PID for PC: ctrl, alt delete, task manager, data tab and the PID number is there. PC quick copy for adobe products is ALT ;-)

[@crismatus8407]

It didn't work in my PC. It says kill not recognized. :(

[@AnnaKincaid]

@@crismatus8407 that is strange. Are you referring to the ctsl, alt delete to bring up the task manager or using the alt button for the hot keys like atl and scrolling on your mouse will make it zoom in and out.

[@ardoiders]

How bout key for Select All in windows keyboard?

[@MrSt1nky]

That will get you the PID. To kill a task the command is taskkill -pid and the PID number. Theres a /F switch to force the kill but it would likely also kill the save prompt.

[@emangrandeza]

Select All should be Ctrl + A @@ardoiders

[@ummsamjones]

Hi Peter, I love your tutorials. They're so in-depth but make so much sense. I've been battling with trying to understand the different codecs and methods of exporting using Premiere Pro and I'd love it if you did a tutorial on the differences and how you export your clips to maintain quality but not make them 1TB! Cheers

[@vickimd87]

Your voice doesn't sound bad, YOU SOUND AWESUM!!!!!!! Wow and some amazing tips, Im a visual artist trying to work with film and I didn't even know I was missing out on all those small things which really will make such a difference to my editing now. I have been hating it and wanting to smash the computer, doing online tutorials that seem to skip all those shortcuts so my Gawd am I excited to put them to use now! What a dream ....thank you so so much :)

[@hyoung7342]

Have learnt so many things about filmmaking for teacher P. Thank you Peter!😄ཽ

[@MyFirstMustang]

Waaaaaay late to this video, BUT: would you ever go over your Premier Pro export settings? They made a world of difference for my final results, but I know that they could always be better. Maybe a stand-alone 2 minute Tuesday or a refresh of this tutorial with some new tips? Thanks!

[@joajiechannel9975]

Thanks so much Peter! As a new creator, I often dive into frustration because editing takes so long and rather painful. Knowing these tips will make I enjoy editing much more.

[@KoshMobile]

If I knew all those when I started editing half a year ago, it would save me days or maybe weeks of my time. Simple and mindblowing! Thank you!

[@SarahIngleOfficial]

Thank youuuu! 🙌🏻 Impeccable timing. I just switched from FCPX - literally still working on my first video in Premiere. SO glad I switched, but it was driving me insane to start over and to take 20x longer because I don’t know any shortcuts and had to google everything. 😳 You just saved me so much time and prevented so many headaches. I wish I would have watched 16 hours ago when you uploaded because I would be done with my edit and sleeping now. 😂

[@oliverwright]

Sarah Ingle noooo, come back to us 😂 if you reverted back I just converted this for FCPX if you’re interested 🤷‍♂️

[@joshharvey3654]

Hi Peter, as a semi new filmmaker i love all your videos. Wondering if you could just film some B-Roll and then screen record the full edit, with some commentary of what you're doing. Would love to see the entire process to hopefully improve my editing skills! Thank you for all your help Peter.

[@oscargadefrimann]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWeog3iCqMqSh7s Well, this is not Peter Mckinnon editing. This an editor from LinusTechTips, if you know what that is, and in this 4 and nearly a half hour video, you'll see his whole editing process plus a lot more information. I think it is pretty great.

[@StephanieStoven]

YES! Thank you!! My workload will be a lot easier now. More videos like this please :)

[@importedloser]

6:07 this is a great way to get a widescreen feel on a 16:9 video but you're better off just changing the sequence dimensions from 1920 x 1080 to 1920 x 816. If you put bars over a 16:9 image, it looks like a 2.35 crop but when you play it back on anything that isn't a 16:9 aspect ratio you'll get weird vertical letterboxing around the edges, if you render the sequence as 1920 x 816 anything you play that file back on will automatically adjust the letterboxing on the top and bottom of the frame to suit the size of the file.

[@MarlonKingShow]

Tip six, thank you! I always do control “A” which selects all, not premiere function.

[@optimuss_jedi2394]

Just to be clear , the last tip. The “que” is that only for rough drafts . You still have to export your final one after all the editing is done lol?

[@AKROHITHgoogleplus]

No, lemme explain. What queue does is, it sends out the rendering task to another application named Adobe Media encoder, thus freeing premiere pro of the burden. You can send anything thing to the render queue and continue working. It's just rendering happening in a different application that can be minimized. Ps: Adobe media encoder is a standalone application for the sole purpose of handling rendering from premiere pro, After effects and even of direct files.

[@guhankrishna1557]

@@AKROHITHgoogleplus So what if the first 1 min of the video is already rendered and exported and you make an edit in that?

[@AKROHITHgoogleplus]

Its like you made a drawing, sent it to print, already half way through it only to realise you want some changes. What do you do? You throw away the first print, make your changes and reprint the whole thing.
