New Skills in Premiere Pro CC

As Premiere was completely new to me, all of my skills were new. However some things were trickier to pick up. For example I found it very tricky to match up the lip syncing, however after discovering how to zoom into a clip I found it much easier to be more specific.

I also worked out how to effectively lighten my shots. I first tried adjusting the brightness, however this looked washed out and unnatural. Then I discovered how to add a directional light effect, and by reducing the opacity of a mask I could control how much lighter the shot looked. I also used tints in a very similar way- using a coloured mask over the clip and then increasing its transparency.
