Part I ✦ Getting Started with Premiere
Figure 1-3: Use the Load Project Settings dialog box to pick project presets.
• If you want to use the DV files, click the DV– NTSC Real-time preview folder
and then click the Standard 32kHz choice. This setting is used for footage shot
with a DV camera. It adheres to the National Television System Committee
(NTSC) standards used for broadcast TV in the United States.
• If you want to use the lower-resolution files, click the Multimedia QuickTime
choice. After you select the QuickTime preset, click OK to create the new
project. The footage files that we use are 160 x 120 and play at 25 frames per
second. Thus, your next step is to change the project settings to match the
frame size and frame rate of the video footage. To do this, choose Project ➪
Project Settings ➪ Video. In the Project Settings dialog box, set the frame size
to in the horizontal field (h) to 160. Automatically Premiere enters 120 into the
vertical resolution field (v) because the default setting is for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Next, change the frame rate field to 25. After you’ve made the changes, click
OK. Premiere warns you that the Video Settings have been changed. It also men-
tions that preview files will be deleted. Don’t worry about this. Simply click OK.
After you’ve selected the preset, click OK to create the new project. Premiere then
opens the Project, Timeline, and Monitor windows, along with two palette groups.
