Using libraries from Adobe Premiere 6.5 or earlier
Adobe Premiere 6.5 supports containers called libraries, which store clips from one or
several projects. A library is a separate file apart from any project. Although Adobe
Premiere Pro doesn’t directly support libraries, you can open a library. The library converts
to a bin when you open it as an Adobe Premiere Pro project. To store a set of clips so that
they are available for other projects, simply save a project that contains the clips, and
import that project into other projects (see
“Importing another project” on page 85).
To import a library:
1 Choose File > Import.
2 Locate and select the library (.PLB) file, and then click Open.
Customizing the Project window display
Each clip appears in the Project window with its clip name and detailed information about
the clip. You can view and sort clips in List view or Icon view, and you can customize the
information displayed in List view.
Project window views
A. List view B. Icon view
To change the Project window view:
Do one of the following:
• Click the List View button or the Icon View button at the bottom of the window.
• Choose View > List or View > Icon from the Project window menu.
To arrange items in Icon view:
Drag an item to any square. As you drag, a vertical bar indicates where the item is going. If
you drag an item to a bin, the item goes inside the bin.
You can use Icon view for storyboarding and then use the Automate To Sequence
feature to move the storyboard into a sequence. See “Adding clips from the Project
window automatically” on page 134.
