need to use the zoom option because while using "zoom" you can increase the size of the picture it makes easier to make the selection of the object. you can see the image size option at the bottom of the image you also spot "100%" there change the values in that collum and you want.
Working with text
Text is one of the most important elements in the image you can express your meaning of an image or your work if you added text in an image and it's quite easy if you work with text I mean you just follow a few steps and you will know a lot about the text so let's know how to use this beautiful option.
you can see the "T" icon on the left side of your window. when you click on it your mouse pointer automatically changes into a different style put your mouse cursor on the image where you want the text and now a thin line came into the screen start typing what you want and at the upper section there are several options are present there. change your font size or style etc.
What is "Lumetric Colour Tab"
So, in this tab, we can do things like changing Temperature, Contrast, Adjusting the color, Shadows, White, etc. we also have here a creative tab here you can add different types of filters this is a really important thing for editing you know sometimes when you shoot for a long time At outside After every couple of hours light changes itself because sun changes it's positing just suppose you start your shooting at 11:00 PM and you continue your shoot till 6:PM that means at the starting your video looks so bright and after some hours your video clip look dull it will harm your video quality to prevent this you can use "lumetric color tab" change your video temperature or adjusting your video color will make your video with a continuous and not changing color.
Razor tool
So when your recording your video there are a bunch of mistakes you have done like sometimes you forgot the line so the razor tool is really useful you can remove all the unwanted or unnecessary clips from your video every single video editor have this tool because without it you can't edit your videos this is a very common and most useful tool maybe sometimes you don't use effects or you don't want to add a title to your video but without this, you can't edit your footage.
Title
Adding a title is also one of the most important elements in video editing some video needs a title or text in the video. A title can be used for introduction, name, information, or targeting something. I am sure that at any point in life you need this thing. thanks to modern technology and software it became a piece of cake now anyone can do this doesn't matter what device you have like phone, laptop, computer or even online on the internet you can do this without any problem or without any skills but in Software like Adobe I became a bit of tricky but don't worry it's not like quantum physics you just need some clicks choosing your favorite font type your text you can do some more things like changing its size, a color. So without any further delay let's get started.
First, open your adobe premiere pro and then click on file>new>title, and there you can edit a lot of things so do it as you want and it completed isn't easy in just a few clicks you learn how to do it.
Selection tool
With the selection tool, you can highlight any clip or you can select a bunch of clips. yeah I know it's really short but the selection tool is really helpful for you In several moments you have to use the selection tool I use this tool if I have to move lots of clips at the same time. like some title, video, audio, effects, etc you can't move these clips one by one use a selection tool to solve this issue.
Exporting the video, the Final process
So, congratulations we reached the end or final process of this post now we learn how to export your video if you have edited your video it doesn't matter what level of editing have you done if you are fresher then you've done very simple editing where you removed some unwanted clips, add title and add some effects to your video I mean it's wonderful editing is a really easy skill people think it's hard but that's definitely, not the case if you practice this thing for like 1 month then you can say yourself as a video editor some of our errors show bypassing time so just practice and ask yourself what have you done yet, what you should do which you haven't done, what to learn in further. these lines will always guide you your way and I am also with you in this journey by uploading these tutorials so let's know what to do in this final round.
