ADOBE PREMIERE ELEMENTS 11 CLASSROOM IN A BOOK 81
Sometimes, however, you’ll want to manually organize clips into Events—perhaps
because like the Shuttle flight, the event took place over multiple days. Or, perhaps
you shot video and pictures at more than one event on a particular day and need to
break them into multiple events, like a wedding ceremony and wedding reception.
Here’s the procedure for manually creating Events with the Adobe Organizer. For
the purposes of this exercise, though our clips were gathered from multiple mis-
sions, I’ll assume that the Space Shuttle mission was STS-135, the last mission flown.
1 Click Events (
) to enter Event view. Make sure Events is selected in the top
toolbar, not Smart Events.
2 On the Organizer’s bottom toolbar, click Add Event (
). e Add New Event
dialog appears on the right.
3 Complete the information in the Add New Event dialog.
• In the Name field, type STS-135.
• Use the calendar controls to input a Start Date of 7/8/2011 and an End Date
of 7/21/2011. It’s easiest if you choose the year first and then the date.
• In the Description field, type Final Space Shuttle Mission.
4 Assuming that you still have Lesson04 selected in the panel on the left, all
content in the Media browser should relate to this mission. Click anywhere in
the media window to select that window, and then press Ctrl+A (Windows)
or Command+A (Mac OS) to select all the content in the Media browser,
drag it into the window beneath the description, and release your pointer. e
Organizer adds this content to the mission event.
5 On the bottom right of the Add New Event dialog, click Done. e Organizer
creates the event.

Note: While these
missions actually
occurred and the videos
were shot in 2011 and
before, the media files
that we’re using were
created from NASA
sources in 2012. So
don’t let the dates in the
figure confuse you.
