In this post we look at three additional options for getting your footage into Premiere Pro.<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35779\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2014\/02\/premiere-pro-cc.jpg\" alt=\"Premiere Pro CC\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The most common way to get footage into <strong>Premiere Pro<\/strong> is to import it. You do this by going to File &gt; Import, or by double clicking in the Project.<\/p>\n<p>But what you may not know is there are 3 other ways to get footage into Premiere Pro.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"premiere-pro-media-browser\">Premiere Pro Media Browser<\/h2>\n<p>The Media Browser is part of Premiere Pro. If you are using the default workspace in Premiere Pro, it is beside the Project panel. <strong>The Media Browser allows you to view and play your footage on your hard drive before you import it into Premiere Pro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You can play your footage with the space bar, use the J\/K\/L shortcuts and Hover Scrub like you can in the Project.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-34829\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-02-09-at-11.33.27-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"318\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In my example I navigated to some footage from my Canon 5DM2.<\/p>\n<p>A nice feature is that the Media Browser hides files that aren&#8217;t the media, like the .THM files for my camera (if you were importing these files, you would see them).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34833\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-02-09-at-11.39.38-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"591\" height=\"203\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To import clips into the Project, select them and right click &#8220;Import&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If you double click on a clip in the Media Browser, it loads it into the Source Monitor, but not the Project. This allows you to play the clip before adding it to the Project.<\/p>\n<p>You can add clip(s) to the Project by dragging it to the Project or into a Sequence.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ingesting-through-adobe-prelude\">Ingesting through Adobe Prelude<\/h2>\n<p>Prelude is Adobe&#8217;s ingest and logging software. <em>For more in-depth info on Prelude check out the Premiumbeat articles <a title=\"Premium Beat Prelude Articles\" href=\"http:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/?s=Adobe+Prelude\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Companies with multiple editors and large projects may prefer to use Adobe Prelude to ingest the media and organize it<\/strong>, and then hand that off to an editor. In Prelude you can create bins, organize your media, make subclips\/add comments and even create a rough cut.<\/p>\n<p>In my example I have created a bin and a rough cut in Prelude that I now want to get into Premiere Pro.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-34805\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-02-09-at-10.42.18-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"457\" height=\"279\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-34806\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-02-09-at-10.45.20-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"467\" height=\"175\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I select the footage and the Rough Cut, right click and select &#8220;Send to Premiere Pro&#8221; (have Premiere Pro open before you do this).<\/p>\n<p>This will send what we did in Prelude to Premiere Pro. If we needed to move the Project and the Media to another system or location, we would select File &gt; Export Project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34812 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/pbblogassets\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-02-09-at-10.55.37-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"294\" height=\"303\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"importing-footage-from-adobe-bridge\">Importing Footage from Adobe Bridge<\/h2>\n<p>Bridge is Adobe&#8217;s asset management software. <strong>Adobe Bridge let&#8217;s you organize, rate and filter media<\/strong>.
