USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO
Project setup
Last updated 1/16/2012
Skip
Replaces a missing file with a temporary offline clip for the duration of a session. When you close your project
and then reopen it, you see a dialog box that asks you to locate the file or allows you to skip it again.
Skip All
Like Skip, Skip All replaces all missing files with temporary offline files.
Important:
Select Skip or Skip All only when you are certain that you want to rework all the instances where the file is
used in the project. If you want to keep the file in the project but can’t locate it at the moment, use Offline instead.
Skip Previews
Stops Premiere Pro from searching for any preview files already rendered for the project. This allows
the project to load faster, but you may need to render parts of its sequences for best playback performance.
Offline
Replaces a missing file with an
offline clip
, a placeholder that preserves all references to the missing file
everywhere in the project. Unlike the temporary offline clip created by Skip, the one generated by Offline persists
between sessions, so you won’t have to locate missing files every time the project is opened.
Offline All
Like Offline, Offline All replaces all missing files with persistent offline files.
Note:
Do not delete source files while you are using them as clips in a Premiere Pro project unless they were captured using
device control, and you plan to recapture them. After you deliver the final movie, you can delete source files.

files have a .prproj filename extension.
2
Press Delete.
Moving a project to another computer
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 relink 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. For more information about moving a project and its assets to another computer, see “
Trim or copy your
project

Archiving projects
The Premiere Pro Project Manager can help facilitate an efficient workflow by performing two functions: reducing the
storage needs of a project, and consolidating the files associated with a project.
