Learn how to get started using Premiere Pro, a non-linear editing software for filmmakers, television broadcasters, journalists, students, and videographers.
Premiere Pro is a non-linear editing software for filmmakers, television broadcasters, journalists, students, and videographers. Learn how you can get started using Premiere Pro, starting from importing rough footage all the way to a complete video.
After you have your footage ready in your computer, open Premiere Pro and get started editing.
If you don't have footage handy, but are looking to learn about Premiere Pro, try using the sample project files within the product. From the Home screen, click Learn > Get started to use the sample project.
Start a project or open an existing project.
For more information, see Creating and changing projects.
To import files, you can:
To view a clip in the Source Monitor, double-click the clip in the Project Panel. Using the Source Monitor, you can view clips, set edit points, and mark frames before adding clips to a sequence. Refine sequences by manipulating clips in the Timeline panel.
Add clips to a sequence in the Timeline panel by dragging them from the Project Panel, or by using the Insert (the comma key) or Overwrite buttons (the full stop key).
To get started with titles, you can select an existing motion graphic template from Premiere Pro. You can also create a title directly in your video using the Type tool in the Program Monitor. Use keyboard shortcuts (Windows: Ctrl+T, macOS: Cmd+T) to create a new text layer.
Type in a title, and then adjust its appearance. Save your title as a Motion Graphics template so it can be reused and shared.
For more information on using the Essential Graphics panel, see Create titles and motion graphics.
Add transitions between clips to smoothly move from one clip to another. The Effect Controls panel includes an extensive list of transitions and effects you can apply.
Add an effect or transition to a clip in the Timeline panel by dragging it from the Effects panel. Adjust the effect, duration, and alignment using the Effect Controls panel.

There are multiple color editing options in Premiere Pro. You can:
To get started, experiment with looks. Select a clip in the timeline, and select a look from the Creative section of the Lumetri color panel. Adjust the Intensity and Adjustments sliders to fine-tune the preset.
For more information, see Color workflows.
Premiere Pro offers a complete audio editing solution within the application. Some common audio edits you can do are sync audio with video, or reduce background noise. You can also choose to edit audio in Audition for advanced audio mixing.
You can set a duration for video or audio clips, letting them speed up or slow down to fill the duration.
You can use the following options to change the speed and duration of clips:
Export your edited sequences quickly and easily to the focussed content destinations. Use the advanced export settings to customize your export. You can also export your completed videos by using optimized render settings for popular social platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, or Twitter.
For more information, see the Export video.
You can work on a project across computer platforms. For example, you can start on Windows and continue on macOS. A few functions change, however, as the project moves from one platform to the other.
You can create a project on one platform and then move it to another. Premiere Pro sets the equivalent sequence settings for the second platform, if there is an equivalent.
All video effects available on Mac OS are available in Windows. Windows effects not available on the Mac appear as offline effects if the project is opened on the Mac. All audio effects are available on both platforms. Effect presets work on both platforms (unless the preset applies to an effect not available on a given platform).
Presets created on one platform are not available on the other.
Preview files made on one platform are not available on the other. When a project is opened on a different platform, Premiere Pro rerenders the preview files. When that project is then opened on its original platform, Premiere Pro renders the preview files yet again.
Windows AVI files containing either 10-bit 4:2:2 uncompressed video (v210), or 8-bit 4:2:2 uncompressed video (UYVU) are not supported on macOS.
The playback quality of unrendered non-native files is not as high as playback quality of these files on their native platforms. For example, AVI files do not play back as well on Mac OS as they do on Windows. Premiere Pro renders preview files for non-native files on the current platform. Premiere Pro always renders preview files in a native format. A red bar in the timeline indicates which sections contain files needing rendering.
Accessibility refers to making products usable for people with visual, auditory, motor, and other disabilities.
Examples of accessibility features for software products include screen reader support, text equivalents for graphics, keyboard shortcuts, change of display colors to high contrast, and so on.
Premiere Pro provides some tools that make it accessible to use and tools that you can use to create accessible content.
