Step 2: Adding the Media to the Project and the Timeline
Step 2: Adding the Media to the Project and the Timeline
In this section, you will import your opening clip and your POV clip (the one that shows the Soldier/Robot Point of View), and then you will add them to the Timeline.
Task: Add your media to the project and then the Timeline by following these steps:
- Bring your Opening and POV clips into Premiere Elements 7 by selecting the Organize tab, clicking the Get Media button, and using one of the following methods:
- With your camera connected to your computer, click the DV Camcorder button. Capture your footage in the usual way.
- Click the PC Files and Folders button. Import your files in the usual way.
- Once the import or capture has finished, click the Edit tab to switch to the Edit Workspace; then click the Project button to display the Media view. Your captured or imported files should appear here.
- Drag your Opening clip from the Media view onto the Main_Video track of the Timeline and drop it right at the start (the head) of the Timeline track (see Figure 7).
- Repeat step 3 and drag your POV clip from the Media view onto the Main_Video track of the Timeline and drop it at the end (the tail) of the Opening clip (see Figure 8).
