title	Don't Need No Trash

ONLY IMPORT THE CLIPS YOU WANT FOR THE EDIT.

There's no point in importing clips that you won't be using. You'll be wasting your time, and cluttering up your bins.

The selected clip(s) will be imported into the selected Bin.

Rinse and repeat.

Re-name ALL clips - ensure you use a comprehensive naming convention that makes organising, sorting and locating clips easy.

Select the required clip in your Bin (double click the file if you need to view it in the Source panel).

Tip

title	Naming your clips...soooooo important!

A good naming convention is to start with a TLA (Two or Three Letter Acronym), ie. WS (Wide Shot), MWS (Medium Wide Shot) MCU (Medium Close Up), CU (Close Up), ECU (Extreme Close Up), INT (Interview), followed by a brief description of the shot. ie:

WS_Building208_GardenStudents

Notice the use of underscores instead of spaces and capital letters for each new word.

If you are using the Clapper to Slate Shots the naming convention would be 'Scene.Slate.Take' based on the information from the clapper board and the Continuity, Camera and Audio Reports, i.e.:

5.1.1

5.2.2 It can also be informative to add 'Description'. i.e:

5.1.1.ShotOfSomething

5.2.2.SomethingElse

This will now keep everything in script order and will make the editing process much easier to navigate.

You can also Label clips using the built-in Color Label function (the names of the Labels can be changed in 'Premiere Pro > Preferences > Label Colors).

To add a Label, right-click on the desired clip, select Label and choose your colour.
