The main steps in this video
Open the Previous Project: Open Premiere Pro and open the project file saved in Explainer 2.
Trim Video Clips:
Trim the video clips on the timeline to make them shorter by adjusting the starts and ends as needed, aiming for a maximum of 10 seconds per clip.
Trim the start or end of each clip by selecting the left or rightmost end, holding down the left mouse button, and dragging.
The preview panel shows the updated length of the clip while trimming.
For regular users of video editing software, searching for “three-point editing” online is suggested for a more professional way to trim clips.
Add Crossfades:
Use a keyboard shortcut to apply a default transition to all selected clips.
Select all the flower clips by holding down the Shift key and clicking on them.
Press Ctrl+D (Command+D on a Mac) to add an automatic fade-in at the start, a crossfade between each clip, and a fade-out at the end of the sequence.
To choose a different transition, go to the Effects panel, browse video transitions, right-click on the preferred transition, and set it as the default transition.
Render the Updated Sequence:
To render the updated sequence to a video file, go to File > Export > Media.
Refer to the previous explainer for help with rendering settings.
