Understanding Nesting: A Key to Efficient Editing
Play Video
Without nesting, timelines can quickly become unmanageable and impossible to navigate. When timelines are broken up into chunks that reflect the main elements of your story, you can keep control of your production while making quick, realistic editing decisions based on the elements you have in each of your sequences. By using nesting you can quickly and easily build the final product and still have fast and efficient access to all editing decisions. Nesting is an essential part of editing and incredibly valuable for that final color wash to give mood and substance to your production. In this Premiere Pro tutorial, Andrew Devis demonstrates how to use nesting, and how to think about your projects so that they can be edited in the most efficient way.

Creating, Saving & Applying Presets
Play Video
In this brief Premiere Pro tutorial, Andrew Devis shows you how to create, save and apply your own presets to the clips in your timeline. Presets are a collection of effects that have been customised for your specific requirements and can be recalled and used at any time once you have saved them. This is particularly useful when you need to apply a series of effects to different clips in your project. All the effects can be saved into one preset with the correct settings applied and then this same preset can be applied to each clip rather than applying and modifying all the effects for every clip thus saving you a great deal of time and effort.

Color Correction 4: Secondary Colour Correction
Play Video
In this Premiere Pro video tutorial, Andrew Devis will show you how to apply color correction to a much more specific area. Starting with an explanation of the three-way color corrector, Andrew will then go on to show how to use the secondary colour correction function to specify a color range and reduce the saturation of that specific range rather than the whole shot. Whilst being a more advanced technique, secondary color correction can make all the difference to a shot when something just doesn't look right or stands out much more than it should

Dynamic Link for the Premiere Pro Workflow
Play Video
Dynamic link allows you to use the power of After Effects in Premiere Pro, but it is something that many people do not understand and so it is under-used. However, with dynamic link you can bring the power of motion graphics to your titles in PP with hardly any effort at all. In this tutorial Andrew Devis will explain the basics of dynamic link and then show you how to start a new AE composition in PP and use powerful motion graphic templates to animate your text. He then covers how to replace an item in your sequence with a new AE composition (i.e. a title) and lastly, how to use dynamic link to take the whole thing into Encore ready to make your DVD - all without rendering. However, please note the following: Dynamic Link only works with the Production Premium and the Master Suites. IT DOES NOT WORK ON STAND-ALONE PRODUCTS!
