Importing assets: Lesson 4-3

In this book's Lessons 1-3 your projects started with links to assets that I had already placed in the Project panel. Adding those links to the Project panel

importing assets, in Premiere Pro parlanceis easy. But there are a few issues to keep in mind. This lesson will cover importing how-tos and the issues you're most likely to encounter.

In this mini-lesson you will import all four standard media types: video, audio, graphics and stills. I will show you two importing methods. And you will take a look at the properties of audio and graphic files. In Lesson 4-4 you'll look more closely at image files.

You can continue where you left off in Lesson 4-2, or open Lesson 4-3.prproj from the Lesson 4 folder.

You should see the standard Premiere Pro opening workspace. All the frames should be empty except for the Sequence 01 item in the Project panel and in the Timeline.

Selecting all but one (or more) files

Use the group select method here (plus one additional step) to select all but one (or more) files. As I explained earlier in the book, select a group of contiguous files using the marquee selectclick and dragmethod or the Shift+click method. Then press Ctrl+click to deselect one (or more) of them. In this case deselect the three Lesson 4.prproj files.

Note

This is a different and faster way to open the Import window. You could also use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+I.

You will import files from a different file folder, demonstrating that you don't have to keep all your assets in the same place. The Project panel simply lists links to your assets, wherever they may be.

• Adds a file folder to your Project panel with all the Photoshop layers listed as separate clips

• Creates a new sequence with all the layers on separate video tracks

Note

The Source Audio Format is 44100 Hz - 16 bit Stereo (standard CD audio quality) and the Project Audio Format is 48000 Hz - 32-bit floating point Stereo. Premiere Pro upconverts all audio to the project setting, thereby ensuring no quality is lost during editing. Floating point data allow for even more precise and smoother edits.
