Project window, you can import storyboard files created in earlier versions of Adobe
Premiere Pro by using the File > Import command.
Changing the frame rate of a clip
You can use the Interpret Footage command to change the frame rate that Adobe
Premiere Pro assumes for a clip. Changing the frame rate changes the original duration
proportionally. For example, if you set a 10-second 24-fps clip to 48 fps, it becomes half as
long, with a new duration of 5 seconds. Be aware that a clip’s frame rate is reconciled with
the project’s frame rate. For example, if you change a 24-fps clip to 48 fps and it’s used in a
24-fps project, the project can display only every other frame of the clip.
You can also change clip speed and duration by choosing the Clip > Speed command for a
clip selected in the Timeline window. However, such a change affects only that clip
instance in the timeline. Using the Interpret Footage command changes how a file is inter-
preted throughout a project.
To change the assumed frame rate of a media file:
1
In the Project window, select a clip.
2
Choose File > Interpret Footage, select a Frame Rate option, and click OK.
Creating a counting leader
If you plan to create film output from a sequence, you may want to add a counting leader.
A counting leader helps a projectionist verify that audio and video are working properly
and are synchronized. You can create and customize a
universal counting leader
to add to
the beginning of a project. The leader is 11 seconds long.
To create a leader:
In the Project window, click the New Item button at the bottom of the Project Window
and choose Universal Counting Leader from the menu that appears. Specify the following
options as needed:
Wipe Color
Specifies a color for the circular one-second wipe area.
Background Color
Specifies a color for the area behind the wipe color.
Line Color
Specifies a color for the horizontal and vertical lines.
Target Color
Specifies a color for the double circles around the numeral.
Numeral Color
Specifies a color for the countdown numeral.
Cue Blip on Out
Displays a small cue circle in the last frame of the leader.
Cue Blip on 2
Plays a beep at the two-second mark.
Cue Blip at All Second Starts
Plays a beep at the beginning of every second during
the leader.
You can customize a counting leader clip by double-clicking it in the Project window.
