00:08so over here you can see that I have a video imported in and this is my video for my
00:15Premiere
00:15Pro tutorial right over here so now what we can do is in order to get precise controls we can
00:22view
00:22the waveform from here and then we can view the thumbnails and the keyframes as well so let's go
00:29on to the view waveform so what that does is it enables us to view the audio waveform but right
00:35now since the video is quite large it's around like 19 minutes long you can see that I cannot view
00:42the waveform right here so what I have to do is I have to zoom in as it says so
00:47I can hold control
00:48and use the scroll mouse button and you can view the waveform just like this and then you can use
00:53the waveform as a point as a reference point to start cutting out let's say for example right
00:59from here to here you see the waveform you can actually cut that out so you can see that there
01:04is a pause right here because the waveform is not there another part that you can work with is you
01:10can show out the thumbnail so once you click on it what happens is that you see the thumbnails so
01:15you
01:15see you you know what there are in each part of the video so you can see that right now
01:20this is here so
01:22you see that there's the starting of the logo and over here you can see that there's something like
01:26the file so you know like what part has what offerings out right there let me just zoom out
01:32onto one x right here and you can see the thumbnails accordingly so right now over here you can see
01:37that
01:38there's different sorts of things available right here right here as well so there's a lot of different
01:44things that it gives as a visual cue right there let me just open out another video for this one
01:50so let me
01:50just go on to my videos and go on to my san francisco video right here and if i were
01:56to see the thumbnail
01:56you can see that right over here you can see that there's the panning in and over here there's another
02:01one so that is what you see and then the other option you have is show keyframes so what this
02:07allows
02:07you to do is see the keyframes of the video that means while encoding it actually stores a frame
02:14which it takes as a reference so that the video is clear from later on so later the motion information
02:20are stored right here while here this is the keyframe so uh the high quality frame is stored in this
02:28section while in being encoded in video so as you enable the keyframe you're able to see where those
02:34main keyframes are so in order for you to have a quality cut you can actually choose those particular
02:41sections and then cut out as well and that is how you can utilize the show waveform the thumbnails and
02:47keyframe options for precise cuts inside of losses cut so if you guys learned something as always
02:54and as always please like comment share and subscribe
