A project file stores information about sequences and assets, such as settings for capture, transitions, and audio mixing. Also, the project file
contains the data from all of your editing decisions, such as the In and Out points for trimmed clips and the parameters for each effect. Premiere
Pro creates a folder on your hard disk at the start of each new project. By default, this is where it stores the files it captures, the preview and
conformed audio files it creates, and the project file itself.
For every project you create, Premiere Pro creates a project file. This file contains the settings you select for each sequence in the project, as well
as crucial data about the assets, edit decisions, and effects used in the project.
Premiere Pro doesn’t store video, audio, or still image files in the project file—it stores only a reference to each of these files, a clip, which is
based on the filename and location of the file at the time you imported it. If you later move, rename, or delete a source file, Premiere Pro can’t find
it automatically the next time you open the project. In this case, Premiere Pro displays the Where Is The File dialog box.
By default, every project includes a single Project panel. This acts as a storage area for all clips used in the project. You can organize a project’s
media and sequences using bins in the Project panel.
A project may contain multiple sequences, and the sequences within a project may differ from one another in their settings. Within a single project,
you can edit individual segments as separate sequences, and then combine the segments into a finished program by nesting them into a longer
sequence. Similarly, you can store multiple variations of a sequence, as separate sequences, in the same project.
There’s no need to save copies of a project when creating different segments or versions of the same video program. Simply create new or
duplicate sequences within a single project file.

Create a project
Projects may contain more than one sequence, and the settings for one sequence may differ from that of another. Premiere Pro will prompt you for
settings for the first sequence every time you create a new project. However, you can cancel this step to create a project containing no sequences.
1. (Optional) If you plan to capture video from a device, connect the device to your computer using an IEEE 1394 or SDI connection. Then turn
the device on, and do one of the following:
If the device is a camera, set it to the playback mode, which may be labeled VTR or VCR.
If the device is a deck, make sure that its output is set properly.
Don’t set a camera to any of the recording modes, which may be labeled Camera or Movie.
