The next time you open the project, Adobe Premiere Pro asks you to locate the file.

Remove assets from a project

You can remove assets you don’t need from the Project panel without removing them from your hard disk.

Remove an item from the Project panel

Select the item and press the Delete key.

The file remains on the hard disk

Note: When you use the Project > Make Offline command, you have the option of deleting the actual source file along
with its reference in the project. (See “

Work with offline files

” on page

68.)

Remove unused assets from the Project panel

You can remove assets you haven’t used in the Timeline panel from the Project panel.

Do one of the following:

Sort the Project panel List view by the Video Usage or Audio Usage columns to identify unused clips, and then
select and delete them.

Choose Project > Remove Unused.

Play back a clip in the Project panel

You can use the preview area at the top of a Project panel to preview individual clips.

1

Select the clip.

2

Press the Play button

on the thumbnail viewer. The Play button becomes a Stop button. Press Stop to stop

playback. (Playing the clip in the thumbnail viewer does not affect Source Monitor views.)

Change the frame rate of a file [F23124 Create single "Modify Clip" dialog (combining
Offline File, Timecode, Interpret Footage, Field Options and Audio Channel Mapping]

You can use the Interpret Footage command to change the frame rate that Adobe Premiere Pro assumes for a clip.
Changing the frame rate changes the original duration proportionally. For example, if you set a 10-second, 24-fps
clip to 48 fps, it becomes half as long, with a new duration of 5 seconds. Be aware that a clip’s frame rate is reconciled
with the project’s frame rate. For example, if you change a 24-fps clip to 48 fps and it’s used in a 24-fps project, the
project can display only every other frame of the clip.

You can also change clip speed and duration by choosing the Clip

> Speed command for a clip selected in the

Timeline panel. However, such a change affects only that clip instance in the Timeline panel. Using the Interpret
Footage command changes how a file is interpreted throughout a project.

1

In the Project panel, select a clip.

2

Choose File

> Interpret Footage, select a Frame Rate option, and click

OK.
