Import Numbered Stills Select when you have selected the first of a consecutively numbered
sequence of still images. Deselect if you selected a still image that you intend to import as an
individual still frame.
When you want to replace an offline file after the project is open, you don't have to close the
project and then open it again. Instead, use the Replace Files command. For more information,
see "Using offline files" on page 126.
Note: Because a clip is only a reference to its source file, do not delete source files while you are using
them as clips in a Premiere project. After you deliver the final movie, you can delete source files if
you do not plan to edit the project or use the source files again.

Removing unused frames from source clips

Editing a video program means putting the best segments of the original clips into the
program. Sometimes, the clips you use in the final program are only small portions of the
original clips. Because video clips can take up large amounts of hard disk space, you can trim
the project so that unused frames are removed. Project trimming is especially useful before
archiving a completed project.
When you trim a project, Adobe Premiere first creates a copy of the project. In the new
project, each clip's original In and Out points become the new beginning and ending of the
clip, respectively. Clips that weren't used in the original project aren't copied into the new
project. Premiere can also create trimmed copies of the source clips. You can preserve extra
frames before the In point and after the Out point of each trimmed clip.
