[@georgeholliday123]

Peter McKinnon the intro!

[@camrongloudon4889]

Peter McKinnon yesterday was my birthday dude and I love #8

[@ryanpereira8133]

PETER!!!! Can I film a video with you?!

[@ZealotCuber]

Still watching

[@epochstories]

5:59 when you cough and you added a little shake to the screen. It's these little details that makes me admire your work

[@tarunjain1252]

EPOCH I noticed that too :)

[@raingamluikham4563]

Totally loved it

[@AmazingChiangMai]

Noticed it too.. great that people actually pay attention to those details as well :)

[@kristianmortensen1341]

EPOCH THIS! actually made me laugh!

[@meshachshakes]

EPOCH I didn’t notice that, thanks for mentioning:

[@AnnaKincaid]

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

[@nicocoregames]

Damn thanks for all those tips. Really helpful info!!!

[@kayyywild]

Love it! The quick pace and energy you bring to your videos makes it all the easier to watch!

[@RobertoBlake]

This was one of your best videos for creators!!! This just gave me a brilliant idea for a Photoshop tutorial!!!

[@nefertitimontoya]

Roberto Blake that would be an awesome video! Do itttttt

[@alexandrotheodorou]

I agree, this was an amazing video

[@RobJorg]

Photoshop tutorial you say, Create something awesome Roberto, im watching your video's now.

[@AdventuresThings]

Roberto Peter tutorial?

[@bvlee1974]

THIS would be a collab I'd love to see.

[@fabx5033]

I just started using Premiere Pro and I really appreciate the basic tips! Thanks, Peter, for providing content for newbies.

[@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.

[@Jupitertvv]

I’ve been following your content for about 5 years. My work has improved so much, my efficiency is up 200 percent since I started. Thank you for your work, you deserve every sub you have 👏🏼

[@gavinmcintosh3201]

I love how the song that was in the title cards was teased throughout the whole video then finally played at the end.

[@UNPRECEDENTEDPICTURES]

I find myself constantly revisiting this tips tutorial. Love it! I'd say the proxy tip will be my favourite, as it's one that I am currently in need of at the moment. Thanks Peter!

[@MTFOphantom]

These types of tutorial videos are only good and informative when the person making it is cool, entertaining, engaging, etc. Which is why this is probably my FAVORITE tutorial. Thanks man!!! You're gonna be the reason I am able to sharpen my skills. I am brand spankin new to editing. But watching this gave me a lot more confidence in my ability to get better.

[@nick__zamudio]

Doesn’t have Premiere Pro..... still watches video and smashes the like button

[@SchoolOfMuscle]

[@Rjmc19]

[@nick__zamudio]

Nice! Fcpx here lol

[@crochetedcritterz]

[@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. 😂

[@ODDWRIGHTSHORTS]

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

[@Shifty379]

Great video! Your premiere videos are the best I've found. I've only been dipping my toes into premiere and your videos help me learn more. You do a good job explaining how to and showing what your tips and techniques actually do. Your video energy is also very good keeping me engaged to learning new things. Keep it up!

[@jimmymorgan9808]

You helped me a lot dude, the first few tips were game changers for me! So simple but so effective!

[@JacobHandal]

I actually loved the fact that when you sneezed you actually applied an effect to shake the cameraa😂😂 that shows the dedication you put into your videos...good work peter nice work!!!😂😎😎😎👊

[@RenataPereiraTV]

Wings Films That was amazing! Loved it too 🙌

[@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

[@mikesaunders8874]

dude - you are AWESOME - high energy - very engaging! Just learning my way around Pr - and your tutorials are so fun, good and easy to watch! Thanks!

[@SambitPhD]

Love your videos! Watched it complete twice and it improved my editing time significantly! Can't thank you more!

[@InfiniteGamerXI]

Love the proxies part! Can’t wait to use this, I’ve been editing my choppy videos since I started using pro :c it sucked and it was so frustrating! Thank you once again for another helpful, fun, video!

