As I said at the beginning of this chapter, these are simple topics, yet it is extremely important to have a solid grasp of them. Knowing how to improve your workflow is where you will start down the road of being a top editor. Efficiency is the key to editing. Being comfortable and knowing how to maneuver within Premiere is critical for establishing a smooth pace when editing your project. Keep in mind that these are only a few areas where you can develop your own editing style. Like anything else in Premiere, there are generally two or three ways to do the same thing. Whichever technique you choose, keep practicing until it becomes second nature. The more proficient you become with technique, the more time you can spend on concept and creativity (and let your fingers handle the technique for you without your having to think about it). |
