Your audio sync trick (with the markers) is a TIME saver. We have a video with 20 performance takes, and I was going to try to line them up with the audio waves.

wish I had this when I first started doing videos 😭💯

[tenover]

This is great, thank you. I really like how you had your live video showing in the bottom right corner while recording. Very easy on the eyes.

Just wanted to say a quick thank you, cause I was trying to do a giant multicam sequence and my computer was NOT having it. I am editing my first music video and it's turning out great. Thank you thank you! File Organization was my weakness.

So interesting to see how different video editors work! I always pick up a few tips for my workflow from these kind of videos

[TylerKidd]

The goat! The new studio is super cool, you guys are crushing it 😎🤘

[MikeSchellingMusic]

I totally appreciate this video! Question; I got to the stage where I was syncing up vocals with the track but I couldn’t figure out how to mute or +/- the volume on the main track to hear the clip background. Any suggestions? (PC)

[plainvoince]

thank you man, needed this for a school project!

[DedaOG]

Is there a graph editor for the keyframes like there is in after effects?

[oweup]

should the actual premiere pro application be on my ssd or my regular d drive ?

[SHVWNCOOPER]

are you using post haste? got a breakdown to clean this up and automate your folder structure for you

[scottspaldingofficial]

This is fantastic timing! I've been wondering how to do this for long enough!

[tbone]

How long does it take to process 20GB of footage ? Spec: 6700xt 12GB + 5900x 12 Cores +16GB RAM

What’s the best camera to use for music videos

[longozer]

Hi, what camera you used for this music video ?

[RexRome]

Thanks for your insight, at first glance, premiere pro can be really intimidating. But after watching your workflow, I feel much more comfortable approaching this next step in my video making journey. I liked and subscribed! One question though: can you share some of the lenses you used for this video shoot? And what cameras did you use as well. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks

YouTube still decompress my videos what am I missing and I shoot with a Sony a6600

Hint for those who started watching after they created the project: You can change the GPU settings under File -> Project Settings -> General -> Renderer.
