heywhat so everybody dobby masters here
and today I'm just showing you how to
edit to a beat quickly in Adobe Premiere
Pro so what I did right here is I
created this entire sort of edit in
about I would say maybe a minute and a
half two to five minutes anywhere in
that range nothing longer than that and
so that's what I me show you is how to
get Adobe to automate this process so
let's just listen to a little bit of it
and then we'll jump into the tutorial so
as you can see the music sort of
influences the Edit here the Edit is
changing with the music and like I said
I automated this so I didn't have to
create all these edits and try to figure
it all out I have made Adobe do it for
me and so that is what we are going to
be covering today let's get started by
creating ourselves a new sequence up
here file new sequence we are then going
to just go ahead and we can drag in some
footage just to make sure those sequence
settings are correct didn't ask me to
change so they are correct in this
instance but what we want to do first is
we want to drag in our audio we need to
find an audio clip and we need to drag
it in because that's what we're gonna be
using as sort of the basis for our edit
so in this situation I'm using this clip
that I got from the YouTube studio which
is just like you heard in the last one
it sort of you know something with a
beat driven sound to it what I want to
do now is I want to zoom in right here
and we need a couple of things to make
this work the first thing is we're going
to be creating markers on all of the
beats so we need to make sure that our
add marker button right here we need to
look at it it's a keyboard shortcut and
then for me it's M and I believe in is
the default if you want to go to your
keyboard shortcuts go up to edit and
then keyboard shortcuts and then just
search for add marker like so and you'll
see it's right here change it to M or
change it or anything that you can press
sort of like with a beat something you'd
be like dun dun dun dun twith just find
a key that you like set it to that and
we are good to go the next thing we're
going to do is we need to make sure that
we're not selected on the clip we don't
wanna be selected in the clip here we
want to be just nothing selected just
having the sequence selected and now
what we're gonna do is we're going to
just play this song and after every beat
of where we want it to change we're
going to click the M key to add a marker
so I'm gonna hit the spacebar to get it
started and then I'm just gonna listen
for the beat and add some
workers in so let's go and there we go
so I just added in those markers that we
had more footage we could keep going if
you don't have enough footage it's all
in there going to fill up as much as we
get to I'll talk about that in just a
second but these are markers right here
and so what we've done is we basically
created a marker on every beat so you
kind of have to be a little bit you know
I guess musical a sense that you need to
be able to hit the beats however you'll
see that these are not perfect and the
Edit still comes out looking really good
and we can make tiny adjustments later
what we're doing is just speeding up our
workflow so now that we have all of this
selected and ready to go what we're
gonna do next is we need to add in our
clips and to add in our clips we're
going to a lot basically make Adobe do
it for us so what we should first do is
we need to go over to our clips and we
need to look at them individually and
create start and end point so Adobe
knows what parts of the clip we want to
keep so in this situation you'll see
that I don't want to keep this starting
because that's me you know clicking the
record button and getting everything
situated and then I start the pan and I
don't want to keep this ending here
maybe I only wanted it to go to the
battleship right here and then cut out
easily and quickly do this all you got
to do is just find the clip for example
this one let's go something like a
little bit more yeah right here the
beginning right here is sort of again me
just trying to get things ready so the I
and O button or right here for I and O
you want to mark something in get to a
point where you you know let's say right
before this bus passes just right there
is what we want to keep go right to make
it go out what this is gonna do is when
Adobe adds is automatically it's just
gonna go ahead and start it right here
and if the clip is long enough before
the next beat it'll go ahead and find a
place to end it as well we make sure
that it's not going to show footage that
we don't want to so you want to go
through your footage and do all of that
once you have everything marked in and
out then you just go right through here
and you just select your footage and so
how you select your footage is important
maybe you wanted to be random in that
case just select them at random if you
want to all be sequential select them in
just by you know clicking at the top one
and holding shift to bring it all the
way down to the bottom but if you want a
certain order to your footage go ahead
and select it in that order so
gonna click the first one I'm gonna hold
the control key we're gonna go like
every other one then basically them sort
of at random here just holding the
control key while I do this make sure
you're kind of like um I don't know I
guess don't do this too fast cuz if you
miss and drag it actually duplicates the
footage but anyway once you have them
all selected we are going to then sort
of put them into the clip here so we're
gonna go up to clip we're gonna go down
to automate the sequence and we want our
ordering to be the selection ordering
not the sort ordering if we wanted to
just go top to bottom we can select them
all and click sort but we want it to be
selection so we have control over it
then down here instead of it being
sequentially what we want is at the
unnumbered markers which are these new
markers that we have added and we wanted
to overwrite edit we wanted to use the
in-and-out range that we have determined
over here and then all we have to do is
click the ok' button sometimes you'll
notice that your footage maybe it's
placed to the right and that's it
because your cursor is over here make
sure to drag it back to the beginning
before you click the ok' button and then
it'll look for markers because if it
can't find markers it just places them
all sequentially after the markers are
gone we're to click the ok' button and
you'll notice that it has placed our
footage like so and there's a cut at
every one of our markers so now let's
play through our new edit right here and
let's take a listen
[Music]
[Applause]
and there we have it
adobe has now basically added in the
markers for us I mean it's done the
editing for us through the markers and
that is how you can speed up a workflow
tremendously if you have just a bunch of
b-roll that you just want to you know
play for a minute you can sit there and
try to put in every single one and edit
it down and it might take you 30 minutes
to sort of get that one-minute looking
good or you can have Adobe do this for
you at the very beginning and then if
you don't make some small edits later on
maybe to make this perfectly on beat or
maybe you want to change some of the
footage around you have something to
work with something you can just quickly
drag-and-drop move stuff around and get
it going
so that is it that is how you basically
make it over from there Pro edit for you
if you make it create the sequence that
you want it to create really really fast
with just a click of the button thanks
