Learn how to use every tool in the Adobe Premiere Pro toolbar, from Ripple Edit and Rolling Edit to Slip, Slide, and Rate Stretch, to speed up your edit and build a more efficient workflow.
In this Adobe Live session, filmmakers Courtney Birk and Ashleigh Coffelt of CA in LA take an in-depth look at the Premiere Pro toolbar. Most of us learn just enough tools to get by, but knowing what each one does, and when to reach for it, can make a real difference in how quickly you move through an edit. Explore how the Selection, Track Select, Ripple Edit, Rolling Edit, Rate Stretch, Razor, Slip, Slide, Pen, and Type tools work, and learn the keyboard shortcuts that let you switch between them without breaking your flow.
Then, in the spirit of the season, Courtney and Ashleigh highlight iconic Halloween films and round up what’s new on streaming, in theaters, and in film news.
What Is the Premiere Pro Toolbar?
The toolbar in Adobe Premiere Pro holds the core tools for editing and adjusting clips in your timeline. Beyond the Selection tool, it includes specialized trimming tools that let you adjust edit points, change clip timing, and reposition shots without leaving gaps or shifting the rest of your sequence. Many tools are grouped together, so click and hold any tool with a small triangle to reveal the tools nested underneath.
