Jordan Dueck: Workspaces Tutorial Adobe Premiere Pro CC | Make Your Workspace Your Own

This is a short tutorial on workspaces in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017. It goes over what workspaces are, how to create your own custom ones, and why doing so can help you edit better and faster. —Jordan Dueck

Your Premiere Pro workspace can make a positive or negative effect on your edit. In this workspace tutorial, Jordan Dueck makes an excellent point. He says, "If you're editing, and it's arduous and you're trying to find where things are, and it's not feeling right, it's going to impact how quickly you edit... and even how ideas are generated in your mind. You might end up with a better product just because you've laid out your [workspace] in a way that feels good to you."

An experienced editor once said that editors are only as good as the footage they remember. You could expand that to include how quickly they can find the footage. With custom workspaces, Premiere Pro users can improve their chances of remembering and finding their footage. 

Watch this part at 1:39 where Jordan talks about the benefits of custom workspaces in Premiere Pro. He leads in with talking about Premiere Pro's default workspaces.

Do you think custom workspaces can make an impact on your editing? When was the last time you tinkered with your default Premiere Pro workspace? Try it! See if it improves the quality of your editing, or at least your enjoyment of your editing.

Adobe: How to use AdobeStock Video in Premiere Pro (Search, Download & License)

In this YouTube live replay, Jason Levine, Principle Worldwide Evangelist for Adobe Creative Cloud: Video/Audio, shows how search, download and license Adobe Stock all within Premiere Pro.

Jason opens his live stream with all the typical introductions followed by a couple examples of videos edited using Adobe Stock footage. He really begins at 6:26 with the Library panel, the doorway to Adobe Stock inside Premiere Pro. Here you can search the Adobe Stock library and preview clips in your default browser. The ability to playback Adobe Stock clips directly in the Library is *hopefully* coming soon.

You don't have to license Adobe Stock footage in order to download and play with it in Premiere Pro. Jason shows how to audition footage from the Adobe Stock site in Premiere Pro at 9:19. The first step is saving the preview to your Creative Cloud library. This adds the clip to your Library panel in Premiere Pro. From there you can add the clip to your project which will download a high-resolution, watermarked version of the clip. 

The heart of the Adobe Stock workflow in Premiere Pro, and what makes it unique, is it keeps all your intrinsic and stylistic clip effects completely intact. You never have to resize or re-keyframe anything! At 27:09 Jason demonstrates how to license Adobe Stock footage directly from the timeline in Premiere Pro. The licensed version of the clip will replace the preview in the background, and all your adjustments will be preserved. Amazing, right? Adobe Stock is just the best.
