This is the video I have been looking for for the last 17 years of my life. Everything is explained so beautifully, thank you!

[d.rrel_]

3:54 paste
4:49 match frame f
8:35 source patching, v1 and a1 meanings
11:48 toggle switch overwrite nests or clips
25:45 3pt 4 pt edits
26:44 dynamic trimming. Go into trim mode shift T, up and down arrows move edit points. Summarize transcript for more

32:28 Q and W
36:05 automate to sequence. Make ins and outs to clips and importing into a sequence, helpful for string outs

48:43 render in out ex. slowmotion

52:42 speed ramping
Right click clip > show clip keyframes > time remapping > speed
Move line up and down keyframe for speed. Add keyframes with ctrl click
54:59 clip keyframe transition drag 55:28 drag to change into bezier curve
56:58 ctrl drag keyframe to add reverse section
59:36 Scene edit detection. Auto dtetect and cut changes in scenes In flattened footage

1:23:48 use rgb waveform lumetri scopes and crop for more accurate results with color checker (shadows highlights midtones)

1:25:19 use hsl secondary for granular control over selections you make (ex. using L luminance for selecting shadows or highlights) tick the color gray mask while adjusting sliders and uncheck for actual correcting

1:27:27 for the colors, crop > zoom > lumetri scope only vectorscope hls colors should be aligned with boxes for adequate saturation.
If not in line with box, use hue vs hue > dropper > select color > adjust hue until aligned (u can change brightness of scope right click)

definitely worth the watch if you're a beginner/ slightly experienced. advanced for sure. don't be afraid to hit pause, reference your own research, and come back. Nice video!!

ONE HOUR into the clip and I am already light years ahead. This makes me wanna VENMO or something you, because it is masive work and learning that you have put into. And making it free is beyond gracious. Literally have no way of thanking you enough, you have made me want to edit again, after giving up because of the complexity and all the 100$ courses(living in a country where I get this much for seeral days of work). AGAIN MASSIVE THANK YOU, U ARE THE BEST.

CHEERS AND HAVE A WONDERFU DAY :)

Love the ease of Premier. Never needed any instructions on how to use. VERY plug and play.

Hi Dave, thank you so much for uploading this video, extremely helpful in my preparation for the ACP exam.
🚩Just wanted to ask you or if anyone shared the same issue, the video seems to be stuck between, while I can hear you perform functions regarding audio compression, I felt a little lost there for a minute.
Audio and colour correction are the 2 subjects that I have been struggling with in my 12 years of working on Premiere Pro. Your video has cleared up a lot of my doubts that even my co-workers could not fill me up on. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and I look forward to learning a lot more from you. Cheers!

[namanrathi]

No way i will learn photohsop and premiere pro form one channel all that to this team . Keep Uploading . Love from nepal .

[youtubec]

I started learning about photoshop yesterday through your beginners tutorial, and a day later you upload this! what a perfect timing. Appreciated so much!

[KILOPOWER]

One of these tutorials that have so much useful and advanced techniques in it, that you will come back to it years later because you remembered that one trick that you haven't used until now

[TUTIRD]

I love it. Thanks Dave for this free course and the envato´s people.

[legacylee]

as a performer myself, used to perform hip hop and do live shows improv, a freestyle emcee if you will, and now that i'm coming over to the filmmaking side and learning about movie beats, i totally get your rhythmical tapping. when i first started editing, i was dropping everything on the fours, but understanding the flow of music i switched up my editing style and been dropping to the the beat like i''m in a freestyle. the advice you dropped makes a lot of sense my dude. diggin your breakdowns, def liked and subbed,

[baideeditz]

Thank you so much for your efforts. I learned track targeting because of you.
believe me it was very difficult before this tutorial. ❤

[helpishere]

Really excellent course, been playing with premiere for years and still haven't learnt to roll onto my stomach, think crawling might be a real possibility soon after having watched this.

[danneytee]

50 mins in and I love it. I been using Premier for couple personal projects but always knew there was a better way to do things. This video does exactly just that. Thank you so much !

[mainstreetdrone]

Dave thank you for this wealth of information. I refer to back to this video periodically. Thank you so so so much!!!

[grqfes]

Ive just been messing around in premiere finding my own way to do things by just looking around and googling. This is great for a fresh notebook example of how things are done

[dgarts]

Love the ease of Premier. Never needed any instructions on how to use.

[holdupsomethingaintright]

Enjoyed every second of this, LOVED every second of this, definitely learned something new, thanks man!

[AndreasKungl]

I'm 45 minutes into this, and I can already say that this is by far the most useful collection of PP techniques and functions presentations that I have found on YT ever. Particularly if you have already started working with PP but feel totally lost about best practices and the absence of your editing muscle memory, this seems to offer a ton of inspiration to develop your own style.
Nothing like: "This is a must do!" Instead it calmly explains functions and shows you enough to start your own thought process about potential application.
Absolutely love it!

[abduohassanguroob]

Thank you so much for all these tutorials bro. So much valuable knowledge
