Hi, this is Margaret with Noble Desktop. Today, we're going to look at the button editor in Premiere Pro.
Over here on the bottom of your program monitor is where you find it. Any of these items here can be dragged down into this menu port. I'm going to drag down a few of my favorites - these are the defaults that come with it. I'll drag down a few that are the most common.
These are just adding a marker, mark in with playhead, mark out, go to in, go to out, back frame by frame, forward frame by frame, play, lift or extract (will delete anything with an in and out point, leave a gap, and close the gap), and safe margins.
The inner margin is for text and the outer margin is for actions. Your text should really be here, maybe with a little gap beneath the line. This is true for projection more than for exporting for the web.
You also have line and transform, horizontal and vertical centering. Essentials graphic panels also have this outer box, which is for action. You want to make sure any kind of significant action is within this outer line - this is called action safe.
And you have the ability of creating a still with the export frame button, which is enormously useful. You can uncheck import into project.
Toggle multi-cam view is for multi-cam editing, which is a whole lesson onto itself. Toggle proxies is the ability to edit with footage that isn't the highest quality you shot on. For example, if you shot your film on 6K, you can create a proxy that's pro res 422 or any type of lower res. If it's on, you're editing with the pro res footage, not your 6K.
Comparison view is found under color wheels and match. This allows you to compare lighting and color. If you want to match one lighting to another, you can say "apply match". You can also view face detection.
When you're finished with these, you can say "save layout" or drag them back up. I hope you've enjoyed this lesson on the button editor in Premiere Pro. This has been Margaret with Noble Desktop.
