Walter Murch: Making the Right Editing Choices & Switching to Adobe Premiere Pro CC | Creative Cloud

It´s very humbling to see a master like Murch still trying new things and not being afraid of switching to a new software. The final film is what matters, not the tools you used to put it together.
Completely agree. It is really re-assuring to see how he uses premiere and how simple he breaks it down compared to everything else on the internet about editing.
The approach of using a "top-layer-skin" is so beautifully innovative, and such a great visual representation. Walter, bless your mind.
such a great way of being able to see where changes have been made
Sam Ful
Isn't that similar to what "nesting" workflow is...? Except that you don't have to export the cut. I'm not sure about the hard drive part in nesting. Nesting workflow wouldn't make it any easier for the hard drive i guess.
can you please say where he shows that? im in 30min of the video and totally lost
This happens at 33:20. +Sam Fuller made up "top-layer-skin" for how Walter Murch creates an adjustment layer the length of the project and drops that on the top track. He adds an effect VIDEO > Clip Name and in effect controls sets the source to track 1. He adds another effect VIDEO > Timecode and generates a timecode for the sequence (I think that's what he's done here). It's a super cool way to deal with a project with tons of clips from various sources. I create a lot of event videos sourced from various cameras and even smartphones so this will be super helpful to identify where a clips originates.
Can never get enough of the Master cutter. Have all his books on my shelf in the edit suite. Man! Such genius!
I could edit for 10 years and still come back to this and understand new things
This was very eye-opening.. For someone learning Premiere Pro, his expertise in film put him way ahead of the curve. He's just learning a different, more efficient way of doing what comes naturally to him at this point. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!!!
30:04 - This is something I had learned by practice.
And I also learned some things by watching this video too. Thank you.
Adobe, this was a great presentation. I could listen & watch Walter Murch all day, he is so informative. Can we have more of this kind of presentation please.
One of the best editors ever. HIs work on The Conversation is one of the best pieces of visual and sound editing ever.
garrison968 the best film editor ever in my opinion
It's a pleasure watching a genius like Murch at work! Learnt a lot! Thank you Adobe!
Profound and simple concepts from one of the very best. And learning new tools too. Thank you.
It's a mentality of understanding, application and guiding the idea thanks
I’ve been using this ‘skin’ in my workflow too, but apparently he explains it much better with this lovely metaphor!
The skin and organ thing is a great practical skill - I'm a beginner but I love it
Enjoyed watching and picking up tips is a bonus
Best of vibes
So so impressed. thats all, excellent viewing. Thanks.
This is invaluable I only wish there was more of it and we could watch Walter work on a project stood at his work station from start to finish. Understandably summarized to some extent as it would be months worth of footage, but I would happily watch hours of him at work.
Interviews and docs are great plus there's no shortage of software tutorials, however something like this is really lacking online. Please Walter anyone in the industry make a video like this so we can all share in your wisdom. In the blink of an eye is a fantastic read but we can learn so much more from watching professionals at work. I'd happily pay for something like this and sure many others out there would also.
This Guy Edits on CZcams is good
Wow! This turned out to be a master class in film editing! Love it!
Great idea with QT export/import after the first assembly, then continuing editing from there. Not sure I'd be comfortable with a 2.5 hour timeline, but I also don't have to worry about it :)
Good stuff! Keep up the good work!
1/3 Master Class, 1/3 BTS, 1/3 Commercial = Total Awesomeness
LEGEND
Wow! Some great ideas that I plan to incorporate into all of my future editing projects. Thank you!
I've never used FCP. I learnt editing in premiere and have continued to use it ever since. Short films, music videos, commercials... all done on premiere. But now, after FCPX 10.3, I started getting curious as I heard a lot of people talking about how slick it had become after the whole iMovie pro debacle. I've been dabbling around a bit and I'm starting to like what's in there. A lot of my premiere fondness is part of my muscle memory but there are more than just a few things that's really tempting in FCPX. So I'm giving it a shot for my next project. As someone who's completely new to FCP, I don't have the bitterness of being screwed over by FCP from 7 to 10. So I can approach it just as I approached premiere 10 years back. But man! I can't even begin to imagine how people must have felt when Apple screwed things up with 10. I mean when you lose people like Walter, it's safe to say, you've lost the plot.
