Premier Pro Organisation
When creating and editing projects using premier pro there are a few things that would be best for you to follow in order to keep files managed so that they may be used easily.
Bins and Labeling
When you import your clips into Premier Pro they are placed into the finder in the bottom left of your screen under your project. These files could quickly increase to a large amount and with the default code given to them as a name you would quickly lose or forget which files are which. The first thing that must be done with any of the files imported then is to make sure that all or them are named or renamed with appropriate names that describe and identify the shot.
To increase your organisation it would be necessary for you to split your clips into different folders or "Bins" based on if they are shots for different scenes or from different shoots. You can create a bin by clicking the folder icon in the bar at the bottom of the project window. Make sure again that you label the bins so that you know what is contained with in each of them. Drag the files that are appropriate for the bin and then they are contained and can be seen or hidden using its drop down function.
There is a list of various information on objects that are imported into Premier Pro that can be used in tagging and finding certain clips as well as organisation. This data is metadata and what is shown can be edited in a window, so that you only see what will be important to you. Hovering over each option will give you a brief description of what the data holds if you are unsure such as Video Usage counts how many times a specific item of video has been used in the project so far.
Titles
Titles can be added to overlay any clips that you have contained in your project when played. This can be used for subtitling or to give an introduction to what the clip being shown is about. They are created by selecting the New Item button, at the bottom of the project bar, and choosing Title. This will launch the Title creating and editing window where you can choose where the text will go, font and size by using the various sliders and drop down menus. When you have created your title simply exit and you will find it in your project display among your other imported files. You can now drag and drop it into your project where you can move and resize its length in the timeline.