[@VibeGator01]

Your videos really give me so much joy!!! I love your work man...especially the way you pass info with so much liveliness and passion to help. Keep up the great work Peter!!🥂✊

[@ariannastahlbaum1277]

My friends and I are sitting in a library during dead week and they've been laughing at my facial expressions while watching this video. I've been doing videography for almost two years now, all sefl-taught basically, and I cannot believe how easy these are and how much time I will save. I had SO much fun watching this video! Thank you for sharing these tips and tricks! :)

[@BenGorski]

Came back to this. Man, this guy does making learning a very time consumed, and even frustrating process so much more fun.

[@toddletrails1016]

Played this while I had my first big project going on Premiere Pro. I'm SO glad I have all of these tricks right from the getgo. Glad to have upgraded my video editing program, videos like these make it less intimidating

[@NewyTechPeople]

This was so refreshing and easy to watch in learn. Your delivery was spot on! Thanks man!

[@HannahLouM]

This gives me excitement to finally start editing my videos in premiere pro ❣️Thanks for this awesome tips ❤️

[@M4tt925]

Wow, thanks for making it so easy to understand for someone who is brand new to premiere pro. I’m sure I’ll be referring to this video many times in future editing sessions!

[@JoshPavano]

Watched this vid. 20 mins later I’m editing footage and pinwheel of death shows up! How ironic, that’s never happened before. Used Peter’s tip. Saved. LOVING MY LIFE. Thanks Peter!

[@OmerNaor]

[@obliterate1297]

Been editing for a few months now, not consistently, but here and there i'll throw down some edits for some gaming clips. A lot of these helped me, and inspired me to go further, and try my best to proceed. Thnx man!

[@CerebralAilment]

Its honestly the little things that capture my attention enough to learn something. Yeah I could click on some big long 2 hour tutorial but the chances of me actually watching the entire thing is slim. Watching this again in 2021 and I had forgotten about a couple of these. Thanks Pete!

[@dunnadidit]

I personally believe in a *done is better than perfect* approach in regards to my cubic inches.

[@RossCampoli]

Thanks for this good info! I’ve been good enough at premiere for a while, but am really looking to optimize my workflow to save my time and make better content in less time. Thanks so much! 👍

[@VilchesAnthony]

Watched your videos for a while now just because, finally installed creative cloud about two days ago and all I have to say is Peter you are the man!

[@janaj22]

Excellent! Love these time-generating tips. I can see how I can turn wasted time using these short cuts. Moving footage shortcut - track select - is my favorite as I will use that Shift/A all the time now. Yes, you sound epic. thanks, thank you!

[@aroundthegoodworld]

Never clicked faster on a video... Most of them I didn't know! Such an inspiration for my channel. Keep it up Pete :)

[@JamesDeaneDance]

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!

[@dancolson1455]

You make all of us better......thank you

[@colebelt8483]

Ahh, I can’t pick just one! Proxies and Drop Shift for damn sure though! gonna save so much tedium. Thanks, dude and hope you get to feelin’ better soon!

[@erikarmbricht1092]

I don't sub very often at all, but this dude's energy and knowledge is inspiring! Got me working on an old project that I've been putting off for months, PLUS I've been using tips from this video to help save me time. Thanks bud!

[@APunisherKnight]

Thanks for the great tips, tried a lot of them out as I listened and took a half page of notes. Greatly appreciated.

[@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!

[@MetalForBreakfast]

Oh my gosh!!The color grade by source file tip is AMAZING!! Dude thank you! 🤘

You are my motivation for editing.After i watch your any transition video i just try to edit like that but some time its difficult but i try again watch the video carefully and then i am able to do it. Great love for you man

[@robsison205]

Personally when color grading, I would put an adjustment layer on top of the clip and just drag it across the timeline where I want it.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

So many minutes of tips 🤯

[@MylesVMurphy]

Thanks Peter for making this video! Lots of great content. I am definitely going to try proxies.

This is great stuff. I've been editing in FCPX since it's release and am really fast and know all kinds of little tips and tricks that make editing better and faster. I just got a new job where I have to use premiere pro and some of these tips REALLY help specifically since I'm used to the magnetic timeline and my clips all shifting together. I had no idea a similar thing was possible in Premiere without selecting and moving everything down manually. Thanks!
