What Adobe Premiere Pro is Used For?

 What Is Adobe Premiere Pro?

Adobe Premiere Pro is one of the go-to editing tools for video, including film, TV, and clips for the web and social media. If you are an Adobe CC subscriber and have seen this tool but haven’t given it a whirl, what are you waiting for?

While Premiere Pro can look a little intimidating at first, functionality is rooted in the same principles as other Adobe products and with a little tinkering, you should figure it out pretty quick (and there’s plenty of documentation and online help available).

So, what is Adobe Premiere Pro and how can you make this most of this video-editing tool? Let’s take a look.

Uses Of Adobe Premiere Pro

Video content is a must-have element of all kinds of projects, including website design. Even if you never plan to become a professional video editor, having the ability to perform simple edits can come in handy for any creative professional.

If you are already an Adobe subscriber, the good news is that you already have access to Premiere Pro with a full Creative Cloud plan. You just have to install it and get started.

The best thing about using Premiere Pro is that it works with all the files you are working on for other projects. It reads native Adobe files, including PSD files and AI files so that you can drop logos or other parts of projects right into working video files. (This is probably my favorite feature.)

Here’s how Adobe describes their video editing tool:

Premiere Pro is the leading video editing software for film, TV, and the web. Creative tools, integration with other Adobe apps and services, and the power of Adobe Sensei help you craft footage into polished films and videos in one seamless workflow. And Premiere Rush, our new app, is included with your subscription so you can capture footage and start editing on all your devices, anywhere.

Premiere Pro allows for both video image and audio editing. (Images and sounds even have separate editing tracks to separate and professionally manage the process.)

Premiere Pro allows users to open files and work with any modern video format, including 8K, web files, and even virtual reality. The tool allows you to start with tons of native video formats and save to standard file types for easy replay and viewing.

The thing to keep in mind is that Premiere Pro is pretty heavy-duty software and does require some computing space on a decently powered machine. If you want to do lighter editing on the go, Premiere Pro standalone plans and Creative Cloud plans include Premiere Rush, a video-editing app that works across devices and allows you to work on files between the app and Premiere Pro on your desktop.

What Can You Do With It?

Adobe Premiere Pro is a versatile tool once you get the hang of it.

You can edit video? Snip clips from larger files to make your complication, add b-roll to an audio track, or create a collage with still images, moving images, text elements, and sound.

Premiere Pro is robust enough that you can create and edit a full-length feature film, but it’s doubtful that most users will need this application.

Common uses include:

You might use it to convert a video clip to a format and size that will play on a website.

You might add captions or an intro/outro to a clip before posting it online.

You can edit out a few seconds of a video and replace them with something else.

You might adjust color for better viewing.

You might tweak volume levels or sound quality to clean up scratchy or difficult audio.
