Between all nonlinear editors (NLEs) there are things that are similar and things that are different. If you are migrating to Adobe Premiere Pro CC, what are some similarities and differences about importing that you need to be aware of? Author Jeff Greenberg gives some key comparisons about importing between Premiere Pro and other NLEs.
- Here are some key comparisons as I come from other editorial tools about the importing process of Premiere Pro. First off, everything is linked. It really is important that you start by being organized. This is where that whole folder, the common media folder, becomes something really important to keep in mind. If you're a Final Cut 7 editor, you're used to this. If you're a Final Cut X or an Avid Editor, this is new to you. This just has to do with the fact that it links. For Avid editors it's kind of like a AMA link.
For Final Cut X editors, you should know that this is the sort of thing where you can make a switch to make it link to footage rather than copy it in. But here in Premiere we're looking to our media, unless we talk about a trans code or a proxy workflow. The Ingest switch is what gives you the access to the copy + more, and you're going to find that in a couple places, including the media browser right up here. This is just an extension of the project settings.
Last, if you're a Final Cut X editor, there are no keywords, but there is something that's kind of close. There's search bins. If you're an Avid editor or a Final Cut 7 editor, it's really valuable. The idea that here in my project, and I'm just going to go full screen with that tilde key, that I can come up to the file menu and say new search bin, and I can fill out any sort of criteria. In this case I'm going to type in B roll, and any clip with the word B roll in it automatically gets put into that bin.
Once again, I can't stress enough to be organized outside of Premiere before you bring your footage in, using that folder format. That common media folder or whatever you choose to call it means that you can easily copy your entire project when you're finished.
