After you launch Premiere a welcome opens providing you with three options, you can start a new project, open an existing project, or get help. For now let's open a new project and then go through the steps in setting up your workspace. Once you choose this option the new project dialog opens, the first thing we need to do is establish the general parameters for a given project, these parameters control things such as how Adobe Premiere Pro works with your source device and video and audio files. How it renders your previews and so on, all the project settings that you'll establish here apply to the whole project and most can't be changed after a project is created. Notice that the dialog is divided into two tabs, load preset or custom settings. Presets contain groups of project settings Premiere Pro shifts with a variety of these already included, organized into categories here, DV 24P, DV NTSC, DV PAL, HDV and then mobile and devices. And most of these contain options within those groups. Presets are simply groups of projects settings. Notice that for each one there is a description, over here and then a general summary of what those project settings entail for that selection. These presets contain the correct project settings for most typical project types when creating a new project you can either select from among the standard presets here or customize a group of project settings and then save the customized group as a custom preset. That's where this custom settings tab comes in. If you want full control over almost all of the projects parameters you'll want to start a new project and then customize the presets right here in the custom settings tab. After you begin working on a project you can review your project settings but you can only change a few of these settings. To do so, you'll want to choose project in the main menu, project settings, the project settings are organized into these four categories, general capture, video rendering and default sequence. The general settings here control the fundamental characteristics of the project including the method Premiere Pro uses to process video; this is called the editing mode right up here. As well as how to playback the video, that's the time based mode, right here. Notice that you cannot change those once you set them up initially. Notice you also have your video frame size which cannot be changed, fields, display format can be changed, 30 frames per second. Feet plus frames, frames and so on. Can also change your title safe area and your actions safe area, the title safe area is the safe location where you can place titles where they will not move off the edge of this screen. Action safe, notice the smaller this is the area where its safe to have movement, so there's a larger percentage of the frame that can show the action safe area and then you have your audio sample rate which is also fixed and the display format, audio samples are milliseconds, probably easier to leave it to audio samples if you are working with audio. Next you have a capture settings this controls how Premiere Pro transfers video and audio directly from a deck or camera. None of the other project settings or options effect the capturing, the options are dv capture here since, I don't have any hardware devices attached to my computer this is the only option that I have. Video rendering controls the frame size picture quality, compression settings and aspect ratios that Premiere Pro CS3 will use when you play back video from the timeline panel. This is where you'll be editing your video program. And lastly we have the default sequence, this controls a number of video tracks and the number and type of audio for any new sequences that you create and everything is changeable here. The video setting will set up how many video tracks or available in a new sequence. The audio allows you to set your master audio track to mono stereo or 5.1 surround sound. And then establish the number of mono, stereo and 5.1 tracks are available as well as your sub mix your mono sub mix, stereo sub mix and 5.1 sub mix channels. Now if you need to change project settings that are unavailable you can create a new project by choosing file, new project, and then import the current project into the new project and with the new project you go ahead and make the changes that you need. Now if you do import the current project into a project with different frame rates or audio sampling rates, check the video and audio edits carefully. Although edit positions made under the old settings are preserved. They may not synchronize precisely with the new settings, edits or changes you make after importing our synchronize with the new settings, so those, some things you need to be careful about are the audio sampling rate, that should match. Also I found that the frame size is very important, that you keep that consistent so you wanna change your editing mode to desktop and then go ahead and enter in the frame size that you used in the other project. Let's say 800 by 600 and lastly that frame rate settings will be here under time base. Ten frames per second 12, 15, 24 and so on. So you want to match that frame rate with the other project.
