Importing Digital Audio - Adobe 25520388 - Premiere Pro - PC Using Manual

USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO
Importing, transferring, capturing, and digitizing
Even though the layers in Illustrator are merged in Premiere Pro you can edit the layers by selecting the clip and
choosing Edit > Edit Original.
Import numbered still-image sequences as video clips
You can import an animation contained in a single file, such as an animated GIF. You can also import a sequence of
numbered still-image files, such as a TIFF sequence, and automatically combine them into a single video clip; each
numbered file becomes one frame of video. Importing a sequence is useful for animations exported as a series of
numbered still images by applications like After Effects. The images in the series cannot include layers. For
information on layers and flattening, see the application's documentation.
Set the framerate for the still-image sequence. Select Edit > Preferences > Media (Windows), or Premiere Pro >
1
Preferences > Media. Then, select a framerate from the Indeterminate Media Timebase menu. Click OK.
Make sure that each still-image filename contains an equal number of digits at the end and has the correct file
2
extension—for example, file000.bmp, file001.bmp, and so forth.
3 Choose File > Import.
Locate and select the first numbered file in the sequence, select Numbered Stills, and click Open. When Numbered
4
Stills is selected, Premiere Pro interprets each of the numbered files as a single frame in a video clip.
Note: Changing the default duration of still images in the Preferences dialog box does not affect the duration of numbered
stills imported into a video clip. Each still becomes one frame when imported in this way.

Importing digital audio

You can import digital audio clips stored as audio files or tracks in video files. Digital audio is stored on computer hard
disks, audio CDs, or digital audio tape (DAT) as binary data readable by computers. To keep quality as high as possible,
transfer digital audio files to your computer via digital connections. Avoid digitizing the analog outputs from your
audio sources through your sound card.
Note: To capture an audio-only file from a digital video source, choose Audio from the Capture menu in the Logging pane
of the Capture panel. Premiere Pro does not support audio-only capture for some formats, such as HDV.
Using audio from audio CDs
You can use CD audio (CDA) files in a project, but before you can import them into Premiere Pro, you need to convert
them to a supported file format, such as WAV or AIFF. You can convert CDA files using an audio application such as
Adobe® Audition®.
Note: Make sure that you own the copyrights or have licensed the copyrights to any audio tracks you use.
Using compressed audio formats
Music stored in formats such as MP3 and WMA are compressed using a method that removes some of the original
audio quality. To play back compressed audio, Premiere Pro must decompress the file and may need to resample it to
match your output settings. Although Premiere Pro uses a high-quality resampler for this purpose, the best results
come from using an uncompressed or CD audio version of the audio clip whenever possible.
