This document discusses guided editing features in Adobe Premiere Elements that allow for trimming clips, adding transitions, narration, adjusting brightness and deleting unnecessary parts of clips. It describes how clips can be dragged and cut into separate clips to rearrange elements and delete irrelevant mini-clips. The guided editing also enables adjusting contrast, color temperature, and lightness, saturation, and vibrancy of clips individually. The tutorial has shown how to edit clips and cut for smoother transitions to make productions faster and more suited to trailer formats.

1. Guided edits in
premiere elements

2. Selecting what video clip I want to edit in the clip
organiser section. Enabling me to see exactly how
many clip I have available.
Selecting and right
clicking on the clip
then selecting
‘video editor’ then
it will let me know it
is being sent over
to the premiere so
that I can edit it.
The clip can be dragged
and expanded so that it is
easier to edit.

3. Selecting ‘guided’ at
the top of the page
and it enables me to
trim the frames or
add transitions,
narration, brightness
etc. I can delete
part of the clip which
is not effective.
Using the cursor you can drag
it across to remove certain
elements of the video. From
any point from within the clip
not just from the beginning or
end.

4. Using the scissors tool the
clips can be cut to be
made into separate clips
this could be useful during
our productions so that we
can place different
elements in a various order
In the trailer. A
chronological order would
mean that too much of the
storyline would be given
away.
After cutting parts of the clip and
making them into several individual
clips you can delete certain mini-clips
in-between that are
irrelevant.

5. Again the guided button can be used to change the
contrast of colour on the clips. By highlighting parts of the
clips you can change the temperature and time of the clips.
It enables you to change the lightness, saturation and
vibrancy individually.

6.  Watching this tutorial has enabled me to understand how to edit
clips and cut them for smoother transitions. In our production we will
be able to cut out parts of clips to make them faster and more
suited to the format of a trailer. It also means that during a particular
scene where we film the couple at the park bench in evening, we
can film in a brighter light and edit later on to make the transition
progress to evening time. It means there can be a stronger focus on
the use of colour in relation to the romance genre.
