This file type is Adobe Illustrator Art. Here's how Premiere Pro deals with Illustrator files:

• Like the Photoshop file you imported in step 4, this is a layered graphic file. However, Premiere Pro does not give you the option to import Illustrator files in separate layers. It merges them.

• It also uses a process called

  rasterization to convert the vectorpath-basedIllustrator art into the pixel-based image format used by Premiere Pro.

• Premiere automatically

  anti-aliases , or smoothes edges of the Illustrator art.

• Premiere converts all empty areas into a transparent alpha channel, so that clips below those areas on the Timeline can show through if you choose.

2.

Close the Properties window.

If you right-click Graphic 4.ai again, you'll note that one option is Edit Original. If you have Adobe Illustrator loaded on your PC, selecting Edit Original will open Illustrator with this graphic ready to edit. So, even though the layers are merged in Premiere Pro, you can go back to Illustrator, edit the original layered file, save it, and the changes will immediately show up in Premiere Pro.

3.

Convert the Project panel into a floating window by Ctrl+clicking on its drag handle and dragging it out of its frame.

4.

Expand the Project panel's floating window as wide as you can and twirl down the Graphic 2 disclosure triangle to display all the Photoshop graphic layers.

Drag the scroll bar along the bottom of the Project panel noting all the various descriptive columns and types of media they apply to.

In particular note the

Video Info for the two still images. These are image resolutions, and are much larger than standard DV: 720x480. I'll show you how Premiere Pro deals with that in the next steps.
