hey what's up guys Jays $0.02 here and I'm going to bring you another one of these bonus videos here that's kind of on the outside of my normal upload schedule because a lot of you seem very interested in my Adobe Premiere Pro workflow which is very basic but yet very efficient and a lot of you are aspiring content creators and I figured this might help some people now today's video is being brought to you by video blocks which is a service that I have used for three years now because I started using video blots when I first started my channel back in 2012 video blocks is a website where you can download and use royalty-free different motion backgrounds templates for After Effects for creating intros or logo reveals which is something that a lot of aspiring content creators lack is a very good intro so you could download one of these and tailor it towards your channel or your stream or whatever you want stock footage which is really good for kind of you know project creations if you're doing maybe little short films or feature films and you want to you need like aerial flybys and things I've got all sorts of stuff there but not only does video blocks have their templates here which they host they also have a marketplace here where professional content creators and graphics designers can create templates for people like you and me to use upload it to the marketplace and receive 100 percent commission on their work so it's definitely worth taking a look at not only as a content creator for end-users but also for creating content for other people to use and make a little bit of money on your work so if that sounds interesting to you then head to video blocks by using the link in the description sign up for a free trial and start checking out some of these awesome templates today and take your project to the next level so I figured because of the amount of messages and comments that I got on the last Premiere Pro video that I did I would kind of maybe do mini series here sort of like a noob teaching a noob now even though I've been video editing now for many years I'm not a graphics designer I'm just a basic video editor I've got my style like it works and I can get through my editing very quickly because I don't like editing I like playing with the hardware I like hooking it up I like building PCs and overclocking and benchmarking I don't like spending hours and hours and hours on video editing because that's not fun and even though it's in this necessary evil and to get the video out to you guys I just don't like spending my time on that so I have found very efficient ways of getting through my workflow and I figured I would share that with you guys today now there's a couple of things I think we need to do for Adobe Premiere Pro Creative Cloud which is what I'm using right here I'm using the 2014 version because I've heard about too many bugs with the 2015 so I'm using 2014 I figured we'd show you guys a couple of ways to get it set up so that one you don't lose all your work and two you can get through your work more quickly and have more fun gaming and building computers or whatever else it is that you are doing now the first thing we're going to do here is we're going to get our premier Pro set up to do auto saving much more frequently because by default it's set to 20 minutes now if you were to lose 20 minutes of work it wouldn't be a huge deal but damn it sometimes I have things set up exactly how I want them and I don't want to go backwards 20 minutes if something crashed and let's face it Adobe is prone to crashing so you can go to file I like to the back go to edit preferences and then just go to general now in general is where you can play with a lot of different stuff for instance you have your video transition default duration and this is number of frames or you can set it to seconds now one of the things that I've done here is I like much quicker transitions so I've set that to 6 frames audio transition duration is a second still image default duration is 5 seconds we'll set that to 6 actually meant to do that so now every time you pull a transition or a file into here like an image it's going to automatically use these parameters which is going to save you a lot of time without having to constantly trim your transitions or your you know your still image on screen duration you can set it here and then adjust it for the ones that are going to be outside of the norm but anyway appearance some of you like a dark screen some of you like a light screen so you can use this right here to make it more pleasing on the eyes if you're doing a lot of nighttime editing darker would be better you know if you're in a dark office but anyway we're going to move down to autosave here which is very important because we want to automatically save projects this is a big deal if you're not automatically saving and you get a power loss or you get a corrupt file or you accidentally hit something to delete your timeline like a certain somebody on Twitter you know you are then you can actually come back and recover your data I have mine set to every five minutes by default it's set to 20 minutes so every five minutes the worst case scenario I would lose the last five minutes of work it's also set to save a maximum of twenty versions of the project so once it has saved five or excuse me wants it to save twenty versions of the project it will then on project save number 21 it will overwrite number 120 to overwrite number two etc etc so you've always got a very several versions of the project that you can actually fall back on should you lose your data now memory is the thing where you can now memory tab here you can use to kind of allocate how much memory is available to Premiere Pro because I've got 32 gigs of memory on the system and when I am doing rendering I am using premiere I'm not really doing other things on the system so I've allocated all but six gigabytes of the system memory to Premiere Pro which really helps during quicker rendering and good playback that way we don't get laggy playback but you can actually customize this for different projects or programs in the Adobe cloud as well we got sync settings here that's no that's really gonna be all that important right now but yeah other than that we are going to go ahead and move into our workflow now that we've got that set up so it has saved our project if we open up our whatchamacallit over here and we go to our premier folder which is where I'm using you see right up here I'm using YouTube premier tips and tricks for the tips and tricks there is our autosave right there so there's the auto-saves that we've just seen happening as we've been doing this tutorial and