Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1 – Edit titles and cuts efficiently

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1, released in July 2013, introduced a number of innovations and improvements in the areas of efficiency and functionality. In this tutorial, you will learn how to make the most of these new features. We will specifically focus on editing titles, setting in and out points, and working with tracks.

Key Insights The new features in Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1 enable user-friendly title editing, flexible cutting points, and simplified track management.

Create a New Title and Sequence

To create a new title and generate a sequence from it, first head to your project panel. You can create a new title by considering the resolution and frame rate. For example, create a title named "PSD-Tutorials."

You then drag this title into your editing window. In the old version, a copy of the title always referenced the original source. With the new functionality, you can now copy a title without automatically updating the source. You can rename the copy as you wish without making changes to the original title.

Duplicating Titles

To duplicate a title, hold down the Alt key (Option key on Mac) while dragging the title. This creates a copy that is independent of the original source. Name the copy accordingly to avoid confusion. This feature makes it easier to work with multiple titles that require different text content.

Setting In and Out Points

Another useful feature is the ability to set in and out points to select segments of your clip. Set an in point at the desired starting point and an out point at the endpoint. With the combination Ctrl (or Command) + X, you can remove the marked section without having selected a specific clip. This also works with multiple tracks, allowing you to create your cuts efficiently.

If you want to restore the cut area, you can do so using the undo function (Ctrl or Command + Z).

Clip Deactivation and Track Management

One of the new advantages in Premiere Pro 7.0.1 is the improved management of tracks. You can deactivate individual clips, allowing the underlying clips to be visible. This enables you to try out different overlays and effects without having to fully remove the underlying clips.

If you want to select multiple clips at once, you can do so using the Shift key. The deactivation and activation of clips works through the right mouse button or with a shortcut (Shift + E on Windows, Command + Shift + E on Mac).

Using the Source Browser

The source browser has also been improved, allowing you to navigate between clips faster. By setting markers and creating nested sequences, you can make your editing more efficient. Additionally, you can determine a frame for viewing with the F key, which significantly simplifies navigation within your project.

Global Editing of In and Out Points

To globally delete in and out points, you can use a simple shortcut key combination. Select the clips you want to edit and press Ctrl + Shift + I on Windows to delete the in points. On Mac, this is done with the Option key + I. For the out points, use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + O or Option + O on Mac.

Summary - Innovations in Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1

The updates in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1 not only improve the workflow but also significantly enhance user-friendliness. From creating and editing titles to setting in and out points, and track management – all new features contribute to allowing you to work more efficiently and creatively.
