Video editing questions

[Guest]

1. Like lower thirds are there different objects of a video so one being lower thirds, another being titles/intros if so what are they called?

 

2. After Effects vs Premiere Pro i still don't understand what does what if someone can simplify it that would be nice?

after effects allow you to add and change the video massively premier is just to edit

This is a very inaccurate over simplification of what Premiere and After Effects are designed to do.

OK let me answer your second question first.

• Premiere Pro - is a non linear editing (NLE) system mainly for editing video.  In the latest versions of Premiere you can also use the Lumetri Panel to do some color grading.
• After Effects - is a digital effects, motion graphics and compositing system.

Premiere is used to manage and edit sequences of videos, cutting, layering, transitioning, color correcting, grading, keying, to name just a few things that can be done. You can also use it to manage and edit audio tracks, cut them, layer them, mix them (to a certain degree), adjust their loudness.  But when you need to add 3D text or animation, composite visual elements from different sources, manipulate 2D/3D objects in a virtual 3D space, essentially if you want to add special effects to your videos, you need to use AE.

 

Premiere and AE are meant to be used together in a workflow.  People can choose to use each of them as a stand alone tool from start to finish of an entire video editing process, however there are things that Premiere does better than AE and vice versa so choosing to do everything in only one application can mean that you may end up having to do more work to get something done whilst using a workflow that utilizes both applications (along with other tools like Audition for audio editing and mixing, and perhaps Speedgrade for color grading) can make the work easier.

 

Now for your first question, what exactly do you want to know because there are many terminologies used in video production, from start to finish?

 

Lower Third simply describes placement of graphics around the lower third area of the safe zone of the screen.  There are also elements like Score Bug (Score Banner, Scorebar) that shows the scores of sports matches, for example.  There's Closed Captioning, News Ticker, Watermark, Subtitle, to name a few more.
