- What's up?
This is John from John Branch
Photography and I just can't,
I cannot stop being amazed
by the new iPad Pros.
You can do so much on
them and it's just insane.
So before I was talking
about editing photos
with Lightroom CC and if you
haven't checked that out,
check it up in the link
here and in the description.
But now let's talk about editing video
with Adobe Premiere Rush.
So Adobe Premiere Rush is a
mobile watered down version
of Premiere Pro and
it's extra watered down.
Let's say if Lightroom CC is 75%
of what Lightroom
Classic is, Adobe Rush is
like 20% of what Premiere is.
So I'm not a video editor
myself outside of YouTube stuff,
just some jump cuts, some B rolls,
a little bit of audio editing
so I'm not like video expert.
But when it comes to
editing simple videos,
Adobe Rush is actually pretty good.
And I think for anyone out
there who's hating on it,
the biggest thing to keep in
mind is it's a mind set change.
Adobe Rush is mainly for mobile work.
It's to be able to edit stuff real quick
and get back home and export
it there cuz keep in mind,
you can actually move your
stuff over to Premiere Pro
and finish it there or
even just use Adobe Rush
to export and move it somewhere else
like Final Cut which is what I do.
So before you go ahead and
lay down the hate hammer
on Adobe Rush, let's go ahead
and take a quick look at it.
Alright, so let's go ahead
and open up Adobe Rush.
So yet again, Adobe Rush
is our very watered down
version of Adobe Premiere Pro.
As you see here, I have
a couple of other videos
that I've gone ahead and edited
so let's look at how that process looks.
I'm gonna make a new project.
When you first make a new project,
you have to actually add
your media first so make sure
you import before you go
in to make a new project.
It just works a little bit easier.
Now that we're in here,
we see my camera roll.
Just a word of advice,
right now Premiere Rush
will only let you import
from the creative cloud
drop box in your own camera roll.
So it's a little annoying
but it works out.
So I have different albums.
So if you import into a specific album,
that's probably the easiest
way to deal with stuff.
I have one that I called video imports.
So here's a bunch of 4K video
that I've imported from my Fuji XT2.
I can grab a couple clips
and you see how it says one
and two so that's actually the order
it's going to import it in as well.
So let's do these two,
I can name my project.
I'll name it stuff
and then it will import.
So that took about one or
two minute, not too bad.
As you know, Adobe Rush is 9.99 a month.
If you're not paying for it,
it will basically ask you
to upgrade every time you're using it.
You can make as many
projects as you want to
but when it comes to exporting,
it will only let you export three times
and then at that point,
you have to start paying.
So I have two more exports
which I will be doing soon
and then I will figure out
if I want to pay or not.
(chuckles)
The interface is very straight forward.
It actually looks a lot
like Adobe Lightroom CC
so I like it a lot.
And it's very easy to
understand especially
if you're not a full blown video editor.
On the top here, you can go back home,
you can add more media, you
can look at all your media.
And then you have all your
editing tools here on the side,
the little scissors for cutting,
you can duplicate, trash,
you can open up the audio that way
and by expanding the
audio, you can actually
move the audio separately.
You have your lanes here so three audio
and I think four video on the
top if you include the middle.
And then this tool switches between
moving the whole clip and
then trimming the clip.
So extremely straight forward.
I found that I actually
like to use my hands
instead of the pencil as much.
It just kind of works out smoother.
You can play your video.
Then here's cut so I can cut there,
I can cut it here
and then I can delete it.
So one thing I don't like so
far is that this orange bar,
when it's for trimming, it's so big.
You see how it blocks some of the audio.
I'm not a big fan of that,
it's kind of annoying actually.
So that's one thing I'm not a big fan of
but outside of that, it's
pretty straight forward.
So here we go again, I can click that,
click there, delete it and
then I have a little cut.
(soft music)
And you can see this stuff runs
pretty smooth for a straight up 4K.
Now on the right side here, this is all
the stuff you can do to your clip.
So you have your transitions,
you have your colors.
So I can color grade this if I want to
but Fuji Colors are so good.
(chuckles)
I have my audio stuff which is okay,
basically turn it up,
turn it down, auto volume.
You can change the type
so you can have music,
voice or other.
You can turn all this stuff
off if you want to as well.
You got clip volume then
you have your auto ducking
which is actually pretty cool.
The reduce echo, reduce noise.
As an audio engineer myself,
it's just not that great.
I'm not a fan of it.
It works but it doesn't sound good.
You also have enhanced speech stuff
but also I don't think sounds that great
and then you have your auto
ducking which is really cool.
You have your transform stuff
so I can change the clip,
I can move it around, I
can make it see through,
all kinds of different
things I can do there.
Also I skipped it but you
have your text here at the top
so you have your titles and stuff,
you can throw that stuff in there.
And it's pretty straight forward.
One last feature too before I go
is you can switch it to
a portrait or a square
so that's good for yet
again, Instagram, IG TV,
any like social media postings.
So that's really what
this program is best at,
it's just quick quick
edits to go right back
to Instagram, IG TV or
something like that.
Or you can edit on the go like I would
and then send it to Premiere
Pro to finish your edits.
You can see here, I have two whole videos
that I fully edited and
they're pretty easy videos
because it's just talking to the screen
so see just a bunch of
jump cuts and things.
And it works pretty easily
and what I'm gonna do
since I mainly work in Final
Cut Pro is just export this.
You'll see I left a bunch of
dead space at the beginning
so that I can do my usual little intro
and then at the end, I'll
just add my little outro.
So pretty straight forward, I like it.
So that was a quick look at Adobe Rush.
Like I said 20% of Adobe
Premiere, if even honestly.
But it's really cool
for quick mobile edits,
Instagram stories or IG TV or
just starting on your edits
when you're away from your main rig
and then you can finish it up there.
So all y'all video editors out there,
how do y'all feel about Adobe Rush?
Do you hate it, do like
it, do you see the point?
Let me know in the comments below.
Also don't forget to
subscribe to the channel,
if you'd like to see more
information like this
and other creative entrepreneur stuff.
Thanks again for hanging out with me
and I'll be will y'all next time.
Alright, peace!
