LESSON 5
Creating Cuts-Only Videos
Getting started
The first thing you do when you’re creating a video is to lay down a cuts-only ver-
sion. Later, you can apply transitions, effects, titles, and motion, as well as work on 
compositing. Whether or not you use these extra effects, building a cuts-only video 
is an art. You want to create a logical flow to your clips, make matching edits, and 
avoid jump cuts.
Adobe Premiere Pro offers several ways of achieving those ends. Depending on 
your circumstances, you might work in the Trim panel, use the Ripple Edit tool, or 
move clips on the Timeline using the Source Monitor or keyboard modifiers. You’ll 
use all these techniques in this lesson.
