Let's go over some shortcuts and effects you can use that are built into premiere that will really speed up and make your workflow much better. The first is switching between these things. We previously went over the pen tool it P and that allows you to make keyframes and do audio adjustments on the clip. And we learned that pressing v. v takes us back to our cursor. And if you hover over these in parentheses, you'll see the letter that's the shortcut and learning these is worth it. Because the quicker you can change between tools, the quicker you'll edit, and that'll save you time and money.

The most important ones to learn for audio editing, RP and In fact, a cursor as well as C, and that's for video two. And C is I think C for cut. That's what, that's what c does the razor tool. So if you hit C, you'll be able to start chopping up your audio, make cuts. And so we would see, looking at the waveform, we can tell this all dead space in the dialogue. Back to be delete, hit play.

Well, let's solo this. My name is Jason Brando. Let's take my name out of it, see the Delete, key and delete in this dead space and switching between C and V. Luckily, they're right next to each other on the keyboard. The quicker you get at that, the quicker you will be as an editor overall. So see the MP get used to those. Now let's learn about effects.

Not effects, controls, effects. And there's a bunch that come in Premiere. There's a bunch of audio effects. And most of these in Premiere are not worthwhile. That's just the honest truth. If you want to do reverb and delay, you're better off doing it in a different program.

But luckily, video editors don't need to do that too often. And if you need to these effects still get the job done. And we'll get into that later. What I do want to show you that we use all the time are the audio transitions, and there's three of them. The default one you can see it's highlighted in blue. The default one is constant power.

So if you click this and drag it on to a cut, let's drag it on the music. That's the default length of fade and it fades from nothing up to normal. So that's a fade. And let's say we want it to be a super short fade and we can drag, we can hover over the end of the cross fade until our cursor changes and go like that. So then it gets up to volume in that amount of time. Or if we want it to be very slow Faden, make it as long as we want to be good.

And usually you'll be doing a fade out. So constant power. There. Let's say we wanted to start. We've got a long fade out. You can do this whole section here.

Right. Now constant power is the most used. But perhaps the secret weapon in premier is the exponential fade. And what the difference actually is, is a constant power is linear. To show you, I'll basically just draw what's happening. So a constant power fade.

It's like this goes down a constant linear value. So it's a very, it's very smooth. And it's great in almost every case, which is why it's the default and premiere. But the exponential fade is extremely powerful because what exponential fade does is does something like this. And so it's a sharper, it's a sharper drop off. But what Putting what happens when you put the exponential exponential fade on, let's say an ending.

When you're done with it, when you're at the output of this clip, your audio will have for sure reached zero. happens very quickly. constant power. It's slower and smoother. But to ensure that, let's say you're working on a 62nd edit for a commercial, and it has to be exactly 60 seconds. That's your out point right there.

Cut the audio, pretend we did an amazing ending. And if you put constant power here, there's a chance that there's some audio that's played on the very last frame. And if you drag exponential fade on instead, you'll be sure that the last frame of your video has no sound. I'll see you may have seen if you have an exponential fade and you want to see what a constant power sounds like, you can drag it on top and it'll keep the same length that it had. So I recommend using those two constant games as something else as well, but you usually won't need it. And once you get the hang of crossfades the shortcut Cut on a Mac is Command Shift D. Remember for video, the shortcut for a dissolve, which is the video version of the crossfade would be command Z.

So if you hit command, if you select a cut point, oops. If you select a cut point and hit command, shift D, there you go. And again, it'll bring up default constant power, which you could change in Premiere settings if you want to, but it's good for most cases, and that way, you don't have to navigate to effects and then type in fade, it really speeds you up. That's my favorite shortcut is Command Shift D for the crossfade. On Windows, it's Ctrl Shift T. And that way when you are cutting your dialogue in you're going between C and the trimming your editing and There's some noise here and you want to not hear anything here until it gets there. Command Shift D. That's too much.

But that way, you won't hear any abrupt noises here if there were. It's a good way to, it's a good way to smooth things out. Remember p for pencil C for cut v to get back to your selection tool, and crossfades are Command Shift D. So this will speed you up and help you out a lot.
