Chapter 1: A Tour of
Adobe Premiere
he tour in this chapter helps you understand and work with basic concepts and features
of the Adobe Premiere program. You’ll run through a typical series of steps for creating
a video piece, including basic editing techniques, adding transitions, motion, and trans-
parency. Completing the video piece should take approximately one hour.
You can preview the complete movie before you begin this lesson, or at any point along the way:
from the Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac OS), double-click the Tour.mov file in the Tour
folder in your Premiere folder (if you installed the Tour with Premiere) or on the Adobe
Premiere Application CD-ROM disc (if you did not install the Tour).
Note : To complete the tour or to view the Tour.mov file, QuickTime 2.5 or later must be installed
on your system. You can install QuickTime 3.0 with Premiere: For installation instructions,
see “Installing Adobe Premiere” on page 6.
Creating the bicycle advertisement: First steps
Over the course of this chapter, you’ll create a promotional television spot for a fictional bicycle
company using video and audio clips provided on the CD-ROM. You’ll be working with clips
that have already been digitized as QuickTime files. If you were actually producing this project
from the start, you would likely capture clips from the original video tapes and digitize them
yourself, using Premiere.
