When to use the Media Browser panel
In short, if in doubt, use the Media Browser panel. It’s a robust tool for reviewing your media
assets and then importing them into Premiere Pro. The Media Browser shows the fragmented
files you might capture with a digital video camera as whole clips; you’ll see each recording as
a single item, with the video and audio combined, regardless of the original recording format.
This means you can avoid dealing with complex camera folder structures and instead work with
easy-to-browse icons and metadata. Being able to see this metadata (which contains important
information, such as clip duration, recording date, and file type) makes it easier to select the
correct clip in a long list.
