1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Auto Save (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Auto Save (Mac OS).
2. Do any of the following, and then click OK:
Select Automatically Save Projects, and type the number of minutes you would like between saves.
For Maximum Project Versions, enter the number of versions of a project file you want to save. For example, if you type 10, Premiere Pro
saves the ten most recent versions.
3. Click OK.
Note: Premiere Pro will only execute an auto save when there are unsaved changes in the currently opened project. This also applies when the
program is in the background or minimized. The potential consequence for leaving a project open with unsaved changes for a long enough period
of time is that eventually all of the auto save versions will become identical, wiping out potentially useful versions to roll back to. Adjust this
preference according to your workflow or close Premiere Pro when you will be working on other applications for an extended period of time.
Capture preferences
Controls how Premiere Pro transfers video and audio directly from a deck or camera. (None of the other project settings options affect capturing.)
The contents of this panel depend on the editing mode. If you’re capturing DV footage, use the default DV capture settings. When DV/IEEE 1394
Capture is the selected capture format, no options are available because the options are automatically set to the IEEE 1394 standard. Additional
capture formats and options appear if you install other software, such as software included with a capture card certified to be compatible with
Premiere Pro.
Note: For P2 DVCPRO 50 and P2 DVCPRO HD projects, the Capture Format setting is not relevant, because the assets are captured and
recorded directly to the P2 card as digital files by the camera.
Device Control preferences
In the Device Control pane of the Preferences dialog box, you specify the settings Premiere Pro uses to control a playback/recording device, such
as a VTR or camcorder.
Label Colors preferences
In the Label Colors pane of the Preferences dialog box, you can change the default colors and color names. You can label assets with these
colors and color names in the Project panels.
Label Defaults preferences
In the Label Defaults pane of the Preferences dialog box, you can change the default colors assigned to bins, sequences, and different types of
media.
Media preferences
Indeterminate Media Timebase Specifies the framerate for imported still-image sequences.
Timecode Specifies whether Premiere Pro shows the original timecode imported clips, or assigns new timecode to them, starting at 00:00:00.
Frame Count Specifies whether Premiere Pro assigns a 0, or a 1 to the first frame of an imported clip, or assigns a number by timecode
conversion.
Write XMP ID To Files On Import Check this box to write ID information into XMP metadata fields.
Enable Clip And XMP Metadata Linking Check this box to link clip metadata to XMP metadata, so that changing one changes the other.
Growing Files (CS6) Premiere Pro CS6 supports growing files for OP1A MXF files. The preference allows users to opt whether Premiere
automatically refreshes as they grow, and if so, how frequently. This preference allows you to edit with these files in your project immediately.
Memory preferences
In the Memory pane of the Preferences dialog box, you can specify the amount of RAM reserved for other applications, and for Premiere Pro. For
example, as you reduce the amount of RAM reserved for other applications, the amount of RAM left available for Premiere Pro increases.
Some sequences, such as those containing high-resolution source video or still images, require large amounts of memory for the simultaneous
rendering of multiple frames. These assets can force Premiere Pro to cancel rendering and to give a Low Memory Warning alert. In these cases,
you can maximize the available memory by changing the Optimize Rendering For preference from Performance to Memory. Change this
preference back to Performance when rendering no longer requires memory optimization.
Player Settings preferences (CS5.5, and earlier)
In the Player Settings pane of the Preferences dialog box, you can select the default player. Premiere Pro uses the player to play media from clips
