Adobe Premiere Pro Tutorial #1: New Projects, Panel IDs and Importing Media

Your task: Learn how to create a new project and import media (can be video, photos, images, graphics, sound, music).

1. On your computer Open Adobe Premiere Pro in the Adobe Master Collection.
2. Click on New Project
3. The "New Project" Window will come up, in it type a name for your project, for this one name it "Practice" and make sure the location for you project is on your student drive. To do this, click on Browse and select your student drive.

TIP* Make sure your source files from your camera are in a folder on your student drive. NEVER change the location of these source files from your camera because Premiere uses pathways or links to the original footage - it does not actually ingest the footage from the source files.

PROJECT PANEL IDs
If a Panel is selected there will be an orange border around it. This activates that panel for you to work within it.  Here are the names for each panel:

IMPORT MEDIA
4. In the Project Panel (where it says Project "File Name" on the bottom left) right click and select Import. Then select your frame(s) and click open. The frame(s) will be inserted into your new project so you can work with them now. Choose 4 photos from your first Photography Portfolio or your Portraiture Portfolio.


5. Click and drag your frames into the Video 1 track in the Sequence Panel.  Your frames will now appear in the Sequence Panel. Drag them in one at a time and drop them in a line, one after the other.

7. Go to the toolbar at the top, click on Edit> select Preferences> select Autosave> Turn ON. Make the Autosave every 10 minutes. 

This is one of many ways to Import Media, here are some other shortcuts and ways to do the same thing:
a. Common - double click in Project Panel, this will open up the Import Box
b. Right click> Import
c. File> Import
d. Control "i"
