What's new (v. 14.4 and 14.6)

- [Instructor] I'd like to cover some what's new content for several features that came out in versions 14.4 and 14.6 of Premiere Pro. In 14.4, scene edit detection came out, and in 14.6, quick export came out. And I'm going to demonstrate these actually in tandem with one another. This is what's new content, so no exercise files per se, but you can just load any sequence that you like. And just a helpful reminder, if you are brand new to Premier and you are just starting out with this training, do skip what's new content. And so I have a sequence loaded, and I'm just going to come up to this button here, which is quick export. This is a very basic, very simple export window where I'm able to choose the destination for where I want my file to live. Alright, so desktop is fine. And then I have just very few preset options that I can choose. These are basically optimized for uploading to the internet. These are all H264 files. I have some bitrate flavors, I have some resolution flavors. And it's what you see is what you get. I'm not able to modify these, but as I choose these various options, you can see the information about this export listed here in terms of the format, the resolution, the frame rate, the bit rate in coding settings, the duration of the sequence, audio settings, and the estimated file size. And as I choose different options here, you can see those options change, alright. So again, none of this is able to be modified, but I can very quickly get material out of Premiere Pro now with just one button. So I'll go ahead and export this to my desktop. Okay, so my video exported. Here it is on my desktop and we're ready to go. (bright music) All right. So again, that's basically it. If you do need to modify anything about your export settings, you'll want to open up your traditional export settings window, again, that's command M or control M on a PC. And this is where you can dial in very specific settings if you need to. Alright, so that's quick export, again, just a quick and dirty way to get material out of Premiere Pro with just a push of a button. Now I want to show you seen edit detection, and I'm actually going to be able to do this quite easily using the export that I just sent to my desktop. So let's just import that back into my Premiere project. Okay, so here's the clip and you can see that sequence is made up of many shots. However, in premiere, because we export it and then re-imported it, this is just one clip. So let's turn this into its own sequence. I'm just going to click and drag down onto new item, and a new sequence was created. And I'm just going to, you know for our purposes, title this Scene Edit Detection. So we can label that, so it's different from that one. And here it is, it's just a one clip inside of Premiere Pro, however, made up of many different shots. So this is fairly common, this is basically a mixed down of a sequence. And instead of adding in my own edit points if I need to separate these shots, Premiere will analyze the footage and do it for me. So I'm going to just select the sequence and then I can right click and choose a scene edit detection. And here is where I tell it what I want Premiere to do in terms of adding cut points to this flattened footage. This option here, apply a cut at each detected cut point is going to do exactly that. It's going to add edits wherever it detects a new shot. This second option, create bin of sub clips from each detected cut point, it's going to take it a step further and actually add a bin in my project panel of all of the sub clips that correspond to these shots. And then if I want a less destructive method, I can just add markers at the points where the new shots are detected. I'm actually going to cancel out of this because if I do this right now, it's going to add a cut point to both the video and the audio. So if I just lock my audio and then perform that operation again. And I think I'm going to choose these first two, apply at cut at each cut point and create that bin of sub clips. We'll analyze. Okay, and you can see that the cut points were only added to the video, left the audio alone, and as I scrubbed through this, you can see that it's done a really nice job of placing those edit points exactly where I want them, which is when one shot stops and another begins. In addition, I have this bin here, and if I open that up, you can see that I have all of these sub clips that correspond to these various shots in the sequence. And I can load those into my source monitor. You can see that they are separate shots. Alright, so if I want to work with the separate shots, I can. If I want to manipulate these shots, change their order, delete them, that's fine. Say I want this shot to come before that one, I'll just press command option drag or control option drag on a PC, and now I've changed their order. Alright, if I want to add various color correction effects or other effects to these shots, this is now much easier to do now that I've added those cut points. Alright, so that's scene edit detection and quick export. There were certainly other features added to the version 14 point releases, but these are the two updates that are pertinent to the Premier Pro essential training.