People gonna hate, FCPX is a great tool and today people really need to get with being program agnostic. I use PP, Avid and FCPX.
or he doenst want to update controls rsrsrs. He still edits like in a moviola, final cut x is aimed to something more digital, digital editing software should not be based in something mechanic and now old
Amazing stuff!
That was great. The skin/ notch idea at the end is a nice one. Wouldn't it start getting messy if you do any ripple deletes? I guess at that point you could stop doing them
I like the depth of this editor, he doesn't mind sharing his work with the younger generation
Kudos...this has be one of the best presentations I have watched...so refreshing to hear someone speak from a 'heart' level and not once drop the f-bomb or tails of sleeping with everyone in the office...I wonder if Mr. Murch has written a book on these exact items he listed? Again, this is the best preso from Adobe ever.
Watching this in Sept. of 2022 🙂 As an editor with 30 years experience who is just getting into film editing, I got some good tips from this!
As a Davinci Resolve user (currently v18), I wonder if he’s tried using it. I used Premiere for years but was never a fan; switched to Resolve as my primary NLE in 2018.
Thank you
I read in the blink of an eye, and I never realized the HTC worked like Walter described he used to with analog footage. Mind Blown!
Great. Just one comment: the music can also start when the stick is down. It depends on whether you start with a silence (very common) or not.
masterclass!
Does anyone know any similar lectures/tutorials like this that explore subtle editing techniques/rhythm etc ... I can't find anything else on this level
Great editing tips.
I don't understand the cut-on-fly... Can you explain to me how he does ? Thank you
it's actually the trim feature. Was looking for this for a really long time. Found it by accident when i double clicked between two video clips in the transition point (where a square bracket symbol appears.)
Que aula incrível! Thanks!
Receber dicas de uma fera como essa da montagem de cinema, com uma ferramenta que eu uso, não tem preço!!!
but you can scan with a simple jog accessories for that function in avid or resolve like shuttle express
Very good
How I can do that thing with the adjustment layer?
Amazing
Thank you!
legend
ohh my god ive learned so many things from this video
Beast.
Avid has tons of legacy problems and FCP suffers from the mutilation apple did to it to appease the huge consumer market. So PP is the way to go in order to get results quick, easy and still professionally.
Interesting to note that I edit in a similar fashion :-)
3 years ago and already the imac pro is out there?
Are there more of these? I feel like there are so many speeches on visual effects. I want to hear more about video editing :D Any recommendations appreciated.
try insidetheedit.com really good course based tutorials
a great channel on youtube to check out is This Guy Edits. He goes in depth of different editing techniques, and edits online live on patreon if you wish to support him. He also has a great podcast (same name). really worth the time if your serious (or just intrigued) about editing as a career.
@@sydneycastellano lol although my post was 5 years ago i do appreciate the comment. I actually follow the channel and I work as an AE at an ad company. Thanks :D
@@ChessBoxin That's awesome! Hopefully I'll be able to make it there one day 😅
39:59 Unless you wanted to show what may have been going on in his mind, ie. did he think better of what he was saying and now wished he didn't say it?
So the Cohen brothers are editing a major Hollywood motion picture with Premiere. Hmm.
This video was posted in 2015.. I’m hazarding a guess, but I bet he’s NOT using Premiere now with the development of Da Vinci Resolve (15 +, as of this comment). and even FCPX 10.4.5 (though I guess he’d choose Da Vinci over FCPX for a feature).
31:92
92?
So what does he use when he's not using Adobe, or FCP, or Avid? And does anyone of note use Vegas Pro or is it not even in the game?
Hobby program.
