Essential training covers the "polish" phase of post-production. Premiere Pro Essential Training (2022–2024) Online Class Create a master folder for the project:

Setup & Project Organization (Step-by-step)

Create a master folder for the project:
- /ProjectName/
  - /00_ProjectFiles/
  - /01_Footage/
  - /02_Proxies/
  - /03_Audio/
  - /04_Graphics/
  - /05_Exports/
Start Premiere Pro → New Project:
- Location: /00_ProjectFiles/
- Renderer: choose GPU Acceleration (Mercury Playback Engine) if available.
Import media via Media Browser (preferred) to keep metadata and handle camera card structures.
Create a Sequence matching main camera settings (frame rate, resolution). If mixing frame rates, choose the target delivery frame rate.

Best Practices & Workflow Checklist

Ingest & back up media immediately.
Use consistent naming and folder structure.
Transcode or proxy high-bitrate media for edit performance.
Save versions frequently (ProjectName_v01.prproj).
Use adjustment layers for global color/FX.
Deliver masters in high-quality codecs; create platform-specific H.264/H.265 copies.
Keep a short “deliverables” list for each project (e.g., master ProRes, social 1080x1920, 16:9 YouTube file, SRT).