this will continue to stack up to 20 files and then if something crashes you just go if this doesn't work or you accidentally mess up then you can go back and open up one of these and continue with your work it's a very good fallback plan now one of the things with video editing that you'll find yourself doing quite often is transitions trimming lengthening and shortening a clip multiple video tracks maybe multiple audio tracks and it can get very cumbersome and tedious trying to sit here and you know constantly trim things and make sure that you know the transition duration is right where you want it and that can take forever now this audio or this transition right here of video transition is going to default to wherever we set it over here in the Preferences if you remember so I have a set to six frames wherever you set that when you pull in a transition that's the default that it's going to be now navigating over here through the effects bin you can you can use a search like you know tip if you know if you want dip to white you can drag that over so you want to crossfade you can do it'll bring up all the crossfade stuff if you got cross dissolve every up crust is all but that's tedious and it takes time and over long periods of time typing and all that stuff and trying to find it and drag and drop it's going to take forever so here's the way I do it I do right over here in the effects band down the gray area I do right-click new custom bin we can name that whatever we want we'll call it J's lazy stuff how's that because that's pretty accurate description now I'm going to drag all of the stuff that I know that I use down in there so I used bass enhancement for the audio and I use treble enhancement as well because the level ear mic lacks a little bit of trouble I like to use cross dissolve so I'll drag cross dissolve down there I also like to use exponential fade which is for audio bring that down there I use constant gain as well I drag that down there let's see I use dip to white and black so we'll drag both of those down there so now instead of having to search through all of these files or folders and then type in stuff I can just open up my project and know my J's lazy stuff is going to have all of the stuff in there that I regularly use so now I can let's say I just dragged this b-roll piece over here and I trimmed it to the right size I just dip the white BAM let's say we are going to do let's say we're going to an intro we're gonna do my intro thing over there so we'll go over your productivity YouTube design elements we'll say intro short will drag that over there and we'll do that so maybe we'll do this well just this this editing is not going to make a whole lot of sense here because I'm just doing it for the sake of showing you functionality so now the numbers really shouldn't be all that surprising considering this the fourth 980ti that we've taken a look at I find it kind of it just alright so we need to say that's a little hook we'll put that in the front we've got a transition there we'll snap that all together drag all of this bring it back to the left so this is the way it looks now you know the numbers really shouldn't be all that surprising considering this is the fourth 980ti that we've taken a look at I find it kind of so I've got that red frame in there that I've got to figure out that's been bugging me for a while so I could drag that down get rid of that red frame and there we go so maybe you don't want yeah that to just pop in maybe you want to dip to white and a dip to white out so you get this look at I find it kind of interesting that they're all competing there we go now speeding up and slowing down so you get that barnacle ease effect we'll call it let's find something here that's made worth speeding up of slowing heiresses thee and we'll cut this part ends and how these brands and how they survive if you guys aren't buying the brand they're not buying the brand there so we'll cut it there if you guys aren't buying so we'll do this now we will do a speed and duration we'll put that 125 we will also now highlight this clip here because when you speed up the volume it's kind of funny too to also push in a little bit on the person so we will say we will highlight this clip we'll go up here to effects controls click motion and then you can drag the little edge tool here and like pull it in I mean look at that guy that guy are there you could get to take him serious don't you alright okay so do it like that's and you get this dude because your dollars are ultimately what speaks in you know when it comes to brands and how they survive if you guys are buying the brand they're not going to survive obviously it's 20 how business works see there's that that's kind of how the speed up and slow down works nothing real crazy about it anyway I hope this video has helped some people it's just a quick there's kind of a quick tips and tricks I wanted to put out there this bin right here has saved me hours of time over the long run depending on how long it takes you to edit in your workflow it takes me about an hour and a half now to edit a 15 minute video going through all of my outtakes and stuff and messing up and having to do Reece Peaks and sometimes rerecord that's the way I get through it so I hope this has helped you guys hope it makes you guys a little bit faster at your editing and if you guys are aspiring to be content creators then keep at it that's the best piece of advice I have don't give up and just do it because you enjoy doing it don't do it because you hope to get a huge giant audience and free stuff because that's really not the way it it usually works out so best of luck to you guys and tell me if you want me to keep this series alive let me know what kinds of things you would like me to include that way I know what kind of content to create so I know what you guys are interested in when it comes to Premiere Pro anyway thanks for watching thank you to videoblocks for sponsoring today's video member head over to the video blocks if you want to get some free templates that you can use now I plan on doing a video also in the future where I take one of the template videos or templates for like an intro and show you guys how you can use video blocks to make a very professional and awesome intro for your live streams or your videos or whatever so you guys can see exactly how to edit those files and turn them into something amazing so hope this has helped once again thanks for watching we'll see you on the social sphere and if not I will see you in the next video take care and we're going to save this because that's just what you do whenever you walk away from a project you save it
