Let’s begin by creating a new project.
1. Launch Premiere Pro. The Home screen (sometimes also called the “Start screen”) appears.If you have opened Premiere Pro a few times, you won’t see links to tutorials (as mentioned
in Lesson 1). Instead, in the middle of the screen you’ll find a list of previously opened
projects. You should see Lesson 01. You could click that project to open it, but you’re
going to make a new one.Notice that you can thin out the list of recent project files by typing some text into the Filter
text box—only project files whose file names contain the text will be displayed.There are a couple of other items in this window:
Magnifying glass icon: Click the magnifying glass icon at the top right of the Home
screen to open a multipurpose Search screen. If you enter text into the text box at the
top of the screen, Premiere Pro will display both previously opened project files and
tutorials from Adobe Premiere Pro Learn & Support that contain the text. You’ll need
to be connected to the Internet to access the tutorials.
User icon: Next to the magnifying glass is a thumbnail of your Adobe ID profile
picture. If you have just signed up, this may be a generic thumbnail. Click the icon to
manage your account online.
2. Click New Project to open the New Project dialog box.
