Question 4

Import Options

Answer 4

Toggle Copy media on if you want to copy your media files from a temporary location, like a camera card or removable drive. You can begin editing while Premiere Pro copies the media in the background. Use MD5 checksum verification to ensure no files are corrupted while copying.
Create a New bin if you want to organize your project media – and give the bin a name. The media is not copied to a new location but is displayed in that bin inside the project panel.
With Create new sequence toggled on, when you click Create, the assets in the tray are added directly to a new timeline, in the order they were selected.
Sequence settings: Premiere Pro assigns the sequence settings, such as resolution and frame rate, based on the first asset selected. If needed, you can change the sequence setting in Edit mode.

Question 5

Import Media into Existing Projects

Answer 5

In an existing project, choose Import on the top left of the new header bar, and start selecting your media. All media you select are imported into the existing project.

If you have Create new sequence toggled on, the new media is added as a new sequence in your project.
If you have Create new sequence toggled off, the new media is added in the Project panel.

Question 6

What is Premiere Pro Project File?

Answer 6

A project file (.pproj) stores information about sequences and assets, such as settings for capture, transitions, and audio mixing. As you work, the project file records your edits. Edits are applied non-destructively, meaning that Premiere Pro does not alter the source files. When you export, Premiere Pro encodes a new file incorporating all your edits.

Question 7

What does a Project Folder Contain?

Answer 7

Premiere Pro creates a folder on your hard disk at the start of each project. By default, this is where it stores the project file, a record of all the media you have added to the project, and any preview files or conformed audio files you create during the edit.

Question 8

What is the Project panel?

Answer 8

In Edit mode, the Project panel displays all the media used in the project and the sequences you have created. You can organize that media and sequences using bins in the Project panel.

Question 9

What is a sequence

Answer 9

A sequence is an assembly of video clips and other media that you can edit on the timeline. Premiere Pro saves a file for your sequence in the Project panel, and updates that file as you make changes.

A project may contain multiple sequences, and each sequence can have its own settings. Within a single project, you can edit individual segments as separate sequences, and then combine the segments into a finished program by nesting them into a longer sequence. Similarly, you can store variations of your edit, as separate sequences in the same project.

You can have multiple sequences open in the Timeline panel. Move between them by clicking on the tab for each sequence at the top of the Timeline panel.

Question 15

How to use source and program monitors, and mark in and mark out buttons

Answer 15

What you learned: Use the Source and Program monitors

Use the Source Monitor to preview clips before inserting them in a sequence. To play and pause playback use the playback controls, or press the Spacebar. You can also quickly drag (scrub) the blue playhead (current time indicator) at the bottom of the monitor to the section of the clip you want to play. Click the Mark In and Mark Out buttons to select a specific part of the source clip you want to add to the sequence.
Use the Program Monitor to play your sequence. The Program Monitor playhead is synchronized with the playhead in the Timeline panel.

Question 16

Timeline features and buttons on timeline

Answer 16

What you learned: Use the timeline

Time moves from left to right in the Timeline. Wherever the blue playhead is placed, you will see that frame in the Program Monitor.
You can place clips on separate video and audio tracks. Video tracks play as a stack, so a clip on an upper video track will appear in front of a clip on a lower video track when you play the sequence in the Program Monitor. Audio tracks play together, so you can create a soundtrack mix by positioning multiple audio clips on different tracks.
You can enable and disable individual tracks when you want to work on a particular part of your sequence.
Selection is important in the Timeline panel, so if things aren’t working out as expected, double-check that you have the right clip selected.
There are several tools to use in the Timeline and Program Monitor panels, but you will generally use the Selection tool, which is at the top of the Tools panel.

Question 17

Create a sequence

Answer 17

What you learned: Create a sequence

To create a new sequence, click the New Item menu in the Project panel and choose Sequence from the drop-down menu. Choose a preset based on the camera you used to record your videos. Don’t worry if you choose the wrong setting; the first time you add a clip to the sequence, you can choose to adjust the settings to match the clip.
You can also create a new sequence based on a clip’s properties by dragging the clip onto the New Item menu in the Project panel.
You can check the sequence’s frame size and frame rate by viewing it in the Project panel using List view.

The Audio Clip Mixer panel allows you to change the volume of an audio clip. Choose Window > Audio Clip Mixer to display the panel.
Position the Timeline playhead over the clip you want to change.
Drag the Audio Clip Mixer fader up or down for the sequence track containing the clip. Audio level is usually described with 0dB (decibels) being the loudest, so –3dB is quieter than 0dB.
Use the Mute and Solo buttons to selectively hear audio tracks. Mute makes a selected track silent. Solo plays only the selected track.
Use the Pan control in the Audio Clip Mixer to direct the clip’s sound toward the left or right output in your sound mix.

Question 22

Adding still images

Answer 22

What you learned: Add images

With a title selected, use the Edit tab in the Essential Graphics panel to change settings such as font, color, and layout.
Each piece of text in a title is on a separate layer, displayed at the top of the Edit tab. Select the layer you would like to change to adjust its settings.
Drag layers up or down in the Essential Graphics panel so they appear in front of or behind other layers. Upper layers are in front of lower layers.
Switch back to the Editing workspace when you have finished.

Question 24

trim clips on timeline

Answer 24

What you learned: Trim clips on the Timeline

You can extend or shorten the part of the clip included in the sequence, as long as there is footage available in the original clip. A small white triangle on either end of the sequence clip tells you if you’re already using the first or last frame of the original material.
Drag the ends of clips as if you were resizing a window to extend or shorten them by trimming. You won’t be able to trim a clip over an adjacent clip.
Use the Ripple Edit tool to trim clips without leaving a gap or to push adjacent clips later in the sequence.
Use the Rolling Edit tool to adjust the timing of an edit between two clips, extending one clip by the same amount you shorten the other.
To prevent unwanted changes, you can lock a whole track by clicking the padlock icon on the track header.
Remember to choose the Selection tool when you have finished using the trimming tools.
