To add a video to Adobe Premiere Pro, you can either import it into the project panel and then drag it to the timeline, or you can insert it directly into the timeline using the "Insert" button.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
1. Importing Video Clips into the Project Panel:
- File Menu: Go to
File > Importand select the video file from your computer. - Project Panel: In Premiere Pro, the Project Panel is usually located in the lower-left corner of the interface. Right-click in the panel and select
Import. - Drag and Drop: Simply drag the video file from your computer's file explorer directly into the Project Panel.
2. Adding Video Clips to the Timeline:
Once the video is imported into the Project Panel, there are several ways to add it to the Timeline:
- Drag and Drop: Drag the video clip from the Project Panel to the desired location on the Timeline.
- Insert: Position the playhead (the vertical line indicating the current frame) in the Timeline where you want to insert the video. Select the video clip in the Project Panel. Then, click the "Insert" button (often found in the Source Monitor panel). This will insert the clip at the playhead position, shifting any existing clips to the right.
- Overwrite: Position the playhead where you want to overwrite existing content. Select the video clip in the Project Panel and click the "Overwrite" button (often found in the Source Monitor panel). This will replace the existing content on the timeline with the new clip.
By using these methods, you can efficiently add and arrange video clips within the Premiere Pro Timeline to create your desired video sequence.
