In
most cases, you can start a project simply by using one of the presets
provided in the New Project dialog box. The presets included with
Adobe Premiere Pro include common project types. Preserve editing
quality by using a preset that conforms to the specifications of
your original assets. For example, if your project uses footage
mostly in DV format, use a DV preset. If you need to specify lower quality
settings for output (such as streaming web video), don’t change
your project settings—instead, change your export settings later.
If your computer has a capture
card compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro, its own optimized presets
may appear in the Available Presets list.
The
project settings must be correct when you create the project file.
Once a project is created, some project settings, such as the timebase
settings, are locked. This prevents unwanted inconsistencies that
could result from changing project settings later.
Either choose New Project on the Welcome screen
that appears when Adobe Premiere Pro starts up or, after the application
is open, choose File > New > Project.
Do one of the following:
To apply a preset, select it from the Available
Presets list.
To
customize settings, choose the preset that most closely matches
your source footage, click Custom Settings, and then select your
specific project settings. For Location, specify where you want
to store the project on disk.
Type the name of the project, and then click OK.
Note: Whenever possible, specify a location and name that
you won’t have to change later. By default, Adobe Premiere Pro stores
rendered previews, conformed audio files, and captured audio and
video in the folder where you store the project. Moving a project
file later may require moving its associated files as well.