Last summer I tried skydiving and they put together a video for us. Being an editor, I had to ask what they used. The skydiving/photographer/editor was using Vegas Pro. They had a room packed with PCs running Vegas Pro. They handed you a video in less then 20 minutes and it looked great. They're making a killing off those videos. I've been cutting for 30 years and have used Premiere, Avid and Final Cut. I don't think it really matters what you use... it's like asking a writer what word processor he uses.
@@winslowbarger692 Videos such as this always remind me of a Steven Spielberg interview where he stating, in his early days, he tried to make a lot of his edits "in camera".
What are the bugs and 'bugettes' he's talking about. Did he mention them, did I miss something?
+Alexander Verdoodt (Alex)
Bugs are the glitches/ errors.
Bugetts are some options/ functions that could be added in future versions to make working easier.
I do know what bugs are, KVK Studios. He does not mention any bug later on.
yeah i was also looking for thoses ones.... but unfortunately he forgot to speak about it
master
Subtitulado por favor....!!
Thats weird ? avid has that sweep option.
>implying you'd have more than a half hour to use premiere before it crashes
ummm... did he just say his turnaround time for a feature is a week? At 48:10...
I understood it is his turnaround for making updated Quicktime skin layers with all the new changes.
Also my turnaround for youtube questions is 2 years sometimes.
walter much is my idol
35:50
If it's good enough for Obi Wan, it's good enough for me lol
Leon está tentando dormir
I’m commenting on this so that there’s 100 comments instead of 99 because ocd
This was about a year before resolve got real for editing 😂
As much as I find this guy’s work interesting, I don’t like videos that are cover-up advertorials. In any case, from a recent study, esteemed editors are leaving Premier and the whole Adobe cloud subscription system in their droves!
Yep but Adobe can pay anyone to make them look still relevant... In 2021 most creative circles are trying to leave Adobe (capture one, affinity, avid, resolve...) and it began with amateurs and semi pro but now even in big pro circles lot are switching... It's a shame, I would like to know what this incredible man have to say but I can't stand anything linked to Adobe advertisement anymore!
@@hitthesynth6417 Why are they leaving?
Plot twist: Premiere crashes
Walter Mursh start with bugs lol premiere pro that's why I switched to Final Cut Pro and now love the magnetic timeline. bye bye
that's quite a long ad.
Premier pro is a great software 100 % better the fcp n avid in file
handling, but i dont understand y indian"s ask FCP , though i show them
the quality of video is better then fcp r avid ,
Language everybody. Language.
You can get exactly the same output from either program. The NLE doesn't make the editor, and they can all encode outside of the NLE if you have issues with the encoding.
This guy is neurotic about Editing!!!!
Premiere is slow but has a lot of features. It’s unreliable
Hm. Seeing this great editor working in such slow and clumsy way of trimming, dragging or editing ... frankly, I'm not sure if that's a great promotion for Premiere Pro. Seriously - who trims with mouse clicks instead of entering (+/-) frames on keyboard? Who drags an audio-edit instead of just mark and hit 'extend'? And who uses razor-blade? The skin-layer only makes sense if you have performance issues. I think Walter should go back to his old chum, that - by the way - supports 64 audio-tracks as well now.
Those who can't do anything dump down on those who try, and that's what destroys society...
Weird, all the techniques you criticised are ones that I use on a daily basis. Every editor has their own preference, but I guess your advice is more valuable than an Oscar-winning editor
Anthony Genzale, I looked you up on IMDB and Google, but couldn't find any of your filmmaking credits. Could you share your qualifications for making this judgement? You can read about Walter Murch's awards here (hint: three Academy Awards for Editing, more than any other editor). www.imdb.com/name/nm0004555/awards
Teutonika, Walter Murch has won three Academy Awards for editing. I think he recorded his video not long after winning the ACE and PrimeTime Emmy awards for Best Editing for Television. I've been using Premiere since the 1990's, but still found Murch's advice amazingly valuable. Was wondering what your qualifications were for trashing his technique?
Anthony Genzale, could you post a link to one of your movies, demonstrating your editing technique? Perhaps even just a scene? You have such strong criticisms of Walter Murch and Hollywood, we are dying to see your stuff!
