Setting up Project and Sequence Settings in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (Windows)

The following steps show how to setup a new project and sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.

NOTE: Eventually Prospect HD/4K/3D will have Sequence Presets, but for now use the guidelines below.

 

Create a New Project
Launch Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and create a new project.

premiere_cs4_newproject

Choose a Location and Name for your project. and click ‘OK’.

Create a New Sequence
The New Sequence window then opens. Click on the ‘General’ tab.

premiere_cs4_sequence_settings

Choose ‘Desktop’ for the Editing Mode.

For the rest of the settings, choose the options that best match your source footage. For example, if your CineForm AVI files are 1920 x 1080 at 23.976 fps, then choose ‘23.976′ for the Timebase, ‘1920 x 1080′ for the Frame Size, ‘Square Pixels (1.0)’ for the Pixel Aspect Ratio, ‘No Fields (Progressive Scan) for the Fields and ‘24fps Timecode’ for the Display Format.

Your Audio Settings should most likely be ‘48000 Hz’.

For the Video Previews, choose ‘I-Frame Only MPEG’ (this option is only available if you’ve downloaded the latest CS4 product updates).

When you are done customizing these settings, you may want to click the ‘Save Preset‘ button so you don’t have to go through these steps again.

Type a name for the sequence in the Sequence Name box and click ‘OK’.

Import your footage in to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and edit your sequence. Refer to the Premiere Pro CS4 documentation for more information:
