For the editing process, there are some things you can and/or need to do. First off, is opening the software that you need to do said editing. When starting up Premiere Pro, you need to do this on a mac after resetting turning on the computer. To do this, you need to start up the mac and hold down alt. It'll soon restart as mac and when it loads up, you log in and click on the Premiere Pro icon. Just wait for it to load up and then you'll be able to start up.
When it loads up, it shall then come up with this screen. When you get into this screen, you move your cursor to the new project icon, clicking on it so you can start up said new project.
Once you start up the new project, you shall be met by this screen. The part on the top left is for when you pick a scene, you can choose to edit certain things. The part on the top right is to play throughout the whole video you're making. The part on the bottom left is where your shots are put, alongside with editing options and where you can put your music once you download. And finally, the part on the bottom right is where your sequence is placed and where you can move everything around and edit things.
Of course, you need your shots in the first place. In order to do this, you need to import your files and get them in there. You go into downloads after downloading your files onto the computer and when finding them, you import them into the project.
When you find them, you highlight said shots and then click import to put them into your project. Then, you can start editing.
Once the shots are imported, the box on the bottom the left will now have the shots in it, allowing you to start using them.
To put the shots onto the bottom right corner, you click on the shot and drag it over to the bottom right so its now in the sequence, so now you can start editing in question.
Now, when you click on a shot, it'll appear in the top left hand box, allowing you to edit the effects and the look of it overall.
When you have the shot up in the top left box, you pick the effect controls on top of the box and this allows you to start altering how it looks overall. The one in the top left is the master controls, affecting the light and shadows; changing this will change how its brightness is and the shadows. The next one along is the red, affecting how much red is in said shot, so you can add and get rid of the amount of red in the shot. Its much the same for the next two, only with green and blue, adjusting how much green and blue is in the shot.
An effect you can do is to make a shot fade to black, or as it is called in the effect, "dip to black". You can type into the search bar after picking the effects tab in the bottom left box. You'll soon find it and then you can drag the effect to the shot that you want, where you want. Then you can alter the dip to black on said sequence.
When you want text in your video, you pick file at the top of the screen, go to new and click on title. That is how you add text into the shot you want.
When you click said new title, this little screen pops up. You can change what you want it to look like and everything, then you just click okay to apply a new title. Then, you start typing out what text you want to come onto the screen.
When you click okay, you then are met with a small screen, where you can add your text anywhere onto your shot and how long it carries on for, what font you want, the size you want it to be and what colour you want it to be as well.
When you save it, it'll turn up as text in your bottom left box. You can then drag it to the appropriate place that you want it to be at, therefore adding into the sequence.
Finally, is exporting the final product. When you want to export your finished product, you go to the file drop down once again and go to export, where you go onto it and click on media.
Final step is simply. Just click on export and wait for a little bit and that's all you have to do. There are more effects you can add of course, yet those you choose by yourself from the effects drop down.
