Adobe Premiere Pro for Education: Audio-Visual Storytelling and the Scholarly Concept Video

Adobe Premiere Pro for Education: Audio-Visual Storytelling and the Scholarly Concept Video Justin Hodgson

This tutorial introduces participants to using Adobe Premiere Pro, with specific focus on creating a scholarly concept video: a short creation designed to introduce a key term or tension, demonstrate a core practice or method, or contextualize a critical idea or perspective.

Tutorial Outline

Define Project

The project for this tutorial is to successfully produce a scholarly concept video, which is used to introduce a key term or tension, demonstrate a core practice or method, or contextualize a critical idea or perspective. To aid in this process, participants will be guided through the 10 basic steps or considerations needed to complete the project.

If participants can make a video that successfully navigates the guidelines of this project (see below), they will have learned the basic editing skills needed to produce a range of educational video creations, with the scholarly concept video being one among them.

Lesson Plan(s) for Teaching this Project, including assignment prompt and outcomes

When introducing digital projects in my courses, I typically use what I call the 4 Ms Approach: Mapping, Mentor Texts, Modeling, Making.

Downloadable Assignment Prompt & Rubric

SAMPLE ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES

Using Zoom (and webcam) or your phone camera, royalty-free online media, and Adobe Premiere Pro, create a short scholarly concept video that introduces and explains a key term or tension from our readings, demonstrates a core practice or method we covered in our materials, or contextualizes a critical idea or perspective we've touched on in our class discussions.

To successfully complete this assignment, the videos must:

be between 90-180 seconds in duration
include A-roll, B-roll, and Background Audio elements
utilize at least two shot types: e.g., mid-shot and close-up
include Title element (and credits/attributions if appropriate)
include transitions effects, with at least 4 deployments in the project
be rendered into a video file and uploaded to an online video repository (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.)
be submitted via our course LMS (CANVAS) as a URL

OUTCOMES

Working through this project will help students learn to:

critically analyze/interpret multimedia artifacts/processes
communicate effectively in digital environments
expanding their capacities with audio/visual storytelling and video editing
create media for instructional and academic purposes
work creatively with course content across media types

Three Options

Making a scholarly concept video is a process not beholden to Adobe Premiere Pro. There are other tools and platforms one can use to complete this challenge, specifically Adobe Spark Video and Adobe Premiere Rush. Each software owns unique affordances: Spark Video possesses a far simpler interface and is free to use; Premiere Rush offers notable video editing options while also being mobile-production friendly. But I prefer Adobe Premiere Pro as a starting point because (a) the technology involved and basic maneuvers introduced scale for more robust undertakings: from documentary-style audio-visual essays to video-based lab reports, from vodcasts to expert interviews; (b) many of the other Adobe Creative Cloud tools integrate seamlessly into Premiere Pro workflows; and (c) it seems to me to be easier for faculty and students to move from Premiere Pro (an industry-level tool) back to Premiere Rush and Spark Video, as the core metaphors and basic maneuvers carry down much more readily than up.

3.1 Create a Sequence

3.0 Full Walkthrough

3.1 Create a Sequence

In Project Panel: Click and Drag Aroll_1 onto timeline (Orange Arrow)
Rename newly created sequence: Click on Project Panel; Right-click newly created Aroll_1 sequence (Green Arrow); in submenu, Select Rename (Cyan Arrow)
Change name: e.g., Sequence1 (Pink Arrow)

PROCESS CHECKPOINT: Users should have created a new project, configured the workspace, imported key media elements into the project, and created a sequence. Of note at this juncture, however, is that now all the different panes have content in them: the Project Pane, has a Project Panel with files, an Effect Controls Panel and an Effects Panel; the Timeline Pane now contains a sequence; the Monitor Pane should display in the Program Panel the video in the timeline sequence.

Step 4: Three Ways to Edit a Clip

This step demonstrate three different techniques for editing a video clip. It includes setting the Mark In and Mark Out points on the source video, using the razor in the timeline to cut and (ripple) delete a clip, and using the click and drag method to resize a clip in the timeline.

To begin this step with a clean timeline, Select Aroll_1 clip in Timeline and Press Delete Key.

Step 4 Breakdown

4.0 Full Walkthrough
4.1 Way #1: Setting Mark In/Mark Out Points on Source Video
4.2 Way #2: Cut & (Ripple) Delete
4.3 Way #3: Click & Drag

4.0 Full Walkthrough

4.1 Way #1: Setting Mark In/Mark Out Points on Source Video

In Project Panel, double-click Aroll_1 video file (Green Arrow). This will open the video in Monitor Pane: Source Panel
Scrub playhead (Yellow Arrow) to Mark In point: 00:00:10:10. Click Mark In button (Pink Arrow)
Scrub playhead to Mark Out point: 00:02:21:11. Click Mark Out button (Red Arrow)
In Project Panel, Click and Drag Aroll_1 onto the timeline (Orange Arrow).

