Importing is different from capturing. The Import command brings files that are already on your hard disk or other connected storage device into
your project. Importing files makes them available to a Premiere Pro project. Premiere Pro lets you import numerous types of video, still images,
and audio. Finally, you can export a Premiere Pro project from After Effects, and import it into Premiere Pro.
You can import video, audio, and still files in various file formats into a Premiere Pro project. You can import a single file, multiple files, or an entire
folder. Frame sizes cannot exceed 16 megapixels.

In Premiere Pro, you can import files by using the Media Browser or the Import command. You can also place files into Premiere Pro from Adobe
Bridge.
Premiere Pro indexes certain types of files and transcodes others after importing them. You cannot edit these types fully until these processes are
completed. The filename of a clip appears in the Project panel in italics until it has been fully indexed or transcoded.
To import files that Premiere Pro does not support natively, install the appropriate capture card or third-party plug-in software. For more
information, check the manual that came with the installed card or plug-in.
