Create new projects

On the home screen, select New Project.

Enter a name for the project, choose the location to save your file, and select a project template of your choice. You can also add a project template saved on your system.

Select the Settings icon to access the Project Settings, including General, Color, Scratch Disks, and Ingest Settings.

Select video clips and other media assets to add to your project. As you choose your media, the assets are collected in the Selection Tray at the bottom of the window. You can right-click an asset in the tray to remove them or clear the whole tray if needed.

In the Import Settings section of the Import desktop, select the following options to organize your files:

• Organize Media: Use to organize your project media before you start editing. Create a new bin, name it, and the media is displayed and not copied to the new location.
• Copy media: Toggle to copy media files from a temporary location, like a camera card or removable drive. You can begin editing while Premiere Pro copies the media in the background. Use MD5 checksum verification to ensure no files are corrupted while copying.
• Create new sequence: Toggle to reduce the number of clicks. Premiere Pro assigns the sequence settings, such as resolution and frame rate, based on the first asset selected. If Create new sequence is toggled on, the new media is added as a new sequence in your project. If it’s is toggled off, the new media is added in the Project panel.
• Automatic transcription: Select this option to import your media and automatically generate a transcript as soon as it's imported. This will save time later in the workflow if you plan to create captions.

Select Create to import your media as a sequence in Premiere Pro.
