MEDIA MANAGEMENT
When editing your projects, you must edit and save your project on your personal external hard drive. There are two primary types of external storage devices you can use to edit your projects. MNN is capable of supporting hard drives with USB or Thunderbolt connections. Please make sure your hard drive has a speed of 7200 Revolutions per minute (RPM).
EXTERNAL DESKTOP HARD DRIVE - (USB OR THUNDERBOLT)
An electrical outlet powers these drives. They are fast, stable and can hold upwards of 2 Terabytes worth of space
EXTERNAL PORTABLE USB DRIVE (USB OR THUNDERBOLT)
These drives are powered through the USB or Thunderbolt port on a computer. Due to their portability, the cost increases as the storage space increases. These are the best option when editing-on-the-go. They can also hold upwards of 2 Terabytes worth of space.
Please Note: USB thumb drives and SD media cards are not suitable media storage options when editing projects. USB drives are best for transferring media from computer to computer and SD cards are designed to record media.
FILE MANAGEMENT
File management & organization is essential to becoming an efficient editor. Keeping similar file types in clearly defined folders makes the organizing of files within the non-linear editing software easier.
Here is an example of good file management. While this structure will vary as you work on your own personal projects, the primary goal is to keep like files together in the same folder.
CREATING A NEW PROJECT
After you have plugged in your hard drive and organized your media assets in your project template folder, you are ready to open the Adobe Premiere CC application. If you used the project template, there is a sub-folder titled “Project Files.” That is the location where you will save your Adobe Premiere Project. This is an essential step in the editing preparation process because this is where important files are located. By default, this folder will be the location where your preview files and auto-save files will be stored. To create a new project, do the following:
1. Double-click the Adobe Premiere Pro CC application located on the dock.
2. You should arrive at a welcome screen where you can select “New Project.” If the welcome screen does not load, select FILE > NEW PROJECT. You will then see a window where you can name your project. Give your project a name.
1. You will then see a window where you can name your project. Give your project a name
2. Select the BROWSE button to save the project inside of the designated “Project Files” folder
3. Select OK. You have created a new project.
After you create your first project, you can open the project and Adobe Premiere Pro CC by navigating to the Project Files folder and double-clicking on the project file. While you can also open Premiere from the application icon on the dock. Opening from the file is the best method. This will ensure you are editing your project from your hard drive and not the computer’s
