7-Step Quickstart to Premiere Pro

Change the Premiere Pro workspace by arranging panels, access the four main panels through window, workspaces, editing, and reset to the saved layout to restore the factory setup.

Import media into Premiere Pro by selecting File, Import, and browsing to the media folder. Use Shift Click to select all files, then confirm import to populate the Project Panel.

Open the source monitor to view media, set precise in and out points with mark in/out, and refine selections using spacebar and arrow keys.

Master timeline basics by using video tracks V1–V3 and audio tracks A1–A3, adjusting height, scrolling, and zooming to view duration; add clips, mark in and out, arrange around 35 seconds.

Trim clips in the timeline to adjust duration using the selection tool and red arrows, remove gaps with ripple delete, and extend clips by moving neighboring clips.

Learn to move clips around the timeline using cut, copy, and paste with paste insert, snap to edit points, and keyboard shortcuts like Command/Ctrl dragging, arrow keys, and undo.

Organize a project folder, import media, set in/out points, place clips on the timeline, and refine edits with trimming, music, and transitions, then export the final video.
