Advantages when editing:
-It is an easy-to-use piece of software which enables us to easily import, click and drag rushes and graphics onto a timeline.
-This linear style of editing also allowed us to drag and cut shots to a certain time code or location on the timeline. This was particularly useful when we cut our shots in time to music.
Altering/adding to the sequence:
-Premiere Pro also includes options to add titles, music and video & audio transitions - for instance an exponential audio fade and dip to black at the end of the sequence is very useful to create a professional-looking conclusion to the opening.
-The software also enables the user to edit the volume and dynamics of sound using the pen tool. This can be used to cut out background noise in a shot, whilst leaving the remaining sound as normal.
-Additionally, the user can edit the scale and position of a clip on screen by dragging its image on the preview screen or using key-points.
