The document provides instructions for completing an editing workshop assignment to create a 60-second film titled "People on the Move." Students are asked to storyboard ideas, capture footage around campus showing movement, and edit the footage together in Adobe Premier. The summary focuses on importing footage and audio, selecting clips, arranging clips on separate video and audio timelines, and basic editing techniques like cutting and transitions. The goal is to practice camerawork, storytelling, and editing skills.

To import a song into your project go to File then Import which will take open a window allowing you to
navigate to your music folder and select the track you want.
If you want to use a track from a CD you will need to
import the track to your music folder or player first,
otherwise the program will try to play the track from
the CD each time - and won’t pay if the CD is not
inserted.
The track should appear in
the window that sits in the
top left hand corner of the
screen

30. Editing: importing music
To bring the chosen song into your
Sequence simply click and drag it
onto an Audio track on the
Timeline.
(it might be best at this stage to
import it into Audio 2)
This is what the track will
look like in the timeline. If
you press the Space Bar
the sequence will play
through the track. Press
Space Bar again to pause.

31.  Audio and video are both separate elements and they each have their
own individual time lines
 When you insert and extract both audio & video are synced
 If you would like to edit the sound individually you must ‘un-link’ the
two time lines

32.  You may now manipulate the video and audio individually
 Use this tool if you would like to include a voice over
