Why are we doing this?
This activity allows you to practice using Premiere Pro for the first time in this class. The learning objectives for this activity cover skills that are absolutely essential for the rest of the class.
Learning objectives
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
Step One: Create a project folder and collect your media
Create a project folder on your computer Desktop and name that folder using good naming practices as we learned previously. I'll name mine montage_practice. You will be putting all your project files in this folder, including your Premiere Pro configuration file.
Now it's time to download images for your video.
You can download a prepared set of images and videos at this link: Tokyo Bay Images
Optional: As an option, you can download your images and videos from any of the links below. These are the same links you can find at the bottom of the main menu at left:
You must use at least eight files. Your finished video should be between 45 seconds and 1 minute long. You can use as many files as you like.
Remember to save your files in your project folder on your Desktop! Also, when you are saving your files, rename them if necessary. If they already have a good, descriptive name, then that's fine.
If you have your own images or videos available for download that you'd rather use, that's great!
Step Two: Create a Premiere Pro project in your project folder
This step is very important! When creating your Premiere Pro project be sure to give it a descriptive title and also change the location for your project file.
See this image for instructions on how to do that.
You can also view the video at this link named Create a project. You can find this tutorial under the Learning tab at the top of your Premiere Pro.
If you created your Premiere Pro project properly, you should now see a file with a prproj extension. So if you named your project Montage1, your project file will appears in your Desktop project folder as Montage1.prproj. If you do not see it there, stop! It's very important to get this right from the start. If you can't find your prproj file, try to set up your project again. If you still can't find it, it's time to start the Ask 3 process!
Step Three: Import your media into your Premiere Pro project
View the video on this link named Import media. You can also find this tutorial under the Learning tab at the top of your Premiere Pro.
Step Four: Arrange your media on your timeline
Now that you have your media imported into your Premiere Pro project, it's time to build your sequence by dragging your media onto the timeline.
Please watch the video titled Build a sequence at this link. You can also find this tutorial under the Learning tab of your Premiere Pro.
Step Five: Export to mp4, upload to Google Drive, and share on Google Classroom
To export to mp4, complete the following steps: (Adobe, n.d.)
