Preparing material for editing

Steps:



I log on into a MediaE area as it's our local area

• --> I insert my SD card into the computer(iMac)and open it up

• After I locate the folder, I copy and paste 'Private' folder into "MacHD\Users\mediaa\Movies" .

• I rename the 'Private' folder to the project name and open up 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS6'

• Then I begin to import all the footage

All my footage is arranged  properly in bins to ensure that it is easy to sort on the timeline. 

Premiere Pro creates a link to the original asset on the hard drive and allows to change the name of the file in the app without changing the asset. So, if we change a name from ‘Clip 001′ to ‘Brut logo’ Premiere Pro will still always play ‘Clip 001′ on the hard drive every time we see ‘Brut logo’ in our project panel.    

Keeping video editing assets organized is very important  because it is easier to find them later. It is necessary to name bins properly so that it would be clear what is kept inside them. This can save a lot of time while editing.