4.2 Way #2: Cut & (Ripple) Delete

4.2a - Set First Cut Point

In Timeline Pane, Click the Selection tool (Cyan Arrow)
Scrub playhead (Yellow Arrow) to first cut location: 00:01:01:04 (Pink Arrow)

4.2b - Make First Cut

Select Razor tool (Green Arrow)
Move Razor tool over Aroll_1 clip to playhead (Pink Arrow) and Click to cut

4.2c - Make Second Cut

Select selection tool (Cyan Arrow) and Scrub playhead (Yellow Arrow) to second cut location: 00:01:12:21
Select Razor tool, move over Aroll_1 clip to playhead (Red Arrow) and Click to cut

4.2d - (Ripple) Delete Segment

Select Selection tool
Click (to select) middle segment of Aroll_1 (Pink Arrow)
Open Edit menu (Cyan Arrow) and Select Ripple Delete (Green Arrow)
{Quick keys for Ripple Delete: Mac: alt + delete; PC: shift + delete}

4.3 Way #3: Click and Drag function

In Timeline Pane, using Selection tool (Cyan Arrow), Scrub playhead to the beginning of conclusion (Green Arrow) in Aroll_1: 00:01:45:00
Move Selection tool to the end of Aroll_1 (Red Arrow)
Hover near edge of Aroll_1 until Selection Tool Arrow changes to Red Bracket, Click and Drag end of clip to the playhead (Orange Arrow)

PROCESS CHECKPOINT: At this juncture in the workflow, users should have created a project, configured the workspace, imported key media elements, created a sequence, and added A-roll video. That A-roll should have been edited in 3 ways: setting in and out points on the A-roll source video, cutting a segment from the middle using cut and ripple delete, and used click and drag on the timeline to adjust the end point (removing A-roll conclusion element). In so doing, users have already started Step 5, building horizontally and vertically .

Step 5: Building Horizontally and Vertically

This step expands users video editing capabilities by demonstrating how to extend the video sequence chronologically (adding assets horizontally) as well as adding visual nuance by layering media (adding assets vertically).

Step 5 Breakdown

5.0 Full Walkthrough
5.1 Get Familiar with Timeline Interface
5.2 Building Horizontally
5.3 Building Vertically

5.0 Full Walkthrough

5.3b - Remove B-roll Audio

Remove audio from Broll_1 (if necessary): using Selection tool, Click the Lock icon on video channel 2 (v2) (Cyan Arrow). With video channel locked, Select audio clip on audio channel 2 (a2) (Green Arrow) and Press the delete key. Click Lock icon again unlock channel.

5.3c - Add Images

In Project Panel, holding Shift key, Click both Image 1 and Image 2 (Green Arrow)
With both selected, Click and Drag Image_1 and Image 2 to video channel 2 on timeline (Orange Arrow)
Place division line between Image_1 and Image_2 directly over cut between Aroll_1 and Aroll_2 (Red Arrow)

PROCESS CHECKPOINT: To this point, users have created a new project, configured the workspace, imported key media elements, created a sequence, added A-roll video to the sequence, edited that clip (using three different approaches), and started to build a sequence horizontally and vertically through adding assets and making additional edits/cuts.

Step 6: Audio Adjustments and Effects

In this step, users will add an audio file (e.g., background music), use the click and drag technique to adjust the length of that audio file, and then learn to adjust clip volume levels on the timeline.

Click and Drag keyframe #5, lowering volume to the bottom of audio channel 2 (Cyan Arrow)

PROCESS CHECKPOINT: If users playback the timeline now, in full, there should be a black video element with with a fade in/fade out title at the beginning. Additionally, the audio should start and then fade down (duck) under the A-roll audio, until the end of the production when it slowly comes back up and then, ultimately, fades out. As such, at this juncture users have reach the final, but crucial stage of the basic video editing process: exporting the sequence.

Step 10: Saving and Sharing Sequences

This final step guides users through the process of selecting the format and save location and then exporting a sequence, turning the edited sequence into a shareable video file.

Step 10 Breakdown

10.0 Full Walkthrough
10.1 Export Sequence
10.2 Upload to YouTube/Vimeo
10.3 Add/Edit Caption File
10.4 Share/Embed on Behance

10.0 Full Walkthrough

10.1 Export Sequence

10.1a - Launch Export Setting Dialogue Box

In Project Panel, Click Sequence1 (Green Arrow)
Open File menu (Cyan Arrow), Select Export (Pink Arrow) to open submenu, and Select media (launching the Export Settings dialogue box).

10.1d - Export

In Export Settings, Click Export (Green Arrow)

PROCESS CHECKPOINT: It will take a few minutes for Premiere Pro to export the sequence, depending on things like computer processing speed, type and depth of video manipulations, length of the sequence file, and the like. But once the export is completed, users will have a playable/shareable file. For the purposes of this workshop, users will want to upload that video file to YouTube or Vimeo (Step 10.2). Additionally, as a kind of "best practices" recommendation, users should address matters of access and accessibility (Step 10.3). Here, using YouTube and its built-in audio capture tool, is a quick approach for turning speech into a closed caption file that can be edited and improved directly in YouTube. Then, as the final step in this workflow, participants should use the URL to include the video in their Adobe Portfolio (Step 10.4)

10.2 Upload file to YouTube/Vimeo

10.3 Add/Edit Caption File

10.4 Share/Embed on Adobe Portfolio
