IMPORTING
Import Command
This is a an easy command that works like most diffferent programs, and is accessed from the
file menu, or via the Control+I shortcut on the PC or Command+I on the Mac. Or else double
click an empty area of the project panel to automatically open the import dialogue box.
Whichever way we access it, we get the standard for the platform import dialogue box that we
see here.
This method of importing is best suited to self-contained media such as audio or graphics, or
video files such as MP4 that are single files themselves, whose location on our computer we
know so we can navigate to them easily.
Media Browser
On the surface, the media browser appears to do the same job as the import command. The me-
dia browser is designed to let us see the media created by cameras, and show us easy to under-
stand icons and metadata rather than the intricate pattern of files and folders used.
The media browser panel is found in the project panel, which on the standard layout is the bot-
tom left corner, and can also be accessed by the Shift+8 shortcut.
File Types
Media browser displays more or less any file. Importing is selecting the correct file and double
clicking it or right clicking and selecting import from the menu. We can select multiple files at
once by holding down shift and import them all together if needed.
Despite having a huge number of file types supported natively within Premiere, we may some-
times run into files that are not supported. FLV and MKV files are the most common ones used.
EXPORTING
The ultimate aim of any project is obviously to finish it and let others see the result of the cre-
ativity, and that means exporting the work into a format that is suitable for the medium we wish
the project to be viewed on.
Premiere offers a number of options regarding export. We can select an entire sequence to export
as a single file for the web or disc, choose a single frame to post to a website, blog or to distrib-
ute through email, we can export just the audio, or just the video from a sequence, and if we have
the right hardware, we can export directly to tape or disk.
To export a master copy, it is very straightforward in Premiere, with the sequence selected, either
in the Timeline Panel or the Project Panel, you simply use the File > Export > Media path :
Selecting 'Match Sequence Settings' here creates a finished file that matches the quality of the
original source, choose a suitable name for the file in the Output Name field, and click export.
Or
Select the 'Match Sequence Settings' within export dialogue, we can click on the 'Format' field to
change the type of file that is produced.
Depending on which format we choose. The preset below will allow us to choose a wide range of
output settings to suit the intended platform.
Once we choose a preset, we can further change the parameters to suit our project and even save
those as an additional custom preset for later projects.
