It was the very first time I used the Premiere Pro; as I have been used to using Final Cut Pro, this was an entirely new experience. I was introduced to a new tool 'M', this is called a marker and its for the purpose of marking where you would like each base track to link.
This is how it looks after I marked and erased the base tracks; by using the erasing tool I was able to remove parts of a track without removing the entire base track.
A very confusing part of Premiere is the fist thing you drag into the timeline is not the soundtrack, which you automatically first do. However you start of by dragging one of the base tracks, this allows the time to be adjusted to the base track instead of the soundtrack; which sometimes has different times from the base tracks.
The selected tool in this screen shot is the select tool, this is the tool I used for selecting and grabbing the video into the timeline. I also used the selective tool to erase the different part of the base tracks I didn't need. Therefore, this leads into the erasing tool. The erasing tool is location right next to the select tool, I used the eraser tool to select the section I want to delete.
This first session, where we were both introduced and experimented how to complete a music video step by step; it felt much similar and easier to understand, than Final Cut Pro. It feels much easier to select and edit the parts of the clip that are not as important. I am quite excited to use this new software as I think it will allow me and my group to produce an impressive piece of work.
