5. Creating Cuts-only Videos

You will see very few transitions like dissolves or wipes in the video-editing world. Watch any TV news program, and virtually every edit in every story is a cut edit with no transitions. There is an art to creating cuts-only videos, and Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 gives you a full palette of cut edit tools and techniques.

Topics covered in this lesson:

• Using a storyboard to build a rough cut

• Editing clips on the Timeline

• Moving clips to, from, and within the Timeline

• Working with Source Monitor editing tools

• Adjusting clips in the Trim panel

• Using other editing tools
