CHAPTER 2 70
Working with Projects
To trim a project:
1
With a project open, choose File > Utilities > Project Trimmer.
2 Select Create Trimmed Batch List to create a batch list that can be used to redigitize the
trimmed versions of the clips. For more information, see “Creating a batch list to redigitize
project clips” on page 104.
3
Select Copy Trimmed Source Files to make new copies of existing source files that include
only the frames used in the Timeline plus handles as specified below.
4
If you want, select Keep _ Frame Handles and type the number of frames to retain before
the In point and after the Out point of each clip so that edits can still be adjusted later.
5
Click Create Project.
6 When asked, specify the location and name of the new project based on the trimmed clips;
make sure it’s a different folder than the original location. Click Save.
7 Close the original project. Choose File > Open, locate the trimmed version, and click OK.
8 Examine the trimmed version of the project. If it’s satisfactory, you can delete the original
project and its source clips or move them to an archive disk.
Using a Premiere project on another platform
Premiere project files are designed to be usable across computer platforms. You can open
and work with a Premiere project on any other platform on which Premiere 5.0 is available.
Transferring a Premiere project to another platform is similar to moving a Premiere project
to another computer: You must move not only the project file, but all of the source clips used
in the project. In addition, follow these guidelines:
•
All of the source files must be in a format supported by the destination platform. For
example, if you plan to transfer a project to Mac OS for editing, don’t use Windows PCX files.
For more information about filename extensions and platform support for various file formats,
see “Importing clips” on page 120.
