¦ Note This chapter provides instructions for using Adobe Premiere Pro CC and
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. When an operation is different between the CC and
CS6 versions, the version is displayed after the operation as (CC) or (CS6).

boxes in the CS6 version may be slightly different.
Running antivirus software with Adobe
Premiere Pro
To avoid having dropped frames or other performance issues when working with
Adobe Premiere Pro, make sure that you disable any antivirus scanning of files
while running Premiere Pro. If possible, schedule your antivirus scanning at a
time when you’re not using Premiere Pro, such as overnight or on the weekend.
Displaying warnings in Adobe Premiere Pro’s
Events panel
Matrox MXO2 uses Adobe Premiere Pro’s Events panel to issue certain error
messages and warnings. To display these, choose Window > Events . For more
information about using the Events panel, see your Adobe Premiere Pro
documentation.
Creating a new Adobe Premiere Pro project
Creating a new Adobe Premiere Pro project involves specifying the location of
your scratch disks and selecting a sequence preset.
° To create a new project:
1 Start Adobe Premiere Pro and click New Project . The New Project dialog
box appears. You can leave all the settings on the General pane at the default
settings. For details on changing these settings, see your Adobe Premiere Pro
documentation.
2 Click the Scratch Disks tab, and use the Browse button to select an
appropriate A/V drive for each scratch disk type. When specifying the
location of your scratch disks, make sure you follow the recommendations in
your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation. For example, store your video and
audio files on a separate hard drive dedicated to your media assets.
¥ Tip Specifying the same scratch disk settings for all your projects will help
shorten the amount of time it takes to open new or existing projects.
3 From the Location list, select where you want to save your project.
4 In the Name box, specify a name for your project.
5 Click OK to save your settings.
