28 USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS4
Workflows and system setup
Last updated 11/6/2011
• Launch Adobe Bridge from within Premiere Pro, use Adobe Bridge to organize, tag and find assets, and then use it
to place them in various applications, including Premiere Pro, for modification. (See Adobe Bridge Help.)
• Import layered Photoshop files, Illustrator files, After Effects projects, files made with the previous version of the
Titler, and various files made with Adobe Premiere 6.0, all into Premiere Pro. (See “
Import files with the Import
commands ” on page 86.)
• Use the Edit Original command in Premiere Pro to edit an asset in the application in which it was generated. (See
“
Edit a clip in its original application ” on page 28.)
• Use the Edit In Adobe Soundbooth command in Premiere Pro to edit an audio file or soundtrack in Soundbooth.
(See “
About editing audio in Adobe Soundbooth ” on page 234.) Alternately, if you have Adobe Audition installed,
you can use the Edit In Adobe Audition command to edit an audio file or soundtrack. (See “ Editing audio in Adobe
Audition ” on page 235.)
• Use Adobe Dynamic Link to create a new After Effects composition from within a Premiere Pro project. Any
changes made to that composition in After Effects will immediately appear in Premiere Pro without a need for
rendering. (See “
About Dynamic Link (Production Premium or Master Collection only) ” on page 34)
• Export any sequence from Premiere Pro into Adobe Encore for authoring, mastering, and burning to DVDs or Blu-
ray Discs. (See “
About exporting to DVD, Blu-ray Disc, or CD ” on page 455.)
• Export any sequence to FLV for web delivery, or further authoring in Adobe Flash Professional or Adobe
Dreamweaver. (See “
About exporting for the web ” on page 465.)
About Adobe Bridge
Adobe Bridge helps you locate, organize, and browse assets that you need to create print, web, video, and audio
content.
From Adobe Bridge, you can do the following:
• Manage image, footage, and audio files: you can view, search, sort, and process files. You can also edit metadata for
files in Adobe Bridge, and place files into documents, projects, or compositions.
• Work with Version Cue®-managed assets.
• Perform automated tasks, such as batch commands.
• Manage photos: Generate a web gallery from a group of images, import and edit photos from a digital camera card,
group related photos in stacks, and open or import camera raw files and edit their settings without starting
Photoshop. You can also search leading stock libraries and download royalty-free images by way of Adobe Stock
Photos in Adobe Bridge.
• Start a real-time web conference to share your desktop and review documents.
• Synchronize color settings across color-managed Adobe Creative Suite components.
For more information about using Adobe Bridge, see Adobe Bridge Help.
Edit a clip in its original application
The Edit Original command opens clips in the applications associated with their file types. You can edit them in the
associated applications and automatically incorporate those changes into the current project without quitting
Premiere Pro or replacing files. Exported Premiere Pro movies can also be embedded with information that allows
them to be opened using the Edit Original command that is in other applications, such as Adobe After Effects.
1 Select a clip in either the Project panel or Timeline panel.
