2. Either choose New Project on the Welcome screen that appears when Premiere Pro starts up or, after the application is open, choose File >
New > Project.
3. Browse to a location where you want to save the project file, name the project, and click OK.
Whenever possible, specify a location and name that you won’t have to change later. By default, Premiere Pro stores rendered
previews, conformed audio files, and captured audio and video in the folder where you store the project. Moving a project file later may
require moving its associated files as well.
4. Do one of the following:
Select a preset, or customize settings, for the first sequence of the project. For more information, see Create a sequence. Then, click
OK.
To create a project without a sequence, click Cancel.
5. (Optional) If you want to change where Premiere Pro stores various types of files, specify the scratch disk locations. See Specify scratch
disks to improve system performance.
Premiere Pro supports high bit-depth (greater than 8 bits per channel) video necessary for editing standard and high definition
footage.
Review project settings
All project settings apply to the whole project, and most can’t be changed after a project is created.
After you begin working in a project, you can review project settings, but you can change only a few of them. You can access these settings
through the Project Settings dialog box.
1. Choose Project > Project Settings > General, or Project > Project Settings > Scratch Disks.
2. View or change settings as needed.
3. Click OK.

rectangle with cross hairs marks the title-safe zone when you click the Safe Margins button in the Source Monitor or Program Monitor. Titles are
usually assumed to require a wider safe zone than action.
Specifies how much of the frame edge to mark as a safe zone for action so that action isn’t cut off by television set overscan. A
