Adobe has released a comprehensive Premiere Pro Guide aimed specifically at long-form and episodic filmmakers.
Adobe has curated the vast amount of often hard won knowledge from close to two decades of Adobe Premiere Pro non-linear editing into a single, downloadable document, The Adobe Premiere Pro Best Practices & Workflow Guide. Effectively it’s a deep-dive anthology of expert, step-by-step advice and illustrated examples, written by a team of industry experts and leading Adobe engineers.
The idea is that users are not continuously reinventing the wheel, but have a single resource that provides a detailed look at the recommendations and vetted procedures that have worked for some of its high profile customers over the years.
As such it unsurprisingly covers a broad range of essential topics; everything from how to configure and optimize your settings, to establishing best practices for offline dailies and navigating the remaining workflow all the way through turnovers and final deliverables.
Other key topics include:
Hardware & Settings
Understand how Premiere Pro uses the power of modern computer hardware so you can find a system to meet your needs. Learn about which preferences matter for high-end workflows.
Working with Dailies
Starting with industry fundamentals, learn how Premiere Pro integrates into a broader post-production pipeline. Detailed consideration of dailies workflows will make sure your project starts on the right track.
Working with Productions

Multi-Camera Editing

Dynamic Link with After Effects

Turnovers
This chapter includes the best practices for turning over to color, audio mix, and VFX. Learn how to prepare your timeline and which settings are best for your workflow.
