How to Edit and Export Video in Premiere Pro (for Use in InDesign Epubs)

David Creamer guided us through the seamless integration of Premiere Pro and InDesign. Starting with the basics, we learned how to import and manage video clips in Premiere Pro. He then led us through the nuances of basic video editing techniques, including transitions and titles.

David delved into the critical aspects of format selection, teaching us how to choose the right file type for our projects. He also covered the essentials of video compression, demonstrating how to reduce file size without sacrificing quality, and provided tips on achieving the perfect resolution for ePUB integration.

Transitioning to InDesign, David illuminated the process of embedding these videos into ePUBs. He shared techniques to ensure that our videos will play back smoothly on a variety of devices, addressing common challenges and offering solutions for cross-platform compatibility.

The session concluded in an interactive Q&A segment, providing us with the opportunity to seek advice and clarity on specific challenges users have faced on specific projects. This was particularly advantageous for those who felt intimidated by the complexity of Premiere Pro. David's approachable teaching style made the presentation the perfect opportunity for beginners to gain confidence and for seasoned users to polish their skills.
