Question

Few questions for a beginner in premiere pro

So, i'm borrowing premiere pro from my GF's creative cloud account, and decided to slowly start making videos. So here's the questions/concerns i have (sorry for the high amount of them):

1: Is it normal for premiere pro with lots of videos split into smaller parts (compilations) to use 28GB+ when editing and rendering? I had it set to prioritize ram usage than performance to not use up all my 32GB ram (i am planning a new 8 core build with 48GB or more later to let PP use everything it needs)

2: What's the hotkey to move the blue timeline cursor to my position? As of now i have zoomed out, then moved the cursor to where i want it and then zoom in again.

3: How do i apply a "zoom in" to a point on a sequence with a smooth transition? haven't quite figured out that yet.

4: Why was "title" on the top left of the main options removed? I tried to search all over youtube, but no one had the version i have which is the latest. Had to click "file, new, legacy title" to add a title.

5:  How do i move text that i add or objects to follow a pattern to follow a object in the video?

6: Is there any way to "clean up" the whole workspace and only add what i want/need?

7: How do i add the legacy title styles for my next edit?`Managed to find it by mistake and can not remember where and how i found it.

8: I want to move my saved project files to a different storage, but even when i renamed one of the files, premiere said the file now was offline. Is there a way to tell it where to read the files even with a different name or on a different location?

9: How do i save my intro and outro videos, text and music project and files for the next time? Even when located to it's future designated permanent storage for video editing.

10: How do i move duplicated audio clips that i have cut out or copied to appear where i want instead replacing a section of the video above the original when i move my focus to a different part of the video?

11: Is there a hotkey to disable "X"'s function? It's really frustrating when accidentally when pressing it instead of C to cut.

12: Is there a way to make the "split" tool magnet snap to the timeline arrow to exactly where i want to cut? I have to aim by eye or zoom all the way in to split precisely.

Might add more questions if i have more to ask.

    I'd recommend checking the Help manual, tutorials made by Adobe, and also probably a subscription service like lynda-dot-com, which tends to give far better, more complete, and thorough training than basic YouTube vids.

    Basically, you're asking for a complete tutorial on how to use the program. You have to take some time and perhaps some expense to study and practice with it.

    I don't suppose adobe has free video tutorials? I don't do good with learning from text.
