JKL trimming marries these shortcuts with the trimming tool. JKL refers to the keyboard shortcuts that allow you to scrub through the elements on your timeline. One example of how Premiere Pro improves timeline editing is what Adobe calls JKL trimming. This may seem like small thing, but it's a huge timesaver and an example of how Adobe is focused on making the editing process easier and faster. This means you do the work once, then whenever you use a clip from that footage in the timeline, the effects are already in place. Instead of having to make those specific alterations to each clip in the timeline, Premiere Pro lets you apply effects and alterations to footage while it is still in the media bin. For example, you may take hours applying effects to a specific clip in the timeline, but the source footage is much longer, and other clips are used elsewhere in the timeline. Premiere Pro CC caters to the nuanced demands of pro and veteran video editors. As such, you don't have to worry about proprietary formats while you work with footage from disparate camera types.

You can import footage and other media from nearly any device.

One of this program’s biggest advantages is its comprehensive camera support. Importing media that's already on your computer is straightforward, and capturing files from digital media, such as your camera, is similarly simple. The first step when creating any video project with Premiere Pro is capturing or importing your video footage, audio and other elements into the software.
