Welcome back. last lesson we were looking at downloading music. So I selected my truck, and I downloaded the mp3. And now I'm going to find it and bring it into the project. Most likely it's in the Downloads folder. So I'm back in Adobe Premiere, and I'm going to double click in the blank area on the media browser and let's see if we can find the clip.
Okay, it's called hypnotize. I'm just going to bring two clips in two music trucks, I mean. Okay. So now we need to create our sequence or first timeline, as you can see, this area's blank. So how do we do that? First, we need to make a decision about why resolution and frame rates we are going to create this project in.
Because we have video clips that are full HD at 29.97 frames per second, we've got ultra 4k HD clips. And so what I'm going to do, because I'm going to publish this on YouTube, I'm going to publish. I'm going to create the sequence in full HD. But I'm going to use the high resolution footage in the HDX project. And by doing this, you have more flexibility with these high resolution clips to do things like zoom in, but you're not going to lose the resolution on the project. I do want to create one That's 24 frames per second because that's the film look.
So I'm just going to go ahead and go File New sequence. And I'm just going to use a DSLR 10 at 24 frames, projects and the name of the project I'll just call mean bid. Okay, that was hidden behind there. Okay, so here's our main timeline. So let's start off by just putting one video clip in there just to start things off. Usually I like to do a drone clip okay.
That's a pretty strong opening here. Okay, so I'm just gonna mark in here, mark out there. And then to insert just a video. I click on this part here, and then I'm going to drag it down to v one, which is our main video track. Okay, so it's saying this video clip doesn't match the sequence settings, because this is actually a 4k clip. And this is a sequence as an HD project.
So it's asking do we change the sequence to match the clip settings and now I want to keep the existing settings so I'm gonna select that. And now that we have a clip in there Just insert the music track. And to do that, we highlight the music track we want and we drag it into a one. Okay, so now we have one music track in there, and we have one video clip. And we'll just go over some things here of how you can work with audio before we go any further. So with the audio clip highlighted, if I want to make adjustments to music, I can go over to the Effect Controls.
If I want to make adjustments to his video clip, I would highlight it over here. And I can also adjust this in Effect Controls but I want to adjust the audio. So we highlight that and you can see we've got the file there so you have the ability to expand the level And we can change the volume that's currently set at six. Because this is a travel music video, I do want this music video track to be heard. So I'm just going to leave it. If you want it to reduce the volume for any reason, you could just move this down and you can see that's minus 12 db.
You can reset it over here. If you wanted to fade it in, you can go to effects and I believe it's called fade under on your facts now, okay, so we need to actually find exponential thing. They don't have the best of names to describe. Some of these effects like this will be a fade in. It's like Drag this effect down into the audio clip. And then I like to zoom in by pressing plus c mode is minus.
And I'll just curb that document by clicking and dragging. Okay, notice this video does look a bit off into the crops and want to see if I can just zoom out a bit. So I right click and ice and they set the frame size. Now, we can go to Effect Controls. And we can scale this. I'll just show you here.
See, notice how remember I mentioned When we're working with 4k footage and an HD project, we can zoom in without using losing the resolution. So that's what that is over here. So a really cool effect would be to do what we call keyframe. And we'll cover that later that's a little bit more advanced. But what that will do is it'll zoom in while the video is playing. So that's a new technique that a lot of people are doing.
So why don't you go ahead and import your music and create your sequence, put in your first video projects and then what you can do is go back to the your other video clips and start thinking about how you want to put together your finished video and what type of story that you want to Put together. And when we come back, I'm going to start bringing more clips into my project. And we'll have more of a work in progress. And I'll talk more about the timeline area.
