About importing files

For a video overview of the ways to import assets into Premiere Pro, see the Adobe website.

Importing is different from capturing. The Import command brings files that are already on your hard disk or other connected storage device into

your project. Importing files makes them available to a Premiere Pro project. Premiere Pro lets you import numerous types of video, still images,

and audio. Finally, you can export a Premiere Pro project from After Effects, and import it into Premiere Pro.

You can import video, audio, and still files in various file formats into a Premiere Pro project. You can import a single file, multiple files, or an entire

folder. Frame sizes cannot exceed 16 megapixels.

If you have spanned clips, be sure to import them via the Media Browser instead of importing them through the File menu.

If the software you use to create art doesn’t let you specify pixels as a unit of measure, try specifying points.

For a basic tutorial on importing, editing, and then exporting a file, see this video by Clay Asbury.

In Premiere Pro, you can import files by using the Media Browser or the Import command. You can also place files into Premiere Pro from Adobe

Bridge.

Premiere Pro indexes certain types of files and transcodes others after importing them. You cannot edit these types fully until these processes are

completed. The filename of a clip appears in the Project panel in italics until it has been fully indexed or transcoded.

To import files that Premiere Pro does not support natively, install the appropriate capture card or third-party plug-in software. For more

information, check the manual that came with the installed card or plug-in.

You can also import files and folders by dragging them from Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac OS) into the Project panel. On

Windows Vista, if the User Account Control (UAC) is activated, Windows disables drag-and-drop from Windows Explorer, or any program, to

any program running in Administrator mode. You run Premiere Pro in Administrator mode for plug-in activation, special disk access, and

network permissions. To enable drag-and-drop while running Premiere Pro in Administrator mode, disable the UAC. In Windows Control Panel,

select User Accounts. Disable UAC for the selected user.

Import files with the Media Browser

The Media Browser makes it easy to browse to files, and to find them by their type. Unlike the Import dialog box, the Media Browser can be left

open, and docked, like any other panel. The Media Browser gives you quick access to all your assets while you edit. Also, you can use the Media

Browser to import clips copied from video storage media such as P2 cards, SxS cards, XDCAM disks, and DVDs. When you import an asset

Premiere Pro leaves it in its current location, and creates a clip in the Project panel that points to it. By default, Premiere Pro writes XMP files to

the directory where the media files are located, but you can turn off this behavior in Preferences. For best performance, first transfer files from their

file-based media to a local hard disk. Then, import them into Premiere Pro projects from the hard disk.

1. Select Window > Media Browser.

2. To browse to the desired files, do one of the following:

To open a folder recently opened, click the triangle in the Recent Directories menu, and select the folder.
