Adobe Certified Expert exam objectives

Given a command from the Project Menu, explain the purpose of the command.

I will briefly run through the Project Menu commands, then focus on its most important featureProject Management.

View the Lesson 15 Intro video.

Open Premiere Pro to the Lesson 15 project.

It uses the sequence from Lesson 2.

Click in the Project panel to select it but do not select any of the clips (otherwise several options in the Project Menu will be inaccessible).

Note

If you select a clip, that will be the sole entry in the Batch List you will make in step 5 .

Select Project to open that menu.

The Project Menu has the following options:

Project Settings Lesson 4.Lesson 5.
Import/Export Batch List Create or import a list of file names.
Project Manager You''ll work with this in the next mini-lesson.
Remove Unused A quick and easy way to clean up your project . Select it to remove any assets from the Project panel that you are not using in your project.

Select Export Batch List, accept the default name and location (the current project folder) and click Save.

That creates a comma-delimitedCSVfile that you can read with Windows Notepad. The contents are simply the file names, timecodes and original source tape names (if any). The Batch List stores only audio and video file names, not graphics or images.

Lesson 8 Batch List.Lesson 8 Batch List bin.

Note that all its files say Offline next to them.

Click on Cutaway 8a.avi.

Select Project > Link Media (or right-click on Cutaway 8a and select Link Media from the context menu).

Note

The Import Batch List feature has a severe limitation in functionality. It can link to only A/V files. If you attempt to link to audio-only or video-only files, you will get an error message .

10.

Lesson 8 folder and double-click on Cutaway 8a.avi.

Note

If you select more than one offline file, the Attach Which Media dialog box appears in turn for each file you select. Pay attention to the offline file name in the title bar of the dialog box so that you relink the correct source file to each offline file.

11.

Click on Video 2f in the Project panel to select it.

12.

Choose Project > Make Offline (or right-click on Video 2f and select Make Offline).

13.

Select Media Files Remain On Disk.

In that way the file will be offline in the project but remain on the hard drive. Selecting Media Files Are Deleted will take the file offline and remove it from the hard drive. If you select that option and you want to use that file in a project, you''ll need to recapture it (or, in this case, copy it from the DVD).

14.

Move the CTI to the Video 2f clip in the Timeline and note two things:

The clip remains in the project with all its effects applied.
The program monitor displays a
Media Offline placeholder graphic for that clip.

This is useful if you work with massive files and want to speed up editing. The drawback is that you can''t see the video if youwant to make frame-specific edits.

Note

If you''re using the clip in another project, it will still be online there .

15.

Select Project > Export Project as AAF, give the file a name and location, click Save, and click OK in the AAF Export Settings dialog box.

An AAF Export Log information window will pop up letting you know what elements of the project were not included in the AAF file. For example, AAF files cannot include single-sided transitions (transitions at the beginning or end of a clip).
