Adobe CS5 Production Premium Panasonic AVCCAM
To the right of the clip Name, you will see numerous
columns of metadata. You can select which columns
are displayed, and in what order, by clicking on the
yout menu icon in upper right of the Media Browser
panel, and choosing “Edit Columns.”
You can sort the clips by any of the metadata
columns, so if you wish to group your clips by Name,
or any other of the applicable columns, you may do
so before importing.
If you have shot a variety of formats or frame rates,
a good way to sort footage is to activate the Frame
Rate and Frame Size columns and move them
up near the Name column. You can then easily determine which footage is which format and/or
frame rate. Note that the footage
frame rate will include interlaced or
progressive information, and that
1080i60 material will read as 59.94i,
while 1080p30 material will read as
29.97p, making it easy to tell which
is which.
To import a clip from the Media
Browser into Adobe Premiere Pro
directly, you can drag it to the Project
panel, or you can right-click and
choose “Import.”
If you wish to review clips before
deciding to import them, a clip in the
Media Browser can be opened in the Source panel only – without importing into the project -- by
double-clicking. ere, you can set In/Out points and then send the selection only to the timeline.
You can drag/drop the selection by cursor, or, you can send the clip to the Current Time Indicator on
the timeline by pressing the comma key for an Insert edit, or the period key for an Overlay edit. You
can also click the corresponding edit buons under the Source panel. e selection will appear in
the timeline, and the full clip will automatically be imported into the project.
File>Import
You may also use the Import selection under the File Menu (or Ctrl+I in Windows or Command+I on
the Mac). In the Import dialogue box, you would then navigate to the STREAM folder and select the
MTS les for import.
Drag And Drop
You may also use Windows Explorer or Finder to navigate to the STREAM folder of an AVCHD SD
card. en, you may simply drag the video les to the Project panel in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Working With the Footage In Adobe Premiere Pro
Working With Metadata
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 has powerful tools for media management by working with metadata
stored with each clip.
Under the Window menu, the Metadata panel can be activated. e panel is divided into three
sections – Clip, File, and Speech Analysis. e Speech Analysis section will display the text transcript
of the spoken words in the audio if the clip has been analyzed with the Analyze Content tool under
the Clip menu.
Many metadata elds in the Clip and File sections may be edited. e data will be saved and
viewable as an XMP
TM
le created to be associated with the clip. is XMP data is viewable in other
applications which support XMP, including all the other applications in the Creative Suite. us, the
changes made are viewable, and the metadata is editable, in other CS5 applications such as Aer
Eects and Adobe Encore. e XMP les are saved in the STREAM folder of the AVCHD card.
Adobe has created a Workspace
conguration called “Metalogging”
which is useful when browsing
and importing footage
using the media browser.
(Panel>Workspace>Metalogging,
or Alt+Shi+5 (Windows) or
Option+Shi+5 (Mac))
Note:
e metadata discussed in this
section is XMP metadata created
and used by Adobe CS5 Production
Premium applications. is is not
the Panasonic metadata stored by
the camera.
