Ok, while editing waiting highlight films goes on for the full article for the full wedding I use Premiere Pro. I have my reasons and for the highlight articles, which are usually short and trailers, as this is a trailer right here. The trailer as you can see – and it’s 2 minutes long.
So this is a trailer. So, for short articles like highlights in music articles, I use Final Cut. Pro ok cause. I, like the effects in here and all that stuff, so I use Final Cut Pro for all these short articles, but for the longer articles, like one-hour articles, I usually use on Premiere Pro. Ok guys. So that’s what I do anyways so here are the shortcuts that I use a lot while I’m editing wedding articles, ok guys so the 8 simple shortcuts that I use the most while editing highlight articles for weddings.
So number one is. You know the shift shift. Z shift plus the Z button, so how I use this it um. It usually just shows you the the whole timeline from here to here. Ok, so from there to there. So let’s say you are zoomed in right about here so command +, zooms in and command zooms out. But let’s say you don’t want to. You know, use these. You just want to see the entire timeline um from from where you’re editing right so let’s say you’re zoomed.
You know the way here and you want to see the entire timeline. What I usually do, while you use what I usually do is just press shift. Z is going to bring up the entire timeline shift C will bring up the entire timeline. So I use this a lot shift-z. I use that a lot. So that’s number one number two is shift end. So when I’m doing wedding, I do a lot of slow motion as you can see, so how I do the slow motion usually is they say I want to slow my that clip okay.
So what I do is on go here: let’s swim in here, so how I slow more. The clip is just um Shift, + n so shift and brings up this thing here. Where you can, you know slow it down to 50 percent or you can add a custom whereby you can. If you want to reverse the clip, you know forward I’ll, just leave it at that, so yeah so shift and like quickly just brings up. You know thing when you can just like: if you want you can even just like press here and drag it.
You know drag it to the percent that you want it to be slow. Let’s say you wan na do is 60 %, and then you just it’s going to be slow like that and then again, if you just want to go back to the normal, you can press the clip and just shift and brings it back to 100 %. So yeah so shift and brings up so we hear shift and 100 % and then from one I guess no more. A to 50 %, see that and I can move this clip to where I wanted to show.
I know that good stuff, yes guys so shift, and I use it a lot. Let me show you a clip that I actually already have this on there, which is: let’s see this clip right here. So, as you can see here, this is um. This is a normal clip right here, but it was, you know I had it on 50 %. So that way I could do a slo-mo and then I ramped it up right here. So I ramped it up here and when I bring when I click shift n.
It’s going to show you that you know this is this is normal and then I ramped it up there. So let me just um backspace here backspace, really, let me just you know undo so that way I leave the Edit as it is because I like it like that. So this is just like you know, ramped up shift N and then I had ramp that up so let’s go back again command Z. Go back to what I had edited it like whoa whoa. Look at that boy, killing it killing it killing it look at them.
Shots man look at the killing these shots anyway, so yeah shift n. I use that a lot guys. Let’s go back to the whole timeline. Okay, so now that auto timeline, we see the whole thing. Okay, so three is command for so command for just brings up this thing here when you can edit, you know Clips like you, can edit your Clips. So, let’s zoom in a bit here to where you can see eclipse here, okay, so yeah so so command for just brings it to where you can edit the effects of the article so command.
For you know you can get rid of that thing. If you want I’ll bring it up there, you go, get rid of it. Bring it up so command for is just to bring that up real, quick and then command five. Okay, let’s say we take this out so command five, as so. Ok, so number four is combined five, which is uh. It brings up the effects stamp for, like you know, transitions and all the transitions and more article effects so command five.
Alright, let’s wait for it. So it brings up the effects for the article and audio and stuff like that transitions over here, so that’s command v. You can bring that up and I usually don’t like having this here unless I’m using it at the current time. I just like to see my whole full timeline. That’s command! Five number four! So number five is command six, so command six. I use it usually what I’m doing color grading so command.
Six is to do the color great okay guys. So you can see this beautiful color great here. This is the original grade and that’s the calibrated, so they would go command. Six brings up the color grading here. What you can on the color board. They call it by scar grading same so. You can color grade your footage. Okay, guys, you can color grade your footage there. So let me just um bring this back to normal, so yeah, so command.
Six brings up the color grade, real, quick and then from here. You can go back to the effects as well. There you go okay, so that’s number five, so number six is command nine, so command nine. What I usually use this for is the background tasks. Usually what I’m? What I use this for is when I’m rendering the finished um article, and I just want to see how the sharing is going like – let’s say I go here and I share you know so I want to see.
I want to see these on things here. You know if you’re like – let’s say I did this here, so it has to like you know in this case, let’s just a shift and let’s bring this to like ten just to give you a sample. So when you leave it alone, here see it’s going to start rendering. So you I like seeing the percentage that is at or you can pause it if you want so yeah, let’s just undo that, because you know that’s not how I wanted it to be.
So. Just undo that and again undo, okay, so that’s number six, which is command nine, so number seven is command option V, which is two pest effects, so he passed effects from like on copy and paste effects. So let’s say you want these effects on this article here. So you just command C copy, and then you go here if you press command-v, it’s going to. You know paste this clip up there, so you don’t want that.
So what you want to do you just don’t you just want the effects from this article here. So what you do is you copy command C you go here and then so option you hold option and V, I’m sorry. You hold option and command and then press V and then the effects will be tested on this clip here from that to here. Usually I do that when I’m doing when I mom doing the color grading, so let’s just undo that when I’m doing color grading, I usually do that.
So that way I can just select all the clips. I want and let’s say, they’re the same lighting they’re. The same everything, so I just get the color grade from this clip and I pay Kyle paste it on all these clips, so yeah so command option V. I use that a lot, so I was number seven so number eight, which is the last arm shortcut that I like doing here, is option plus the move plus the mouse plus moving your mouse.
So when you press option, when you hold option and then let’s say you want to duplicate this, clip here right so hold option and just move this to where you want to where you want to paste it at you know. So then you go. I just copy pasted this again. I can keep you know, duplicating the file. So that’s how you duplicate arms. You want to duplicate Clips. So let me just back up here: let’s not get ahead of ourselves, so those are the shortcuts that are simple to use.
