2.  Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based
video editing software application.
 How Does Premiere Work?
Like most editing software, Premiere works
by importing video from a source such as a
video tape onto your hard drive, then
allowing you to create new edited versions
which you can export back to tape, disc or
other medium.

3.  Premiere is a powerful editing tool, capable of
producing broadcast-quality and high-
definition video. It is a very popular package
amongst video enthusiasts and professionals,
although other packages are usually preferred
for the very top level of television production.
 Premiere has a nice clean interface which is
relatively easy to use for people of all skill levels.

4.  Import video, audio and graphics in a wide
variety of formats.
 Edit, manipulate and arrange these elements
in a visual timeline.
 Add effects, filters, titles, etc.
 Export your edited video in a variety of
formats, including video tape recordings, DV,
DVD, and common Internet video formats.

5.  For every project Premiere Pro creates a project file.
Premiere Pro doesn’t store video, audio, or still
image files in the project file—it stores only a
reference to each of these files, a clip, which is
based on the filename and location of the file at the
time you imported it.
If you later move, rename, or delete a source file,
Premiere Pro can’t find it automatically the next
time you open the project. In this case, Premiere
Pro displays theWhere Is the File dialog box.

6.  To move a project to another computer where you
want to continue editing, you must move copies of
all the assets for the project to the second
computer, as well as the project file.The assets
should retain their file names and folder locations so
that Premiere Pro can find them and re link them to
their clips in the project automatically.
 Make certain, also that the same codecs you used
for the project on the first computer are also
installed on the second computer.

7.  To bring footage into a Premiere Pro project, you can
capture it, or digitize it, depending on the type of source
material:
 Capture
You capture digital video from a live camera or from tape:
you record it from the source to the hard disk.You capture
the video from tape to the hard disk before using it in a
project.
Premiere Pro saves captured footage to disk as files, and
imports the files into projects as clips.

8.  Digitize
You digitize analog video from a live analog
camera source .You digitize the analog video,
convert it to digital form, so your computer
can store and process it.
Premiere Pro saves digitized footage to disk
as files, and imports the files into projects as
clips.

9.  In addition to capturing footage, you can import image, video, and
audio files.You can add files from the following: folders on your
computer, accessory hard drives, card readers, mobile phones,
DVDs, blu-ray discs, CDs, digital cameras, other devices, or the
Internet. Adobe Premiere Elements 10.0 supports DV, HDV,
WDM (Windows only), and AVCHD formatted video.
 Files that you add to a project are visible in the Media view and are
automatically added to the Elements Organizer. Added files can
retain a link to the Adobe application in which they were created,
if you select Embed Project Link when saving the file in the
original application.This link allows you to open the file's original
application from within Adobe Premiere Elements, edit, and
immediately see the results.

13. Safe areas on a
PAL screen.
Red: Invisible area
Yellow: Action
safe area
Green:Title safe
area

14.  Depending on how a television set is adjusted, viewers can see a larger
area than the title safe area.The action safe area is a larger rectangle,
consisting of the green title safe area and a rectangle around it shown in
yellow Most television stations and networks will place information
within this area.This area can be considered the "margin" of the
television screen in that picture elements are generally kept out of this
area to create a buffer around the edge of the screen so elements don't
pile up against the edge of the screen. If the station uses a permanent
digital on-screen graphic, it is placed just near the corner of the yellow
area.
 However, the yellow area might be used if the television station wants
the information to block against the edge of the screen. For example,
many stations place tickers that run horizontally in some of the yellow
area.
 Action safe area is applied against a worst case of on-screen location and
display type.

15.  Safe area is a term used in television
production to describe the areas of the
television picture that can be seen on
television screens.
 The use of safe areas in television production
ensures that the most important parts of the
picture are seen by the majority of viewers.
 Video Area (100% width, 100% height)
 SafeAction Area (93% width, 93% height)
 SafeTitleArea (90% width, 90% height)

16.  The title safe area is, in television broadcasting, a
rectangular area which is far enough a. in from the four
edges, such that text or graphics show neatly: with a
margin and without distortion.This is applied against a
worst case of on-screen location and display type.
Typically corners would require more space from the
edges, but due to increased quality of the average display
this is no longer the concern it used to be, even on CRTs.
 If the editor of the content does not take care to ensure
that all titles are inside the title safe area, some titles in
the content could have their edges chopped off when
viewed in some screens.

17.  In video production and filmmaking, timecode is used
extensively for synchronization, and for logging and
identifying material in recorded media. During
filmmaking or video production shoot, the camera
assistant will typically log the start and end timecodes
of shots, and the data generated will be sent on to the
editorial department for use in referencing those
shots.This shot-logging process was traditionally
done by hand using pen and paper, but is now
typically done using shot-logging software running on
a laptop computer that is connected to the time code
generator or the camera itself.

18.  PAL and NTSC are to formats of video used
in the UK and the USA. First time I ever saw
PAL/NTSC was on my old SNES console when
I tried to connect it to theTV. PAL is used in
the UK and NTSC in the US.They are
different frame rates and resolutions.

19.  A project may contain multiple sequences,
and the sequences within a project may differ
from one another in their settings.Within a
single project, you can edit individual
segments as separate sequences, and then
combine the segments into a finished
program by nesting them into a longer
sequence. Similarly, you can store multiple
variations of a sequence, as separate
sequences, in the same project.

20.  The screenshot below shows the default
workspace.This workspace can be
customized in many ways — you can
rearrange the panels and use specialist panels
for different tasks (audio mixing, titles, etc).
For now we will stick to the default
workspace.

22.  TheTools Panel is where you can select various editing tools to use
in the timeline.
 The Project Panel is where you store all the elements which make
up your edited video (video clips, audio clips, graphics, titles,
etc).By default, every project includes a single Project panel.This
acts as a storage area for all clips used in the project.You can
organize a project’s media and sequences using bins in the Project
panel.
 The Source Monitor is where you can preview clips, make simple
adjustments and add them to the timeline.
 The Program Monitor shows the edited video from the timeline.

23.  The Media Browser allows you to browse, preview and import clips from your
hard drives and network.
 TheTimeline Panel is where you arrange the elements of your video in the
desired order.The timeline panel is where your video takes shape. By dragging
items from the project panel or source monitor and placing them in the desired
order, you create a sequence of clips and events which play in the timeline from
left to right.
With items in the timeline, you can:
 Adjust edit points, making clips shorter or longer, or stretch them over time.
 Create multiple layers of video, e.g. titles, superimposed images, etc.
 Create multiple layers of audio, e.g. voiceovers, music, etc.
 Add transitions, filters, special effects, etc.
 You can also create "nested" sequences to help keep the timeline manageable.
 When you have finished editing the timeline, you can play it back in real time or
export it in a variety of formats.
 The Audio Meters display the volume level from the timeline.

25.  The CurrentTime Indicator (CTI) is a blue
triangular indicator which shows you where you
are in the timeline.
 In the main timeline panel the CTI appears with a
vertical red line overlaid on the sequence tracks,
as illustrated below.This CTI is linked to the
program monitor panel — the monitor shows
the same frame as the CTI.When you play the
sequence you'll see the CTI moving from left to
right across the timeline
