Firstly, in adobe premiere pro you must start a new project, you do this by selecting new from a small tab at the bottom of the media window, after that you select digital slr and select 1080p 30fps and name your sequence. Doing this opens a timeline so you can start your project.

 

After the previous step you must import your media. You do this by opening the folder that they in and simply dragging all of them the window on the bottom left of premiere pro. After this they will appear in the media window and all you have to after that is select the photos, drag them onto the correct place onto the timeline, add your audio which you imported with the images. Another thing to mention is that you need to resize the images in the software (Scale to frame size) as well then remove them from the timeline.

 

 

After this instead of setting the times for each photograph to appear in the movie manually you can set all of them in one go you do this by setting the still image default duration time. After that set the time top 5 seconds and hit ok. Now all you need to do is drag the new photos onto the timeline, add the audio and crop it to duration that the photos play for.

 

Next to export your movie you must first create an in and out point, you do this by firstly using the up arrow key to get the maker to the very beginning of the movie, next go to marker and select mark in, then go to the end of your movie and select the down arrow key, this is to get your marker at the end of the movie, and finally add and out point by hitting the O key.

 

 

After that you need to go to file, export and the pre-sets select format (H.264) and pre-set (YouTube 1080p). after this make sure that you have got your source range set to (sequence in/out). After that all you need to do is choose your file name, where to export to, and hit export.

 

 

What I think and how it went

 

I found using premier pro very challenging, this was due to a number of reasons, some of them being myself having never used the software before and multiple technical difficulties. I all round found the software not too difficult to understand but I feel like I ned a bit more practise with it. I am confident enough that I will be able to successfully use this software to create my final piece of work.
